Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

This was actually in the works to be passed before the virus hit and was folded into the CARES Act as part of its Republican-appealing side. It was to let people with IRAs (I have an inherited one as do you) keep riding the pre-virus market boom for a year without having to lessen the principle to take taxable income. When a boom's on, otherwise sensible people decide that anything that lets people take part in increasing assets is sound public policy.

 

Absolutely.

And I feel equally comfortable with submitting that she also would have been consumed with thoughts about, "How the hell am I going to walk this tightrope so 30 million people aren't thrown out of work as they are deciding whom to vote for this fall?"

And that at least SOME of her decision-making would have been based on "what's best . . . for my re-election chances."

That's not a knock on her. That's Politician Behavior 101. I feel comfortable saying any president other than Jimmy Carter would do the same.

 

Another Jared production. Eagerly looking forward to that wax museum cuck handling the campaign. LOL

 

Arkansas set a new record too. Without setting a record for number of tests performed.

 

Hmm. Covid Tracking says they had 261 new positives today and that they had 455 last Thursday.

Like Wisky and Arky, nothing to see here in Cali either...

Coronavirus cases spiked after these counties reopened. Now, officials are scaling back

Move along everyone, move along...Poin needs a haircut.

 

Jeebus doesn't love me enough. Of course you know Karl Rove will usurp the role eventually.

 

I don't!

Close whatever you want (for the next 6 weeks).

 

555 positive at Tyson meat plant in Storm Lake, Iowa.

Maybe, but she would A) not have thrown away Obama's pandemic plan so she would have had a starting point in December B) started coordinating resources sooner to get hospitals ready for what might be coming C) worked with our allies to help limit the spread of the disease

All if which would have
1) looked good for re-election
2) allowed us to do more testing that would have

a) allowed us to target resources sooner
b) allowed us to know how fast this was spreading in the US to make informed decisions​

3) allowed us to react when it wasn't a big deal meaning less loss of life and less impact on the economy

 

OF COURSE any President confronted with a crisis in a re-election year will think of political consequences. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work. It's the incentive to make the President try to accomplish the best possible outcomes. Unless of course the President is a criminal moron psychopath.
