Fauci: Virus rampant in U.S. because of inadequate, patchwork shutdowns

Fauci: Virus rampant in U.S. because of inadequate, patchwork shutdowns
The Trump administration's decision to leave coronavirus shutdown decisions to the states created a patchwork of policies that effectively only imposed restrictions on about half of the country, NIH infectious diseases expert Anthony Fauci told a House hearing on Friday

Uh, Oh. Pompeo Subpoenaed By The House For Dirty Politics
According to a press release from the House’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY)  “issued a subpoena to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as part of the committee’s investigation of his apparent use of Department of State resources to advance a political smear of former Vice President Joe Biden.”


Donnie, you silly man! You said your friend Herman Cain died of the “China Virus.” Listen, I’m no Chinacologist, but they’re not the ones who held a flop rally in Tulsa where attendees skipped masks. Everyone knows it’s your fault. Maybe soon we’ll call it the Resigner Virus! - Bette Midler

There's A Mrs. Pompeo? 
As Secretary of State Mike Pompeo prepared to tour the Middle East last year, senior State Department officials debated whether they could legally justify his wife Susan’s desire to travel with him.
Susan Pompeo had been invited to events in two capitals, Cairo and Abu Dhabi, by foreign officials. But circumstances had grown complicated: a U.S. government shutdown meant the State Department had to be exceptionally careful with spending, and her presence would incur some costs to taxpayers.


Let’s be honest, if Alan Dershowitz was Trump’s next nominee for the Supreme Court, every Republican senator would vote to confirm him. - Andrea Junker

House Slaps The Hand Of Fellow Congressman
In a rare public reprimand of one of their own, the House voted Friday to formally sanction Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) for violating campaign finance rules and improperly using official resources for his reelection efforts.
The measure, adopted by voice vote, imposes a $50,000 fine on Schweikert that must be paid to the U.S. Treasury by the end of October.

Floridians Are Suffering Because Their Governor Kept The State Open For Spring Break. Dumb Ass.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has seen his approval rating nosedive in recent weeks as the state has become one of the new epicenters for the coronavirus pandemic.
A poll by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy released Friday shows that 45 percent of respondents said that they approved of the DeSantis' job performance, while 49 percent disapproved.
This is a stark contrast from the last iteration of the survey in March when 62 percent of Florida voters said that they approved of the job DeSantis was doing, with just 24 percent saying they disapproved.

The congressional underclass erupts in fury after Gohmert gets Covid-19


The congressional underclass erupts in fury after Gohmert gets Covid-19
The revelation Wednesday that Texas Republican Louie Gohmert, a renegade lawmaker known for stalking the halls of Congress without a mask, tested positive for Covid-19 has unleashed a fusillade of anger on Capitol Hill — a sudden release of built-up tension over how the institution has dealt with the coronavirus pandemic within the confines of its own workplace.

Trump May Delay The Election. Probably Accompanied By A Nuke Strike.
President Donald Trump explicitly floated delaying November's presidential election on Thursday, lending extraordinary voice to persistent concerns that he will seek to circumvent voting in a contest where he currently trails his opponent by double digits.


Sen. Lamar Alexander (R) reminds reporters Pelosi would become president if the election were delayed past Jan. 20, when prez terms expire: "if we were to delay the election past January 20, the President would be the Speaker of the House. So I wonder if anyone's thought about that." - Kaitlan Collins, CNN tweet

In the midst of a civil war, one that for Americans was the deadliest armed conflict in history, 150,000 Union soldiers voted by mail in 1864. Their votes helped ensure the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln, the preservation of the nation, and the end of slavery. - George Conway tweet


Trump Must Be A Masochist, Because He's Gonna Get Booed Bigtime.
President Donald Trump is likely to be the only world leader speaking live from New York at this year’s United Nations General Assembly debate, scheduled to take place Sept. 22 to 25.
Kelly Craft, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told a virtual event Thursday morning that Trump would be “the only world leader to be speaking in person,” noting that “this is the 75th anniversary (of the U.N.), so it makes it even more special.”







Turns out the walls that we'll remember from the Trump years are the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Vets. My eyes brim with tears as I see the images. 
America is there, behind the tear gas, the lies, the pandemic death wrought by incompetence. America is there, standing strong. - George Takei

Rep. John Lewis spent one last night in D.C. Tuesday before being taken to Georgia for his burial. As the "conscience of Congress" laid in state on the steps of the Capitol for one final night, a double rainbow appeared above the dome.








It's incredible to be reminded of a President that can speak in public for 30 minutes without saying some insane sh-t like suggesting we inject lysol or smoke hydroxychloroquine. - DKnight10000 tweet

Trump Doubles Down on Demon Sperm Doc
The President of the United States doubled down on his support of a doctors “summit” peddling the debunked COVID-19 drug hydroxychloroquine—just as social media companies crack down on the viral coronavirus disinformation that came out of the event.

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert has tested positive for the coronavirus and is blaming wearing a mask for his diagnosis, despite guidance from the CDC that wearing a mask helps prevent the spread of Covid-19.




And if Covid-19 had been wearing a mask, it might not have caught Louie Gohmert. - John Fugelsang

Trump Fumes Over New Poll Showing Coronavirus More Popular Than Him.  - Andy Borowitz


After 500 Years, Black Americans Are Arming Themselves
When coronavirus lockdowns spread nationwide in March, millions of Americans flocked to their local grocery stores and wholesale markets to stock up for what would become months stuck at home. Black Americans did the same, but some had one addendum to their shopping list: a firearm.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been growing interest among African Americans in arming themselves, as evidenced by increased membership in Black gun owner organizations.
