Fish: considering that my left flopflop can beat Trump, start practicing you poses.

"It's one person - coming in from Gina,

U.S. intelligence agencies issued warnings about the novel coronavirus in more than a dozen classified briefings prepared for President Trump in January and February, months during which he continued to play down the threat, according to current and former U.S. officials.

The repeated warnings were conveyed in issues of the President’s Daily Brief, a sensitive report that is produced before dawn each day and designed to call the president’s attention to the most significant global developments and security threats.

For weeks, the PDB — as the report is known — traced the virus’s spread around the globe, made clear that China was suppressing information about the contagion’s transmissibility and lethal toll, and raised the prospect of dire political and economic consequences.

But the alarms appear to have failed to register with the president, who routinely skips reading the PDB and has at times shown little patience for even the oral summary he takes two or three times per week, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified material.

Ms. Wanna: " dozen classified briefings prepared for President Trump in January and February, months during which he continued to play down the threat, "

The chief of the WHO on Feb. 25: "However he added: “For the moment we are not witnessing the uncontained global spread of this virus and we are not witnessing large scale severe disease or deaths."

The head of the NIH on Feb 17: "Top disease official: Risk of coronavirus in USA is 'minuscule'; skip mask and wash hands"

So you are basically saying that the health organizations are useless?

Gotta love those Trump 'leaks', cherry-picked third (or fourth) hand information with an agenda. It wouldn't surprise me if Trump under-estimated the threat given the false alarms in the past, and that he also got a wide range of advice from a hundred people. All you gotta do is find the one guy who lucked into the correct answer and then bang the drum about how 'WHY DIDNT TRUMP LISTEN TO THAT GUY'.

It's like finding an investment genius who guessed a flipped coin correctly 20 times in a row, there's always That Guy.

Listen, we'll already all know a few things. (1) Government is pretty shitty at responding to emergencies, it's the nature of large organizations. (2) This is all about the 2020 election at this point because Orange Man Bad. (3) Hindsight is 20/20 and everyone is an epidemiologist in an epidemic, especially CNN.

Just like my acquaintance who works at the local hospital told me. Got a cancerous tumor that needs to be removed? Sorry, you have been cancelled. And the surgery workers are now wondering how they will make it without a paycheck and how they will eat.

‘The Hospital Crisis of Our Making’

“We feared hospitals would be overwhelmed. Instead, in many states, they’re emptying out and laying off doctors and nurses.

We had to destroy the hospitals to save them.

You could be forgiven for thinking that’s the upshot of the coronavirus lockdowns that have suspended elective surgeries and generally discouraged people from going to hospitals

Many hospitals are getting pushed near, or over, the financial edge. At a time when we feared that hospitals would get overwhelmed by a surge of patients, they have instead been emptied out. At a time when we thought medical personnel would be at a premium, they are instead being idled all over the country.

We are experiencing an epidemic that bizarrely — and in part because of the choices of policymakers — has created a surfeit of hospital beds and an excess of doctors and nurses.”

Specifically, the PRA allows for public access to Presidential records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) beginning five years after the end of the Administration, but allows the President to invoke as many as six specific restrictions to public access for up to twelve years. The PRA also establishes procedures for Congress, courts, and subsequent administrations to obtain special access to records that remain closed to the public, following a 30‑day notice period to the former and current Presidents.
Requires that Vice-Presidential records are to be treated in the same way as Presidential records."

Daily quotes at night.

Observations: “As we go forward, being able to confront communist China and being able to prevail against communist China is going to be much more difficult than it was to prevail over the Soviet Union. Unlike the Soviet Union, there are powerful people, like Bill Gates, and powerful institutions, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and many American universities, that feel an affinity for communist China and who will defend it. They need to be exposed and defeated.” —Gary Bauer

Tongue-in-cheek: “North Korea is way more progressive than the US. Think about it: About to have a female leader. Communist. Christianity outlawed. No billionaires. They’re really putting us to shame.” —Matt Walsh

Belly laugh: “I can’t believe that Stacey Abrams allowed Georgia to open its businesses. I mean she’s the governor, right?” —Ben Shapiro

For the record: “The launch of a military satellite by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, makes clear what we have said all along: Iran’s space program is neither peaceful nor entirely civilian. … This satellite launch vehicle and others launched before it incorporate technologies identical to, and interchangeable with, ballistic missiles, including longer-range systems such as intercontinental ballistic missiles ICBMs.” —Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Non compos mentis: “I don’t think [the House impeachment managers] had any idea how much damage [Trump] would go on to do in the months ahead. There are 50,000 Americans now who are dead in significant part because of his incompetence. … I don’t think we would have ever anticipated that his brand of narcissism and his brand of incompetence, sometimes his brand of malevolence, would be so fatal to the American people.” —Rep. Adam Schiff, whose impeachment charade contributed to those deaths much more than anything Trump did or didn’t do

Dezinformatsiya: “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died over the entirety of the Vietnam war, does he deserve to be reelected?” —New York Magazine’s Olivia Nuzzi to President Trump at Monday’s briefing

And last… “What if we suspend pay of ALL senators and governors and give them $1,200 to live on for 10 weeks. How fast would our country re-open?” —George Papadopoulos

Bonus....something new! Today’s Blue Mob ‘A Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste’ Award goes to Corrupt Tedros Ghebreyesus.

“Yesterday, the director of the World Health Organization pontificated, “The world should have listened to the WHO carefully.” Recall that in mid-January, the ChiCom-supporting WHO erroneously claimed, “Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission” of COVID-19.

‘Mitt Romney Trashes Trump Admin’s Management Style, Swipes At President Over Coronavirus Response’

“Assuring students the issue wasn’t necessarily with President Donald Trump, with whom Romney has had an ongoing “hot-and-cold relationship,” in the words of Yahoo News, the Senator quickly added, “I’m not blaming this administration.”

But, he said, he’d be handling the coronavirus pandemic differently if he were in charge.”....

“In a setting like this, had I been the president of the United States, I’d say, ‘You know what? I need some real experts in crisis management … people who have really dealt with this more than I have,’” Romney said, suggesting that Trump reach out to former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who guided his state through recovery from Hurricane Sandy.

Presumably, Romney was also referring to himself; he was the only Republican Senator not selected for the Trump administration’s coronavirus task force despite his experience in resurrecting the Salt Lake City Olympic games, and handling a number of financial disasters when he was in private practice.

Asked why Romney was excluded from the task force, President Trump was blunt: “I don’t really want his advice.” (ROFLMAO)

‘Primary motivation’

“The decision by the state Board of Elections to cancel the presidential primary in June is perhaps necessary given the virus situation. But there still will be primaries for Congress and state races, and they could be affected by the removal of the presidential race.

In fact, election officials, appointed by the Democratic Party, say they believe lower voter turnout will make the day safer for voters and poll workers. Not incidentally, lower turnout generally favors incumbents.

Attacks on Homeschooling Suggest Nervous Government Schools

“As I look around at headlines and stories like these, I can’t help but ask myself, “Why the negativity?” Sure, it’s easy to see why there would be frustration. We can all sympathize! Everyone’s life has been upended and parents and children had homeschooling thrust upon them overnight. They weren’t prepared.

Given these factors, it’s remarkable that so many parents view homeschooling more favorably after trying their hand at it, especially in less than optimal circumstances. The poll reveals that alarmist hype over the problems of homeschooling may be overblown.”

The score is Joey Fingers 1, Pussy Grabber 16

“When journalists write about incidents that occurred long ago, especially serious allegations such as sexual misconduct, a key goal is to find people who will say that they heard about the incident at the time.”
That’s what we wrote back in 2016, when we first put together a list of the allegations of sexual misconduct against former president Bill Clinton and then-candidate Donald Trump during the presidential campaign. We later expanded the list for Trump in 2017, eventually reaching a total of 16 women, after more allegations emerged. (See the video below.)"

Oh well. Someday I old and uglier and will have to hire help with the yard work, but not today! Later, it’s Springtime and the sap is running. (Yes, a joke at my expense.)

Soon (through it may seem like forever if you are quarantined), June will be bustin out all over.
Gotta work on clearing the Zombie Circle of Safety around the humble abode. Maybe even make some zombie fire breaks next year. Got the idea from the local chapter of the Zombie Safe Council. Later. The weeds will get too damned high.

Lie'n Biden gets busted.
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/04/29/nytimes-shoots-down-biden-talking-points-we-made-no-conclusion-either-way-on-tara-reade/
"A New York Times spokesperson said Wednesday that former Vice President Joe Biden’s White House campaign twisted their reporting on Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations and claimed an exoneration that the paper never suggested."

[Walt]

Now how did this slip out?
https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/04/29/progressive-mag-counterpunch-sexual-misconduct-allegations-swirling-around-biden-for-many-years/
"A 2008 column in the far-left magazine CounterPunch accusing Joe Biden of “loutish sexual advances” in the U.S. Senate has become a lightning rod in the debate over Biden and his former staffer Tara Reade’s allegation of sexual assault in 1993."
Naaaa,,, NO history of being a womanizer. Even your swamp queen has been lie'n through her dentures.(those are false teeth Mary) Seems everything is fake when it comes to Proggys.
Speaking of which,, "yours" fake too?

Surprised? Anyone....anyone?

THIS IS NOT MY SHOCKED FACE: Woman who blamed Trump after giving husband fish tank cleaner now under investigation for murder.

"Investigation by the Washington Free Beacon revealed that Wanda was prolific Democrat donor with violent tendencies and had been previously charged with domestic assault against her husband. Mesa City Police Department said that it is now starting a criminal investigation into Gary's death and has requested copies of the outlet's interviews with Wanda."

I had to check out what the Blue Mob was hubbubbing about re:Tara Reade.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213344589

I did enjoy this response:

"Only attack the enemy, the christo-fascist right.
Never, ever, attack people who are on your side."

'Christo-fascist', I rather like that.

"This is a Republican dirty trick. Don’t fall for it. Pass it on."

Just imagine the opposition research going on with T. Reade right now. All them women believin' operatives scouring the world for her ex-boyfriends, ex-bosses, ex-kindergarten teacher. It'll make Hillary's shall we say 'aggressive' cover-ups for Bill look trivial.

Interesting post about your physical description of the devil, My spiritual mythology describes the devil as being a large overweight man with red skin (orange?) with odd spiked blondish hair.

L has left the building. Heard he is over on Yubanet

PaulE 1218pm - Now why is that image not a surprise and completely predictable? It's easy to see that such a perception is also part of the litmus test for a leftwinger.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2008/08/23/quot-change-quot-quot-hope-quot-why-they-must-be-talking-about-joe-biden/

"Biden is a notorious flapjaw. His vanity deludes him into believing that every word that drops from his mouth is minted in the golden currency of Pericles. Vanity is the most conspicuous characteristic of US Senators en bloc , nourished by deferential acolytes and often expressed in loutish sexual advances to staffers, interns and the like. On more than one occasion CounterPunch’s editors have listened to vivid accounts by the recipient of just such advances, this staffer of another senator being accosted by Biden in the well of the senate in the weeks immediately following his first wife’s fatal car accident."

[scenes]

a bit more on Joey Fingers from the Cockburn article

"The first duty of any senator from Delaware is to do the bidding of the banks and large corporations which use the tiny state as a drop box and legal sanctuary. Biden has never failed his masters in this primary task. Find any bill that sticks it to the ordinary folk on behalf of the Money Power and you’ll likely detect Biden’s hand at work. The bankruptcy act of 2005 was just one sample. In concert with his fellow corporate serf, Senator Tom Carper, Biden blocked all efforts to hinder bankrupt corporations from fleeing from their real locations to the legal sanctuary of Delaware. Since Obama is himself a corporate serf and from day one in the US senate has been attentive to the same masters that employ Biden, the ticket is well balanced, the seesaw with Obama at one end and Biden at the other dead-level on the fulcrum of corporate capital."

re: GeorgeR@12:26PM

You'd think Paul would stay on his announced vacation, but there's always trivial bon mots to pitch.

In terms of Lenin & Co., I think to some extent that Americans, and leftish Americans mostly, are profoundly ignorant about the Russian revolution and it's adventures up through Khrushchev (rather like the love affair with Che Guevara). I mean, man, those were some brutal cats. About the only similar situations I can think of were some of the religious wars in Europe.

[Paul Emery]

Is it just as predictable as L's description of Lenin looking like the "Devil" ?

For a delightful demonstration of this phenomenon read O'Rourkes "Holidays in Hell".

Emery. Do judge the comparison of the two when you get there..
Then get back to us.

I'm afraid that Lenin mostly looked like the Devil on the inside. On the outside, more like Anton LaVey, who certainly wanted to look like the Devil. Weirdly, things like tarot cards make the Devil look like some sort of Khnum-on-a-throne. Since he's rather a sort of life-giving god, it could be that early Christians were appending him and Dionysus into a sort of bad guy. Dunno, these things are mysterious by nature.

His alter-ego, Hitler, had more the look of a postal clerk. Definitely less picturesque.

Hang on, are you trying to defend Lenin? lol. Hell, he didn't even make the trains run on time.

Anyone venture out to the transfer station today to see how the 200 vehicle limit was working? I checked there webcam at 1:00PM and the entrance gate was closed, a sheriff's vehicle parked in front of it. No cars in the driveway. So how does closing 2 plus hours early prevent C-19? The only thing it does is allow Waste Management to cut its employees hours and make more money. No word that they have cut their fees or what they charge the County for reduced service. I wish I could have seen the reaction of person No. 200, who waited in line and then was told to take their trash back home. How many piles of stuff has been left on McCourtney Road?

Are you sure? I mean, seriously, check out the cool hat.

re: Keith "The only thing it does is allow Waste Management to cut its employees hours and make more money."

Bingo. You'd think that this would be a perfect time for the county to shove a few shekels their way and push a bunch of green waste through there. Lotsa opportunities for fire abatement right now and it isn't like you have a bunch of folks in a crowd. It's nothing like a grocery store. Oh well, the mysteries of government and large company bureaucracy are numerous, it's why so many people want them to be conjoined.

In terms of person number 200, I would simply pass out 200 chits to people in line and tell everyone else tuff luck. Maybe throw a cone or sign at the end. Betcha that number 201 found out at the gate.

There is a Libertarian in Congress now.

He's thinking real hard about running for President.

I don't much care for Amash but I'd be happy to vote for him. Relatively happy. Compared to Biden or Trump... especially in California...

[Walt]

This was how dirty the Obummer FBI was.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michael-flynn-fbi-handwritten-notes-get-him-lie-fired
"Explosive new internal FBI documents unsealed Wednesday show that top bureau officials discussed their motivations for interviewing then-national security adviser Michael Flynn in the White House in January 2017 -- and openly indicated that their "goal" was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired."

The handwritten notes -- belonging to former FBI general counsel James A. Baker, Fox News is told -- indicated that agents planned to get Flynn “to admit to breaking the Logan Act” and catch him in a lie. The Logan Act is an obscure statute that has never been used in a criminal prosecution; enacted in 1799, it was intended to prevent individuals from falsely claiming to represent the United States abroad.

The end justify the means,, Right Lefties?

THIS IS HUGE

And to think the Fuck Face Feeble Fakenews Man of Off Broad Street (along with the Enemey of the People) tried to paint the reform minded General as a traitor and a LIAR. May the old buzzard choke choke on his own vomit as we (The White Hats) try to drain the Swamp from which the Phony Taled one lives and breathes and calls his own.

"Flynn Documents Show FBI Goal Was To ‘Get Him Fired’
Handwritten notes from the FBI that had been withheld from Michael Flynn and his defense team show that the FBI's goal in investigating and ambushing Flynn was 'to get him fired.'"

Beat me to it. Good job. Now, Bongino and Undercover Huber has docs that showed they (FBI) lied under oath when they said they didn't get the dossier(s) until Sept, 2016. They were working with Steele in July, 2016...through Steele's FBI handler in Europe. They (the Coup) all insist that it was the bar talk with George P that was the start of the probe and FISA warrents on Carter Page (Oct. 2016. Bull shit. July 28 was when they contacted Steele, not Sept.

Thats their story and they are all sticking to it to save their and Obama's necks...come hell or high water.

Hey, we knew nothing about the Dosier until Sept, 2016. Wink, wink. May they all die choking on their own vomit

[Walt]

Yup, Smear a good man, set him up and fuck him good. All because he wasn't a LIB stooge. ("O" didn't like him)
Those who set him up, and those that gave the order need to be held MORE than accountable. Like they pay restitution personally Lord knows how much they cost him.

And these are the people the resident TROLLS want running the nation?
This is Putin kind of work.
No wonder they FBI fought tooth and nail to keep this news from going public.

You can bet your sweet ass Emery and Mary won't tough this.
This is worse than Grope'n Biden.
