So I am reading the news at the Daily Mail and other places
Click bait Daily Mail had this story.
"Trump's top economic adviser Peter Navarro warned White House officials in January AND February that coronavirus ..."
So I look when Trump enacted his 1st travel ban.
Navarro wrote a memo on JAN 29th and Trump enacted the China travel ban on 31 JAN 2020
What where the Demoncats doing?
a.) Not mentioning it in the presidential debates.
b.) Calling Trump a racist
c.) Impeaching him
Not to worry asscrats of the Jackass party. Factcheck.org and the Associated Prostitutes (AP) are covering for you. Those fuckers do a fact check on Trump's action and never once mention a date. Why? We know why! The truth dies in broad daylight as journalists stab it with their steely knives.
1. virus came after debates
2. he is
3. rightfully so
1. virus came after debates

2. he is
Says the same people who accuse the the man with Jewish grandchildren of being an anti-Semite and employing his Jewish son-in-law. You gaslighted about antisEmitism, why should I believe your claim of racism you sad, dumb fuck.
Then there is Kanye West. Kanye West has a direct line to Trump. And when Kanye wants prison reform, Kanye does not have to twist Trump's arm.
So once again Anon 8:59 AM you are gaslighting bitch.
3. Flynn is going to walk away a free man. FBI conveniently lost the files. Squirrel has not shown us one nude picture of the prostitutes. No names, no addresses, and no full frontal or crotch shots of the prostitutes.
Keep bringing up Ukraine and we'll bring up Joe Biden and cocaine cowboy Hunter. I mean I would hire a crack head. Wouldn't you?
8:59 you are a dishonest, sad bastard.
Associate professor Ben Harris-Roxas, from the centre for primary health care and equity at the University of New South Wales, is an expert on public health. He thinks that firing public health leaders during a pandemic is a recipe for disaster.
“Public health experience is most important during epidemics. Each epidemic is different, but having experienced and respected public health experts in charge allows quicker action and more effective communication,” Harris-Roxas said.
“Firing public health managers during this pandemic would meaningfully impair the effectiveness of the response,” he added.
On hydroxychloroquine, Harris-Roxas said that “the promotion of untested treatments and cures has been a feature of almost every epidemic in history”.
He said that this led to three potential problems. Untested treatments could harm people, cause shortages of drugs for people who need them for proven treatments, and “contribute to the infodemic – the spread of misinformation”.
Should Fauci go, there will be little impediment to the misinformation which is already exerting a powerful influence on the US federal government’s health policy.
The Trump administration’s failures in dealing with a global pandemic threat raise a frightening, but important, question: How else is this administration putting the United States at risk right now? And what is this administration neglecting in 2020 that will put Americans at risk five, 10, 20 years from now?
In 2017, Michael Lewis, author of books like The Big Short, Moneyball, and The Blind Side, began asking these very same questions — and arrived at some startling conclusions. “The United States government,” he writes, “manages the biggest portfolio of [catastrophic] risks ever managed by a single institution in the history of the world.” And that means the US president is, above all, the risk-manager-in-chief. “Some of the things any incoming president should worry about are fast moving: pandemics, hurricanes, terrorist attacks,” writes Lewis. “But most are not. Most are like bombs with very long fuses that, in the distant future, when the fuse reaches the bomb, might or might not explode.”
In his most recent book, The Fifth Risk, Lewis explores the different ways the US government manages its “vast portfolio” of risks — and how the Trump administration has systematically and purposefully undermined that effort. I spoke to Lewis about what the US government’s risk portfolio looks like, why Donald Trump’s leadership puts us all in danger, how undermining trust may be the biggest risk of them all, and more.
A lightly edited transcript of our conversation follows.
Roge Karma
There are a lot of ways to view the US federal government and the role of the president. But one that you draw out in The Fifth Risk is the idea of the president as a risk manager and the government as a risk aggregator. That is not a way we are used to thinking about our leaders or our institutions. So what does it mean for the president to be a risk manager? And why do you think that is a helpful lens through which to look at our leaders/institutions?
Michael Lewis
A lot of what the federal government does is manage risk, broadly defined. When I walked into my first agency, the Department of Energy, I encountered a man named John McWilliams who was the department’s “chief risk officer” and who had compiled a list of the 138 most dire risks that the Department of Energy alone faced. At the time, I didn’t even know what the Department of Energy did, so that there were 138 risks inside of it worth counting was interesting.
McWilliams was someone who thought about risk like a Wall Street person thought about risk. He thought about volatility. He thought about risk as a portfolio. He was grappling with it in that language. And I thought that was a very interesting way to think of the job of the president: to manage this giant portfolio at risk, not just the Department Energy, but across all of these agencies.
Covid Is Forcing the GOP to Admit Its Ideology Is Delusional
Typical squirrel, lying and losing.
Democrats are delusional, but they like their fellow communists!

Why would you expect the squirrel not to lie about GOP policies.
Squirrel knows as much about queueing theory as squirrels in the wild know about queueing theory.
Why would you expect to have a decent conversation with a squirrel about policy, when squirrel thinks that since it rhymed a few phrases that puts it on the same plane as someone who studied econometrics, statistics, or something real.
I can see squirrel arguing at holiday dinners with family members pointing to its clipping by way of argument.
"Why would you expect the squirrel not to lie about GOP policies."
Quite right. Squirrel has been known to lose arguments with wall paper.
Hush you. They solved that problem a while back. They took down the wallpaper.
