Trump is too much of a pussy coward to look a man in the eye and fire him.

And I've seen it lots of times. Ask the Roughnecks on Deep Water Horizon. Damn sure ain't the first time some bullshitting phony got people killed. But you talk about winning? More Americans have died under Trump's watch than we lost on 9/11m Afghanistan, and Iraq combined. Yeah what a winner.

Also on a personal note don't you even fucking dare to try to blame Bloody Bill Kristol on us "liberals."

February was the ‘inflection point of failure’ for Trump to save America as we know it: conservative Bill Kristol

*This is another one I won't even mark up. For the beauty of the English Language and someone who knows how to employ it.

Hospitals failed to Stockpile!
States failed to stockpile !
Congress would have never funded a stockpile that large.
States failed to tax citizens for stockpile and relied on Federal Tit !
States like NY tax the crap out of citizens and still didn't stockpile!

None of course was ever Trump's fault!

 

Dear Pencil Hand
You do the numbers Houston.

I mean Lost Circulation Material. And we've already pumped all the nutshells and mica. If you want to save this well we need boxes of Maxi Pads and some of that good SuperVisBestos stuff you guys got stashed somewhere that holds it all together. We will come out of the hole run back in open ended. The pit alarms are going off. And remember its just my rig. Its your fucking hole.

 

Man, I'm sure you don't get that you're defending his lies because he's up front, or honest, about it...

White is black, up is down, and left is wrong!

 

American's have become a bunch of pussies! Dependant upon cheap goods from China ! Too pussy to even demand the companies they work for to bring jobs back!

 

We pumped mattresses and pillows at one point through a Karst formation. Didn't work either. We did figure out how to drill through a Karst.
It was brilliant.

 

I don't even think the Gray Eraser can save us this time. Maybe you been more places. But as far as being in a nine line bind this would be be it. Worst one I have ever seen, ....

No wait I got another call coming in.....

It seems Trump grabbed our Five Foot Bar. Took it out to the sand pile and broke it.

Call National Supple and order another of those for the Simplex Jack.

And lest you forget this is "day work."

 

You dismiss and you ignore besides that you spread lies and half-truths tailored to your dogma.

Thinskin

 

I meant to compliment you on your civility last night, forgot, so today I'll say, ...I like your maturity of being able to ignore insults and move on and not cry about it the next day...thats real maturity, well done Shoots!

 

Anderson Cooper: February Was a Lost Month on Coronavirus Response, Trump Was Doing Things Like ‘Meeting With Diamond & Silk’

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/anderso...-doing-things-like-meeting-with-diamond-silk/

 

LOL... Ignoring then would mean not acknowledging them in anyway, shape, or form...

But do carry on, it provides for a bit of levity.

 

While stumbler stumbles over what Anderson Cooper thinks, and most will still cry its Trumps and Americas fault...

State Department leaked cables renew theories on origin of coronavirus​

A Chinese laboratory at the center of new theories about how the coronavirus pandemic started was the subject of multiple urgent warnings inside the U.S. State Department two years ago, according to a new report.

U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

IF CHINA ACTED EARLIER, CORONAVIRUS CASES COULD HAVE BEEN CUT BY AS MUCH AS 95 PERCENT, FDA CHIEF

Those cables have renewed speculation inside the U.S. government about whether Wuhan-based labs were the source of the novel coronavirus, although no firm connection has been established. The theory, however, has gained traction in recent days.

The United Kingdom has said that the idea that the virus, which has turned into a full-blown global pandemic, was leaked from a Wuhan lab is "no longer being discounted."

A member of the U.K. government's emergency committee of senior officials claimed Sunday: "There is a credible alternative view (to the zoonotic theory) based on the nature of the virus. Perhaps it is no coincidence that there is a laboratory in Wuhan."

Foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang said in a recent opinion piece on Fox News that "many Chinese believe the virus either was deliberately released or accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a P4-level bio-safety facility."

He added: "This lab, known for studying coronaviruses, is not far from the market that had been initially identified as the source of the outbreak."

In a series of diplomatic cables labeled "Sensitive But Unclassified," U.S. Embassy officials warned that the lab had massive management weaknesses, posed severe health risks and warned Washington to get involved.

The first cable, which was obtained by the Post, also sent red flags about the lab's work on bat coronaviruses and more specifically how their potential human transmission represented the risk of a new SARS-like pandemic.

"During interactions with scientists at the WIV laboratory, they noted the new lab has a serious shortage of appropriately trained technicians and investigators needed to safely operate this high-containment laboratory," the Jan.19, 2018 cable, written by two officials from the embassy's environment, science and health sections who met with the WIV scientists, said.

The cable argued that the United States should give Chinese researchers at the Wuhan lab more support because its research on bat coronaviruses was important and dangerous. The lab had already been receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

The cable also called attention to Shi Zhengli, the head of the research project, who in November 2017 published a paper that showed the horseshoe bats collected from a case in Yunnan province were most likely from the same bat population that had been behind the first SARS coronavirus in 2003.

The cable states that "the researchers also showed that various SARS-like coronaviruses can interact with ACE2, the human receptor identified for SARS-coronavirus. This finding strongly suggests that SARS-like coronaviruses from bats can be transmitted to humans to cause SARS-like diseases. From a public health perspective, this makes the continued surveillance of SARS-like coronaviruses in bats and study of the animal-human interface critical to future emerging coronavirus outbreak prediction and prevention."

Despite evidence that points to dangerous practices inside the Wuhan labs, top U.S. military brass, as well as other senior officials, have told Fox News that the origins of COVID-19 did not come from a laboratory nor was it the result of a bioweapon.

"And if I could just be clear, there is nothing to that," Air Force Brig. Gen. Paul Friedrichs told Fox News last week. "Someone asked me if I was worried. That is not something that I'm worried about. I think, you know, right now what we're concerned about is how do we treat people who are sick, how do we prevent people from getting sick. But no, I am not worried about this as a bioweapon."

Still, there are others who have been trying to trace the origin of the novel coronavirus back to the Wuhan lab.

 

When the federal server still use COBOL you cannot expect much, hell their servers are 30+ years old, even my home servers are less than 5 years old and I got mine from an office complex that was throwing them away. Since COBOL is a dead language as far as code goes and the people that do know the language well enough to work with it are all 60+ and almost noone working today can program on it the federal systems are all but useless and will never work well with new technology like the internet. This is not all on one president, it is on every single president and whitehouse for the last 30 years.

 

Trump inherited a recovering economy. The economy is declining as the death rate increases due to his incompetent response to COVID-19.

 

Oh, they've tried, those Federal bureaucrats, to upgrade things, but they keep getting stymied by their own convoluted purchasing policies. Starting with most government agencies have outsourced the entire bid process, and if a company wants to bid on some government contract they first have to register with one (or more) of these non government organizations, and then jump through not only the agency rule book, but the NGO rule book, and most of the time the companies best qualified to do the work say fuck it, and walk away.

Which leaves the big multinational companies with huge overheads to bid, so that a $5,000 server costs $15,000, and the purchasing people, if they've done their homework, know the real cost, and will toss all of the bids and start over. Cause, they all know how embarrassing it is now to be mentioned in some story about the $300 toilet seat, or the $150 hammer.

 

Fauci: White House’s Marathon Virus Briefings Are ‘Really Draining’

I watch them, get disgusted how the press even plays gotcha game with Fauci, trying to get him to say something they want, he deflects the liberal nonsense very well and you can see the frustration in his eyes

 

Just 27% of Americans think the US is doing better than other countries at containing the coronavirus

• Only about 27% of Americans said they think the US is doing a better job at containing coronavirus than other developed countries, a new Insider poll found.
  
  
• And about 46% of Americans think the US is doing worse than other countries in fighting the virus.
  
  
• The US is currently the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, with the most reported cases and fatalities from the virus in the world.

Americans do not appear to be overwhelmingly confident in how their country has handled the coronavirus pandemic compared to the rest of the globe.

Only 27% of Americans said they think the US is doing a better job at containing coronavirus than other developed countries, a new Insider poll found, and about one in five said the US is "much worse" at containing coronavirus than other developed countries.

Overall, about 46% of Americans think the US is doing worse than other developed countries in fighting the virus.

The US is currently the epicenter of the coronavirus pandemic, with the most reported cases in the world.

Poll participants were asked: How would you describe the US coronavirus response compared to that of other developed countries?

Just 11% said they think the US is "much better at containing coronavirus than other countries," while 16% said the US is "somewhat better."

Here's a full breakdown of how Americans responded when asked to characterize the US's handling of the coronavirus pandemic compared to the rest of the developed world:

• 11% said they think the US is much better at containing coronavirus than other countries.
  
  
• 16% said they think the US is somewhat better at containing coronavirus than other countries.
  
  
• 20% said they think the US is containing coronavirus about the same as other countries.
  
  
• 26% said they think the US is somewhat worse at containing coronavirus than other countries.
  
  
• 20% said they think the US is much worse at containing coronavirus than other countries.
  

The coronavirus pandemic has hit the US especially hard — it has the highest number of reported fatalities from the virus in the world. As of Monday afternoon, there were over 572,000 reported cases of the virus in the US, and more than 23,000 confirmed deaths.

The US government has been widely criticized over its handling of the pandemic, particularly in terms of its struggles to set up a robust system of testing for it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sent out faulty testing kits for coronavirus in February, and the US has been behind the curve ever since. Testing capacity has improved, but the US still does not have a comprehensive picture of the scale of the outbreak within its borders.

Comparatively, South Korea, which saw its first reported case of coronavirus the same day as the US in January, set up a strong testing system early on and has seen far fewer confirmed cases of the virus (10,537) and reported deaths (217). While the US was initially performing fewer than 100 tests daily on average, South Korea and other countries were conducting tens of thousands of tests per day.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has faced broad criticism over his approach to the pandemic, particularly given he downplayed the threat of the virus for weeks.
