Kolek planning to go pro
I think pakuni is on your side. Or are you just arguing to argue with no real point?
Don't forget the swastikas, nooses and confederate flags carried by "these very good people."
They just want to buy seeds.
Ah, yes, let's putting unnatural carnal knowledgeing Jared in charge. Volunteers! Exceptional leadership.Kushner coronavirus effort said to be hampered by inexperienced volunteershttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/kushner-coronavirus-effort-said-to-be-hampered-by-inexperienced-volunteers/2020/05/05/6166ef0c-8e1c-11ea-9e23-6914ee410a5f_story.html"Although some of the volunteers have relevant backgrounds and experience, many others were poorly matched with the jobs they were assigned, including those given the task of securing personal protective equipment, or PPE, for hospitals nationwide, according to a complaint filed last month with the House Oversight Committee."The document alleges that the team responsible for PPE had little success in helping the government secure such equipment, in part because none of the team’s members had significant experience in health care, procurement or supply-chain operations. In addition, none of the volunteers had existing relationships with manufacturers or a clear understanding of customs requirements or Food and Drug Administration rules, according to the complaint and two senior administration officials."
Jeez if this is true, this is just awful. What a group we have in charge."The complaint, obtained by The Washington Post, was submitted by a volunteer who has since left the group and who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution from the administration. Key elements of the complaint were confirmed by six administration officials and one outside adviser to the effort, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations....“Americans are facing a crisis of tragic proportions and there is an urgent need for an effective, efficient and bold response,” reads the complaint, which was sent to the committee on April 8. “From my few weeks as a volunteer, I believe we are falling short. I am writing to alert my representatives of these challenges and to ask that they do everything possible to help front-line health-care workers and other Americans in need.”Supply-chain volunteers were instructed to fast-track protective equipment leads from “VIPs,” including conservative journalists friendly to the White House, according to the complaint and one senior administration official.“Fox & Friends” host Brian Kilmeade, for example, called two people he knew in the administration to pass along a lead about protective equipment in an effort to be helpful, according to two people familiar with the outreach. Fox News Channel host Jeanine Pirro also repeatedly lobbied the administration for a specific New York hospital to receive a large quantity of masks, one of the people said."
Sad to say, but this was entirely predictable. Jared can't even run his own business effectively. There was no reason to believe he would be effective at negotiating peace in the Middle East, solving the opioid crisis, reforming the criminal justice system...or helping with the COVID-19 crisis.

If comments like this are going to continue and be unchecked by the mods, why not just bring the Politics Board back? It's a farce to label this as a "Politics Free Zone".And no, I don't think those who carry a swastika, noose or confederate flag are "very good people." My comment cuts both ways.
The Michigan protesters were carrying signs with swastikas, confederate flags and nooses. (And, of course, guns. Lots of guns.) And the president called the protesters "very good people." https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1256202305680158720It's news about COVID-19. Facts. Not opinion at all. And quite tame compared to much of the stuff in this thread.

There's a tweet identifying a photo that has been circulating of a man with a beard, bald head and without a mask who is screaming into two police officer faces. Meet Rob Cantrell who lives in Los Angeles. Rob is a white supremacist who is being paid to attend protests in blue states all over the country.
If true, astroturfing at its finest. Democrats do it do. It is maddening to me. One of the scariest trends in our democracy. I would not be surprised at all to find out that foreign actors are playing a role here as well.
For someone like yourself who has only ever voted left, your posting sure seems like we're in a period of time with cooperation and bipartisanship.
Rocket- I wholeheartedly disagree. Experts are vetted by learning, more info/data and more experts testing hypotheses to an accepted conclusion. Yes you need to find out who you are listening to. That is up to the consumer and the platform presenting to vet. I’m not sure what this has to do with one drug treatment. It got the access to trials and emergency use. If it worked better we would be using it more. I wish it wasn’t politicized and promoted by the media. I wish there wasn’t the backlash of ‘I told you so’ when it didn’t rise to the top. Wasted effort- distraction - dust storm when we need concrete actions.
I have been critical of DeSantis’ approach here. Maybe he got lucky or right, but Florida did better than the doomers predicted by a long shot.https://www.wsj.com/articles/smart-or-lucky-how-florida-dodged-the-worst-of-coronavirus-11588531865
