Fair enough. But a manchild repeatedly on tape disregarding safety measures, mingling with large crowds of people without a mask on contracting Covid - I think that much I can believe.

yeah, he’s basically schrödinger’s turd: infected and not infected at the same time, until we flush the toilet and then it becomes clear.

“Joe Biden was in a January 5, 2017 secret Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan and 7 days later he sought to unmask Flynn.”

Opinions
I couldn’t sit idly and watch people die from Trump’s chaotic, politicized pandemic response, so I resigned

Opinion by Rick Bright

Add to list
Rick Bright, an immunologist and vaccine researcher, is the former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.

Of all the tools required for an effective U.S. response to the coronavirus pandemic, one that is sorely missing is the truth. Public health guidance on the pandemic response, drafted by career scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has been repeatedly overruled by political staff appointed by the Trump administration. Career scientists throughout the Department of Health and Human Services hesitate to push back when science runs counter to the administration’s unrealistically optimistic pronouncements.

Public health and safety have been jeopardized by the administration’s hostility to the truth and by its politicization of the pandemic response, undoubtedly leading to tens of thousands of preventable deaths. For that reason, and because the administration has in effect barred me from working to fight the pandemic, I resigned on Tuesday from the National Institutes of Health.

Until April, I had for almost four years been director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority. When I strongly objected this past spring to the Trump administration’s insistence that BARDA support widespread access to chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, two potentially dangerous drugs recklessly promoted by President Trump as a covid-19 cure, I was shunted to the NIH and assigned a more limited role in the pandemic response.

My task at the NIH was to help launch a program expanding national covid-19 testing capacity. The program is well underway, and should reach nearly 1 million daily tests by the end of the year. Since early September, though, I was given no work; my services apparently were no longer needed.

I fear the benefits of dramatically improved testing capacity will be wasted unless it is a part of a coordinated national testing strategy. My recommendations to support a national plan were met with a tepid response. In an administration that suffers from widespread internal chaos, such coordination may be impossible — especially when the White House has seemed determined to slow down testing and not test people who might have asymptomatic infections.

From the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, the administration’s failure to respond with a coordinated strategy only heightened the danger. Now the nation, and the world, are in the worst public health crisis in over a century. More than 1 million people worldwide have died from the pandemic; more than 211,000 Americans are dead. More than half of the states in this country are reporting rising covid-19 cases. Nine months into the pandemic, the United States continues to grapple with failed White House leadership. Instead, we get the recent spectacle of the president exploiting his own illness for political purposes and advising the nation, “Don’t be afraid of Covid.” Ironically, he was only able to leave the hospital after receiving two treatments that I had pushed for in January.

Meanwhile, there is still no coordinated national strategy to end the pandemic. Federal agencies, staffed with some of the best scientists in the world, continue to be politicized, manipulated and ignored.

The country is flying blind into what could be the darkest winter in modern history. Undoubtedly, millions more Americans will be infected with the coronavirus and influenza; many thousands will die. Now, more than ever before, the public needs to be able to rely on honest, non-politicized and unmanipulated public health guidance from career scientists.

He doesn't need to "fear it", really; the "improved testing capacity", if it becomes a thing at all, will most certainly be swallowed by the sad reality that is the Dotard's administration's response to the pandemic/pandemonium. And what the fuck are they "administrating" anyway - the USA's federalism's inherent chaos? Shit, even Brexiteer par excellence Boris is now crying like a little bitch for a globally coordinated response, after he and Farage were the maximum bearers of the campaign to leave that oh-so-evil multinational EU. PALLbearers is what they are now.

He looks constipated while he's offering nothing but weak memorized talking points and platitudes.

I'm not watching it (technical issues, long story), but I hope Harris is wiping the floor with him (and cleans out any remains of his exposure to Covid-19 in the process, just to be sure). Who better than a good, honorable former prosecutor who believes in science (as if science were something one "believes" in - goddamn creationists have fucked up our language for Christ on a stick's sake... Science IS THERE, it's based on FACTS) to demolish an assclown who thinks the Earth is 6,000 years old?

Harris had a solid performance. She was at her best when she was in full prosecutor-mode. There were even a few effective visual cues - at one point towards the beginning, she'd throw a glance directly at her opponent whilst confronting him about the Trump admin's failures. Later on, she was adressing the people directly by looking straight into the camera. Pence seemed uncomfortable and smarmy and mostly tried to make his talking points appear more substantive by constantly babbling on, overstepping his time limits time and time again.

At least now he’s got proof that he has one black friend

I must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Savage Clone again.

So the lil' fly made some headlines (for proving Pence is a piece of shit, I guess) and even prompted Biden to fire this tweet:

 

That is truly brilliant - makes me think Joe hired the same guy who wrote his former boss' "Bucket!" joke.

Hey, The Guardian stole my line...

Kamala Harris walked a tightrope, but still wiped the floor with Mike Pence

Brilliant. Post of the year.

[Savage Clone]

I lifted the line from a friend’s Instagram, so I can’t take credit but it was definitely worth spreading around.

Trump's refusing to do the second debate. Puuuusssyyyyyy
