Poppy Harlow and Real Reporting; Did We Forget?
In September, Poppy Harlow did real reporting. In her interview of Deputy Press Secretary Morgenstern, she didn’t accept nonsense answers. I think I’m in love.
New or noteworthy events and actions.
Trump Howls for a Coup; America Shrugs
We cannot envision a coup happening in America. Trump openly called for his DOJ to arrest of his enemies. We shrugged.
That can’t happen here, we think. This is the path of most failed democracies.
Trump is calling for a coup.
Trump Is A Prancing Pro-COVID Idiot. Where’s Melania?
When Trump sheepishly admitted he and Melania had caught the virus, his tweet said they’d handle it TOGETHER! Now Trump is back to his normal, prancing, Pro-COVID fool, holding super-spreader events. Where’s Melania?
Proof in the Times: Trump Hides Behind the Presidency
The New York Times got a copy of Trump’s tax returns. Besides being a tax cheat, Trump has payments of half a billion dollars due in the next few years. That’s why Trump hides behind the Presidency so hard.
GOP Assaults Public Health; Republicans Want Sick Americans
Republicans spent months stoking Coronavirus into a wildfire. They want sick Americans. What do they want to do to us while we’re busy trying to survive?
The Media Lost Their Minds; Misreporting Trump
The news media persistently misreport Trump, elevating him to the main subject. They haven’t learned many lessons from 2016. Trump learned how to make everything about him, and our reporters still go along. But it’s easy to fix, if we choose.
Trump’s Response To COVID-19: Complete Federal Government Pandemic Breakdown
The Coronavirus is the “US Pandemic.” Every week, the US government earns the right to wear the crown. The US will top the charts (and graphs) in most cases, total deaths, and absolute worst centralized response coordination, coupled with some of the lowest testings rates. It didn’t have to be this way.
Americans are Really Bad at Math
Americans are bad at math. The US daily COVID-19 positive rates only look steady because we aren’t testing any more people.
Every week we test 100K and find another 30K new infections. That’s not what “getting better” looks like. But no, we won’t find any better answers when the best we manage is testing one maybe person in 3000.
