I agree. Years ago I really had hopes for her. Alas, she melted into the swamp and during later years it had come to light she is/was a habitual liar.
Another millionaire populist.
Among the lies she has lived is that she is a populist or progressive either for that matter. When push comes to shove she has always returned to the power base of the
neoliberalestablishment Democrats.-

Sexual allegations didn’t hurt Trump neither will it hurt Biden. Goes down to the handling of the pandemic and the economy. Both heading south for Trump.
Just as a dogs life can be measured in dog years, so can the Trump presidency be measured in Trump years. I predict several normal years worth of <deleted> between now and November. If I had to predict, I'd say everyone's going to be talking about China at that time rather than the coronavirus.

I would disagree there. In my lifetime (1973) I'd put Obama in the #2-4 range. Reagan at the top, and then Obama/Clinton/H.W. in the next three spots. None of those guys were great presidents, all had their flaws and their upside, but they are head and shoulders above the likes of G.W., Carter, Ford, and Trump is like the fungus on the bottom of their feet.
Put them all together and they instituted less positive change in America than did Nixon, who is universally reviled.

Obama rebuilt the country after the disastrous W.Bush years. Biden or whoever the Dems put forward can do the same.
Obama was a horrible president, as was W. Bush, as is Trump, as Biden will be.

In a country like the USA, where health and medical care are only available for who can afford it, it cleans also up a lot of poor people ( especially ni..ers, sorry for usign this word) , immigrants ( all crooks and drugs smugglers acc to Mr Whise Guy), and brings in a LOT of money to the rich, who owns the hospitals, medical care facilities + factories etc.
More cynical we cannot make it.
You can achieve a new, higher level of cynicism if you take 1hr and 40 mins out of your day to watch Planet Of The Humans:

Mass testing is the only solution to knowing what we are talking about, everything else is whisking in the dark.I still don't understand why we don't have a widely available test for everyone . We can put a man on the Moon and rovers on Mars but we cant mass produce a test?
Oh, we can alright, but the incentives have become skewed. Whereas the proper incentive might be to produce as many accurate tests as quickly as possible to ensure good health outcomes, the current incentives are how to reward past and future corporate contributors to political campaigns and how to use that to defeat the other party in the next election.

You believe the USA is the source of all the worlds problems, at least that is the line you continuously post. Everywhere. All the time. Usually while turning a blind eye to CCP, Iran etc. On to you buddy!
I don't believe the USA is the source of all the world's problems, though it is responsible for some of them. I DO believe the USA is responsible for all the problems in the USA however.

I will live long enough to see China's CCP fall just like the Soviet Union fell. And all their mouthpieces and syncophants will be hunted down for being the enablers that they are.
That would be the US government, would it not? And of course its Commerce Department that incentivized US coporations to offshore their jobs to China.

I like your posts. You are one of the few not consumed by hatred.I would still make sure you haven't had your head eaten by zombies and stay six feet away from you but would invite you into my house. Actually my trailer but you know what I mean we don't get visitors much, round here.
People are taking the internet way too seriously these days.
West Virginia is pretty country if you don't happen to find yourself in a strip mine cancer cluster. I'll let you know next time I'm in the neighborhood.

Phase 1 cut off the internet.
Phase 2 cut the electricity
phase 3 water and gas
phase 4 you are now homeless
That's the quickest way to go back to normality
You can't just sit inside and listen to politicians and hope for the best. Here is an honest question what is the actual cash reserves of NYC? I don'r know this but being a trader it is a fair question.
What kind of time frame does Cuomo have before NYC is downgraded?
It's data dependent. Currently the rate f deaths is still rising as the rate of hospital admissions is starting to go down. That has only occurred BECAUSE of the social distancing measures that have been put in place. All the while, while frontlinehealthcare workers are dropping and some dying. It is unknown what the time frame for a downgrade in current measures might be. At least May 15th per current dictums.
I get the frustration, but it should be directed at Congress rather than those who would open things up, or not. Congress should be in session to make sure all the US residents make it through, more or less intact. Instead both parties agreed to make major corporations , most of which are mismanaged, whole. Some even benefitting from the crisis. While giving themiddle finger to the citizen/consumer, which is the engine of the US economy.

It's not solely "fools on the Left". It is neoliberals, which you can find examples of in both parties. There is nothing wrong with people who hold liberal views,or conservative views either, for that matter. It is the marriageofindustry and government that has brought us to this sad end. It is capitalism for the poor and socialism for the rich that will destroy America, if left unchecked.

12 minutes ago, gk10002000 said:it is not really a political turn but a reality turn. People are going to die. no such measures were taken for zika virus, SARS, MERS, Polio. Such moderation and mediation of course should have been done. But lockdowns and shut downs no. The damage to individuals and businesses and states and countries is huge and will cause more deaths by indirect means than the virus did. Bankruptcy personal and business wise. Unemployment approaching 15 % in the USA alone. Debts, loans, foreclosures, bills, many people already in the USA were not buying health insurance OBamacare junk since the tax penalty went away, so now many more will not. And many of those now go to hospitals and start the crushing emergency services all over again as happened in Los Angeles Californa where several major hospitals had to give up and close. Crime statistics, mental health issues aggravated by people cooped up in their small apartments. Education opportunities lost. The list goes on.
There's a solution to all of that, save for healthcare, and that's a UBI. Healthcare ofcourse should be the right of every citizen. Economies should exist to serve humans and not the reverse.

Nothing stupid about it. Lockdowns and stay-at-home orders have not been going on very long and soon the honeymoon stage/long vacation stage is going to wear off and reality is going to hit for millions of people.
Be interesting if the left mocks them for being science deniers and stupid when they are going under and getting desperate.
They might, and I fear that they will. And if they do they have no one to blame but the Democratic leadership who went into negotiations with the Republican Senate in agreement withall the major corporate bailouts and tax breaks for rich people. In fact it was the "progressive" Republicans that got people the individual stipend over Democrat objections. I don't even know this party anymore.

Anything with in an hour of the coast is a suburb these days. So draw a line 50 miles inland and use that as a reference point and report back.
I am sure Pittsburgh has some cases. Thankfully there are two large state parks that consume 90% of the land between where I live in West Vrginia and Pittsburgh.
Sorry.I thought you lived in Eastern Pennsylvania. West Virginia is listed as among the first four states set for re-opening. Bear in mind though, West Virginia has very little resemblance to most of the other states

The 'fly over' states aren't exactly self supporting are they. Due to trump administration political decisions 'fly over states' have required massive Federal subsidies for the agricultural industry.
Just a few days ago trump declared it was state level decisions on when to commence relaxing stay at home / social distancing and so on, but within hours trump reverted to type retweeting highly partisan reversal of his guidelines. There would be no need for all the hyperbole if trump could control his impulses, unfortunately he is incapable to fulfil his role as President of the USA.
Another gem of incompetence by the trump administration...
Too bad they won't return the favor:

What's your proposal? Everybody shelter in place until they run out of cans of tuna? I remember being laughed at awhile back saying places like NYC and CA, are a single disaster away from being bankrupt. That day has arrived.
People in the fly over states as the libs lovingly call them are not willing to sit around any longer. If you plan to shelter in place you had better pray to God that us lowlife, hick, losers get out there and produce.
We have always been the ones feeding such places and now it is going to become more profound. When the tide is out you can see who is naked.
Look at NYC. Social distancing isn't a long term or even short term solution. People live under the conditions typical of a cruise ship or a prison. The ship needs to be evacuated and a real assessment if the ship can ever be inhabited in the same way again needs to happen. Or you need to risk a higher death toll and get back out and do it.
One choice means you pick what life you are going to lead. The other choice means you have to accept the life you will be provided.
Eastern Pennsylvania, now a "hotspot". Not so far from Western Pennsylvania.

No, but I watched it. You might say she is a little detached from the zeitgeist of the general population. Extreme tone deafness. Marie Antoinette level.

Americans and world citizens note the promoting of overthrow of the Commonwealth of Virginia elected government. At the very least, where is the Censure by the US Congress ....
The US Congress is on vacation until May 4th. They said they might come back if there is an emergency.

The next step in this is going to be letting people know there is going to be a continued and rising death toll.
In typical American fashion, maybe we should call the unnecessarily dead, "heroes" from "Gold Star" families.

But do you think electing Joe Biden will do anything to restore American presitge?
I think it will weaken America's credibility even further than re-electing Trump, if that's possible.
That depends. Is crazy and laughable better or worse than impotent and laughable?

Twhy do so many Americans support a three year old who speaks in word salad, who has regular temper tantrums and who of course knows better than everyone else?
For the same reason they will support a 78/9 year old who speaks imcomprehensably, who also has temper tantrums; because they hate their neighbors and they will listen to or read anything that gives them a justification for hating their neighbors. It makes them feel superior to others, when in fact they are laughingstocks. In fairness some people support a given candidate because they will make more money under one or the other, but mostly it's just mass stupidity.

Here comes the character assasination. This woman is actually very credible.
She filed a harrassment complaint at the time of the incident. She told a friend and her mother contemperaneously and her mother touched on it on nation TV at the same time. She told a neighbor not long after. She sought legal assistance long before this presidential campaign from "Times Up", a legal resource that stemed from the #MeToo movement. Only to be told her case was "too political" and might impact their funding. I'm not sure what more this poor woman could have done. And now to be smeared in the press is really reprehensible. Ironically, that woman that went after the SC appointee had MUCH less credibility and yet she was widely believed on the basis of nothing tangible.
