The Lt. Governor of Texas went on Tucker Carlson saying that people should abandon their shelter in place in order to go back to work and boost the economy, and that if that means a bunch of senior citizens wind up being exposed and dying, so be it. Yup, it's fucking disgusting. And they're not even trying to hide it. Trump is so "concerned" about mass suicides happening if the economy doesn't "reopen" as opposed to the ACTUAL THREAT of people contracting this virus and dying from it. Does he think that we open up restaurants and movie theaters and the masses will flock back to them? The stupidity of this administration never ceases to amaze. It's clear he and the other Trumpees value the stock market over public safety. We just have to hope enough of America sees this and votes them the fuck out in November. Narrator - they won't. He's at his highest approval rating since his election. Buckle the fuck up our only hope is he gets infected. And look at Canada with a real leader (he's not my fave but clearly having a real politician in office has its benefits).

To put it in perspective. George W. Bush had a 90% approval rating the week of 9/11. If Trump was even mediocre, just mediocre, his rating would be soaring. Dude is seriously gonna go down as one of the worst Presidents ever.

His approval rating is only that "high" because his base won't ever waver on him. He's trained them to believe anything negative about him is fake news and liberal spin.
Also, who gets to chime in on these polls? No one's ever asked me for my opinion. I'd love to contribute to bringing that approval rating down.

3.3 Million have applied for unemployment. A record. Meanwhile, the government still arguing over the stimulus bill.

And that's an entirely legitimate enterprise too, despite what Mao larper Twitter thinks. HOWEVA, this country clearly needs both a mortgage, rent cancellation and utility abatement/cancellation for at least the next 3 months, subject to how bad this continues to be.

We do, but this also might hopefully be a wake-up call to people that not having enough savings to carry you in an emergency is really really stupid.

As does our Health Secretary, Matt Hancock. Which is no surprise seeing as Parliament remained open and full to capacity a week ago, despite an MP already having tested positive.
Half of the House of Commons will be infected by now. Hopefully the Conservative half...

Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary. A man even more useless than BJ himself, which takes some doing.

For weeks Trump has resisted using the full power of the government to stem the flow of Covid 19.
He has the power to order companies to switch over to making the medical supplies we desperately need.
So far he's told the states to fend for themselves and that creates more of a mess as they bid against each other for things they need to save lives
Finally, he has ordered GM to make ventilators (but they were already gearing up to make them). But what is he doing? Ordering one company at a time?
Many have stepped up on their own, but we need more of a national organized response, not petty games by a leader stupid enough to think hospitals only need two ventilators
