Dumping Moscow Mitch like reforming complete political system

Fix Our Senate Group running killer ads against Moscow Mitch McConnell for protecting Republican Senators "profiting from stock sales while America fights coronavirus.”

Moscow Mitch hung out to dry

Moscow Mitch and his wife Elaine Chou are mired in their own share of corruption in Kentucky and McConnell knows if he pulls the plug on them, they will do likewise. But this sort of thing does naturally fit his personality. The other culprits include...

"Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.), who are among a handful of senators accused of potentially violating a law banning Congress members from making financial trades based on nonpublic information."

Moscow Mitch has made it his goal to stop anything that is presented by Democrats in the Senate, and you might remember his statement when Barack Obama was elected indicating he would see that he was only a one-term president. He failed. And the ad also takes a swipe at how he miserably fails his constituency and other Americans...

"The narrator of the ad also hits McConnell for putting 'handouts for big corporations ahead of real assistance for regular Americans.'”

Politico reminds us of the political corruption between Moscow Mitch and wife Elaine Chao in Kentucky underhanded Transportation deal...

Donald Trump reigns today as the self-made king he has created simply because Moscow Mitch remains completely silent and even encourages him at times. Again the ad...

“His corruption continues while doctors and nurses can’t get the supplies they need and millions are unemployed,” the narrator says. “Enough is enough. Tell Mitch McConnell: end the culture of corruption in the Senate.”

But McConnell is 78 years old, an age where he can't afford to get coronavirus, so you would think this slimeball would be more supportive of fighting the virus. Dianne Feinstein, also accused of selling her stock made this statement...

A spokesperson for Feinstein told The New York Times at the time that the senator had nothing to do with the decision to sell her stocks. Feinstein’s assets are in a blind trust and the senator has no involvement in her husband’s financial decisions, the spokesperson said.

Amy McGrath, running against McConnell in Kentucky will surely be the winner now. GO AMY! But we have no doubt not seen the last of this. 

Trump drive to open economy meets failure

Here's the headline from Common Dreams: "Trump’s effort to enlist private companies to reopen economy derided as an utter failure."

CEOs give Trump heave-ho on opening economy

Yes, the CEOs that run America's corporations are much smarter than the Oval Office lunatic and, despite the fact that they are all extremely profit-minded, they realize the dangers of putting their employees back to work. This would indicate to the triple-digit IQs, and even the double-digit Trump supporters that this idiot is only interested in one thing by forcing the economy to open too soon, it is his desperation to win the November election. Here's the scenario...

"An attempt by President Donald Trump to enlist the assistance of private business leaders in his efforts to reopen the U.S. economy by early May was panned as a failure by participants and observers alike as the White House response to the coronavirus pandemic appears set to make an economic crash worse."

Here's what one CEO who commented anonymously for fear of White House reprisals told Politico...

“He’s got to stop talking about turning the economy back on and start talking about making people feel safe, things that are happening around testing, and the health care system. That’s the only way you will really get the economy reopened over a period of time.”

CEOs are most concerned about COVID-19 testing, which has been a complete failure by Donald Trump, promising, but never delivering. He has boasted about the 3-million done, when the healthcare industry has said we need millions per week, of not by the day. Trump had the gall to open the call with the comment, "testing is under control," which must have sent many of the corporate heads into silent convulsions.

Yet new guidelines from Trump to open economy...

But the same advisers who apparently talked the White House maniac out of officially appointing his daughter, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner to head up the advice team to reopen the economy, talked him into the call to corporations with the following results...

"Those people have apparently told him it would be absurd to get back to regular life before the government has hugely increased testing capabilities."

The dumbest duo

 Donald Trump is still clueless after having been alerted on January 18, by Alex Azar, Secretary of Health and Human Services, who warned him then of the coronavirus threat. That's three months and still Trump does not have a workable COVID-19 testing plan to save more American lives. But it does seem that some employers would be amenable to sending employees back to work if they are immune from litigation. Some fake concern there, perhaps?

Politico's Ben White reported the typical Donald Trump mishandling of things in setting up the corporate executive calls...

“The whole thing was a bit of a disaster, the way they announced this on Tuesday,” White explained on MSNBC, “read a lot of corporate CEO names that had no idea they were a part of this effort to reopen the economy, didn’t give anybody really time to plan to be on these calls. Among the Wall Street executives, a lot of them had earnings yesterday and couldn’t be on the call. One JP Morgan executive tried for 20 minutes to get in and couldn’t.”

 White reiterated corporate execs response to Trump's demands that they help him get the economy rolling,..

“But we cannot do that, our employees will not feel safe until the testing regime is much more widespread, until people don’t feel like they’re going out to be guinea pigs to get the virus..."

But here is the headline to end all headlines: "Trump supporters fear Bill Gates wants to make a COVID-19 vaccine to secretly implant them with brain chips." Based on this statement, you have to assume that many of the double-digit Trump supporters are really in the single-digit category. And this is why we have another moron in the White House.

Dopey Republicans said...Credible scientists said...

This is an argument that scientists and the healthcare community cannot afford to lose...

Here we have one of those stupid arguments that have become commonplace since Donald Trump settled in the White House. The plausible and rational side and the Trump side. leaving the American public in the middle to suffer, some die, from a virus the Oval Office lunatic should have been on the top of from the beginning (having been advised of the potential pandemic on January 18) but clearly has not been. Two months of doing nothing.

Republicans are telling T-rump it should have happened yesterday, referring to the opening of the economy. Credible scientists have shown in a study that, "Social distancing measures may be necessary until 2022 to contain coronavirus pandemic." Okay, there is a middle ground here somewhere and I'll bet the scientific community is more willing to negotiate than are Trump and his minions. Here are the findings...

"In the study, published in the journal Science Tuesday, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health researchers projected that several smaller outbreaks of COVID-19 could follow the more severe pandemic.

"They determined that prolonged periods of social distancing may be necessary in order to control transmission and prevent health care facilities from becoming overwhelmed."

Good illustration of COVID-19 SPREAD...

Obviously it will require a widespread educational program that Donald Trump is no doubt incapable of handling but could be implemented by those in healthcare who know what they are doing. Dr. Anthony Fauci would not be the right leader as long as he is under the thumb of T-rump. Scientists should form their own group like the Democratic governors have done to do their own thing, refusing to let Donald Trump interfere.

This is the case from the right, which you have to understand has no concern for the average American's health but is thinking only of starting up a lagging economy for just one reason, to win the November election...

"President Donald Trump is itching to reopen the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. And congressional Republicans are mostly giving him the green light — and in some cases, leaning on him to speed up.

"As Trump alternately agonizes over when to push states to reopen and browbeats governors with questionable claims of his superior authority, GOP lawmakers are urging federal guidance that quickly restarts some industries and begins to roll back unprecedented closures of vast swaths of the United States."

There are 24 states with Democratic governors and considering the recent "mutiny," as Trump described it, they plan to do the right thing with their states no matter what the White House maniac says. Naturally, the good guys, and gals, are rooting for the scientists and the governors.
