Joe Biden: "No American should have to wait a single minute so Donald Trump can put his signature on a physical check." pic.twitter.com/v88AQeFeuE— The Hill (@thehill) April 3, 2020
We watched Steven Mnuchin talk about this very subject yesterday afternoon (probably in the middle of dementia Joe's nap time). Every American who has provided the Government with direct deposit (though tax returns or other manners) will get a direct deposit. There are also websites to go in order to provide this if they currently do not have it. Those who would like a prepaid debit card can get one mailed to them. Only as a last resort is there a physical check involved, and nobody nowhere nohow has suggested that Donald Trump will be signing them personally.
Moreover dementia Joe goes on making up shit about how Trump is preventing an inspector general to oversee the funds that have not even started going out to anyone yet. Since there is no process in place, there is nobody overseeing anything to be prevented from doing so. Nor has Trump made any statements or provided any speculation that he plans on interfering in any way (even if he could).
Meanwhile Biden lists off a bunch of things that he says "Democrats want" that have already been agreed upon and was passed in the Senate 100-0 and by unanimous voice vote in the House.
Either this is the most misinformed Presidential Candidate in modern history, the guy is dumber than a box of rocks, or he assumes the American public is dumber than a box of rocks and is blatantly lying to them. Either way Democrats would be well advised not to let him be heading up their Party in 2020. He's a complete disaster.

what the DNC is doing to Biden constitutes elder abuse.
and the fact that his family allows it to continue is chilling.
It's getting harder and harder to imagine that Biden will be the eventual Democrat nominee. A place holder for Hillary? For sure it won't be Sanders.
It gets harder and harder to believe trump will win re election with forecasted unemployment to be in the 12% range in November......!!!!!!
Sure Denny....
Because the American public is going to blame Trump for that?
Because the American public is going to blame Trump for that?
a nation stupid enough to elect 0linsky not once but twice is stupid enough to believe democrats when they blame trump.
if the 0linsky administration taught me one thing it's to NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the American electorate.
Best meme of the day...
While everyone is staying home, why doesn't someone fix the damn roads.

"COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions."

According to RealClearPolitics, Biden leads Trump in every single General Election poll taken during the entire month of March. And that might be true too for January and February. Y'all can look for yourselves.
Fauci Sidelined at Last Minute
April 3, 2020 at 5:50 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 126 Comments
A source familiar told CNN there was a last minute decision to exclude Dr. Anthony Fauci from today’s coronavirus briefing at the White House.

Wonder why?
How to Live with Coronavirus
April 3, 2020 at 5:39 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 98 Comments
Andrew Sullivan:
“The goal is not to ‘beat’ the virus, because it can’t be beaten. Now that it’s a pandemic, it’s here to stay. The goal is not to fight it, or wage war on it. COVID-19 is not a rival military. The goal is to find the optimal path to living with it.
“I want Anthony Fauci making that decision. Right now, as complete a shutdown as possible is the only sane option. And going forward, we should always lean on the side of the preservation of life rather than the maximization of wealth. Every life counts. And if we make that collective pro-life decision — and, mercifully, we are — we are also saying something quite profound about who we are as Americans. We are saying that the lives of the elderly, and the poor, and the vulnerable matter more, when all is said and done, than our GDP. I cannot see how such a society can go forward after such an experience without instituting the kind of universal health care that these values represent.
“It’s hard to go through such ordeals without wanting them to mean something. Out of AIDS came marriage equality, a permanent shift in the relationship between gays and society. Out of this plague, let us erect in its memory another fitting monument that will never age, crumble, or pass away: health care for all.”

The GOP had better give up the Trump fantasy of destroying Obamacare just because it isn't called Trumpcare.
Georgia Beaches Reopen

“Some of the state’s most popular beaches will be allowed to reopen Friday night due to Gov. Brian Kemp’s (R) statewide order superseding that of some city-level shelter-in-place mandates,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
“Georgia beach communities, including Tybee Island, had closed in response to local mandates imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19.”

I agree 100 %.
It might be because so many Americans are unaware of how their meat , milk and grains get to market.
a timeless classic:
One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. It is not an accident that China is committed to overtaking us in electric cars, solar power, energy efficiency, batteries, nuclear power and wind power. China’s leaders understand that in a world of exploding populations and rising emerging-market middle classes, demand for clean power and energy efficiency is going to soar. Beijing wants to make sure that it owns that industry and is ordering the policies to do that, including boosting gasoline prices, from the top down.

A certainly interesting opinion from a gifted writer, asshole......Why aren't your views published in a major network???? I am sure you searched high and low to make that point....too bad you don't spend that kind of effort actually thinking on your own!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

It might be because so many Americans are unaware of how their meat , milk and grains get to market.
what do you mean GET to market?
your modern day enlightened liberal will tell you that all food originates IN the supermarket.
pre-packaged.
perfectly arranged.
under gleaming LED "green" lighting.
just bring your own germ/virus -laden reusable shopping bag with the NPR logo on the side.
but look at the bright side -
all those empty supermarket shelves are giving us a glimpse into bernie and AOC's socialist utopian future. ain't it grand?
we may look back on this idiocracy and realize that those dying of coronavirus turned out to be the lucky ones.
So there you have it. If only America could drop its inefficient and antiquated system, designed in the age before globalization and modernity and, most damning of all, before the lantern of Thomas Friedman’s intellect illuminated the land. If only enlightened experts could do the hard and necessary things that the new age requires, if only we could rely on these planners to set the ship of state right. Now, of course, there are “drawbacks” to such a system: crushing of dissidents with tanks, state control of reproduction, government control of the press and the internet. Omelets and broken eggs, as they say. More to the point, Friedman insists, these “drawbacks” pale in comparison to the system we have today here in America.
I cannot begin to tell you how this is exactly the argument that was made by American fans of Mussolini in the 1920s. It is exactly the argument that was made in defense of Stalin and Lenin before him (it’s the argument that idiotic, dictator-envying leftists make in defense of Castro and Chavez today). It was the argument made by George Bernard Shaw who yearned for a strong progressive autocracy under a Mussolini, a Hitler or a Stalin (he wasn’t picky in this regard). This is the argument for an “economic dictatorship” pushed by Stuart Chase and the New Dealers. It’s the dream of Herbert Croly and a great many of the Progressives.
I have no idea why I still have the capacity to be shocked by such things. A few years ago, during the worst part of the Iraq war, I wrote a column saying that Iraq needed a Pinochet type to bring order to Iraq and help develop democratic and liberal institutions. To this day, I get vicious hate mail from liberal and leftist readers for my “pro-dictator” stance. Meanwhile, Thomas Friedman, golden boy of the NYT op-ed page, is writing love-letters to dictatorships because they have the foresight to invest in electric batteries and waterless toilets or something. It looks like there’s reason to hope I was wrong about Iraq (I certainly hope I was). But at least I favored a dictatorship of sorts — for another country! – because I thought it would lead to a liberal democracy. Here, Friedman lives in a liberal democracy but has his nose pressed up against the candy store window of a cruel, undemocratic, regime and all he can do is drool over the prospect of having the same power here. It’s disgusting.

It doesn't, farmers will need to go back to work. The first thing that will happen is shortages in fresh produce, dairy, and eggs.
Then can products and process foods.

the self-aware socialist central planners are probably concerned today. we're getting a preview on a grand scale of what life would be like under their rule.

Well Rat we now know what priority upstate New York is with Cuomo. He's stripping all of your ventilators out of the hospital for New York city.
indeed he is. with the NG. and he's instructing those responsible not to use the word seize. he's also told the folks he's taking them from "you may get them back, you may not. if you don't, the state may pay you for them, or they may not."
and that's not all. the dumb fuck is actually shipping virus patients to upstate hospitals. perhaps to "spread the wealth around" as 0linsky was fond of saying.
if the guy had the intellect to match his arrogance and condescension, he'd send non-corona cases to upstate and import the corona cases from across upstate to NYC hospitals to isolate the pandemic in one place.
cuomo's finest moments these days are when he goes on cnn to yuck it up with his asshole brother fredo.
We continue to hope.
yeah, for more and more deaths.

Trump Says He Will Fire Intelligence Watchdog

“President Trump notified Congress Friday evening that he intends in 30 days to fire the inspector general of the intelligence community, who alerted lawmakers to a whistleblower complaint last September that was at the center of allegations that led to the president’s impeachment,” the Washington Post reports.
“The bombshell move to remove Michael Atkinson comes as the administration is struggling to cope with a coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 3,000 Americans.
“Trump has blamed Atkinson repeatedly for letting the complaint get to Congress and letting the impeachment unfold… He has weighed removing him for months, but has been periodically talked out of it.”
And rat holes finest moments is when he is complaining it is someone elses fault while refusing to accept a single thing on his own....What a fucking asshole!!!! Funny....he thinks Jared is a leader instead of trumps daughters dick......BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

All the while letting trump do nothing to quell the crisis but lie!!!!!!
Doug Mills/The New York Times
C.D.C. says all Americans should wear masks. Trump says the rule is voluntary.
In the daily coronavirus briefing Friday President Trump said that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention was urging all Americans to wear a mask when they leave their homes, but he immediately undercut the message by repeatedly calling the recommendation voluntary and saying that he would not wear one himself.
“With the masks, it is going to be a voluntary thing,” the president said at the beginning of the briefing at the White House. “You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I am choosing not to do it. It may be good. It is only a recommendation, voluntary.”
“Wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens — I don’t know,” he added, though he stopped receiving foreign dignitaries weeks ago. “Somehow, I just don’t see it for myself.”
Mr. Trump’s announcement, followed by his quick dismissal, was a remarkable public display of the intense debate that has played out inside the West Wing over the past several days as a divided administration argued about whether to request such a drastic change in Americans’ social behavior.
And it came at a particularly contentious briefing where the president insulted reporters, jousted with his own administration and returned to pugilistic form.*
Mr. Trump again dismissed the recommendation of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, for a national stay-at-home order,** saying he would leave such demands to the governors. But he did say that the federal government would pay hospitals to treat coronavirus patients, instead of allowing people to buy heavily subsidized insurance on the Affordable Care Act’s insurance exchanges, as many Democrats have urged.
The mask debate has played out in public and in private. Mr. Trump said Americans who choose to comply with the C.D.C.’s recommendation should use a basic cloth or face mask, not medical- or surgical-grade masks that are used by hospital workers and emergency workers. He also said people must still follow social distancing guidelines, which he called the “safest way to avoid the infection.”
Senior officials at the C.D.C. have been pushing the president for days to advise everyone — even people who appear to be healthy — to wear a mask or a scarf that covers their mouth and nose when shopping at the grocery store or while in other public places.
_________
* His new more humble nice guy act didn't last long.
**Is that why Dr. Fauci was not present for the briefing?
Is he about to be fired too?
Don't bother to do what the CDC or Dr. Fauci are advising,
Trump is saying.
U.S. Beset by Denial and Dysfunction as Virus Raged
April 4, 2020 at 9:40 am EDT By Taegan Goddard 19 Comments
“By the time Donald Trump proclaimed himself a wartime president — and the coronavirus the enemy — the United States was already on course to see more of its people die than in the wars of Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined,” the Washington Post reports.
“The country has adopted an array of wartime measures never employed collectively in U.S. history — banning incoming travelers from two continents, bringing commerce to a near-halt, enlisting industry to make emergency medical gear, and confining 230 million Americans to their homes in a desperate bid to survive an attack by an unseen adversary.
“Despite these and other extreme steps, the United States will likely go down as the country that was supposedly best prepared to fight a pandemic but ended up catastrophically overmatched by the novel coronavirus, sustaining heavier casualties than any other nation.”
___________
I find that hard to believe and hope it does not prove true.
James, you own how many masks?
Do you wear one?
Well Reverend!
So Andrew Sullivan is your world renown epidemiologist medical expert who you are now taking advice from?
Doug Mills/The New York Times
Doug Mills should pay attention. Trump and the task force have been talking about scarves or a non-medical version of a mask for probably the last week or so.
Dr Birx has gone back on forth with the concept of recommending masks because they are afraid that non-essential citizens would use up the medical masks needed for medical professionals and first responders... and because they believe that people would relax their social distancing.
The idea has been to recommend some sort of cloth mask or scarf which has been a consistent message.
Tired of these asswipes criticizing the task force for not doing things that they are actually doing.
CHtruth says
Well Reverend!
So Andrew Sullivan is your world renown epidemiologist medical expert who you are now taking advice from?
___________
No, but I take advice from the same world renowned epidemiolgist medical expert whom Sullivan takes advice from, namely Dr. Fauci, who is now willing to stand up to Trump and insist on the criteria of objective scientific medical evidence, despite what the President says.
Sullivan makes that clear in the April 3, 9:35PM post above.
Thanks for calling attention to it!
And by the way, why wasn't Fauci present at the last briefing?
Is Trump about to "fire" him for telling the truth?
Who do you think put Fauci on the Task Force, Reverend?
Was it the Administration that appointed him and Birx to lead the medical side of the task force or was it Andrew Sullivan who had the wisdom to do so?
This is just the latest dishonest media "spin" that people like you fall for... and Fauci has pushed back on the idea that there is a problem between the two of them and has repeatedly praised the President.
When you praise Fauci... you praise the wisdom of having him lead the Task Force.
CHT, you are flying at 30,000 feet over the head of poor maskless James.
Note how pro-lfe James has become.
you praise the wisdom of having him lead the Task Force.
That Lil Schitty is knee slapping hysterical!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! YOU WILL SAY ANYTHING TO MAKE TRUMP YOUR SAVIOR..... Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.....he also has Kushner on the team and that fucking twerp has no business doing anything asshole!!!
CH TRUTH SAID:

You have called me a hypocrite,

See the article in the next thread up that I posted in response to your thread article, and give us a non-hypocritical answer.
yet you yourself praised Fauci HIGHLY, but you do NOT criticize Trump for pushing back against Dr. Fauci and forcing Dr. Fauci to push back against him.
You continue to ignore the reality that the only thing Dr Fauci pushes back on is the notion that there is tension between him and the President. You also continue to ignore that Dr Fauci has repeatedly praised the President's leadership.
Fauci has literally called out the media for trying to make mountains out of molehills and trying to push the conspiracy that Trump doesn't want to listen to him.
Oh... and so far, on every call... the President has followed the advice of Fauci and Birx.
Because those are the people HIS ADMINISTRATION put in charge!!
So here is the reality Reverend.
I will ignore EVERY SINGLE MEDIA REPORT that does not specifically include an actual verbal quote from Fauci demanding that there is a riff between him and the President!
So waste your time if you like... it just your time cutting and pasting!
Bingo
I'm not really disagreeing with the President, Fauci diplomatically says, and then he goes on to really disagree with him.
No, not a direct quote. But that's the real gist of it.
Top Sanders Advisers Urge Him to Drop Bid

“A small group of Bernie Sanders’s top aides and allies — including his campaign manager and his longtime strategist — have encouraged the independent senator from Vermont to consider withdrawing from the presidential race,” the Washington Post reports.
“Sanders himself has become more open to the prospect of dropping out, especially if he suffers a significant defeat in Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary, which polls suggest Joe Biden will win handily.”
