Playing with other people's money is OK but Trump prefers to play with other people's lives.

"...and stressed that the guidelines should not supplant the judgment of local officials."

Well, thank the Lord. Last thing we want is the CDC stepping on County Commissioner Bubba's toes. If there's anything that requires a local grassroots touch, it's BASIC HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY.

Goddamn I hate everyone right now.

We might as well close the CDC down until Biden's president.

I belive he'll say either they died from flu vaccine, or this culling of useless immigrant children was a great success.

Poor Dr. Fauci- he has a "Sophie"s Choice"- tell the truth get fired and be unable to continue your world-saving work, or lie for Trump continue your work but can't tell anyone.

OMG- Is Andrew Cuomo still able to speak covid truth?

So much for Redfield and the CDC. From the world's leader to pariah in a few months.

Trudeau may be the first world leader to be unable to find time to deal with the US. But he won't be the last, and we won't have to wait long to see who's next.

What did you expect? Trump has installed toadies in every agency, and anyone showing competence or integrity has either been forced out or has resigned in disgust.

This is the shitshow it is precisely because the Trump administration's incompetence never got the outbreak under control. Ask anyone who has ever been responsible for a classroom what will happen to "social distancing" rules in practice.
