And letting the economy collapse by not passing any more recovery funding, also too.

It sounds ghoulish and impossible, except for how that's exactly what they did in 2008, when Obama was elected and suddenly the lame duck decided levels of funding they were fine with when it might help Bush and McCain were suddenly overboard.

You're both right. It's supposed to apply for people who provide essential services, which VPOTUS most definitely isn't.

And on top of that, actual essential workers are not exempt from quarantine rules; that category justifies them being out and about and putting themselves at risk when the public at large is staying in, but it in no way justifies them putting others at risk.

Is that a shmoo? My years in a yeast lab mean they seem vaguely obscene now.

Oh, pretty soon we'll be fighting the War on Christmas again, don't forget. Somehow they always claim to be *losing* that one, despite starting earlier and earlier.

Even Hoover didn't literally infect people with financial collapse.

I was ready to declare Dubya the worst president ever but my historian brother pointed out Buchanan.

Point taken.

But Trump is worse than Buchanan by leaps and miles and versts.

But Dubya was amazingly bad.

Just chuckled more, a bit.
