Somebody is doging his respnsiblity there, to no getting connected to the things going wrong and tos threatening his reelection chances. After the to-be-expected death number recently was risen by the WH to 100,000, then I think 130,000, and after Trump snapped for the world not understanding his desinfecting sarcasm, he gets wet feet and leaves the governors to face the blame.

[MaDef]

Tyrant may be a bit strong, but those three have definitely exceeded their authority in regards to the U.S. Constitution.

Makes one fear to win the Super jackpot in Euromillions.

One would become filthy rich and we know they are accused for everything.

And about time. Full marks go to Gen. Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell who pushed back against Mueller's gang of thugs. It's a good day.

Oh yeah, what a great day it is to find out Trump picked a Republican fund raiser to head the Post Office! Has no clue how to run a department like that, so should be great news for the employee's who are about to get screwed over by that POS in the White House. Heard one of his attendants has tested positive for Covid-19, hope Trump gets a full blown case of it, that would really make my day!

If the same goes in your country as it does here in Denmark or Sweden, those people will get top job, maybe become a minister in a future government.

We have had authorities who have done a miserable job...got fired with a huge bag of money...later they got a new job as another authorities
We have had politicians who have done dreadful wrong things, had to resign and got elected and picked by the primeminister.

So I guess the same will happens in your country

Apparently no one can run the Post Office or Amtrak, and turn a profit. Or that the very least break even.

It would take a successful armed revolt for there to even be a chance that those vermin are punished. Most of them would flee faster than a Nazi heading for Argentina.

That certainly is a possibility Markus, if for no other reason that the clock is ticking. If Durham hasn't made indictments by November, and the Democrats win the presidency all this will get buried.

Prolonging the Shutdown Defies Science and the US Constitution

Across the nation, protesters are taking to the streets and business owners are filing lawsuits objecting to the coronavirus shutdown rules. As the rules drag on, they're causing job losses, bankruptcies and a feeling that people have no rights. The liberal media are labeling the protesters "virus deniers." Don't fall for that. The protesters have science and the U.S. Constitution on their side.

Not to mention common sense. As New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday: "This is not a sustainable situation. Close down everything, close down the economy, lock yourself in the house."

Start with the science. Data show almost all the coronavirus fatalities are among the elderly and those with serious health problems. A staggering 68% of deaths in Pennsylvania have been nursing home residents. Shutting stores and restaurants didn't save them.

A lockdown targeted to protecting the highest risk group -- people 65 and over -- instead of confining all age groups would slash deaths by half but at only half the economic cost of a total shutdown, according to new National Bureau of Economic Research findings.

Unfortunately, social media companies are censoring any science that challenges the shutdown. When two California doctors who run urgent care centers challenged the need for California's shutdown, based on what they see at their clinics, YouTube removed their statements, saying the platform's policy is to ban content that "disputes the efficacy of local health authority recommended guidance."

Shame on YouTube and its parent company, Google. YouTube also censor views at odds with the World Health Organization, which helped get us into this mess.

Remember that just a few weeks ago, shutting down schools and businesses was justified to "flatten the curve," meaning buying time for hospitals to add beds and gather enough ventilators, masks and other medical equipment.

The shutdown's goal was not eradicating the virus. That's not possible. The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, as well as other experts, predict the virus will last another 18 to 24 months, fading once most Americans have been exposed and developed immunity.
