that is true, even as he includes himself in a rhetorical “we”
Trump’s opponents are enraged by yet another assault on the truth and basic human decency. His followers are delighted by yet more vulgar attacks on the media and the Democrats. And all of us, angry or pleased, become more like Trump, because just like the president, we end up thinking about only Trump, instead of our families, our fellow citizens, our health-care workers
Please, please do.
Nomenclature, people!
Disease: COVID-TRUMP
Virus: SARS-CoV-TRUMP
When referring to the overall pandemic, comprising the virus, the disease, and our handling thereof, we should use COVFEFE-19.
Dude’s pretty cool sometimes.
If this all turns out to have started with aliens or a “special” child…
Not exactly; she likened Trump supporters to goldfish, suggesting that their short attention spans will make them forget all his early statements about the virus. To the extent that’s true, it is worse.
Something more positive:
One senior Labour source said: “I don’t think this government wants parliament to return as it will allow MPs to focus on ways they are messing things up. That’s why they like daily press conferences. They give them a chance to control everything.”
Following up;
Note the lack of an actual apology in that statement. 
Not really keeping up with UK politics these days (who the hell is Keir Starmar?), but she sounds like one nasty piece of work.
Keir Starmar is Jeremy Corbyn’s replacement as Labour Party leader. Priti Patel is a bitch.
Start with “nasty piece of work” and work downwards. She is nasty even for a Tory Home Secretary.
Not that any of this should come as a surprise.
On Saturday, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a foreign policy hardliner, wrote on Twitter: “Since I first learned of the Wuhan coronavirus in mid-January, common sense has been my guide.
“Not Chinese communist lies. Not ‘the models’. Not so-called ‘public-health experts’. Just common sense. Many elected leaders have also been guided by common sense. Others haven’t.”
The thing about evil republican racists right now is that all their public flouncing about China only further diminishes the standing of the US internationally.
Oh, she is and she has some stiff competition in that regard.
Wonder what his common sense tells him about the preponderance of ACE2 receptor sites in the lower lungs, relative to those of the upper respiratory tract.
Yeah, he really, though seemingly inadvertently, nails the difference between common sense and expertise: expertise tells you how to treat a virus and respond to a pandemic; common sense tells you to trust the experts.
What’s great is that if Putin eventually owns Italy the Syrian war will likely be shuttered. Russia would have Mediterranean ports galore.
This article doesn’t mince words…
