Former director of the CDC is calling for an investigation into coronavirus testing failures: 'Something went wrong'

The GOP is guilty of far more than superficiality - a conspiracy to influence the 2016 election by colluding with multiple foreign powers, entities, and agents there of. This is the most explosive political scandal in US history. We've not done well with scandals since Watergate
@FeistyLibLady
Flaws were:
anti vaccines
anti pandemic containment controls (masking, distancing, avoiding crowds)
widespread misinformation
GOP political arguments in 2016, 2020 and 2024 based largely on disinformation

Congrats, you nailed Sexton for ~$40K/year worth of per diems fraud; and 3 years of electoral fraud.
I wonder how a supermajority of Republicans squares with TN law?
The CDC decision to use their own primers rather than the millions of WHO test kits strikes me as profit motivated & proprietary. The fact that at least one of 3 primer pairs failed in the kits the CDC sent suggests a rushed careless job. Last, Trump's lies provided false cover.

Proud Boys founded in 2016, developed and earned their spurs in the violent scrimages playing out at Trump rallies beginning with the University of Illinois Chicago rally in March, so violent it cancelled the Trump event continuing throughout the primary and general campaigns.

We have a Supreme Court justice who's had to lie about his past for 2 years to evade accountability. We have an occupant in the WH who's done the same but far longer.

What is stopping Nunes from releasing it now? Democrats? The FBI? Why doesn't Nunes release it. Because it's the build up.
It was written by GOP staffers and it's basically the same story the GOP ran 2 months ago when the GOP attacked the FBI and Mueller in defense of Trump.
Tweets by Blackburn got her in trouble with the lawyers for the whistleblower and for Vindman, who want Blackburn removed from the Senate whistlelowers caucus

Seems to me the PBs formed & developed in coordination with the Trump campaign from the very beginning. Their participation in the 2017 unite the right rally with its German Nazi rally symbolism, chants and lethal conflict allowed by Charlottesville police was praised by Trump.

@MichaelCohen212
Has Trump paid HRC the $1M for wasting the court's time? He's suing Cohen $500M. For that much he must figure Cohen stands in the way of his return to power. Except Trump never did have much of a sense of proportionality
If Cohen's a bad witness, what kind of defendent is Trump?

Arresting them will be faster than expelling them.
Expelling them would mean all 222 Democrats + 66 Republicans vote to do so. That's not likely.
OTOH, both Boebert and Greene appear to have already committed felonies and disrupted the peace for which they can be arrested.

There's a disagreement between J6C & Riggleman over which of the many conspiratorial interactions and relationships to promote.
Riggleman feels J6C is reluctant to examine some connections & J6C largely dismissed his complaint as someone no longer in the loop.
Also book sales.

This Heritage Foundation witness is blatantly giving misinformation. The unlocked door came and went as the cause of how the shooter entered the school.

Ivanka could be in legal hot water for laundering money at Panama City and Baku. Now add the Bank of Dubai subpoena of $100 million of Ivanka's diamond encrusted jewelry, suspected of being hidden assets from the bank. The Trumps cheat the system at every opportunity.

The bombs sent to Democrats are being compared to the anthrax letters, not 911. The media isn't getting it wrong, you are and every time too.

The police & the armed forces won't save Trump. Trump can't even get the military out of Syria in spite of a direct order. The officers corp & rank and file are aware his behavior is that of a WH occupant with misplaced loyalties. I'd say the white militias are the chief threat.

With respect to Biden voters in diners, you're likely not to find profiles of them because they're most likely to be observing pandemic containment.

She's done nothing wrong to resign for. As far as I can tell, there wasn't any anti-semetic remarks made by her, just ones critical of Israel. Israel isn't a Jew, it's a country. Trump correctly senses that he can exploit this nonsense with the blessing of the DEM leadership.

The phone used in Kashoggi's murder with Israeli spyware in it belonged to who?
TFG was disinterested in the details of khashoggi's murder, and in particular those responsible. Perhaps that disinterest went wider to cover another TFG ally.
@ReportsDaNews
Best news I've heard all day. NYPD Union in particular and police unions in general are bastians of the right-wing sentiment.
Something to do with right-wing militias or 1/6?
@tribelaw
Notice the police are not concerned about the protester reaching into an inside pocket like the US police are. Here reaching into an inside pocket could get you shot. Why? Because our society is a wash in guns legal, illegal and ghost, and our police are criminally protected.

1. Epstein moved to remote cell block

@DrOz
Oz may reach the point as Romney embarrassingly did of not knowing how many homes he owns.
Likewise, he suports the Turkish oppression of a US ally, the Kurds as Trump did - courageous fighters in urban warfare that did the heavy lifting against the Islamic State.

@sarahkendzior
The GOP may not survive Trump. It barely survived the Bush admin & astroturfed new blood which ultimately --> Trump. The GOP's a minority party dependent on whites, gerrymandering, voter suppression, fake hysteria, fake news & outside help (SCOTUS 2000; Russia, etc 2016).

Consciousness of guilt led Jordan to lie. The issue is why didn't Jordan do something after HIS wrestlers told him about the doctor. If true, that's devastating and opponents will pin Jordan to the mat over an enormous moral failing.

That depends. First, if you terminate, it won't go into effect for 6 months. Second, since Congress established NAFTA legislatively, they would also have to sign on. You terminate and it will go to court. Wanna play ball, seal?
A new political ad on Highway 198 and 7th Avenue in Hanford is turning heads for those heading into Rep. Devin Nunes' district. The billboard reads: "Devin Nunes: fake farmer, real manure" and is paid for by a liberal, Washington, DC-based PAC.
@AmoneyResists
They're voting symbolically to deny a DEM victory. They can't filibuster in the Senate because reconciliation bills can't be filibustered. They're unable to get the votes to stop it in the House.
So they're left trying to hurt the DEMs by hurting the country. Both will fail.

Seems the GOP does not want to go on record as filibustering the bipartisan infrastructure bill. They've had plenty of time to put the things together that they want to wait for until next Monday. They say they have 11 votes for cloture. Are these trustworthy bargaining partners?
@ConfessionsExMu
I support Palestinian rights & a two state solution bc I think a great injustice has been done to Palestinians when Europe gave Palestine to Israel & since. Israel also deserves peace & security. Obama referred to the 1967 border as the LEGAL intl basis for peace. He was right.

According to PressSec SHS, Trump's tweets are policy. This isn't the first time tweets were ignored. OTOH, there's no way Sessions is falling on the petard meant for Trump's head. Sessions will resign rather than obstruct. Trump lacks the courage of his conviction. Pun intended.

You took healthcare away from WVAs for the sake of tax cuts for the 0.1% and deregulated so it's safe to pollute WVA's waterways. Clean coal, where are the new clean coal jobs in WVA or anywhere?

He wasn't acquitted on the basis of protecting his family. The judge dropping the illegal gun charges used in killing of 2 people allowed Rittenhouse to skate.
I always wondered whether prosecutors checked for communications between Rittenhouse in Antioch IL and Kenosha WI.
CDC issued its first SARS CoV 2/COVID-19 warning on Dec 8. The WHO kit is bought from a German company and is now being imported but was available on Dec 8. There are multiple kits in use. The good news is testing is increase. The bad news is what it will likely show.
CDC reported 3,487 test confirmed cases as of 3-16-20. Of those, 205 were travel related; 214 from 'close contact' & 3068 from unknown causes. Given the length of time the virus percolated unknown (Nov) or ignored, the virus largely blended symptomatically with the flu early on.

@AOC
So you were merely noting AOC's "silence" on the bombings in Sri Lanka & hoping to contrast that with the Clintons? Or AOC's defense of US Rep Omar? I mean this sincerely: you're good at what you do but you're one of the worst things to happen to freedom since the Civil War.

Unfortunately for Tarrio, he didn't avail himself of the opportunity pre trial and pre conviction. What evidence he may claim to have would have to meet DOJ's satisfaction as it would have in any event.

Rather than publicize it for sympathy, Collins should turn the threats over to the FBI. Otherwise it could be just another public relations stunt like her morality minuets are.
