So, as a avid trump supporter I put it to you that political humor page on reddit lied when they said 3 months. So, basically there are liars on both sides.

3 months for a EO for PPE. That he even had to make and EO for PPE is stupid in the first place.

He took action 10 days after their first positive patient.

Ok, that is the clarity that is needed. It made it sound like the federal government didn't order additional PPE for 3 months which is clearly absurd.

He had to make an EO because the ability to requisition manufacturing is a specific wartime executive power, and the delay in the EO was creating nightmares for States and hospitals trying to secure PPE in the free market.

Trump’s ‘Horrifying Lies’ About Lori Klausutis May Cross a Legal Line


The president’s innuendo about the death of a congressional staffer in 2001 could lead to a costly court judgment against him.

By Peter H. Schuck

Mr. Schuck is an emeritus professor of law at Yale and Darling Foundation visiting professor at the University of California, Berkeley, this semester.

President Trump and his minions relentlessly grind out despicable acts — gratuitous insults to war heroes, over 18,000 (and counting) false or misleading statements, many decisions courts have ruled illegal. But Mr. Trump’s wantonly cruel tweets about the tragic death in 2001 of Lori Klausutis are distinctive: They may constitute intentional torts for which a civil jury could award punitive damages against him.

Here are the key facts. Ms. Klausutis, age 28, died in the Florida district office of a Republican congressman, Joe Scarborough, who was then in Washington. The police found no evidence of foul play and the coroner reported that the cause of death was a hard fall against a hard object precipitated by her floppy mitral valve disease.

That should have been the end of the story, but earlier this week the president tweeted to his 80 million followers that “some people think” that Mr. Scarborough, now a popular MSNBC news host who frequently criticizes Mr. Trump, “g[o]t away with murder,” calling Mr. Scarborough a “psycho” and a “total Nut job.”

The president has offered no evidence for this slander, because there is none. Last week, Timothy Klausutis, Lori’s widower husband, wrote a remarkably restrained, poignant letter to Jack Dorsey, the head of Twitter, citing the pain that Mr. Trump’s “horrifying lies” about his wife’s death have caused him and the family, and asking Mr. Dorsey to remove Mr. Trump’s tweet. Mr. Dorsey has refused, most likely because the 1996 Communications Decency Act probably protects him from defamation claims for publishing the words of another. However Twitter added a warning label to the president’s false tweets on Tuesday about mail-in ballots, the first time the service has taken such a step.

Ouch, nice one from Biden. In october 2019, Biden was warning of how Trump had gutted the pandemic response preparations of the USA, while Trump was worried about iPhone interfaces.

That's quite good I have to say given that Biden's social media game is still rather terrible. He needs to hire young people to make funny memes although the Left do generally struggle making hilarious memes.
 
Now this is what I worry about...

There are 103 206 dead Americans. Unemployment hit 40 000 000 and those are great depression numbers.

Brad and the campaign are throwing tens of millions at ever media channel, ever.

The needle is moving down.

As the needle moves down on Donnie, it moves down on the Senate races where most Republicans lag behind him anyway.

Mitch will be getting his own polling numbers, and he's nothing if not a political operator. His number one priority is 51 Senate seats... If the trend continues, he'll ignore the toddler in the WH and go all-in on the seats he thinks he can win.

If that looks like it'll get away from him, and the House, and the WH, all that's left is the castle keep.

Judges.

Judges with lifetime appointments.

Republicans will burn down the house and salt the earth with conservative judges.

That's what I worry about.
