Every industry has it's share of partisan hacks I guess.

Trump allies lining up doctors to prescribe rapid reopening

A resurgent economy is seen as critical to boosting President Donald Trump’s reelection hopes and has become a growing focus of the White House coronavirus task force led by Vice President Mike Pence.

The plan was discussed in a May 11 conference call with a senior staffer for the Trump reelection campaign organized by CNP Action, an affiliate of the GOP-aligned Council for National Policy. A leaked recording of the hourlong call was provided to The Associated Press by the Center for Media and Democracy, a progressive watchdog group.

CNP Action is part of the Save Our Country Coalition, an alliance of conservative think tanks and political committees formed in late April to end state lockdowns implemented in response to the pandemic. Other members of the coalition include the FreedomWorks Foundation, the American Legislative Exchange Council and Tea Party Patriots.

I prefer to look elsewhere for a grasp of the situation

May 21, 2020, 1:19 PM

Last place I'd look is to the White House, or politicians. Especially in the US. All you need to do is look elsewhere. Most of the rest of the planet is not like us. They don't have our media, our politics, or even our issues. They have their own, certainly, but they're different from our own. But everywhere on Earth it's the virus versus the economy. That is a constant theme, no matter the country, government, or politics. Trick is to see which countries are handling the virus the best, and examine their politics, and what that allows them to do, or not do. There's a trend with countries led by those who downplay, mitigate, and flat out deny the danger of the virus. It's not the trend you want to be on. It's Brasil, whose President is a clone of Trump, as is their policy. You have Russia, getting hit most likely harder than us. They tried to hide it until they couldn't. You have Spain and Italy leading Europe in their dismal response. Take a look at why.

Belgium is perhaps the hardest hit European country, depending on how you look at it. But when their leadership visited a hospital, the motorcade was greeted with a line of medical staff with their backs turned. Now did the virus happen to be worse there causing them to turn their backs, or was the virus worse there BECAUSE they turned their backs? Hummm....I'd argue the latter.

Then take a look at countries like Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, etc. What are they doing different? By handling the virus, they've maximized the befit and minimized the damage to their economies relative to others. The broad answer is it takes a team, with everyone on the same page, to tackle this virus most effectively. If everyone isn't on the same page, if a unified response doesn't happen, the virus wins.

The CDC is trying to do what Australia, South Korea, China (maybe), New Zealand, and others have done. Without quality leadership, you don't play as a team. The only team players in Washington are the ones in the white house who are on trump's team. And the other team are the democrats. STILL. And this virus will exploit that lack of team effort and pick us apart.

And this isn't an attack on Trump, or Pelosi and democrats. I'm attacking us for even taking sides in a non-issue. We the people have elected poor leadership for decades now. Both parties. We have only ourselves to blame. We'd be better served if 535 totally random Americans cycled in and out each election cycle.

So a politician selected people with a similar view

Yeah, but...this is still pretty amusing. 500 doctors write

Re: Yeah, but...this is still pretty amusing. 500 doctors write

Sure. It's part of the game. Those doctors and their letter

Re: Sure. It's part of the game. Those doctors and their letter

I personally know 3 doctors that feel the same way

This appears difficult for you to understand. Nobody in this

I think you are insuating they are lying in their letter

I most certainly did not insinuate that anywhere.***

I even googled a few of them. They're real. One is a

There's probably some merit to it, but let's not pretend

Somewhere in between Trump wanting to go back to normal and
