OK, maybe not frozen. But sure is a little frosty. GOP Senators and I agreeing on something just doesn’t happen very often.

OK. I get it. The parties involved don’t like each other very much. They disagree on most everything. BUT, is this not the time for the WH, GOP AND Democratic leaders to sit down and come up with the best way forward to protect the economy and, more importantly, the citizens of this country?

Now he’s worried a reporter will contract the virus, get on Air Force One and infect him. SMH.

My advice to Mr. Trump would be to stop talking about it, let Dr. Fauci take control of the situation and truly help to calm the fears. If he followed the examples of Governors Inslee and Norhtam, he would not be in this situation.

All, of course, IMHO.

…there was a legitimate GOP challenger to Trump. Maybe his campaign would have something better to do than file extremely difficult to prove libel suits against media outlets.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/486243-trump-says-he-last-spoke-to-obama-at-bush-funeral-i-said-hello-and

It’s fine that Trump’s only interaction since transition was at Bush’s funeral and it was “hello” and “Good Bye.” But there is a book I would recommend to anyone who hasn’t read it yet.

After promising to NOT cut entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare, during his town hall on Fox, he said just the opposite. Another promise made and NOT kept.

So the Trump campaign (and the RNC) is using the word CENSUS on forms that are actually surveys at the same time the ACTUAL Census is about to begin. Sounds like something out of a Russian disinformation campaign.

For those that believe in science, this is the key takeaway (IMHO) …”virologists who’ve parsed the genome and infectious disease experts who study coronaviruses say they have enough evidence the virus is brand new and came from nature. A large group of them, citing genome analyses from multiple countries, recently affirmed in The Lancet that the virus originated in wildlife.

For those who believe in straight conspiracy theories, well, there isn’t a lot anyone could say to change your minds.

Could these tweets be used as evidence of obstruction of justice by Mr. Trump to be charged after he is out of office? It appears so, based on what is said in the VOX piece. It appears to be a valid theory.

Virginia turnout yesterday set records, according to the reporting. The percentages were still abysmal, (Hampton Roads ranging from 19% in VB to 34% in Williamsburg) but much higher than the last two primaries.

Democratic enthusiasm remains high in the Old Dominion. It will be interesting to see how it plays out come November.
