It’s 2:08 p.m. – Sat. 3/21/2020 and, the faux prez is wasting everyone’s time by yammering about the media not treating him fairly. Poor little fella! He is a total disgrace to everything American.
Perhaps we will rearrange our national priorities after this crisis.
No link, just a thought about where we are today and should be tomorrow.

Trump takes no responsibility
When things go bad. However, when things go well it is his stable genius that made it happen. The Obama bull market on Wall Street is a prime example of this phenomena. While it continued going up, all Trump’s doings.
Now that ALL the gains have disappeared into the miasma, he had nothing to do with it. I mean, who knew that a pandemic would threaten everything? Nobody, except maybe those Obama-appointed smart asses that Trump got rid of.
For the record the DJIA on January 19, 2017 stood at 19,804.72. At this moment it is at 19,495. Not totally his doing, of course, but his unsteady leadership and government-crippling policies have NOT inspired confidence.
Why is it that every Republican administration seems to end in disaster?
A touch of hope for foodies
Nice listing of restaurants who are doing what they can to 1)stay in business and 2) take care of us who are social distancing but still would like a nice meal option that someone else cooks.

This story from Kerry Dougherty also appears on the Richmond-based web site Bacon’s Rebellion. Apparently, the “unemployed & unedited” former Pilot writer entered into a content sharing agreement with James Bacon not long ago.
Finally, some good news out of California.

If only I were there. Or better yet, if only the General Assembly would fully decriminalize marijuana.
This man thinks you are stupid.
Trump continues to lie even as the virus spreads exponentially.

So much for the “wartime President” acting like one. To be fair, this may not actually be yet more of his con man dishonesty but rather the sheer stupidity of a man who cannot read a one page briefing paper or stay awake during a presentation. He may, in fact, be so stupid that he believes that FDA approval to test a therapy is the same as FDA approval to make it generally available.
Either way – dishonest or stupid – his luck has run out. He is not the kind of person we need in the Oval Office in this or any other crisis.
PJM: TIMELINE: The Trump Administration’s Decisive Actions To Combat the Coronavirus Pandemic
Matt Margolis provides a useful summary of key events to date in our response to Covid-19.
The factual record doesn’t (and shouldn’t, necessarily) highlight the scale of the CDC/FDA testing fiasco. That SNAFU and subsequent recovery will rank among the largest lessons learned from the epidemic. In that respect the timeline doesn’t really paint a happy face on hard times.
Leopards don’t change their spots
Makes one wonder what the upper levels of the administration think about the lower levels. Are they the “Deep State” trying to undermine Trump? Or are they the bureaucrats that do the grunt work all over the government?
