First coronavirus death in US confirmed

The disease has a 14 day germination period.  During that period it is unlikely to be detected  until it causes enough trouble.  But, during that period an infected person can and will infect others.  People without healthcare, insurance or enough cash to pay will probably put off seeing a doctor until they fall out in the streets.  By which time they've probably infected many others.  So the pandemic continues to spread.  Trump's incompetent staff sent unprotected workers to, very possibly get infected themselves, while seeking to quarantine travelers.  Then they went home to their neighborhoods and likely spread the infection rendering the quarantine useless.  But the  President is only concerned that the market is falling and hurting his chances at being re-elected.

WATCH LIVE: President Trump to give update on coronavirus

Looks like Republicans have reigned in Trump out of fear of losing their seats one and all.  Now they have to bite their nails hoping that Obamacare holds.  It is Obamacare that will get most infected people into hospitals early, before they spread it too far.  Unfortunately Obamacare hasn't been expanded and Trump has succeeded in trimming it down so that fewer people are covered. 
There will be deaths and we know that Trump has hollowed out our defenses of highly skilled professionals and replaced them with no nothing sycophants.   The results will not be good, but they'll try to find someone else to blame, is their usual routine.  Only their Fox Nooze watchers will be foolish enough to buy that line.

First coronavirus death in US confirmed

Because of the high costs of a hospital stay, most people will put off going to the hospital or even seeking medical help at all.  Unfortunately, they will hope against hope and try to convince themselves that what they have is just the flu, a cold, or something that will simply pass, until it is too late and there are no other options.  This is why pandemics are so terribly easy to spread and it is why universal healthcare for all, makes it less likely that disease carriers will stay away from medical intervention and instead continue to spread the contagion.  While we can't know exactly whose life will be saved by healthcare for all, we do know it could just as easily be you or someone you love who catches a contagious disease from someone who could not afford the medical expense to seek early treatment.



A Shocking New Look at the 2008 Housing Crisis | Amanpour and Company

I, sincerely, doubt that a president Sanders would have gone along with giving to the wealth as opposed to giving those houses back to single families.  That is something a President could do, if they weren't beholden to some secret wealth pact.  Sanders is fighting to give the average American the "impossible", whether or not he can do it, depends on whether or not  it happens depends on whether the people are willing to fight for it.  Not on whether the House or the Senate is unlikely to go along.  If "We The People" assert ourselves, they cannot deny us whatever we want!  All they can do is try to confuse us and/or talk us out of it.  Enough said!

I would not be surprised to learn that Trump and McConnell are Putin's "Manchurian Candidates". As well as a few other Republican Senators and Representatives.  Just look at how brazen they are in going about undermining regular order.



Why Trump's press conference backfired

When people stay away from the malls and eat more meals at home, restaurants are the weakest market sector and many bars and restaurants will close throwing large amounts of vacant real estate on the market.  Like a snowball rolling down hill, investors must expect the worst because when their money is gone, it's a terribly difficult effort to get it all back.

Healthcare for all would cover coronavirus treatments.  You don't have to worry if your insurance will cover it, but you'd better check to see if pre-existing conditions still don't apply because Trump is in court trying to see that they do by shutting down the ACA (Obamacare).

Remember, if your candidate will not fight for healthcare for all, there is no chance that you are going to get it.  If, however, your candidate is going to fight for healthcare for all, free college for all, student debt cancelation and more, no matter how small the chances are that he or she will be able to deliver any or all of it, there's a good chance that you will get some of it and a slim chance that you just might get all of it.

Mike Bloomberg: I Believe Sanders Would Lose To President Donald Trump |...

If you believe it's finally time to get universal healthcare, cancel student debt and free college for all, then know that you won't have a prayer of getting any of that, if you vote for any candidate who will not fight with their all to get it for you.  Most candidates cop a plea on  these issues by saying it's not possible, so they won't fight for it.  Well, of course it's not possible if nobody will fight for it.  They offer half measures, but if they don't believe in the full measure, you can believe they're not going to fight very hard for the half measure, because you gave them a mandate not to try!  Think about it before you vote against your own interests again.  CEO's did not say they weren't going to fight to get their taxes cut, because they didn't believe the public would go for it. They said the public be damned, full speed ahead and they got it despite public outrage.

PBS NewsHour live episode, Feb 27, 2020

Gee, wonder how much Bloomie "contributed" to PBS to get this infomercial, eh?  The thing about Bernie is simply this: If you like the idea of universal healthcare, student debt cancellation and free college, you have to vote for a candidate who also believes in it enough to fight for it. If your candidate doesn't fight for what you want; because it's "probably not possible", then it will not be possible and you won't get it guaranteed.  If what Sanders pledges to fight for isn't possible, let the opposition prove it, because if you surrender in advance of the battle you cannot possibly win.

Cooper to Bloomberg: Seems you've only had change of heart because you'r...

Sorry Mike, you're trying to sell a load of Bull.  For instance: "The police got out of control!"; as if you didn't know they were already out of control?  You never heard of Amadou Diallo? The Central Park Five? Never, ever became aware of how Blacks were being treated differently than whites? No awareness of history of slavery, segregation and/or discrimination?  While prisons were full of blacks even while whites were committing more crime?  You knew none of this information that would have helped you make a better judgement about how stop and frisk might be used?  Yeah? Even while civic leaders were complaining and trying hard to inform you that your plan was wrong and going horribly awry?  Then you come back only 18 months ago and continue to try and sell your failed program, even after analysis, proven in courts of law, show that it had done nothing more than egregiously violate the civil rights of Blacks for no public benefit at all.   Not to mention that it was based on a racist trope that Blacks were criminals one and all, that started soon after Blacks; freed from slavery, began to gain positions of respect in society.  As a media mogul you had to know about that and have a good grasp of how to evaluate stories.  Meaning you had to have a good foundation in historical lore.  So don't give me that bulls*it about how you made a "mistake".  Because it's the same "mistake" every klansman claims he has made, whenever he has been caught!  So just stop with the Bull Mike, you're fooling no one but yourself!!!


One of the main reasons that blacks have one tenth of the wealth of whites is; for 500 years blacks could not earn pay for their labors, build no family wealth and nothing to pass to the next generation.  This had the worst impact as the 200 years of the industrial revolution began to take hold.  Blacks could not participate in the boom although it was their labor that made it possible.
So, what these statistics are showing us is that 9 tenths of what a black family should have is what was stolen from them and you aren't for giving any of it back.  Thanks Mike!

They also need someone who is dedicated to good ideals enough so that he or she won't be turned.  Bernie is only being called extreme by those who fear he will win and turn back their profit centers.



Bloomberg's election MONOPOLY

No wonder why Republicans don't want Bernie to win.  Hahaha... They're on the horns of a dilemma where they should be forever.  Keep an eye on Trump in India where religious wars are beginning to rage.



Fox’s Chris Wallace RIPS into Trump official on air in fiery interview

How many meetings has Bernie had with Russians?  How many Putin aligned lobbyists has appointed to manage his election campaign? How many secret meetings has Bernie had with Russians in an effort to establish a back channel of communications with Russia?  Hmmm...   I could be wrong, but didn't Trump and his campaign do something like that?  Am I imagining that Trump blames Ukraine for interfering in our elections, by taking Putin's word over our own intelligence agencies?  I don't know, maybe it's just my partisan thinking, eh?



Trump heads to India in first trip as president

He's hiding again, something big is probably about to break here.  At least that's the way these trips have played over the last few decades of Republican Presidents.  When big stuff was about to break they get the President out of town and try to refocus attention away from the new scandal/bad news.

John King breaks down Bernie Sanders' effect on polls after Nevada

Bernie is the only candidate who says he will fight for the things he wants you to have, because regardless of the resistance, if he doesn't fight for them you definitely won't get them.  Other candidates are saying;"We're not going to try to get you universal healthcare because we don't think it can be passed.  We aren't going to try to erase student debt because we don't think it can be passed.  In other words, since the things you want and need aren't likely to be passed we're not going to fight for them, instead we're going to go after a watered down milquetoast agenda. 

Won't they all be very surprised it the Senate gets changed as well this election.

Sanders Says He Was Briefed On Russian Efforts To Help His 2020 Campaign...

The Russians know they will get nothing good from a Sanders win, thus they're making this claim of helping Sanders in an effort to tarnish him.  Because tarnishing Sanders helps Trump. The Russians are only interested in helping Trump and because they've been caught out on it, they realize that letting it be known that they are helping anyone's campaign hurts that campaign.  But this does tell us something about what they're thinking, eh? They are afraid that America might comeback from this lunacy if a normal person is elected.  Moscow Mitch and Gulag Graham are destroying America.



#WashWeekPBS: President Trump clashes with national security officials

I resent the media trying to pretend that this half crazed lunatic is some kind of president.  He's clearly not qualified, he doesn't know how to defend the U.S. Constitution because he has no idea of how political systems work. He thinks he's been elected to rule rather than govern and he would not know the difference if you asked him.  He certainly has not done anything to make America better or greater, he's ruined America's standing in the eyes of the world, he's damaged the military, the intelligence community, Congressional oversight and he's compromised himself and those around him.  He's appointed the worst people who were not qualified to hold their positions.  He and his sycophants don't understand that we only have freedoms because there are regulations that prohibit intrusion on individual rights, that are protected by institutions that enforce them.  He's doing away with all of that, as if making America run like a banana republic is better than having a Constitutional Republic.  Anyone with a fortune to lose, especially in real estate where you cannot simply pick up and run with it, should be frightened to death of any dictatorship taking over.
