”Trump begins at the briefing by expressing support, solidarity and love for Americans. "We're fighting for you, and we're enduring all of this together, and we will soon prevail together," he says.”
Not if you think the federal stockpile is yours you don’t.

”Trump is noting his administration's efforts to get temporary hospitals built and staffed. He adds, "It's just an incredible situation. There's never been anything like this."
He always says that like he is special and that only he has the ability to do whatever. But all he does is fail.

So............... Kushner and friends and Ivanka too! A co-founder of Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm with financial ties to White House adviser Jared Kushner, asked the Trump administration to ease provisions in the stimulus bill to benefit their company, according to an email obtained by NBC News. NBC reported that the email was sent by Apollo's co-founder, Mark Rowan, according to a source close to Kushner. The source said there was "nothing remarkable" about the email that was sent to the White House adviser. Unlike the dozens of other companies Kushner receives proposals from, Apollo made a $184 million loan in 2017 to Kushner Companies, the real estate company in which Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, retains an interest. Rowan and his firm made a recommendation about a $100 billion loan program announced by the Federal Reserve to backstop lenders and investors, asking them to fix their requirements so their higher-risk loans can qualify. The loan program is an effort to get cash to flow into the financial system amid the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. ** On Friday, Bloomberg reported that bank executives who were concerned about the $349 billion emergency small business program created in the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill passed last week reached out to Trump’s daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump as they tried to negotiate higher interest rates. ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/491189-private-equity-firm-with-ties-to-kushner-asks-trump

Is he the new fiddler? Nero played while Rome burned? On January 3, Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar learned of the spread of COVID-19 in China. According to the WaPo, he could not raise Trump on the phone to warn him of the looming threat until January 18, at which point “the president interjected to ask about vaping and when flavored vaping products would be back on the market.” On February 5, Trump turned down an offer from Congress for supplemental funding for the pandemic. That same day, Azar asked the White House for $2 billion to buy respirators, and Trump pared that figure down by 75 percent. Two days later, the regime “facilitated the transportation of nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to the Chinese people, including masks, gowns, gauze, respirators, and other vital materials.” news.yahoo.com/senator-says-white-house-turned-down-emergency-coronavirus-funding-in-early-february-003319950.html** Finally, we’re all a bit stir-crazy, and it seems that Trump is getting ready for some golfing. While several of his golf resorts are closed, one of his properties in Virginia remains open, and the Secret Service signed a contract to rent $45,000 worth of golf carts in that very town. “The new contract, which the Secret Service described as an ’emergency order,’ does not mention Trump or the golf club by name,” according to The Washington Post, “but it closely mirrors past contracts signed by the Secret Service, for agents accompanying Trump to his golf clubs in New Jersey and Florida.”

I've seen this multiple times on Facebook today and am ready to pull my hair out. It shows a picture of Trump and then reads: Can you imagine the weight this man is feeling right now? I have two children that depend on me daily, yet on some days my stress level is through the roof and I feel like the weight of the world is all on me. When he signed up for this role (without pay) he did it for us Americans. He didn’t do it for the fame or glory, he already had all that. He was willing to take on the job, but the magnitude of what we’re currently experiencing has got to be paralyzing. To some, NOTHING he does is ever right or good enough. Do you ever wonder how he must be dealing with it all? When his head finally hits the pillow at night after press conferences, the scrutiny of the media, countless meetings, the endless negative and derogatory comments thrown at him, and constantly trying to defend himself and protect OUR country. Does he break down and cry from all the pressure? Is he scared and confused? Is he even able to sleep? Can he shut his mind off at all? Or does he lay there and talk to God all night praying for strength and answers? Whether he’s making you proud or not, look at this photo and ask God to soften your heart just a little bit and lift this man up in prayer. He needs them right now more than ever. He is carrying the weight of OUR country on his shoulders and I don’t think anybody could or would be able to do the job better than he is. Feel free to share this post and remind everyone to be kind(to everyone) and to pray for President Trump and for the entire world 🙏🏼❤️ As always... if you don’t have anything nice to say, there’s NO NEED to comment, just keep scrolling. No one wants to hear negativity at a time like this. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sorry but I HARDLY think he has one bit of trouble falling asleep at night. And a guy who was cheating on his wife a few months after she gave birth with a porn star is probably NOT sitting there praying all night. Do people really think he is some amazing Christian? How? I can't! Narcissists don't have feelings. He sleeps just fine.

”Pressed on whether it was appropriate to fire Navy ship captain over leaked letter, Sec. of Defense Mark Esper tells @gstephanopoulos he supports the decision: "It's an issue of trust and confidence in the captain of the ship." abcn.ws/2xPs4Rr”
So let me get this straight. The Captain wrote a letter outlining his concerns about his men & women & the virus on the ship. The letter was leaked.
And the excuse they are using to fire him is the lack of trust & confidence in this Captain?
Bill Kristol...
”Esper: "It's an issue of trust and confidence in the captain." But the military brass had trust and confidence. The Acting Navy Secretary, in the job because his predecessor objected to pardoning war criminals, insisted on firing him. Esper went along. Because Trump wanted it.”
The cancer known as trump has spread to the leadership of the Navy.

Capt Crozier has tested positive for Covid-19. Washington (CNN)The Navy captain removed from command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt last week after warning that action was needed to save the lives of his crew from a coronavirus outbreak has tested positive for the virus, according to The New York Times on Sunday. Capt. Brett Crozier began exhibiting symptoms before he was removed from the warship on Thursday, the Times reported, citing two Naval Academy classmates of Crozier's who are close to him and his family. ** Esper said that 155 sailors from Roosevelt have tested positive for Covid-19, and that more than half of those aboard the aircraft carrier have been tested. There have been no hospitalizations, according to the secretary. ** www.cnn.com/2020/04/05/politics/brett-crozier-coronavirus-navy/index.html

”Every aspect of Trump’s crisis management has been annexed by his psychopathology. As Americans die, he boasts about his television ratings. As Americans die, he crows that he’s No. 1 on Facebook, which isn’t close to true. But it is true that all eyes are on him.”
”He’s got a captive audience, an attention-addict’s dream come to life. It’s just that he, like all narcissistic personalities, has no clue how disgracefully — how shamefully, how deplorably — he’ll be enshrined in memory." #REMEMBERINNOVEMBER”

What is wrong with these damn Republicans??
Have you been following what’s happening in Wisconsin and the primary election?
Molly Beck..
”Last hour in Wisconsin:
Governor shuts down tomorrow's election
Legislature leaders say it's still on
State elections officials tell clerks to keep preparing for an election
At least 1 mayor and 1 county executive issue their own orders to block in-person voting
*exhale*
It seems the Republicans legislature wants the in person primary to happen tomorrow as scheduled. They nixed the idea of voting by mail. So today the governor signed an EO postponing the primary election until June. Now the Republican controlled legislature is saying, we are going to ignore your EO and the election is going to happen as scheduled.
The reason they want this election to happen tomorrow? They anticipate low voter turnout because after all who wants to chance getting the virus. Low voter turnout helps them and they have this guy running for the Wisconsin Supreme Court that they really want to win the election.
Another case of the Republicans cheating to win as well as not caring for the well-being of the citizens of Wisconsin by unnecessarily exposing them to the possibility of catching the virus if they decide to vote
Pox on the House of the Republicans!

Paul Waldman & Greg Sargent- Washington Post..
“Surprise twist in Wisconsin voting wars points to GOP plot to save Trump”
From the article...
”By now most political observers agree that President Trump’s reelection hopes will probably turn on Wisconsin. If he can’t win there, he’s all but certain to lose. But if he can, he has a real chance at pulling off another electoral college win — even if he loses Pennsylvania and Michigan, the other “blue wall” states he cracked in 2016 — and Wisconsin is demographically very favorable to him.
This is the underlying factor to consider as you watch the terrible battle that’s playing out right now in Wisconsin over whether the state will hold an election on schedule amid a raging pandemic.
Gov. Tony Evers, a Democrat, just issued an executive order postponing the primary election — which was set for Tuesday — until June 9. Even he seemed uncertain about whether he has the legal authority to do so.
“Regardless of the legal issues, I absolutely have the belief that the governor has to step up and stand up for those people,” he said. “No one else is.”
Evers said his decision was prompted by warnings from the White House, which has said the coronavirus crisis is going to substantially worsen this week. “We have the surgeon general saying this is Pearl Harbor,” Evers said. “It’s time to act.”
As soon as Evers issued his order, the Republican leadership in the legislature announced their intention to challenge it in the state supreme court. “The clerks of this state should stand ready to proceed with the election,” they said in a statement. “The governor’s executive order is clearly an unconstitutional overreach.”
What’s strange is that Republicans in Wisconsin have resisted numerous efforts to make it easier for people to vote safely, even though the White House itself has indeed issued dire pandemic warnings. Other states have postponed their primaries as the novel coronavirus made gathering with your neighbors in long lines in a middle school gym seem like a terrible idea.
Evers was willing to hold the election as scheduled until recently, but he tried to make the voting safer and easier amid the pandemic. Yet Republicans resisted.
Evers called for the state to simply send every voter an absentee ballot, but Republicans refused. Democrats filed lawsuits to remove certain absentee ballot requirements that will be impossible for some to follow during the lockdown.
Republicans fought those, too, as well as a suit seeking to give the state more time to count the increased number of absentee ballots.
All this has led to reasonable speculation that Wisconsin Republicans are actively hoping to carry through this election with lower turnout, because they believe that will benefit them in a big race: one that pits conservative Justice Daniel Kelly against liberal challenger Jill Karofsky, competing for a 10-year term in a coveted state supreme court seat.
As Ari Berman bluntly put it: “Republicans may be counting on low Democratic turnout to help them win.”
However the state courts do end up ruling on this immediate standoff, all this underscores two important things about the battles to come with regard to this fall’s election.
First, it shows how brutally hard it will be to get Republicans to agree to a comprehensive effort to make voting easier and safer this fall (should the coronavirus still be with us), such as national vote by mail.
With negotiations looming over another economic rescue package, Democrats will be under pressure to draw a hard line to get something like universal vote by mail included. But the fact that Republicans are fighting measures to make voting safer with lives at stake shows how unlikely they are to buckle.
“The extreme lengths the GOP has taken to avoid mailing voters ballots in Wisconsin illustrates how hard Republicans are likely to fight against universal vote by mail nationally — even to the point of endangering the public,” Ben Wikler, the chair of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, told us.
Wisconsin Republicans have employed justifications for this that are positively comical. As one of them told Cameron Joseph:
“There’s serious concern on the conservative side that the liberals are changing the rules in the middle of the election and tilting them toward their favor,” said Brian Reisinger, a top Wisconsin GOP strategist. “There’s a major feeling that absentee and early voting are tools of the left to make up for the fact that they can’t win on election day.”
Gosh, what on earth would prompt reasonable grounds for a “changing of the rules” right now? It couldn’t be the fact that a pandemic is raging that has killed nearly 10,000 Americans, could it?
Indeed, all of this has the feel of a dry run for this fall’s election. If the pandemic is still with us, it seems obvious that Wisconsin Republicans will again resist efforts to make voting safer and easier when the presidential race (as opposed to a spot on the state supreme court) is at stake.
Wikler posited that this fall, Republicans will again want to try to ensure the lowest possible turnout — with Democratic constituencies not showing up due to pandemic fears — just as they are now.
This sets the stage for what happens in Wisconsin’s fall election — and, so, the fate of the Trump presidency,” Wikler told us, adding that “the GOP’s fear is that if everyone can safely vote this spring,” it makes it more likely that “Trump would lose.”
Given the centrality of Wisconsin to Trump’s chances of reelection, this has to be seen as plausible.”
The idea that mail in ballots and early voting are tools of left because they can’t win if folks could only vote on Election Day has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
The idea that 153.07 million people show up on one day to vote is as dumb as the idiot who made the remarks about early voting and mail in ballots.
If the Democrats started pulling these stunts to win, I would quit the Democratic Party and I would be ashamed that I ever associated with a bunch of stupid cheaters.

Wisconsin Supreme Court blocks governor's order to postpone primary electionBy Eric Bradner and Kate Sullivan, CNN Updated 6:40 PM ET, Mon April 6, 2020 (CNN)Wisconsin's Supreme Court blocked Gov. Tony Evers' order to postpone Tuesday's election, despite his arguments that in-person voting could endanger poll workers and voters. The court sided with Republicans who control the state legislature and opposed Evers' executive order Monday that sought to delay the election until June 9. The decision was 4-2, with the court's conservative majority backing the GOP's position. It was the latest twist in a legal battle that has thrown the primary into chaos as state and local elections officials have consolidated polling places and scrambled to find workers and supplies for those that will open. Evers, a Democrat, had earlier issued an executive order delaying Tuesday's primary until June 9, unless he and the legislature approve of a different date. He said in the order that "no Wisconsinite should ever have to choose between exercising their constitutional right to vote and being safe, secure, and healthy." ** www.cnn.com/2020/04/06/politics/wisconsin-primary-election/index.html

Good luck Wisconsin - if I lived in Wisconsin I would be voting tomorrow because of the judicial election not the primary
I’m pretty sure that the national candidates will have already been chosen by the time our primary rolls around. So I’ll reassess then wether it’s worth the risk.
Nothing will keep me from the polls in November unless I’m dead or unconscious. Nothing.
I’m hoping for true mail in voting though ( not just absentee ballot mail in ) if so I’ll mail in my vote the first day it’s legal to do so. I mean it, nothing will keep me from voting this November.
