[While I'm much in favor of opening up the economy sooner than later, I can't understand the Trump/Cuomo pissing match now going on (here). The President is all wet in asserting that it is only he who gets "to call the shots" on opening up the country. The country was not 'closed' on the basis of some federal imperative, and so it does not stand that it awaits the President's removal of such a non-existent imperative. In the meanwhile, the governors are in charge of lawful public intercourse in their states. As usual, Trump is burning up political capital better put to use elsewhere, and the lamestream is eating it up. gjr]

No one is buying what emperor xi is selling –
“You [Xi], your government and your scientists had to know long ago that coronavirus is highly infectious, but you left the world in the dark about it. Your top experts didn’t respond when Western researchers asked to know what was going on in Wuhan. You were too proud and too nationalistic to tell the truth, which you felt was a national disgrace,” wrote Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Germany’s largest paper, Bild, which had questioned if China “should pay for the massive economic damage the coronavirus is inflicting worldwide.”
Reichelt added: “You rule by surveillance. You wouldn’t be president without surveillance. You monitor everything, every citizen, but you refuse to monitor the diseased wet markets in your country. You shut down every newspaper and website that is critical of your rule, but not the stalls where bat soup is sold. You are not only monitoring your people, you are endangering them – and with them, the rest of the world.”

Quotes:
“It was about a virus, now it’s about control.”—-The Unknown Biker
Insight: “Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.” —Ronald Reagan
Observations: “The somnolent economy is analogous to a patient who is to be brought back from a forced coma. No one quite knows how, or even if, the economy will fully awaken — only that the chances it might not increase the longer it stays comatose.” —Victor Davis Hanson
Braying jenny: “If [President Trump] continues to predicate the action that we take on a false premise, then we’re in further danger, and his earlier delay and denial caused deaths. And so it’s very important that we walk the line that is close to evidence, data, science as we go forward and not whimsy, magic hoax allegations and placing blame instead of taking responsibility.” —Nancy Pelosi on the plan to reopen
Braying jackass: “You are absolutely silent. I’m challenging you to open your mouth. I think I may be the first person in history to challenge Donald Trump to speak up.” —Mayor Bill de Blasio accusing Trump of ignoring challenges faced by cities and states
Alpha jackass: “We deserve better than the family. And the time of corona is an excellent time to practice abolishing it.” —Brooklyn Institute for Social Research scholar Sophie Lewis
Dezinformatsiya: “President Trump … has been warming up of late to his old friend, Russia’s president Vladimir Putin. The two leaders have made a record-breaking number of phone calls to each other recently and some of the president’s own former advisers said that Putin may be using the coronavirus pandemic to realize his long-held goal of edging closer to Trump.” —CNN’s Jim Sciutto
And last… “Think about what is the absolute worst news for Democrats. ‘The economy has recovered and we are back to normal.’” —Chuck Woolery

One of the reasons that they may not have let us in and given us the data on this virus early is they’re racing to get a vaccine. And they think this is just a competitive business race. It’s a business proposition so that they can sell the vaccines to the world. But we’re going to beat them.

Now that’s funny and funnier that it got more attention than 0! –
The video – which was not produced by the campaign – parodies an Allstate commercial with the insurance company’s spokesman Dennis Haysbert watching a basketball game with his friends before a commercial of Haysbert advertising Allstate appears on the screen. In the original ad, Haysbert’s friends implore him to change the channel, which he does, only to find another Allstate ad starring himself.
In the video Trump tweeted, Obama’s head is obviously superimposed over Haysbert’s, and instead of an Allstate commercial, a fake Biden ad appears on the TV when the basketball game goes to commercial.
“The kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again,” Biden says in the fake ad. “I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I loved kids jumping on my lap.”
The ad might be fake, but it uses a real quote by the former vice president from June 2017 in which he was describing his time as a lifeguard at a Delaware pool when he was younger. The Biden comments were not nefarious and were not the main subject of the speech he was giving, but have been seized on by his opponents previously to illustrate the candidate’s gaffe-prone nature.
The video Trump tweeted shows Obama shrugging and saying “what” to the others looking at him just as Haysbert does in the original Allstate commercial.
