[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]

Truth is, the Republicans want Biden since he’s the shittiest possible candidate, the establishment Democrats want him since he’s the perfect corporate Democrat, the Blue Mob wants him since they’ll climb a hill of rape victims to get Orange Man out of office. A win-win-win situation.
At least Joe doesn’t seem to be the rapey lip biter that Hillary’s husband seemed to be back in the day.

https://www.teaparty.org/california-public-school-teacher-admits-to-teaching-her-students-that-trump-is-fascist-trashes-republican-students-on-social-media-436019
My strong suspicion is that civics teachers are the bottom o’ the barrel in terms of instructors, so the bar is set pretty low. A first bid for a solution is to only hire foreign nationals to teach American government. They might bring more interesting insights to the whole process. From my experience, it’s hard to get more pro-traditional American thinking than an ex-Combloc citizen, but that certainly wouldn’t be acceptable in many US schools.

‘San Francisco Chronicle Spins for Pelosi’s Corona Chinatown Invite’
On January 31st, President Trump announced a travel ban from China. And was promptly denounced as a racist and xenophobe by both Democrats and the media. There, for example, was former Vice President Joe Biden tweeting this:
“We are in the midst of a crisis with the coronavirus. We need to lead the way with science — not Donald Trump’s record of hysteria, xenophobia, and fear-mongering. He is the worst possible person to lead our country through a global health emergency.”
On February 24th House Speaker Nancy Pelosi conducted a quite public made-for-the-TV cameras visit to San Francisco’s Chinatown, urging the public to come visit. Said she: “Come to Chinatown, we are careful safe, and come join us.”

Trump tweet:
