The three top experts on the Trumpkopf’s Virus Task Force testified today before a Senate Committee whose Republicans wanted to hype his “Reopen Parade”. Instead, they calmly and professionally refuted his lies about “having prevailed”, the virus “will be gone”, the reopening is a “great success” etc. Once they are off the 5:00 PM nightly “news conference” stage with him, they find their voices and integrity. When Senators asked the director of CDC as to when the detailed “ropening guidelines would be publicly released” he slinked down in his chair and nearly disappeared off the computer screen (Note: He was testifying remotely because he was exposed to the virus at the White House) . Even the Republicans noted that the reopening would move more quickly if businesses had some guidelines to rely upon to insulate themselves from litigation. Instead, he mumbled something about “soon” but would not give a timeline for fear of angering the Trumpkopf. Perhaps they are tired of walking like the clowns at the end of the Circus Parade leaning up after the Elephants.
Ultimately, the question is how many lives is the Trumpkopf willing to lose to push up the stock market before the election. There is plenty of blame to go around on all sides, but this mindless rush to “reopen at any cost” is contrary to his own guidelines. (17 of the 23 states that have begun to reopen did NOT meet the President’s own criteria of 2 weeks of declining infection rates etc. but the Trumpkopf mindlessly cheers them on).
