Her husband is a businessman, always has been. It could easily have been something as simple as dinner-talk at home, whereafter he ran with the implications of the info. I don't want her long career besmirched at the end just so people can claim "fair and balanced" and we lose a good Dem while once again the many Repubs walk off scot-free.

What a world.

As it is, last time I saw her on camera walking thru the halls, she looked every year of her age, and for the first time I worry.

so his tax cut bill can stand and Rethugs will not have to buy into eventually raising taxes.

It's apparent he has some extreme hard liners on spending on his staff and they have his ear.

That and protecting that barn-size ego of his......

Lives.. I don't see how he's going to win, though.. killing people off for his bottom line.

I was thinking earlier about how CV cases are doing in Russia.. speaking of trump and his mission to destroy the USA.

Doesn't seem like they have very many cases of cv..

Then there's this..

Doctors in Russia are accusing the government of covering up its coronavirus outbreak and denying them protective equipment


Russian state media said on Friday that 253 people in Russia, which has a population of about 145 million people, had tested positive for the coronavirus. Russia has announced one death.

So what to believe?

It's been their pattern to lie and deceive like, forever. Trump has the best teachers.

Field service engineers I worked with back in the late 70s that had worked jobs in Russia made it quite clear that lying and deceiving is a part of everyday life there and considered normal.

I don't understand the reaction of these autocratic leaders to this crisis. They act as if it's a personal attack on them and their standing with their public when in reality, it's a disease over which they have no authority. Ironically as Trump is proving, their hide-it mentality is the exact opposite to what would help them maintain power.

It surely must be characteristic of psychopathic and narcissistic personalities, which is hard for us to comprehend.
