Unless Manafort said he'd release the information if he wasn't protected.

you are giving him far more credit than you should. He is stumbling thought his presidency a day at a time. He's not capable of being this strategic. Besides, he always say the quiet thing loudly, he would have blurted this out by now if it was his plan.

(16,254 posts)I worry about them returning to the classroom, as well as the little ones.
Get the numbers down and keep them there for a while before you open the schools. Those classrooms are petri dishes.

(2,692 posts)Why are teachers and school support staff people of no significance vis-a-vis this pandemic while Paul Manafort is? Why is it not just OK but now, somehow, patriotically necessary, to sacrifice the professional educators and those who support their mission, to be placed at risk of death, but not a man whose felonies bordered on treason?
Yes, the children are also placed at risk in this, and many of them will get sick, some will die, others will suffer serious lifelong consequences. Those numbers will probably be small, but is Trump willing to put up his children in this death lottery?
I think it's approaching time to break out the torches and pitchforks. This man and his evil minions -- such as that absolute pig in Florida -- are going to have a reckoning and it will not be pretty.

(16,254 posts)I may be old, but I'm not dead...yet. I think that just the sight of a bunch of pitchforks will show how much of a wimp Trump truly is.
Elderly, unite! We have a bunch of little ones to protect.

(32,645 posts)... in order to keep your kid safe. That's just fine with him.
It also means you probably voted for him, because you're most likely a one-per-center.
Let's face it, only a tiny number of Americans can afford private tutors for their kids. If you can afford charter school / private school tuition, the number gets a little larger but you're still in the top two-per-cent of Americans. Those are the only Americans Chump cares about.

(11,885 posts)And you've seen what trump thinks of children by caging them and scattering them across the globe preventing them from ever finding their parents again. Trump hates children , and has no problem putting them and your family at risk for his political gain. trump wants the virus spread more doing this , and with re-opening prematurely. trumps on putins side , not ours.

(23,105 posts)Why is DeSantis at risk having visitors quite a ways from his residence but teachers who will have babies in their faces aren't at risk? No, they just don't give a shit about the working class and poor other than juicing the economy because they certainly aren't asking the rich to do their fair share. I have seen nothing being done to protect the teachers and lunchroom workers of FL, and very minimal assistance to keep kids healthy. No social distancing is allowed in DeSatanus order, class room sizes will be allowed to continue to be huge and violate FL orders for smaller classrooms. We are so fucked as a state and so many other red states will be in the same category.

I want to see the plan for how the schools will be opened that provide safety for the kids, teachers, cafeteria workers, school staff, etc.
Show us the details and then we can assess if our the schools are ready for our children.
