on a totally unrelated note, do you know it only takes about 15 minutes to get a small business license in PA? Woulda been quicker had my internet not dropped in the middle.

This fucking guy:

@realDonaldTrump
Why didn’t the I.G., who spent 8 years with the Obama Administration (Did she Report on the failed H1N1 Swine Flu debacle where 17,000 people died?), want to talk to the Admirals, Generals, V.P. & others in charge, before doing her report. Another Fake Dossier!

Of course, the award winning Ms. Grimm has been with the Office of the Inspector General since 1999 which means she also spent eight years under Bush (and a couple under Clinton). But you do you, Donald.

That relates to my early morning post a Fox News correspondent asking about a report from the HHS Inspector General where his response was response, Trump said, "It's just wrong. Did I hear the word 'inspector general,' really? It's wrong" and then wanted to know the name of the IG because its a political witch hunt.

And because OBAMA
yawn

President Trump has removed the chairman of the federal panel Congress created to oversee his administration's management of the $2 trillion stimulus package passed last month.

Glenn Fine, who had been the acting Pentagon inspector general, was informed Monday that he was being replaced by Sean W. O’Donnell, currently the inspector general at the Environmental Protection Agency.

Fine is a career official who had served as acting Pentagon inspector general for four years and three months. Before that he was inspector general at the Justice Department for 11 years.

Seems like a good time to requote thephan from this morning:

thephan wrote:I was talking with an accountant around how his clients are approaching the COVID-19 SBA Disaster Loans. He said that it has some amount of complexity mixed with some strange requirements that seem unrelated. He has been working with a few bankers as that is the best way to deal with banking and the assessment is that the loans are going fast. He expects that ultimately it will be rampant with fraud.

He almost seems schizophrenic there, in that he appears to have two entirely different sentences running simultaneously through his mind and cannot untangle them.


last i know andrew mccarthy and jonathan silverman weren't doing much... just sedate him, put a cap and glasses on him and no one will be the wiser. just roll him out, prop him up, and maybe move his arm up and down every so often. easy double digit victory in november.


I think he said we can maintain democratic institutions and work to safeguard public health at the same time, as we've done before. I can provide you with captions if you need them.

Wow, the Wisconsin GOP is pure evil. They are trolling during a life-and-death situation.

Fuck these guys and anyone who continues to support the party.
