He also went to the gym after his test results.

Hoyer walked that back as fake news. He was apparently referring to Rand going to the gym while waiting for his test results before finding out he was positive.

Ah ok.

Gomer wonders if he caught the virus FROM WEARING A MASK

Just needs to rub some bleach on his lungs.

@JakeSherman
Ever since PM came out, Ive gotten a flood of emails from republican staffers who say they too are being forced to come to the hill without a mask now.

If you’re one of those people, email me or dm me.

This is the PM he's referring to:

It really is a death cult.

Nothing to see here.

and for anyone not tracking the news, this is what I found that tidbit to be about https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st ... -supplies/ kodak was a dying company, slowly fading into the sunset. Lots of factory space, and some really beautiful buildings, but its best days were behind it up until a GOP President picked a winner in a state he so desperately wants to win. 'Gonna buy me an election if it kills me.'

This should be an easy job for the SEC to sort out and for the FBI to drop the hammer on the insiders. Start placing your bets.

Trump ain’t winning NY.

Now, aside from shady dealing, lets debate the reality of the need for a nation to invest in R&D. R&D is actually something that does trickle down to citizens making the world a better place, providing jobs, etc. The US was great at this through DOD, NASA, FDA, etc., but we shifted to the idea that good ideas will get investment. That is only partially true in my assessment, which is one that has the prospective of having worked in R&D. Investment came for quick hit tech that could be patented and then exploited, but it dried up for other areas. App for that, hell yes, but a more efficient, cleaner jet engine required a long term deal with GE and United to test fly an algae based fuel, and that work progresses slowly with a very low budget.

Where does this fit with national strategy? The lists are long and storied, but with out ARPA/DARPA funding 'the internet', BSG might be a dial up message board, and the internet is, of course a who lot more now that IOT drive telco, etc. GPS, same same. These investments today are rare. Sure goofy things got funded (mood sensing walls for offices went no where, and is still one of the strangest things I recall - I assume it was more about sensor development to detect stresses in a high stress arena like space), but there were unexpected breakthroughs. Clearly I am a firm believer in Federal Support for Research and Development, especially if it is a public/private partnership where the Government make the agreement iron clad (i.e., avoiding scenarios where the government funds, then fails to meet its obligation creating a scenario where the government then pays full price to purchase the results of the research it primarily funded).

President Trump told suburban voters in a tweet on Wednesday they will “no longer be bothered or financially hurt” by having low-income housing in their neighborhood after his administration revoked an Obama-era housing rule.

I am happy to inform all of the people living their Suburban Lifestyle Dream that you will no longer be bothered or financially hurt by having low income housing built in your neighborhood...

...Your housing prices will go up based on the market, and crime will go down. I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH Rule. Enjoy!

Nice. Pushing the bigot agenda while napping another Obama effort. At this rate he’ll completely wipe out all of Obamas eight years and then he’ll say that Joe didn’t accomplish a damn thing while he was in office, take a look at the record and the register

The bigot spigot.
