That's an example, the article is well worth reading and cites specific examples including an exchange between Dan Patrick, the lieutenant governor of Texas, and Tucker Carlson.
He goes on to suggests grandparents sacrifice themselves to save the economy of their grandchildren.

By contrast, durinig his press conference today Gov. Cuomo responded by saying something like "They're talking about my mother! They're talking about your mother! In America we don't leave anybody behind!"

Keep in mind that the groundwork for this has also been laid in the churches these scumbags attend. Making money is vitally important to certain brands of US "Christianity."

Yep.
The money collected during a streaming-video service will never be as great as the money collected during a live service that brings in the twice-a-year Christians.

That's not exactly what I was talking about, though it's definitely related. I was talking about "prosperity Christians" who are taught that making money is a virtue in and of itself.

Why are so many people assuming Dr. Fauci knows more than President Trump?

I know! And especially since all the doctors are asking how Trump knows so much about epidemiology with his natural gift and all! Those good genes run in the family. Did I mention how his MIT engineer uncle is proof of that?

Why do his supporters like hearing him whine like that all the time? That is one of the strangest things.

Because they see themselves as victims, too. Victims of foreigners taking all their jobs and victims of gun grabbing, commie-loving,God-hating, baby killing libtards.

His ability to pivot is amazing! So reminiscent of Orwell’s novels. But he is still calling it the “China Virus” right? In fact he consciously changed the word from Covid-19 to China in his script for a TV appearance. Now he is trying to sell, “Gee why would anyone blame Asians?” If challenged I am sure he would say, “I didn't mean those Asians. Just the bad ones, like those in China. Or people like them...”. What a manipulator of the racists and the stupid! But then I am repeating myself. It’s his defenders of such crap that I can’t understand. Do they really not get it? Many are not racist or stupid, but are they so naive that they are being manipulated in the same way?

I don't think he used that term in either of the interviews today. But I turned off the Fox Town Hall after like, two minutes.
 
Trump Tweets

Price transparency is so important for the people of our Country. In many ways, it will prove to be as important as healthcare itself. A great issue for both Republicans and Democrats. Hopefully it will be approved!
 
Good evening. I really wish that the reporters on the press briefings would stop addressing their questions to Trump at all. He has nothing of any value to say at all. I don't know if Corvid-19 is Catholic or not. I doubt it has Easter circled on its schedule. Just because Trump thinks that it should all be wrapped up by Easter because Trump thinks it's a "Beautiful Day." , I'm not sure that's such a good idea. Then again, I don't have his great brain genes.

Get them to actually produce one of those, with evidence of the crimes. Because they only exist in their fever-stoked imaginations. And the sooner they realise that (some hope!) the faster they might get off the Trump crazy-train.

One nationally televised evangelist is on tape as saying "No matter what, get that tithe in that church!"

And with no controls what percentage of the population will get it 30-70%? Over a million dead is pretty much a given.

See china did rather forced social distancing to stop the spread, if they said "screw it, its only 14 million" and ignored it that would be rather different.

If we go by the one report, 81% in the first year, provided no measures were taken. We should be below that, now, with the measures taken, but... how much below that is an open question, at this point.

To poke elsewhere...

Ugh.

On governors asking for help, Trump says, “I think we [Trump admin] are doing very well [at supplying aid]. It’s a two-way street. [Governors] have to treat us well, also.”

He goes on to chide Cuomo for not having asked for ventilators two years ago.

The quid pro quo here might be praise. It might be NY dropping investigations into Trump. God knows what it is.

Trump doesn't like Cuomo upstaging him, apparently, too.

Next, in probably legal vote-splitting efforts...

Montana GOP admits to funding drive to get the Green Party on the ballot in Montana

Yup.
