I would have asked back if those organizations had access to the same intelligence that our current blunderer-in-chief had?
Notice how quickly she left?
She didn't even give a chance to a response.
I hate this administration, and there is very little that I truly hate.
Long thread; worth the read.
The economy is not "coming back" until the health crisis is over.
What is healthcare, like 17-20% of our economy? This crisis crushes than entire sector, so you can see what's coming even IF anything else "gets back to normal". Which it won't, UNTIL the virus spread is limited and controlled.

Last week: States to to meet these requirements over a 2 week period to reopen certain things
1(!) week later: Screw it, do what you want
Great leadership

So, the Treasury Sec doesn't know what the US flag looks like
Oh, and getting owned by Axl Rose...

This sure looks like a WHOLE LOTTA PEOPLE should be charged with Obstruction here...
I follow GEN Abrams and MG Donahoe on Twitter (actually engaged them both more than once), they have both been pretty detailed in how South Korea has been dealing with it and how USFK has been engaged with them. That country nailed their response almost from the first positive test. Really the only negative out of their response was the one case at the church that turned into a large number of positives.
Oh but to have followed the same philosophy. It was there and doable, if responded to properly at the federal level.
I don't even feel like starting a new thread...
Plead guilty to a felony, have the charges dropped. Nice country we have here. These guys aren't even trying to make things look legitimate anymore.

That's got Barr's fingerprints all over it, don't it?
EDIT: Or, Barr is just doing it to avoid Trump pardoning him. Running interference to prevent THAT shitstorm....
Biden better not pull a Ford and just pardon everyone. I don't care if it "looks" political, he needs to tell the new DoJ to investigate everything and prosecute as needed. Send the whole lot to jail.
Biden needs to salt the Earth when he gets in office. A big part of the reason this keeps happening with Republicans in office is there are never any consequences for doing so. If we can't re-establish some legitimacy in our Federal Government then he will not accomplish anything else. A thorough investigation into the activities of this administration needs to be conducted and when people don't show up for subpoena's then they need to get their asses thrown in jail. They can rot there while they try to fight court cases about not having to show up for subpoenas.

Because even in this thread, you need to laugh.
But...they did just wing it. There is nothing that they have done that is even remotely coordinated. They literally left it entirely up to the states.
Meanwhile....at the WH...

According to the documents, CDC continued inquiring for days about the guidance that officials had hoped to post by Friday, May 1, the day Trump had targeted for reopening some businesses, according to a source who was granted anonymity because they were not permitted to speak to the press.
On April 30 the CDC’s documents were killed for good.
The agency had not heard any specific critiques from either the White House Principals Committee or the coronavirus task force in days, so officials asked for an update.
“The guidance should be more cross-cutting and say when they should reopen and how to keep people safe. Fundamentally, the Task Force cleared this for further development, but not for release,” wrote Quinn Hirsch, a staffer in the White House's office of regulatory affairs (OIRA), in an email to the CDC’s parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services.
CDC staff working on the guidance decided to try again.
The administration had already released its Opening Up America Again Plan, and the clock was ticking. Staff at CDC thought if they could get their reopening advice out there, it would help communities do so with detailed expert help.
But hours later on April 30, CDC’s Chief of Staff McGowan told CDC staff that neither the guidance documents nor the decision trees “would ever see the light of day,” according to three officials who declined to be named because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.
The next day, May 1, the emails showed, a staffer at CDC was told “we would not even be allowed to post the decision trees. We had the team (exhausted as they are) stand down.”
The CDC’s guidance was shelved. Until May 7.
That morning The Associated Press reported that the Trump administration had buried the guidance, even as many states had started allowing businesses to reopen.
After the story ran, the White House called the CDC and ordered them to refile all of the decision trees, except one that targeted churches. An email obtained by the AP confirmed the agency resent the documents late Thursday, hours after news broke.
“Attached per the request from earlier today are the decision trees previously submitted to both OIRA and the WH Task Force, minus the communities of faith tree,” read the email. “Please let us know if/when/how we are able to proceed from here.”
