White House Coronavirus Policy Still Motivated By Debunked Model | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
You couldn’t write this Sh..lol
@TheBase1aransas lol… You called it a she…
Wrong npc ba bumenthal. Her ratings have declined steadily since mueller debunked madcows russia-gate. People only watch her to laugh at her. Unless your as dumb as someone who believed russia-gate.
@B A Blumenthal WOW, deaf, dumb AND stupid.
@Kenny Olivier lolol… you’re right
You’re talking about ratings? If everyone was smart, smart wouldn’t be a thing to be. You’ll find that the more specialised a thing is, the smaller the group that can perform/appreciate/understand it.
Why would Russia not try to influence other countries’ elections?
Haha.. what a laughing stock this country has become. SAD
@ThW5 Yes. It was. I lived there for 3 amazing years with my family and felt safe and loved. But since a certain event in 2016 it has been on a steady decline and now it seems to get worse every day
Its no wonder after listening to Rafael Maddow.
@Whitey Powers <<--- then go to RT troll.
@Duane Hall Just waiting to see Rafael’s final transformation and then I’ll be gone.
Watching tRump turn his head to look at dr wearing mask as his chosen dog lies and said vaccine will be ready by end of year. Even tRump can’t believe it. Finally someone will tell the ‘tRuth’ says tRumpinski “I actually got someone to believe my feelings “
they also didn’t like the CDC guidelines for re-opening so they made them dumber and more flexible because medical advice is too hard for trumpy
There is no one size fits all solution, therefore the govenors are in control as they see fit. Some are doing it right and some are dragging their feet(open church but leave DMV, beaches, parks, etc. closed). Just keep in mind that many states only actually closed 10% of their economy.
@mike oren WAY OFF TOPIC HERE!
@Aaron Shruby : He has to say it to get his Russian food allotment. No BS no food.
Candyland is too hard for Trumpy.
Wendy’s Garden he should stick to playing monopoly
Trump: “Okay so look, I’m not a doctor.”
America: “Cool, then stfu!!!”
Trump:Okay so look, I’m not really a president of the U.S. I just play one on TV.
Said no American ever
They called it cubic because you have to be a blockhead to believe it.
lol
Funny!
A P No. Pope John Paul II – the last real born again Christian pope? – stated: “The fundamental error of socialism is … (it) considers the individual person simply as an element, a molecule‼️ within the social organism, so that the good of the individual is completely subordinated 💊to the functioning of the socio-economic 🐽
Correct.
Emily Turnage True, madcow lives in an arrogant leftist box, so her degenerated face became a blockhead?
Lol thats just really beautiful, lots of people are saying so, lets just all inject bleach and i have a superduper missle that no one can see cause its a secret…SPACE FORCE!
Just more snake oil projection. Lies lies and more lies.
@David Clark If I was as smart as you, I’d never leave my house.
@Valerie Boyco its not well put at all…you just have to watch the clip with trump talking about disinfectants…its clearly not what he meant…his whole paragraph is disingenuous tripe
David Clark write a book on your nonsense why don’t ya.
@ktwolnuts oh I’m aware of what he probably meant but so many people who don’t do research and just hang on every word he says as though it’s gospel believe him.
@David Clark sits to pee.
The model clearly shows that this virus will curve off into the gulf and blow itself out.
NO wait! That was the Florida hurricane map. Never mind it’s all the same.
@Nanc McDougall 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nanc McDougall 👈🏼 Somebody forgot to take their meds… 👨🏻⚕️
I agree. It is not the model which convinced “them” (i.e. Trump) to reopen the economy, is it. Reopening was “the White House’s” (i.e. Trump’s) foregone conclusion. That is, first came Mr. Trump’s decision to reopen. Then came Mr. Trump’s wish for something to justify opening up the economy. And THEN Mr. Hassett came up with the cubic model. Voilà! Now we can open up the economy. The cubic model shows it’s safe.
Google should a contained air pack be used in case of a biological weapon attack only PPE that can insure medical teams can survive eventually they will have to use SCUBA respirators or America is gone. IF IT WAS A WEAPON WE ARE LOSING IF IT WASN’T A WEAPON WE ARE LOSING MORE THAN ANYONE. We are throwing rocks at a tank.
People are receiving $600 more on plus regular pay!
Could this possibly be the biggest unemployment insurance scam ever?
America’s covid deaths per capita are 70x that of Australia, a very similar country. Explain that Mr Trump.
ruttles oh yeah, I forgot it’s an island with less population and extremely rural areas. You really needed that laid out? No wonder you watch CNN the bottom of the barrel for factual information.
This is Msnbc and any reputable poll will reveal that Fox is at the bottom when it comes to factual information…
@Klaus Van Heusen hey genius, Australia is a continent not an island.in your mind I suppose Africa and South America are islands too then, right? Our rural areas, per square mile are far more vast than Australia’s. Another dumb trumtard.
“Explain that Mr Trump”? It is easy to explain. Australia is not led by a mental patient with a severe case of NPD.
Hey if I don’t want to vote for Trump then I have to vote for Biden??😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
So Trump doesn’t like the reality since it doesn’t fit into his plan, so he made up a totally alternative reality. It’s not the first time. Trump’s pandemic action by now is a joke that foreign countries are using as case study of what not to do.
They must have stole New Zealand’s model, deaths were zero by May 15.
Gross incompetence!!!
This is what you get when you have a FAILED businessman as president.
@Whitey Powers, yes, my people! And yes I am a god, in the flesh… and so are you.
Oh, and a proud liberal. The best minds are liberated! Conservative minds are bound by traditions, customs and fear.
May I ask how is he failed if he was worth over 3 billion dollars before he got into the White House? Last time I checked he was a successful real estate mogul who owns a bunch of properties.
@Whitey Powers god is man made you are only talking to yourself
@Rob Shapiro Jesus was the fake. He was the first documented Jewish cult leader executed for his crimes against the king.
@Gary King Sorry but you’re wrong again
The other “Cubic” models were a Ouija Board and a seance with a Medium (high on hydroxychloraquine)
There was a high medium? That explains a lot!
So just the usual farcical and fantastical PR and slogans emanating from this Dumpster fire administration.
Elect a clown and you’ll get a circus!!! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
lol love it LOL
Like Obama?
True. But they went and elected an entire (red) circus too… So NOW what do we think they’ll be getting………..?
@Franz Huber Rhymes with yo mama….?
Malia De Los Angeles shouldn’t talk about Congress that way.
Well if you can change a hurricane’s direction with a sharpie, I believe that.
You’re a Fake American
liberals, they would believe grass is purple if the media told them so.
And of you believe the sharpi thing is true, your in the right place, cnn fairytale land.
Imagine another 4 years of this carry on OMG
