Ren Zhiqiang, retired Chinese real estate tycoon, calls Xi a clown for his handling of the crisis.

Ren Zhiqiang suddenly goes missing.

Methinks he got Epsteined.

On another note, the panic is causing some legislators to reconsider the single-use plastic bag ban, as people are not washing their reusable bags and they’re accumulating (and spreading) dangerous bacteria. I don’t think it will change any laws already in place, but it could slow the implementation in other areas.

Markets are crashing so Trump delayed his coronavirus briefing until 3:30 again so he can try to pump them up with facts I don't like.

Also, it looks like its going to a crazy week in the Senate since McConnell failed to take care of the FISA extension last week, so they are bogged down by parliamentary rules that could be theoretically accelerated if they have unanimous consent, which means it just takes one wacko Republican like Rand Paul or Tom Cotton to slow everything down. The snafu even requires the House to re-vote on the coronavirus bill, which again, could be easy if they get unanimous consent, but considering 40 Republicans voted no to the aid, its going to be a circus. Help probably isn't coming until next week.

This so much. This just goes to show how much these losers actually care about the people.

Quick, we have a politically expedient opportunity to pass a whole bunch of pork! Better get all our hopes and dreams in there, and if the bill doesn’t go through we can just blame the other party! Look at how much we care about the actual crisis!

I would ask for examples of these supposed "earmarks" in the coronavirus bill but I know you guys are just doing your standard spin.

Maybe Trump didn't get his own memo, but saying this could last until July or August caused the market to lose 3,000 points, worst loss ever. Think what will get an autograph?

Alleged farmer and actual very stupid congressman Devin Nunes:

If You're Healthy, 'It's a Great Time to Just Go Out'
California Republican's advice clashed with what health agencies are recommending

Newser

Quote:
Nunes said: "There’s a lot of concerns with the economy here because people are scared to go out. But I will just say, one of the things you can do is, if you’re healthy, you and your family, it’s a great time to just go out, go to a local restaurant. Likely you can get in easily. Let’s not hurt the working people in this country that are relying on wages and tips to keep their small business going." The Post notes he also suggested people "go to your local pub" instead of going crazy stockpiling food.
Remember gang, this fool has sued an imaginary cow.

It was dropping well before that. Nice spin, though.

Its not spin, but I'm sure you would like to believe its a coincidence that Trump timed his press conference 30 mins before the market closes, announced an aggressive plan to turn the corner on the virus in a mere 15 days (despite the CDC saying no groups for 8 weeks) that seems specifically designed to once again pump up the stock markets, only to derail his own efforts minutes later. Surely, a coincidence.

ISIS tells terrorists to steer clear of coronavirus-stricken Europe

Terror group advises hand washing rather than attacks on the West.

Politico

Quote:
Islamic State (ISIS) has adopted a safety-first approach to the coronavirus pandemic and advised its members not to travel to Europe, Homeland Security Today reported.

In the latest edition of the terrorist group’s al-Naba newsletter, the editors who normally urge followers to carry out attacks on the West instead ask them to "stay away from the land of the epidemic" for the time being.

In a full-page infographic on the back cover, a list of pro-tips instructs militants on how to stop the pandemic's spread. ISIS members are advised to "put trust in God and seek refuge in Him from illnesses," but to also "cover the mouth when yawning and sneezing," and to wash their hands frequently....

ISIS leaders are old and don't want to die.

How many times do you have to blow yourself up before you get promoted to leadership?

The talking heads on TV told me to panic. They said this is worse than watching that movie Armageddon with Ben Affleck.
