As for Pelosi, we don't know what happened. Either way Pelosi is an adult and should have the small level of self control and confidence to not get her hair done and live with bad hair. Such a ridiculous case of bad judgement, however small it may be. My 6 year old has better sense. This is a hilarious account of the "he said, she said" accounts of what went on between the stylist, owner, and Pelosi's team. Like I said, bunch of whiny school children. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...us/5708541002/

That would make the Woodward recordings moot. Right?

I hope that's a sarcastic comment because of 2 things:
1. The virus was already here, it has not caused country wide infection yet because it needs time to spread. So the fact that it wasn't a threat then did not mean it won't become one. 2. Trump showed in the recording that he knew this virus will cause wide spread infection and that it is much deadlier than a regular flu virus. In fact it has no known cure. His unwillingless to educate the public about the deadly potential of this virus directly caused 10s of thousands more death than is necessary. While the virus was always going to kill people, it would have killed much less people if the public were notified by the president of its actual potential to kill early on. But, like he said, he wanted to "play it down". So a big percentage of those dead is on him, not on anyone else. So why would Woodward's recording be moot??

The daily average of infection in California were slowing down in consecutive days as most businesses shut down and people started to stay home for everything except procuring food and emergency supplies. If memory serves we were one of the few states that actually showed a slow down on infection before the hasty reopening ruined everything. As a country we made many mistakes dealing with the pandemic. We were late in containing the virus, late in procuring PPP equipments, had no uniform strategy against a deadly virus, spent way too much and got too little result, and we dragged our feet in doing just about everything meaningful. Could the number of dead be 100,000 instead of 200,000? I believe so, if we did the right thing right from the start. This year should go down in history as a lesson for what NOT to do in the face of a new and unknown disaster.

What's the matter with Donald Trump.

I posted a CNN report about the virus being here late December. You said, “Happy is posting conspiracy theories”. His recordings are moot, because everyone was downplaying the virus. Maruzo, sarcasm is not my specialty.

No, the recordings are not moot. The recordings verify Trump knew the Coronavirus was deadly and choose to downplay it. He is still downplaying the virus. He is still not telling the truth. His excuse was he didn't want to cause panic. It was flat wrong to keep that information from the public. No one here would have panicked. He should have told the truth and championed the issuance of the guidelines and pressured the states to take immediate action and to err on the side of caution. He knew it was not a question if the virus would be a problem in the US it was only when.
This can't be rationalized away. Trump chose to downplay the danger of the virus so the economy and the stock market would not negatively react. All he had to do is layout the extent and urgency of addressing the problem then and what can happen if we don't all do our part. Here is what your government is doing and a timeline for the implementation of the plan. Here's what we are asking you to do for your country. Just answer the questions of what, when why and how in a plan stating the objectives, strategies and tactics to defeat the virus. Any business person of any consequence should be extremely adept and experienced using the process. What the Woodward tape exposes is he was and still is OK with betting our lives it would go away then and now that it is under control and we have turned the corner, it's going away. It's not going away.

But I also think there's going to be people who continue to interpret these facts differently than you and I. When bias sets in, no amount of truth is going to change their mind.

Well, I'll catch up with you guys after the sh*t show that is going to be the election. I've said enough and read enough for a bit. Good luck to you for your chosen candidates. Though, the outcome doesn't really matter. The wealth gap will continue to grow, as will the national debt. But if the Democrats don't fumble the ball I think they're going to walk away with more than just the presidency. I vacillate between Biden and third party... we'll see how I feel in the booth. They're all crooks.

I like to think it'll be for the better. Like you said before, the election isn't just about the presidency, there's the local elections and the state level as well. They are all important in their own way. Although I have to say I'm vastly disappointed at what came out from the orange bang these last few years.
