GOP Maryland Governor: Now Is ‘The Worst Possible Time’ To Reopen Economy

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) stated in no uncertain terms on Thursday that reopening the economy right now during the COVID-19 outbreak really isn't an option, despite President Donald Trump's wishes.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) stated in no uncertain terms on Thursday that reopening the economy right now during the COVID-19 outbreak really isn’t an option, despite President Donald Trump’s wishes.

“It’d really be the worst possible time for us to try to put more people out there and endanger them,” the governor said during an interview on NBC’s “3rd Hour of TODAY.”

Hogan, who leads the National Governors Association, mentioned that he and his colleagues would be speaking to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence later on in the day to discuss the federal government’s guidelines.

However, there are several “building blocks” that all the states need to attain before they allow non-essential businesses to reopen, according to Hogan: Increased testing, the ability for health experts to do contact tracing, procuring all the PPEs that medical professionals need and ensuring the hospitals have the overall capability to handle the outbreak.
...............................................................................................................
Instead of forming a task force to open the economy Capt. Chaos should form one to organize the steps necessary to open parts of it in the safest way possible.

Remember when the ACA website problems were mercilessly criticized by conservatives?

IRS’s coronavirus stimulus check tracking tool is not working for some people

IRS's coronavirus stimulus check tracking tool is not working for some people

A tool launched Wednesday by the Internal Revenue Service to track Americans' stimulus relief checks is not working for many, according to individuals who reached out to CNBC Make It.

www.cnbc.com

Don.............he gets a pass from the cult of Trumpery.

Caused by incompetence, of course.

From your article:
"In most cases, this happened because the system was overloaded, Luis Garcia, an IRS spokesperson, told CNBC Make It. "


YOUR incompetence in not reading the article.

I read it. It's the same problem the ACA website had. But that didn't stop regressives from harping about it for months.

The problem - well, ONE of the problems - is that virtually everything Trump says and does first passes through the prism of what his base will think about it.

And what the base thinks about it is shaped by it passing through the prism of Faux, a euphemism for all of the right wing media sound machine.

Without Faux there is no doubt that hairdo pretending to be the POTUS (piece of total unmitigated shit) would have approval ratings well below 40%...............perhaps below 30%.

How big is his base ?

How many people watch Fox ?

Is the Gov. of MD simply stating the facts? Yes.

Trumpism isn't about Trump. It's about the people who adore him, spin for him, attack for him, and enable his worst impulses.

He's just one guy. The problem is, there are plenty of examples in history of "just one guy" doing a lot of damaged when enabled by sycophants.

The senate democrats don't want to extend any benefits, so lets see who can hold their breath longer, the states that reopen their economies or those that stay shutdown.

LOL!! Deflection? How long do you think you can keep Biden in the safe room?
Sooner or later Joe will be under that microscope in the bright light.....its just a matter of time.
Trump has been thru it all, and nothing matters, Biden can't hide forever.

The clueless rube known as the Groper-in-Chief's attempt to enlist corporate executives (like Vince McMahon) in a push to reopen parts of the economy is a disorganized, premature mess.
"It’s difficult to imagine a more rancid and more dangerous cross-pollination than that of Trump, DeSantis, and the WWE. Sure enough, the same day that McMahon announced that WWE would be doing live tapings in Florida, former Trump cabinet official Linda McMahon’s (former WWE executive and Vince’s spouse, of course) committed her Trump reelection PAC to spending $18.5 million in Florida in 2020.

Why Is Trump’s Inspector General Purge Not a National Scandal?

The removal of a couple of inspectors general for transparently—and in one case, admittedly—self-interested reasons no longer generates outrage.

After claiming COVID-19 was "under control" the US death toll has just exceeded 32,000 with over 600K confirmed cases.

No need to list the instances of abject failure by the admin in dealing with COVID-19, they are well documented and irrefutable.

Even as Vlad's favorite candidate seeks to boost his re-election chances by getting businesses up and running medical experts explain it is too early.

The Grifter-in-Chief has refused to comply with the legal requirement included in the relief bill he signed that gives oversight power to Congress with regard to the dispersal of funds to corporations.

AND THAT IS JUST THIS WEEK.

If any one of these things occurred during a Dem admin right wing media and Trumpleton's would be lighting their hair on fire. We would be hearing about them for months on end. Congressional investigations would be launched. But because President Shithole does the football equivalent of flooding the zone with illegal, immoral, incompetent actions one can hardly catch their breath before the next half dozen are unleashed.

The sheer volume of offenses is as disorienting as it is shocking. It's at this point when cultists typically invoke the TDS accusation. In reality, those who invoke it suffer from Trump Denial Syndrome.

It's fascinating to see what is considered a "scandal" by the left wing.

In the 1990s, Bill Clinton got money from a Chinese front company, in order to stamp his approval on the sale of high end missile guidance technology, which today China now has missiles that could destroy the GPS satellites.

That was, to the left-wing... not a scandal.

But today, Trump putting his name on stimulus relief checks.... now that's... that is a scandal.

Giving potential enemies of the US, missile tech that could be used in nuclear war... not a scandal. Name on check... holy crap! Huge scandal!

This is why Trump is president. You people are insane.
