President Trump is looking to wind down the White House coronavirus task force in the coming weeks even as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. continues to rise, the New York Times reported.

Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump appointed to lead the task force, confirmed that such a plan was in the works on Tuesday. “I think we’re having conversations about that and about what the proper time is for the task force to complete its work and for the ongoing efforts to take place on an agency-by-agency level. And we’ve already begun to talk about a transition plan with FEMA,” Pence told reporters.

“But it’s — it really is all a reflection of the tremendous progress we’ve made as a country.”

Touring a mask production facility in Phoenix, Ariz., on Tuesday, his first public event outside the White House in weeks, Trump confirmed that he was disbanding the task force.

not that anyone is going to miss the nazi press sprays -

but from the beginning - the CDC - should have been the ONLY ones briefing the country and a health czar should have been installed to oversee the entire response -

beginning with testing -

but I guess the whistleblower hearings - and any other witnesses and documents that arise from those hearings will shed more light -

however - make no mistake -

thousands more will needlessly die and the shift has happened -

trump will now shift blame to the governors and the states

"we did a beautiful job - and when we disbanded the task force - there were only 70000 dead - now there is _______ dead!"


this virus is just an "inconvenience" for his political re-election campaign...

Having already failed to use his broad executive powers to organize containment of COVID-19, solve supply chain issues and acquire badly needed testing materials and PPE, Trump is now giving up on mitigation.

His taskforce appears mainly to have steered contracts the well connected. Figures Trump would grift the federal response while cocking it up for experienced managers at FEMA.

Cant win this one, on to the next.
It really makes sense that any presser coming from the WH should be about anything but our current health situation.

If the goal for the United States is to try and create divisions so that you can rule over a country he is accomplished.

If the goal is to solve problems by further the interests of a United group, like Health Care, Infrastructure, lack of Debt for future generations, cleansing DC of special interests, then Trump is a perfect idiot.

If the goal is to create divisions via wealth, get rid of abortions (aka choice), create a permanent underclass, let business thrive via ruining the environment, expand xenophobia, he has been wonderful and his additions to the courts have been fantastic.

He leads by division.
This is extraordinarily unhealthy and not sustainable for a democracy that requires a thriving, educated, middle class.

Because nobody in this country would do, or, stand for a 30 day lock down. Not even close. You can't go 1/2 ass. You either shut it all down for 30 days minimum, or, you gamble that "piling up on the streets" won't happen, like I gambled that we'd never beat the Obama mark.

Everybody wants the other guy to lock down. It's a hoot watching 'em.

& you're right about the (herd), hater. In the end that is where we'll settle, where we can actually SEE for ourselves the results, make a stand instead of listening to all this science. They're as lost as us common people. They don't know anymore than we do. And there is satisfaction in their lack of result, ruled by arrogance. Sure, it costs lives, but, they're total shit and it's in plain sight.

They're already there. Look at the sick leave bill that exempted pretty much all the major employers of this nation but gave congress something to pretend they did for the people. Look at the corporate bailout that was a bait and switch from Trump and Mnuchin where Mnuchin kept telling the media about two $1200 checks but only ended up giving one, where there was supposed to be unemployment paid but that lasted a month and then Trump and the red states opened back up to not pay it. And it was a nightmare to sign up for. Pure bait and switch to get the corporate bailout passed. Look at the Payheck Protection Program that largely served as a bank bailout in at least the first round since banks just prioritized businesses that owed them money.

You make some great points and I won't argue against them. I would say before they have hundred percent control they will need to privatize all public schools,police dept,fire dept, destroy the United Postal Service which they are on the verge. Once they do that they will need to pass new amendments to change the constitution to their liking so they will always have supreme power. This article down below details the endgame pretty well by the rich.

No, no ,no
Obama could have played the race card to the hilt and he did not.
The press however, could have been much more critical on policy, especially foreign policy, and they may have laid off at first because "the first black president"
Dont revise what I did see.
Obama also pick some of the sleasiest .. Holder, Rahm Emanuel for important positions. Compared to Trump though, holy shit. His entire WH is adrift with grifting liars. You have to be to stay with him.
So Ill be damned if thats my team, especially Dollar Bill Clinton.
Clinton lied straight in to the TV. A big lie. He basked in power once there and used the fact that he was an incredibly good speaker to gain even more.
But I will say both of these men were gifted intellectually.

However, Trump has lied and misrepresented on such an unprecedented scale (lies when he does not even need to) its really become common place; accepted.
No, no no you wont pull the old card on me "you have seen it all". Even though I respect people who live fully through it.
