Wow

  The level of outrageous incompetence and secrecy in the GOP is beyond comprehension. They knew what was coming yet they said nothing, nothing.

NPR: Intelligence Chairman Raised Virus Alarms Weeks Ago, Secret Recording Shows
On Feb. 27, when the United States had 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19, President Trump was tamping down fears and suggesting the virus could be seasonal.

"It's going to disappear. One day, It's like a miracle. It will disappear," the president said then, before adding, "it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We'll see what happens."

On that same day, Burr attended a luncheon held at a social club called the Capitol Hill Club. And he delivered a much more alarming message.

"There's one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history," he said, according to a secret recording of the remarks obtained by NPR. "It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic."

They gave time for the insiders to put their bets down on which stocks would thrive after a shutdown. The GOPUTIN has already shown us it care NOTHING about the rest of us.

Oh yeah, advanced word for some strategic fiscal planning. They do not care about the rest of us. You must be part of the party and you must have the bank account. It's an exclusive country club like Mar-a-lago.
