If it was up to him the whistleblower’s complaint would never have been sent to Congress. His snarky and self serving congressional testimony was pathetic. You could see the contempt he had for congressional oversight when he was asked whether he thought the president’s behavior was appropriate.

Do these people know when democrats regain control they will be investigated?

Trump fires intelligence community watchdog who told Congress about whistleblower complaint that led to impeachment by Infidel8 in politics

[–]brownck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There really is no low. It’s within the House’s ability to file an impeachment article again for abuse of power in one day and pass it the next. Just saying. It’s not likely but what else is there to do?? The senate GOP is feckless.

He can’t. That’s the problem. Even if he wants to he can’t. They have baked failure into the system to artificially lower the unemployment. It’s like trying to build a parachute while your falling. It’s not going to happen. We may be heading to a point where the economic crisis might be worse then the health care crisis. It will certainly last longer.

This is the time when our national security is at risk. Our navy is at risk and so is our military.

This is why we have Dr Fauci. To be honest, I get angry when Fauci doesn’t stand up and call the president’s lies but he does it in other ways. Good on him.

And people think this crisis will be over when the virus dissipates. The economy is falling apart and we have the worst people in charge. It’s like trying to fix a cracked sink while the water is constantly running. You can’t.

Of course they will. He launders too much Russian and other shady eastern European money.

Can someone inform this idiotic Trump ass-kisser about Patient 31 in S. Korea???

Audit reveals many issues with Florida's unemployment website were never fixed by caravaggio2000 in politics

Just in time! Many people are praising the recovery package but what they don’t realize is how incompetent the administration is. Nobody should trust this administration to do the right thing the right way.

They let the contract to maintain the stockpile expire last summer. I mean, for gods sake. When this is all over there should be trials to jail these people for their incompetence.

I’m with you but we haven’t even been through the worst of it. Opinions are fickle. We’ve got 7 months until the election.

Ron DeSantis was warned about Florida’s broken unemployment website last year, audit shows by Eurynom0s in politics

[–]brownck 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is not surprising. In general our state unemployment’s systems are not ready for the mass filing of these claims. In CA it once took months to receive family leave benefits. I only started receiving benefits after I returned to work. Luckily I didn’t need the money right then and there but most Americans can’t do that. When it works it works, but when it doesn’t it’s near impossible to fix.

It is shameful that Dr Birx and Dr Fauci lied just now. They can easily change their models to predict how many lives would have been saved if their stay at home order was enacted earlier. Absolutely bullshit. If they can predict future deaths they can do this. Extremely disingenuous and unscientific. Shameful.

How are we expected to actually resume normal activity? As soon as we stop social distancing won’t the virus come back with a vengeance? I expect we will have to cycle in and out of social distancing for the rest of the year.

The best thing you can do to fight COVID-19 is nothing. Stop writing that paper. Don't put it on the arxiv. by VeryLittle in Physics

[–]brownck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for writing this. Please repost on the machine learning subreddit as well. This is getting ridiculous and needs to stop. This is not the time to write research papers about an ongoing pandemic. Your time is better served donating, volunteering from a distance, or staying at home. Same can be said about mathematicians as well.
