"SNIP.....

Calls are growing for Donald Trump and Mike Pence to resign over ending the White House Coronavirus Task Force and let Nancy Pelosi handle the virus.

Trump admitted in Arizona that he is closing down the task force, and moving on to another phase, “I think we are looking at phase two, and we’re looking at other phases.”

Mike Pence told reporters earlier in the day that the coronavirus task force would be disbanding in a month.

MoveOn Executive Director Rahna Epting responded to the administration’s decision said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA, “Over one million are sick. Over 67,000 are dead. If Trump and Pence don’t want to do their jobs, they should resign and give Nancy Pelosi a chance. What a disgrace.”

Trump and Pence don't want to do their jobs, thousands of Americans are dying, and it IS a disgrace. Get out of the way, gentlemen.

That won't happen. There is more to this than meets the eye.

Trump and the GOP smell blood now. They are going in for the kill. With the crisis at hand, from the actions we have seen, this is a no holds bar game where they want to stay in power indefinitely and may stop at nothing. They have six-months, which is way too much time for them to be able to take advantage of this crisis, and they will.

Do you think they won't take advantage of any weaknesses after what you have seen? They are playing this as "us" and "them". We are the "them".

That's my opinion for now.

Christie was wrong, Churchill with the English people fought for the soul of their country. t-rump and the republican party just gave up. Governors, mayors and legislators, with doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery clerks, police, et al., are on the frontline without the USA government.

This is courage and we will win.

may not have come to this level. Well, we all know that's a fair certainty. Democrats lead. rePuticans rob, cheat, and steal.
