Gunnar: We would have handled the COVID pandemic much better than it was handled during Trump's administration. Our country has only about 5% of the world's population and more that 20% of the deaths from it. What better evidence can you have that the Trump handled the pandemic worse than almost any other national leader on earth? Trump had stupidly dismantled the pandemic response team that Obama had set up, that would have been very helpful in combatting the pandemic and had already been very effective in handling and averting the potential Ebola threat and others that we don't usually hear about because they were effectively averted.
What does that have to do with Powell, and the Scheme? Lets focus on the subject at hand. If we were to go back and forth on covid we could start with Fauci and how more Americans died under Biden than Trump. How little children were forced to wear masks, when they did no good. And a lot more. The NY Governor and nursing homes. There is enough blame to go around for the disaster that was created by covid, and how it was handled by both Trump and Biden I hope we can stay on topic with Whitehouse's speeches.

So can we agree, that if Clinton had won in 2016 the scenario would be in reverse and Whitehouse would not be preaching what he is preaching?

And can we agree, both parties use dark money as a means to an end to battle each other for political power?

Considering how often and easily little children will dress up and wear masks for playtime and Halloween, I suspect that the biggest problem there was that their parents were tossing fits because of their own hangups regarding masks.

If only Trump had been in office at that time, so that he and Fox News could have told everyone to just put that flimsy little cloth mask over their mouth and nose, to buck up and be strong, and not be ‘Panicans’, like last week’s messaging during the market free falls. For America!, right?

Oh, wait. He was President then. But he was too busy trying to divide Americans over the issue.

Gunnar: Yes, the Republicans are indeed dirty here, much more so than the Democrats.
Again.... https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-e ... r-n1239830

In listening to your recommended video series, I am at #10.... so far Whitehouse has not been critical of the democrats use of super pacs and dark money. Zero, unless we count Powell as the author or the "scheme."

Here are two links to the right wing pac's since 2000, and the left wing pac from 2000....compare them, and then let me know why Whitehouse is singling out the right wing for using dark money?
