Some guy named Rick Santelli is apparently a commentator on CNBC. He’s not a Republican politician, but I guess he’s a conservative and often credited with helping to spark the Team Party movement. So, he probably doesn’t belong in this thread, but it’s a near a fit as I can come up with.
Anyway, on CNBC today he casually suggested that it would be better for the stock market if we gave coronavirus to “everyone” all at once to “get it over with”. See, the uncertainty of this crisis is causing havoc in the markets, and the death rate is going to be the same no matter what, so just infect everyone and be done with it. It’s like ripping the bandaid off all at once instead of a little at a time, I guess. Maybe there’s some context before the clip that makes it clear he’s using an absurd counter argument or something, because if not he just thinks a few hundred million deaths is no big deal when there are profits to be made.

Two days before the 2018 election, then-Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced that he was investigating election fraud by the state’s Democratic Party. The state Attorney General’s office has closed the investigation, claiming they found no evidence to substantiate the now-Governor’s claims.
So, that’s $50,000 and 50 years for her, right? After all, it’s only the Democrats that support this namby-pamby concurrent sentences, isn’t it? Surely a “tough on criminals” Republican would want her to get the max and serve the sentences consecutively.
One of the people whom Individual 1 pardoned is running for Congress against civil rights icon John Lewis. Her name is Angela Stanton, and she decided to add -King to her name because she’s running in Atlanta and she claims Martin Luther King’s niece informally adopted her. She’s virulently anti-gay even though she has a gay son. She claims that Lewis might have been a civil rights activist, but he’s pro choice and she’s campaigning on an anti-choice platform. She runs a vanity publishing company and was convicted of being involved in a car theft ring. https://www.ajc.com/news/after-getting-trump-pardon-angela-stanton-king-sets-sights-lewis/FEhk2wJ9KBIBr6Vj48cnWJ/
Matt Gaetz, who showed up last week on the floor of the House wearnig a gas mask to mock the coronavirus fears, has announced that he is self-quarantining.
The National Association of Immigration Judges reports on Twitter that the Executive Office for Immigration Review has ordered immigration court staff to remove CDC posters designed to slow spread of coronavirus.
So far, the tweet is the only cite I have found. I would be entirely unsurprised to find this true (hell, CBP-ICE doesn’t even want to supply toothpaste to the kids!), but so far I can’t verify it anywhere else.
Gaetz was potentially exposed at the CPAC conference last week. Louie Gohmert also had contact with the same person who tested positive, but he has decided to return to work at Congress, so as not to appear to submit to a hoax.
