Don't Panic! Lighten Up!
"Right now, we have record joblessness, and GDP is certainly going to take a huge hit," said Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. "That's exactly what you want in an election year when you're running against an incumbent. If we reverse that too soon, we're basically helping Trump's reelection."
"If we reopen now, it could be an absolute disaster," added Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "We could have people in November saying, 'Wow. Things are getting better. Trump is doing a great job.' It's hard to imagine anything worse than that."
Pelosi and Schumer said that "out of an abundance of caution," they need to wait to make sure things stay pretty bad until after the election, as that will be the only way to stave off another Trump term.
"Oh, and I guess if we reopen things too soon," Schumer added as an afterthought, "it could also lead to a resurgence of people dying."
"Well, we'd have to hope," Pelosi said, "or it would look like Trump knows what he's doing."

I can't tell anymore. And I'm being serious.
And your question is easily turned around on you, your not biased to the left at all are you? You leftists have projection down to an art, don't you?
If it's so right leaning, why are you here? Other than to troll? Leftists always hide behind their keyboard and form little woke mobs on Twatter. Get you guys in the open you soon shrink to nothing and then go running to the police, which is ironic considering people like you are calling to defund the police.
Go back to Twatter and try and bully JK Rowling with the rest of your Wokie friends.

OdinJordan it's becoming clear SOTT is now right leaning. And that's depressing.No...what is depressing is the fact that there are so many people like you out there that lack critical thinking skills and still buy into the whole 'left and right' paradigm and in doing so you keep the criminal enterprise known as Uncle Scam in business. Furthermore, labeling people is not useful and just tends to highlight the fact that the one applying labels is lazy and/or generally lacking in cognitive ability.

I found this to be an interesting watch. It goes into the powers behind the powers. Rings within rings within rings I think was said. [Link]
