9. Wherever you go, click the link to the NYT story.

At the bottom of that story, you can click to see a PDF of the full 80 pages. Open that in Adobe Reader and save it to your hard drive. That will let you read it at your own pace. It will also ensure that you have a copy, in case this is pulled.

Here's the link to the full PDF file:

13. in 2014 elections republicans used ebola very successfully and were planning to use it again imo

the trail is there and the reporting should be done. they were getting ready to use ebola again but then there were advances in treatment. and then came covid and they were too stupid to realize the difference in ability to contain.

for ebola 2014 GOP got a lot of congress and senate by blaming obama and scaring everyone. muelller report target jerome corsi wrote about it all through oct and limbaugh mentioned it regularly in oct too. all stopped after the election success.

2019 ebola in congo was used too with limbaugh and sons talking about congolese in the caravans 'invading' the border. social media was used in congo to make that worse - getting locals to attack the clinics. they wanted to use it again.

any reference to ebola by trump re covid should be a red flag for media to follow. someone should ask trump about ebola at one of these blowhard sessions of his and let him link and compare.

14. History will not be kind to this administration.

With this much record of the timeline it is easy to see that trump was a fool who either let it happen on purpose or simply failed to respond because he was so dumb he could not wrap his head around it.

Of course, I fail to mention that it could also be his handlers wanting to plunge the country into chaos so they can rob the treasury even more and get their hands on more power. I shudder to think that those pulling strings behind the scenes are going to attempt a coup and pull democracy down. If the people start starving and protesting, I fear what this administration might enact to squash any rebellion by people impacted by this calamity.

[Efilroft Sul]

33. Well, hell! Glad I wasn't the only person thinking about it that way.

Congrats, then, to applegrove.

[grumpyduck]

26. Well, Mr. Muller disappointed a lot of people

so let's hope that this turns into another Pentagon Papers and that someone like Bob Woodward goes after it.

[Cha]

28. Slow as HELL

[demtenjeep]

29. of course he did

we all know it

[RVN VET71]

30. The Democrats have to compare the warnings in these emails with Trump's slow response

He still hasn't taken meaningful action. His rhetoric is empty and changes with the wind blowing through his head. Without Fauci and Brix, and State leaders like Cuomo, Hogan, Newsom, and DeWine, there'd be thousands more deaths from covid-19, and even as the death toll rises, the president still calls for consideration to re-opening the country to business as usual in a month. A month!

He's wishing real, real hard for the stock market to get back on track, and to that end he is willing to kill 1,000s of Americans. I guess his thinking is that only people who die -- and their close relatives and friends -- will really care about the dead. And fully half of those relatives and close friends will be blaming Obama and Clinton anyway. The rest of us, he feels, will be like him: concerned about money not human lives that are not connected to us directly.

So, he feels with his brain, if the stock market goes back up, he'll win in November because most Americans (I think he actually believes this) will have forgotten the dead and those who suffered permanent debilitation because of covid-19 because, hell, look at the wealth moving around!

(And, in any case, there is always the old lying GOP's fallback of blaming problems you cause on your enemies. Damn you Obama! Why isn't he in jail for crippling our ability to respond to covid-19? And Hillary, too -- you have to believe, people, that those 30,000 emails contained information about pandemics and how the Dems could politicize it and blame the GOP, etc. etc.)

35. Yeah this is hitting him where he lives and he doesn't like it.

Trump's whole thing the last year and a half has been how great the economy is. Well since the pandemic was declared, the economy has gone to hell in a hand basket because we were totally unprepared and ill informed about this. Now he's trying to weasel his way out of this and taking the lazy man's way out - by not listening to experts and pretending that it doesn't exist. His sheer, utter incompetence is going to get a lot more people killed than needed to be.

He's a spoiled toddler if he doesn't get his way, he goes and cries to mommy (Fox News) about it. He is totally unfit to lead us through this horrible crisis.
