Jake Tapper pushed back on Larry Kudlow, who was laser focused on rallies and the economy and not about how to protect citizens from contracting COVID.

The White House does not care if you get COVID. They do not care if you die from COVID. They do not care if you pass COVID on to your kids, your parents, your coworkers or your friends.
The White House only cares about the economy and allowing Trump to hold rallies. That is their only two priorities right now. They have made it clear for months and they have zero plans to let up on those goals, even after Donald Trump himself contracted COVID just 9 days ago.
Jake Tapper interviewed Larry Kudlow, who actually appeared to not be under the influence of anything today. Good job, Larry! Jake hammered Kudlow on the lack of social distancing at the BLEXIT event on Saturday and the continued focus on having more rallies.
Kudlow did not seem to care about the risks at all.

Now this is from a economic advisor, who should be hammering #Moscow Mitch about a stimulus relief and the "only' thing he is worried about is getting his bio-hazard buddy out on the campaign trail...........

WH cares NOTHING about nor UNDERSTANDS anything about the economy, other than Mnuchin who understands it but is the LAST person who should have anything to say about it, at this point given who's ass he kisses.
WH is traitor, traitor knows NOTHING about business or the economy.
He knows NOTHING about the stock market but his son in law told him if the market is doing good, he will do good.
END OF STORY
AND FUCK YOU LARRY KUDLOW

(31,121 posts)and then I went to another one that took longer to load than it EVER has and a thought hit me: If I wanted to fuck with America and distract them from an election, for instance, or a coup, I would hack their banking system and in an instant drain every single bank or savings or market account, Morgan Stanley, etc.
Whether the money was really stolen by putin or not, the chaos would be insurmountable.
I am the guy who thinks of the worst possible shit that can happen, I then ASSUME the GOP or traitor or putin will do that and then I hope people will at least think about what to do in case it does.
GOP could be up for doing this too, actually...as long as they have control of it.
All because "I just cant trust her" or "I will hold my nose"

(65,165 posts)Anybody who still adheres to supply-side, doesn't really know much about how the economy works.
He may understand finance & investment, but I'm convinced he's knows nothing more about the macroeconomy than anybody else in the WH.

(31,121 posts)these things?
Every single action by the GOP and their economic advisers like him and others hurts the economy and Americans and only helps the top 1%, by now you would hope more voters noticed this.

(65,165 posts)...believing the stock markets are the economy.
Pretty clear signal that they don't really get how a giant economy actually works.
I'm going with ignorant. And the mega money crowd finds them useful idiots because they get even richer.

(12,676 posts)Their economy is all about leveraging other people's labor and capital to make money for them - i.e., grifterism. They don't actually do anything that doesn't provide a quick profit for them or their friends.
An economy is about manipulation and/or maintenance of resources to sustain an effort or organization. They have the manipulation part down, but not the maintenance part.
