Is this a joke? OBP's link was literally to a table of death rates (not testing rates). We're not talking about testing.

This is a bridge too far even for you. Something is up with your account.

The U.S. comprises about 4.5% of the world population and has approximately 30% of the worlds deaths due to coronavirus.

What is the true rate of China Flu infections?

I gave you the world death rate compared to the U.S. death rate because that gives a fairly good idea of what a terrible job this Administration has done in dealing with this pandemic. The world death count is approximately 320,000 and the U.S death count is approximately 96,000.

Taxpayers paid for food, a harpist, and goody bags for Pompeo's frequent 500-guest formal dinners:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo regularly held taxpayer-funded, 500-guest formal dinners...

Pompeo often invited hundreds of guests to the U.S. State Department for his "Madison Dinners," referring to how former President James Madison often met with foreign diplomats over a meal. But unlike Madison, Pompeo invited more than just diplomats to his dinners, and sent the bill for food, entertainment, and goody bags to the U.S. government...

...just 14 percent were actually involved in foreign policy. Some of those less diplomatic invitees included Reba McEntire, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, and they all enjoyed harp music and embossed Madison Dinner pens and journals to take home.

...one senior Trump administration official said "if the president knew about any of this, he would have fired Pompeo months ago."

I'm kinda stunned at just how much Republicans misuse the taxpayer dime. A harpist?

Does the scumbaggery and grift ever cease with these guys? And now Trump's fired the guy investigating Pompeo.

Happened under Obama too (see GSA 800,000 dollars party scandal).

From https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...s-bill/329797/

Martha Johnson, chief of the General Services Administration, and two of her top executives resigned today. You probably would too if you spent over $800,000 of taxpayer dollars on an extravagant "conference" off of the Las Vegas Strip. If you don't know the General Services Administration (GSA) was created to, in their words, "streamline the administrative work of the federal government" and it "oversees the business of the U.S. federal government." Somehow, Johnson and her crew parlayed those tenets into a "regional meeting" in Henderson, Nevada (having the discretion to not be at a hotel on The Strip--that's a modicum of modesty right?).

Since you agree the two scandals are equivalent I'm sure you will also call for Pompeo's resignation ;).

Of course she won't. The consistent hypocricy of many republicans/conservatives, specifically many of them on this site, they always make so shamelessly apparent. They never seem to see the reality of the frauds in their own party, of the swamp of fraudulent toadies Trump formed in his administration, of their corruption, of their abuse of power, of their disregard for, and their violations of, the Constitution. They never see it, or they choose not to accept the facts of it when they see it, but instead they alway, always, defend the frauds and the crooks. This is the party that is always boasting about their morality, their patriotism, about their love of country and its Constitution, of Liberty and law. But like the leaders they elect, they show themselves to be just as fraudulent, just as unpatriotic, just as undemocratic, just as immoral as the people they elect. So no, Lilpix doesn't have it in her to admit to Pompeos abuse of power, would never call for his resignation, anymore than she could admit to Trumps corruption and abuse of power. She's on the team, good or bad, she's on the team, and though the team is corrupt, it's still her team., and she will defend them till the end, regardless.

My God, Jim, your hatred is palpable. As is your chicken little routine. It's pathetic.

For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

The only reason you think that is because of TWeb group think.
