Just let him keep talking, Laura.

President Donald Trump on Monday likened police officers who commit acts of brutality to golfers who “choke” and miss a 3-foot putt, resisting the real-time efforts of a conservative cable news ally to steer him away from the comparison.

When a golfer chokes, the ball is still okay.

The golfer loses a bet with his fellow players.

When a policeman chokes … well, George Floyd.

Now go to Google and ask “men who were choked by police.”

Last night I heard that more police have been killed by Coronavirus than killed in the line of duty.

Thanks to Steven for the heads up.

The Department of Health and Human Services just put out a $250 million contract to an ad agency to “defeat despair and inspire hope” about the Coronavirus.

The vast majority of the money will be spent between now and January.  Oh my.

Needless to say, the Department of Health and Human Services is in chaos.

Last Friday, Hahn removed the FDA’s top communications official, a political appointee, after only two weeks on the job and HHS ended a contract with a communications consultant close to Hahn. As part of the reasoning for severing the contract, chief of staff Brian Harrison pointed to HHS’ history of canceling outside contracts for personal communications consulting.

The revolving door of pubic service under Trump.

And the money.  All the money and all we got to show for it is some rich friends of Trump, kids in cages, and a boon to the funeral industry.
