    1. Don’t know why we don’t institute a UBI for the duration of this pandemic. Get the money out to the people monthly to keep them afloat and keep our economy on life support. Help keep more Americans isolated to stop the spread, allowing quicker recovery. It’s a no-brainer!

      Folks with a lien on their taxes got their stimulus checks confiscated by the government as debt collection. How does that help American citizens during a global pandemic, how does that reduce the burden on our health care systems and workers, and how does that help the U.S. stop the spread of this deadly pandemic within our borders? More insanity from the Trump administration, killing more Americans.

      What about all the self-employed folks not qualifying as a small business, thus unable to get a loan, and who couldn’t afford to pay back a loan, anyway? No unemployment checks, no employment. $1200 isn’t even enough for one month. Too many Americans falling through the cracks right now, forgotten. We can do better. We MUST do better!

    2. @wily wascal you see the situation as it is clearly.
      Now we need to find a way to change it.

  1. Not an issue that effects Trumptarian Cult Society Members. They think education, teeth , and health are overrated.

    1. @Robert The Bruce yeah, how could anyone doubt the words of Robert The Bruce. Definitely grounded in reality with a screen name like that.

    2. @Tom Bombadil yeah, the words of a deplorable degenerate joke of society, really don’t add up to much. Keep that ignorance for your hog roasts, muddin pits and freedom rallies where it has value.

    1. And historically don’t give a care about school districts where the tax base is low so how are they supposed to protect the students, faculty and staff?

    2. @Tamie Miller Yeah, that’s not going to help those public schools, nor will Betsy DeVos just telling them to “pay for private school.”

    3. The top universities are mostly infected with left-wing and communist politics. There’s not a lot of legitimate education there anymore.

  2. Andrea chainsaw Greenspan was at the State Dept Today .. Good thing she didn;t see me , Security would have never let me thru with my *MSNBCannibalDefenseShield*

  3. Colleges online courses typically are a different fee than on residence courses. Since an online course can be taken from any location with an internet access, schools shouldn’t be allowed to charge different fees to out-of-state students.

  4. Tape of Biden doing quid pro quo over phone with Ukraine is all over the internet now. Has msnbc done the story on this yet?

    1. @timber_beast not a transcript but the actual phone call audio is all over the internet. It was probably released by the Ukrainians. It is there for everyone to hear for themselves. Even you.

    2. @Elaine Gregurich the actual recording of the phone call is everywhere. What exactly are you calling fake?

  5. Why did the White House keep the CDC guidelines secret for over a month? How are schools supposed to plan without them?? This is crazy and dangerous.

    1. Hi and I agree.tRump wants the country open and this will feed his base.Sadly tRump and the virus is killing us.He should be held accountable for everything including his crimes.stay safe✌.

  6. You have a young group… No one is immune and anyone can dye from this virus. I hate when people speak and none of us know enough about this deadly virus!

    1. We know a lot, it’s been around for months and there’s tons of info out there. Just not on a horrible propaganda network like this one. This virus is no worse than a common cold for college age kids.

  7. A year from now people will remember that the media blew this way out proportion by constantly lying and pushing division of our people. Never a peep about China, just blaming every single person that doesn’t go along with their agenda, including their own people, like Vernon Jones.

    1. If you were dying of Covid 19, I would be there as a Nurse to care and comfort you. I will not say “I told ya so”. Please do not catch Covid 19, wear a mask and wash your hands.πŸ’œπŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

    2. @Robert The Bruce I am a Nurse, I would care for you if you were dying of Covid 19. Ya see, we in Healthcare do not play politics. We treat disease.

    3. @Nancy Chandler My wife is a nurse also. Just a few months ago she was seeing gunshot victims, now it’s mostly covid-19 patients but only the serious ones on ventilators. all the others are sent home. We are opning up and what people fail to realize is that there is NO cure. Vaccines are NOT a cure. It will continue to spread and those who are afraid should stay home. The others who want to work and go out to eat or/we just be safe, that’s it. these democratic governors keeping strict lockdowns and arresting/fining people is ludacris. Never will it hold up in court.

    4. If all the people who are not afraid of the virus were allowed to go about their business, while at the same time we isolate the old and infirm, the thing will blow through and peter out on its own, as it will have nowhere left to go. Shutting everything down drags it all out and makes us as a society forever susceptible to the virus, which is the worst possible strategy.

  8. colleges and universities are for large parties, sports, studying solo or in groups, and the occasional lectures. did i mention parties? did i talk about parties yet?

    1. Maybe for you. I worked 2 and 3 part time jobs. Still not a good way to keep from getting infected.

    1. I don’t care what everyone is saying Biden will NOT Crap his Diapers debating Trump 🀨

  9. It’s like rowing or paddling upstream, or into a stiff wind–if you ease-up too much or stop, you will only have to paddle twice as hard to make up all the previous hard-earned progress that was quickly lost. Failing to maintain isolation and other measures for sufficient time to stop the spread of COVID-19 transmission will cost U.S. more in time, effort, money, and LIVES. Reopening and relaxing measures too early in defiance of the science and data is the ultimate in colossal ignorance, greed, ruthlessness, and arrogance.

  10. Don’t know why we don’t institute a UBI for the duration of this pandemic. Get the money out to the people monthly to keep them afloat and keep our economy on life support. Help keep more Americans isolated to stop the spread, allowing quicker recovery. It’s a no-brainer!

    Folks with a lien on their taxes got their stimulus checks confiscated by the government as debt collection. How does that help American citizens during a global pandemic, how does that reduce the burden on our health care systems and workers, and how does that help the U.S. stop the spread of this deadly pandemic within our borders? More insanity from the Trump administration, killing more Americans.

    What about all the self-employed folks not qualifying as a small business, thus unable to get a loan, and who couldn’t afford to pay back a loan, anyway? No unemployment checks, no employment. $1200 isn’t even enough for one month. Too many Americans falling through the cracks right now, forgotten. We can do better. We MUST do better!

  11. “Everybody that needs a test can get one!” Except, EVERYONE needs testing! It’s not just about testing people who get sick, or even just those health care and other essential front-line workers, or those with a doctor referral. It’s really all about RANDOMIZED testing, and testing for TRACKING and containment. THOSE are the testing capabilities desperately needed to safely reopen the economy–which the U.S. sorely lacks. Besides lying about virtually non-existent testing capabilities at the time, while also continually misleading Americans by touting testing kits instead of actual testing ABILITIES, the dirty, dastardly, dynamic duo of Toxic TRUMP and Plague PENCE were moving the goal posts, hoping to “score” in a game with no winners. They scored big, alright…in dead American bodies.

  12. Rather entertained by Stavridis’ repeated reference to a “Rubrik’s Cube” — intentional pun given the importance of rubrics in an educational setting, or mangling of Rubik’s name?
