Wuhan Lab Escape Theory Gains Traction

It is crazy the Dems and media would rather blame Trump than China and the WHO!
They went from the blame America first crowd to blame the American President first!

James, you are concerned with, "Recognizing unconscious biases.." and you are determining these issues by whether or not they help Trump politically? Is that a conscious bias?

I'm not quite sure I follow you, Mel, but let me clarify several things. First, yes, I can't stand Trump, and it's doubtful anyone could ever redeem him for me. Second, I am not naive enough to think that Trump is solely responsible for the inadequate response from the Federal Government regarding the Coronavirus. However, Trump is the leader of the executive branch of government, and as such, he wields considerable sway and power. Trump has the most potent bully-pulpit in the world, and his use of that influence affects outcomes significantly. And what does he do with it? Trump lies, and Trump rewrites history and plays the victim. Trump says he both takes no responsibility and has complete authority. In short, he squanders that influence, and instead of using it to unify and inspire, he uses it to degrade people and participate in divisive politics and spread disinformation. Lastly, I believe good people are working behind the scenes at the federal level, and certainly at the state, local, and regional levels that will make good things happen. However, they are succeeding despite Trump, not because of Trump.
My point was for somebody that is concerned with, "Recognizing unconscious biases..." you seem to determine the issues we discuss, China, the lab, the WHO, and others, solely whether or not they help or hurt Trump politically. Conscious bias?

Would you rather get into a car driven by Trump or Biden?

Most people complaining about Trump's mind will then vote for Biden's even worse state of confusion.

How many here think Reade is sounding more credible and would any Dem around here not vote for Biden if events added to her credibility?
The old video of Biden saying about Kavanaugh, "Number one, "It is an abuse of power and number two, women should be believed." is damaging.
Isn't it just nonsense that the more liberal media will not ask Biden about this?

I predicted he would not be the nominee. Surprised she will be the one to stop him.

This adds a lot of pressure on Biden's campaign.

Now Jason Nichols (U of Maryland) is saying the same.

Pressure is gaining momentum.

A loyal Republican would do all he could to defend Biden, the Dem that Trump would beat.

This seems like a change from her April 13 piece.
