Say a little prayer for Federalism

Funny, but I heard several governors interviewed after they discussed this with Trump and they liked. So did an Uber critic of CNN, I forget her name.

I guess opinions will vary.

Oh and McKinsey is involved too. Both sides no less.

Governors would like the fact that trump backed of his ‘total authority’ and ‘mutiny on the bounty’ talk.

What do you think of it?

McKinsey, what did you think of that? Both sides.

Yeah, Trump embarrassed himself, I guess Barr told him even monarchy has its limits. Haha.

What do you think of the plan, I mean? such as it is.

I think that testing is going to be real problem for a while and you need to be very careful on that subject because if that is gating you can kiss our livelihoods good bye. So the plan has inherent risk but gives governors an excuse to open things up before they become destitute.

[jon-nyc]

I think for NYMag to bill it ‘both sides of the coin’ is part of the problem.

As a former partner at a McKinsey competitor I could imagine working with either group.

Fucking hell, he's got some stones.

Well either that, or he's completely off his head.

It's either an abundance of stones or a dearth of marbles.

I usually don’t think - “that’s not real” when I see a Trump tweet. That was my first thought when I saw this one.

Same.

Then I chuckled. The amount this president flip-flops makes John Kerry look like a statue.

Normally, I'd be laughing my ass off, but he's just sucked all the fun out of this epidemic.
