I decided to watch Rachael Maddow's show on MSNBC last night ... or at
least tried to.

She spent at least a half hour blasting Trump for his announcement of
a temporary ban on immigrants applying for green cards, etc., in her
annoying, lecturing way.

Her reasons were that there is no evidence that immigrants entering the
USA are carrying the covid-19 virus and she pointed out that the
spread of the virus was happening from *within* the USA, not from
people entering from the southern border.

WTF?

Trump never gave spreading of the virus as a reason for his temporary
ban. Never uttered a word of this.

His reason was the fact that there are 22 million unemployed
Americans right now and they should have first shot at jobs
as the shut-down of the economy is relaxed and people are able
to go back to work.

He has *never* said it has anything to do with spreading the virus.

Maddow is an intelligent person. I used to watch her show fairly
regularly before all this political division started.

Does she really believe the bull**** she delivers or has
MSNBC made it a requirement culturally and politically to
just make **** up?

Richard, I believe both. She has an image to maintain, and can come up with some bazaar things for a waiting and hungry crowd. Really amazing, actually.
