James GordonWhen Barr’s Twitter cut off this weekend instead of focusing on saving American lives in the midst of the deadly coronavirus outbreak, he reminded the nation of one of his truths about how he treats his allies in business and politics: Everyone’s lost if they don’t obey his dictation. No matter how loyal a juror is – and no matter how often he risks his reputation to carry out Trump’s orders – the president does not compromise to set them aside as soon as he is convinced that he no longer needs them as a political instrument.
He treated the Ministry of Justice like a flotilla of his personal lawyers, tried to put pressure on them to investigate his political enemies and showed a disturbing lack of respect for the historical independence of the Ministry of Justice from politics.
In an interview with Fox News on Sunday, Trump said he was disappointed that Barr did not reveal the existence of the pre-election investigation: He said everyone is. Bill Barr should have been there.
Barr, Tromp’s old loyalist, who has taken many questionable actions on his behalf, has already angered the president by telling the Associated Press recently that he saw no evidence to support Tromp’s false claims of widespread electoral fraud that could change the results.

Their shattered relationship worsened further after Trump learned that Barr had followed the Ministry of Justice’s long precedent that he should not take any action that might affect the election and should therefore suspend the investigation into Biden’s son until the third quarter of 2010. November.
Earlier this month, the two men had a controversial meeting, the White House team told CNN. On Saturday morning Trump made his complaints public and in response he twittered and offered to fire Barr before the end of the day. Why Bill Barr didn’t reveal the truth about Hunter Biden before the election, Tromp twittered on Saturday. Big loss for the Republicans in the elections!
Despite Trump’s final legal defeat on Friday night – when the Supreme Court refused to hear the case, which was part of the president’s plan to rebut the election results – he also suggested on Twitter and in an interview with Fox that his efforts to make the elections fail should continue: We just started tweeting.
When asked whether he feared the country would be divided after his ruthless attack on the U.S. electoral system in the run-up to the inauguration, he repeated his ridiculous claim that he had won the election and said he feared that America would have an illegitimate president.
A known source of the rift in the relationship between Trump and Barr over their disagreement over the validity of the election and the Hunter Biden investigation stated that their recent involvement showed that Barr Trump would not intimidate.
It’s a true story. None of this matters – the tirades of the fallen king. The source told Jamie Gangela on CNN Saturday after Trump twittered about his displeasure with Barr.

The desire to attract attention and praise for this asset faded even in those early days of vaccine use as doses of Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine were swapped to providers early Sunday after FDA approval for emergency use of the vaccine late Friday evening.
Dr Trump did not appreciate that other countries, such as the UK, had initially approved Pfizer’s vaccine – his main concern seems to be that efforts to accelerate its development are properly recognized by his government’s Warp Speed operation. In an interview with Fox News, he said he deserved the only praise for accelerating the development of the vaccine.
If I had not been president, almost everyone, including my opponent, would have thought that you had not had the vaccine for five years, Trump said in a taped interview for Saturday’s game Army-Navy.
I pushed the FDA, the company and everyone involved if no one has ever been pushed before, and now you’ve done it, and frankly you could have done it last week, Trump said. They could have done it a week earlier if they’d heard from me.
His frustration at the pace of the vaccine review process seeped into public opinion hours before the FDA announced an emergency use approval announcement on Friday. CNN reported that the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, attempted to intervene on behalf of the president by putting pressure on the FDA commissioner, Dr. Stephen Khan, to make a decision by the end of the day and warn that he would be fired if he did not.

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Sunday, Khan insisted that political pressure had no influence on the process. In my public speeches I made it very clear – this is a vague idea of the conversation, he said about the property that he will be fired if he does not meet the wishes of the President.
But medical experts warn that even the rise of a busy campaign could scare Americans into taking the vaccine, as many are already worried about the rush of the process.
We have heard from various sources, including the White House, that we want to move forward as quickly as possible, Khan said on CNN. We did, but it was our absolute duty to the American people to ensure that we conducted a thorough scientific investigation. We had to ensure that our gold standard for assessing the safety and efficacy of vaccines was respected and correctly implemented.
We had to do it right, and I think we did, Hahn said.
After the FDA, a major advisory group of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices – voted Saturday afternoon to recommend the vaccine. The CDC took the final step when Dr. Robert Redfield, CDC Director, accepted the advisory panel’s recommendation.
Last night, I proudly signed the recommendation of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to use Pfizer’s COVID 19 vaccine in people 16 years of age and older. The CDC’s official recommendation follows Friday’s decision by the FDA to approve Pfizer’s vaccine for emergency use, Redfield said in a statement released Sunday.
As the number of COWID-19 cases in the United States continues to rise, the CDC recommendation comes at a critical time, he said. The primary vaccination against COVID-19 was scheduled to begin on Monday, and this is the next step in our efforts to protect the Americans, mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and restore some normalization of our lives and our country.
Press Congress
As deliveries get closer and closer to reality, Congress is under pressure to approve additional state and local government funding to control the delivery of the vaccine from the moment it arrives at the suppliers where it is to be delivered.
The first 2.9 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine will be administered to primary care workers and vulnerable Americans living in retirement homes and long-term care facilities. But the Minister of Health and Social Affairs, Alex Azar, has said that about 20 million doses are expected this month.
Once they are delivered in large quantities, some states will need to help cut off Pfizer stocks and move vaccine doses that must be stored at extremely low temperatures to the most remote areas of their state for suppliers who do not have the equipment to maintain extremely low temperatures for prolonged periods of time.
Lighting a fire under the auspices of Congress to enlist the help of states in this distribution process – and starting to develop campaigns to combat vaccine skepticism – would be an area where a trump card campaign would help to achieve more equitable and timely distribution of the vaccine.

But the president has taken no clear steps to persuade the congressional leaders to come to the negotiating table. Both parties agreed that the contingency plan is crucial to extend unemployment benefits to millions of unemployed people and businesses on the brink of economic collapse as a result of the closures caused by the pandemic.
Despite the best efforts of a bipartisan group of senators to develop a USD 908 billion framework package, negotiations have stalled because of differences of opinion between the two sides on the protection of Covida-19 liability, as called for by the Republicans, and increased support for the state and local authorities, which is an important priority for the Democrats.
Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican member of a bipartisan task force, said the group plans to propose an emergency stimulus package Monday night that will provide financial assistance to unemployed Americans and small businesses affected by the coronavirus. However, it is not yet clear whether the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, will support the motion.
I have no influence on Chief McConnell’s decision. I can only do what I can, Cassidy Tupper said Sunday. There’s gonna be a deal.
Although Trump bragged about his skills as a broker, he was largely absent because he focused on the failed legal battles over the cancellation of the presidential election.
Kathleen Sebelius, former secretary of health and human services in the Obama administration, told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Saturday night that government funding to recruit and mobilize local workers to manage the vaccine to millions of Americans is one of the big missing pieces.
The mission, organized from Pfizer’s headquarters in Kalamazu, Michigan, to states across the country-and to cold stores in those states-is a piece of the federal government puzzle, she told the war room. In addition, the Trump administration has stated that you are virtually alone. You have to put it in the hands of the people there, she said.
M. Sebelius noted that the federal government has spent approximately $10 billion on the Operation Speed Warp to help develop a safe and effective vaccine. But so far, they have spent a total of $240 million on state and local government efforts to expand testing and increase the number of civil servants.
The United States says it needs a few billion dollars. So the part of the congressional package that is so badly needed is to get those funds, she said.
Even such a limited offer in the initial phase will not be easy. If we do mass vaccinations, it will be very difficult.
