    My thoughts exactly. It makes them seem totally ineffectual. Meanwhile, neo nazis are attacking our grid and Texas has blackouts after a light storm. Get your shit together.

    They manage our nuclear weapons. I'm sure they keep an eye on China and Russia.

    They fired the whole top command of our nuclear team of about 6 people for negligence a couple days ago....I don't think excellence was the reason.

    I worked in the Navy with Nixon's propaganda machine...we don't always tell the truth about our adversaries or even our own troops more often than people realize.

    And what does monitoring nuclear weapons have to do with a virus?

    It’s a reason to collect information on China.

    How does that make them authorities on biology, virology, or epidemiology? Those are the professions who's opinions I'd be interested in....

    I could see the DOE being tight with the CIA. Part of monitoring other countries' nukes is by spycraft. The CIA could have picked up something and is using the DOE to leak it.

    That said, no one in the public or press has read the complete report. All that has been leaked is by the GOP to the WSJ.

    IMO this is similar to Barr saying the Mueller report exonerated Trump when we were finally able to see the final report it clearly didn't.

    China already knows where it originated from. There is no need for authorities on biology, virology, or epidemiology in my opinion if you can gather intelligence on their internal discussions.

    It would be interesting to read about. But China was literally sanitizing airport runways, so...

    I'm not sure I trust their internal dialogue either.

    Why do the righties care so much if it originated in a wet market or leaked from a bio-lab? I don't get it.

    Same here...China itself is hurting from covid, so regardless of where/how it originated, I can't see why China would intentionally allow it to harm their country or the rest of the world.
