Chris Murphy: Pissing off Europe by not giving them prior notice of the travel ban was totally unnecessary.

Over there they’re going to need all they can make — they’re some weeks ahead of us on the growth curve. So it’s time we develop an alternative domestic source.
March 1st: Will Sen. Chris Murphy infect the entire US Senate with COVID-19?
Iranian FM Zarif and his entourage were likely COVID-19 carriers at the Munich Security Conference. The Democrat party senator who met with him for over an hour in Zarif's hotel room must be watched for signs of disease.

#16  A spritzer, a bottle, a barrel!
You're not, Mr. Murcek, in peril,
For -- Berlin or Turin --
Yer furriner's urine
Is always (ideally!) sterile.

"But what about his--?" Yes, all of those too, naturally. What are you, xenophobic or nationalist or something? FWIW, I hope EC continues to post here. Just takin' the piss (or not).

#14  This is just politics as usual. Nothing Trump does, no matter how logical or effective, will be correct as far as Democrats are concerned. They're all waiting in the wings, hoping that Trump will fail and bitching about every little thing he does, pushing to include federal funding for abortion into coronavirus funding. She'd murder more babies with that than coronavirus funding will save and just wait until he vetoes it! Is there any low to which they will not stoop?

#11  Sometimes a slap to the face is needed to make someone pay attention. Trump did leave a UK back door on his travel ban for now (and most Euros should know how to travel to the UK before going to north america by now), so it's not like the iron curtain or anything.

#7  How's those work around arrangements with Iran to avoid the American sanctions doing? Asking for a friend.

#5  At Rantburg, der German conservative
Must immer be fully affirmative
And never come clucking
Or cucking or shucking
"Mein fine European Preservative!"

#4  EC soon to make his usual snobby comment.

#3  What does "Giving them 'Prior Notice' " mean? Asking them "Mother, may I?" and negotiating for 1, 2, 3 weeks, a month or longer?

#2  F--- off, Grifter. Go to Iran.

#1  I disagree. Pissing off Europeans is always on the table. They have made a hobby of pissing us off for the past few decades and it is high time they got a taste of their own medicine. Oh, they don't like it? Tough shit.

If they want to keep all the virus tests for themselves, great! It will demonstrate once and for all that their rhetoric of caring for others before themselves is false.
