I warned you people that if you let Bernie Sanders bamboozle you into not supporting Ms. Clinton that this was likely to happen. But did you listen? Did you LISTEN?
[Sigh!] On the bright side he hasn’t gotten us into a nuclear war —-yet.
A pandemic some of can survive. Fallout and nuclear winter – not so much.
Trump’s attempt to improve perceptions of his response by depicting the pandemic as a shock to everyone is just one of numerous ways he has dishonestly described the crisis.Trump claimed Saturday that the situation has been “urgent for me” from the very beginning, citing his late-January decision to restrict travel from China.
But Trump downplayed the severity of the issues facing the US long after that — even as experts were issuing the warnings Trump is now saying did not happen.Almost two months ago, experts were saying that the new virus in Wuhan was potentially a global threat.. One month ago, experts were saying that it was likely to be pandemic, and the White House’s response was that this was under control, despite the fact that the US’s lack of testing was demonstrably giving a false picture of the extent of infection. After all, you can have a confirmed case without a test, which requires a test that isn’t available.
Jeremy Konyndyk, who served under former President Barack Obama as director of the US Agency for International Development’s Office of US Foreign Disaster Assistance, wrote during the first two months of Trump’s presidency in 2017 about what he argued was Trump’s unpreparedness for the pandemic he warned could be coming. “A major new global health crisis is a question of when, not if,” he wrote in Politico.John Bolton, then Trump’s national security adviser, disbanded the team during a reorganization of the NSC. Bolton tweeted Saturday that it’s “false” that his “streamlining” hurt the country’s “bio defense.” Trump disavowed responsibility on Friday, March 13th for the NSC changes, saying, “I didn’t do it” and “I don’t know anything about it” — though he conceded that “the administration” did. Trump is either responsible or irresponsible. This is his fault. The Trump Plague is his.
Dr. Fauci obviously sees himself as the last adult in the room, now that McMaster, Kelly, and others have left and/or been pushed by Toddler Trump. Otherwise, he would have told Li’l Donnie where to go and what to do with his bonespurs long since. Of course, people tend to crack under pressure, so we might yet see that………
I thought that displaying obscenities on TV was forbidden? Seriously, we owe Dr Fauci a big thank you for getting that cretin to keep the country at home.

Should designate the virus as Covid-45 in tribute to President 45.

Just hope the stupid isn’t contagious, either, Dr. Fauci.
Everyone #45 touches is soiled, but so far he’s maintained his reputation. #45 will probably fire him as soon as possible.

Have you seen the pictures of the White House meetings? They are all crowded together. Republicans think they are immune to reality.

It seems Oh man doesn’t know (or care) that Dr Fauci himself says Trump listens to him and that he did not do a face palm.
