and the scoreboard is still running on the economic loss, the sick and the dead.
You need to stop, you fraction of a man.
The most idiotic aspect of Kid's post is that he complains about this, while his reaction to RAGE is to say that it won't "drive voting."
Ward's "defense" of it is to cite the
one thing that Trump did
almost right. And even that, Trump had to lie about, claiming full credit for what had not been his idea.
But both of them are so deep into their positions that they cannot admit (and perhaps not even to themselves) how awful this was, all of it. They cannot admit how awful it is that Trump's
ego drove him to have these interviews. That Trump's intellectual limitations and/or self-dishonesty would prompt him to claim that he is seeking to avoid panic in Americans while at the same time Trump is stoking fears about voting, about BLM, about Antifa.
They cannot look at Dan Coats' words or James Mattis' words and respond with a "Wow, that's terrible." They cannot read that Wolf directed our intelligence analysts to stop presenting findings on Russia, but to focus on China and Iran and hear dangerous kowtowing to a president's vanity and political interests. They cannot hear Coats' saying that he thinks Putin must have something on Trump and wonder aloud with us if perhaps it is true - because Dan Coats is not some flaming liberal or a never-Trumper, but he must be "a bitter ex-employee," because why else would he say such things.
As former CIA Director John Brennan tweeted, "Donald Trump reveals what an absolute abomination he is. If he had a conscience or a soul, he would resign. Tragically for us, he has neither."
And if Ward or Kid had either conscience or soul, they would admit that this president sounds dangerous and that he butchered the handling of COVID-19.
