Meanwhile, Trump is blocking the delivery of supplies that were stockpiled for use in this very event. Trump delayed, dithered and denied. He's the Commander In Chief and Chief Executive of this government. It's his job to protect and defend this country from all enemies, including a virus. So, eff off with this "bad people on both sides" bullshit. Republicans are the ones who kept him in power when Democrats impeached him for his corrupt actions that are part and parcel of his actions throughout this crisis. Republicans are the ones to take the blame for his actions, not just Trump.
No joke, I was trying to figure out what actually 60 days ago meant...
Trump impeachment trial was still going on, wondering about witnesses. We found out about Walrus mustache guy's book and how he had more information to tell. Lev Parnas and Guiliani's using of Russian money to try to scam the country with manufactured dirt on Biden.
Trump's ridiculous "State of the Union" campaign rally (which now that we are looking back, would have been the ideal time to warn and prepare the country for this upcoming disaster).
The Republicans acquitting Trump without allowing any witnesses, even though they agreed he was guilty of the crimes. Trump's immediate gutting of all departments of people who wouldn't kiss his ring, with a very public frog march of Vindman and his brother.
Trump's appointing of a far right propagandist as the DNI after he
fired the previous guy for warning Congress about Russia attacking our elections/citizens leading up to the 2020 election.
Russia and Turkey looked like they might go to war with each other, dragging the rest of the world into war.
Cads and dogs living together....
So it is not a surprise that the warnings of the Democrats were getting ignored.
I showed that guy that Feinstein was (and sorry
@Warpedpassage but I showed you a very real example of a prominent Democrat pushing to get the government working to get ahead of this that was ignored, I am not going to go through the rest of the 300 or so Democrats to show you every example of them trying to get the ball rolling on this. The Republicans are in power, not the Democrats for the last 4 years, and they have been doing their job passing about what 300 bi-partisan bills that Mitch McConnell has sat on) on it publicly from at least 2/5/2020.
You have to really be bought into the lie the Russians and Republicans have been pushing about the Democrats being the same as the Republicans to believe that line of propaganda. They are not. It is just a way to try to get people who will not vote for Trump to not vote in 2020, helping Trump's chances at getting re-elected.
