That SOB insulted my governor in the middle of a deadly outbreak.

I’m so mad I could—I don’t even have words. I’m a few miles from that nursing home. We’re doing all we can to take care of ourselves and look out for one another intelligently and without utter panic.

We’re doing that with the guidance of an intelligent, honest, careful team of heath experts who aren’t playing politics and are giving us as much actual information as they can. Inslee has been golden.

Have you noticed how often that asshole attacks the leaders of areas that are in trouble? He’s angry that they’re making him look bad by needing help, by exposing his incompetence and narcissism.

I was in Seattle proper today. It’s soldiering on. Not as many people out as usually are but they’re trying. Using hand sanitizer on everything. Holding meetings by Zoom. And it won’t be enough.

We NEED a competent response. We can give important data for when it hits all the rest of you.

That bastard has got to go.

1. Your Governor Inslee would make a great President.

Dim Donny TenFlusher is just jealous.

[nolabear]

2. Indeed.

[Amaryllis]

3. Yes. I love Inslee and I'm in Oregon. People see that kind of talk for what it is.

(Not talking about Trump supporters, of course.)

Hang in there. I used to say thoughts and prayers, but need a new phrase now. At any rate, i have been thinking about my neighbors to the north, and my Seattle friends, with empathy and well wishes.

4. CNN's Jim Acosta asked Pence about this today at the

presser...
"Talking about Coronavirus at CDC, Trump just referred to Wash State governor Inslee as a “snake” after Pence paid a visit there yesterday to check on the outbreak."

Pence ignored that, naturally. He kept on praises the wonderful POTUS. Asshole.

[nolabear]

5. Of course he did.

[BadgerMom]

6. An insult from Trump is the highest compliment.

[SunSeeker]

7. Traitor Trump being his usual traitorous self. nt

[Sucha NastyWoman]

8. At least your local officials are trying to compensate for them.

How many red state leaders will step up if it makes Trump look incompetent.?

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. So sorry. You are 100% right. Read to use John Hopkins

website for real info...vs CDC (trump tainted).

Why do they think nursing home got infected? Still no path to first infection?

[LisaM]

11. Veep Inslee!

I like it.

12. Thanks nolabear

In Colorado we are so sorry of how WA people have suffered and so proud of what your gov and all of you have done. And so disgusted at Trump's actions and words at the CDC today I want to puke. My dear granddaughter who works at the CDC has been screening the evacuees and working so hard to limit this awful virus and is so ashamed of what Trump and his cohorts are doing.

13. It's what he does. It's not even personal, he's just a 72 y.o. toddler with senile dementia.

Aside from that, I am so sorry. All I can do at this moment in time is futilely wish that he and a few others of their ilk would catch this wretched disease themselves and free us from their pestilential presence.

[liberalmuse]

14. Fellow WA here.

I think a lot of us feel the same.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

15. Remember that our Gov, Jay Inslee, pushed back HARD against

trumpie's disingenuous BS climate denying. Jay kind of led the way among candidates in giving climate change such a high profile during the early debates. He essentially called trumpie out, making him look stupid and out of touch with reality, and trumpie has never forgiven Jay for that. But when it comes to understanding government and governance, Jay runs circles around trumpie.

Jay's leadership has been on full display since COVID-19 emerged in Seattle. And I don't believe that Jay would ever lie to Washingtonians about the dangers that this virus presents. He's not worried about the stock market, he's worried about whether or not people are safe to go the grocery market.

[Martin Eden]

18. Early in the primary I really liked Inslee, and I still do

That he couldn't make any real headway indicates the dysfunction of electoral politics in America.

Media star power trumps intelligence, competence, and a proven record.

What are Jay's negatives, if any?

[PatrickforO]

16. I think I like my governor as much as you like Inslee. I have

Polis and he's great. Makes me proud to be a Coloradan.

[Generic Other]

17. I am with you Nolabear

It's supposed to be us against a disease, but he has to make it about him.
