In 2018 Trump/Bolton fired the global pandemic response team (national security council) and I don't know who did it
but the funding for work on a corona-virus vaccine (SARs) was also cut too. We have him on tape (2/20) as saying that
it was a good business decision to fire those people.
In Feb. 2020 the University of Washington and the Seattle Dept. of Health found a C-19 case in Seattle and
notified the C.D.C. (Trump Administration) about the case and were told to stop testing for C-19.
And today with a virus that could kill and make sick millions of Americans so now he is worried about the
markets and so he cut the Fed's interest rate on loaning money to the banks to zero in order to help the markets.

(9,595 posts)I don't think it's going too far if I say that Trump has now turned the United States into a shithole country.
We're #1, in doing all the wrong things, and having the most stupid people on the planet running the country.
Running it right into the ground.

(2,412 posts)I love the idea of a Nuremberg Trial for Trump. The day must come when he pays for his sins.
These are the classics: Pride, Avarice,, Adultery, Killing, Lust Envy, Sloth and Wrath and the list is endless. This has got to happen!!!

(8,679 posts)He would have been gone a long time ago if it had not been for them. Period. And the Republican members of the Supreme Court.
And Barr's DOJ, And the ring leader Mitch McConnell etc etc etc
All of them condoned and encouraged every last one of his actions.

Okay, so you take like the top 500 most corrupt republicans from the president down. Then, online, they get auctioned off, one by one to the highest bidder. The bidders can't be any family members, wealthy friends etc
For the auction price, you get "your" person delivered in restraints to your choice of location.
As their owner, you can decide their punishment and how long it takes.

Beside everything Pendejo45 does has a hook to benefit himself.
GopherGal
(1,999 posts)But I guess that would defeat his purpose of stimulating the economy to keep himself in office.
aggiesal
(8,864 posts)Pendejo45 doing the right thing?
Resign, yes that would be the right thing for him to do, but he's a born idiot.
He'll never resign.

(11,694 posts)Conservatives subscribe to the idea of a natural hierarchy where wealthy, White, Protestant Men are at the top and everyone else is below and exist to serve them. They see liberalism as an abomination where people who are unworthy may end up in positions of power because they are given "special privileges" all the while not seeing or willfully ignoring the special privileges that have been built up for them throughout history.
They have no idea how to govern because they have always just been in charge.

Shame on the craven Republicans for turning their backs on honesty, honor, and leadership.

(70,291 posts)And in that speech to be given if the invasion failed he took all the blame for the failure
and praised all the other people who were involved in the operation.
SMoss
(112 posts)Consider this. The people who are most likely to die are poor pensioners collecting Social Security, costing Medicare and Medicaid. Maybe the GOPosaurs aren't making ignorant mistakes here, maybe there is malignant intent. The Kock Bros Network of 0.1%ers is certainly capable of making such a choice.

He and his administration deserve it all.......
Oh, and to Republicans: We're not triggered, we're resolute. We will eventually get even.
DoubleDeuce
(22 posts)Anyone else concerned that this may give him the excuse he needs to postpone/cancel the general election ??!!
He will say the country is in the midst of this crisis and it's unsafe to go out and cast ballots. He will generously volunteer to remain in power to see us through this crisis (of his own creation). Until the election can be safely held, or until hell freezes over...... whichever comes first.
You know full well he would have the full support of his GOP Toadies.

(22 posts)God, I hope you're right......his supporters still seem to back him no matter what. They are just like him, can never change their minds, or admit to being wrong.
Definitely some uncharted territory in the coming months.
Lock him up.
(6,874 posts)Volunteer, call, register (new) voters, organize, et al.
Then get out the vote. FL, OH, PA, MI, WI, AZ, NV all BLUE! (Down ballot too!)
DoubleDeuce
(22 posts)I see Ohio has cancelled their primary today.....not sure under exactly what authority. A judge refused to delay the election, and the Governor and Secretary of State (I believe)went ahead and cancelled it on their own.
Not sure how you combat those actions, unless it is literally taking to the streests and overt hrowing the government, .removing them by force.....he has a large number of very unstable people backing him.
Shit is definitely gonna get wierd.
