Scott Dworkin: "one of the biggest failures in American history. And he should go to prison for it"



Scott Dworkin ✔@funder

Trump should be removed from office immediately. He knew a pandemic was coming for months. He ignored our intelligence agencies. He could’ve slowed the spread of the virus, but he didn’t. It’s one of the biggest failures in American history. And he should go to prison for it.

Put them in cages, perminately separated from family, sell their children to Epstien.com and start with Miller. Toilet water and silver plastic blankets. No health care. Give the malaria pills to fight the virus, no masks, no sanitizers. Make em listen to Kid Rick blaring 24/7.

NPR did a story the other day about the Trump administration conducting a study recently on the effects of a global pandemic. The draft of the study determined our medical system and infrastructure was totally unprepared. Now, we're finding out the administration knew about the coming pandemic months before they publically announced it, cashed in their stocks, all the while holding info on how unprepared we are to handle a coming pandemic. Yes, it's criminally negligent, but it may be even worse than that.

I've generally taken the stance — and it's informed by the death of my cousin in the Iraq War — that Bush/Cheney held a slight edge in the criminally negligent and actively criminal scorecards because of their inability to heed the warnings regarding 9/11 and their illegal wars started on lies.

Trump will surpass them in the cost of human lives and national treasure.

He is a criminal and should be dealt with posthaste in that vein.

Probably quite cheap to manufacture.

Situate. Drop blade. Clean up with Clorox wipes. Put on spike. Easy peasy.

We can practice our collective noblesse oblige, and give them an Ambien. Maybe two.

Hell, if you wanted to use the "strap them in the chair" method, I would be honored to flip the switch. As many times as needed. (To cover all the offending traitors I'd probably develop carpel tunnel in my flip finger...)

But seriously, folks, at the very least the turd, every one of the spawn and cabinet, and ALL the congressional (senate inclusive) enablers should be facing prison.

BIGLY.

Sorry, I do NOT apologize for my fantasies run amok. I would LOVE for these fantasies to become reality.

it is proper for the US government to temporarily control (confiscate was on my tongue) the Trump Hotels and turn them into hospitals and convalescent care . Beds with nice sheet and blankets are already in each room

The Cuomo press conference, he really does put Trump to shame.

I wonder if I am the only person who - when Trump has a press conference I would like to smack that silly look off his face.
He is faking it, he knows nothing about the subject.

They all knew and they did nothing. And the leaders of China should go to jail because at first they tried to cover it up when they should have been warning the world in December. So yes, remove Trump and lock him up, but he's not the only one.

the precedent has now been set in this country that the president is un-removeable by virtue of the president being able to claim executive privilege to prevent any testimony. so even if impeached for the virus response he can simply prevent anyone who knows about it from testifying, and there is no way to "prove" the case.

Senate GOP betrayed the nation. and we will all suffer for it
