So in other words, Trump can't walk and chew gum at the same time? Is that what the GOP is saying?

[ck4829]

We should all be concerned then; if Trump can't handle impeachment AND coronavirus at the same time, then how can he possibly handle...

Inflation AND a hurricane?
Russian attacks on cyber-infrastructure AND North Korean aggression?
White nationalist terrorism AND Militant Islamic terrorism?

1. They'll throw everything at the wall to see what sticks

In a sane nation, none of their bullshit would work.

But we let Fox and Rush and the Mega-churches brainwash everyone for decades under the notion that lying should be protected speech.

This is what happens when you do that.

2. "It's hard work making sure Melania gets to play tennis and I get to play golf!"

[marble falls]

7. Who'd want to see this at a tennis court ...

3. But he could still golf every couple of days and be impeached. Priorities, priorities, priorities.

[PSPS]

4. They're saying that trump is justified in imposing this collective 'punishment' on the country

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Same Thing I Said

Then NewJeffCT reminded us that there were 37 days between the end of the impeachment trial and when this thing went sideways.
So, you & I were right about the "two things at once thing" but the excuse they're using evaporated 5 weeks before things went crazy.
What's the excuse for that 5 weeks?

[Faux pas]

6. The bottom line is

he doesn't care about anything that isn't all about him. Oh and yes, he's an incompetent raging idiot.

[ck4829]

15. Malevolent and incompetent? Makes sense to me.

[dalton99a]

8. There are two things Trump can do simultaneously: Shit and tweet.

[ck4829]

9. And even that's a challenge!

[forgotmylogin]

10. The job of President gets the most support of any possible position.

Fuck Mr. "only I can do this".

[ck4829]

11. Oh! That's right! So it's not just Trump who can't mulitask, but an entire organization!

Where there should be... experts already there to advise the potus, both the potus and those experts have aides, deputies, a chief of staff who handles agendas, meetings, and itineraries, even got gofers to make sure you got coffee and donuts... and they still can't do more than one thing at once?

[ffr]

12. No, it's a Red Herring fallacy to take the focus off of the fact that Mitch McConnell

is responsible for allowing the tRump regime to continue, to manifest the deaths of Americans, whether intentional or not. It borders on criminal and genocide against your own citizens.

It also distracts from the fact that back in the Clinton years, McConnell was 100% onboard with impeaching Clinton, for no other crime other that being a democrat. It is important to note that Clinton was trying to kill Bin Laden at that same time and it was conservatives like McConnell who were touting that Clinton was 'wagging the dog' to distract from the partisan impeachment. Then 9/11 happened shortly thereafter.

Mitch will be looked upon as one of the most evil politicians ever in the history of this country. He has blood on his hands in both instances.

[ck4829]

13. Ah, but why can't it be this? Take a RW'er argument and deconstruct it.

Extract a meaning from their BS that they do not want, change the narrative. Reframe the debate.

What would their answer be to "Oh, so he's just incompetent? Can't handle the job?"

[RussBLib]

14. yep

and most of the competant people are gone, replaced by lackeys and sycophants who don't know much

It does appear the Treasury, and the Fed, are functioning ok, at least.

[LizBeth]

16. The GOP is admitting Trump fucked up crisis response. That he did a poor job.

Whatever excuses, they are admitting Trump failed.

[malaise]

17. The irony of this is that the Con himself said this was not true

He said he did a very good job and remember he gave himself a 10.
