Mike Pence Suggests America Is Too Dumb To See What A Great Job Trump Has Done On Testing

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

When a reporter asked Mike Pence why the Trump administration has failed to live up to its initial promise on coronavirus testing capacity, the vice president blamed the media and the American public for not understanding just how good a job the president has done.
“Mr. Vice President, back in early March you said we’d be at four million tests by the following week,” Jonathan Karl of ABC News pointed out at Monday’s press conference. “We’ve just now got there in the last few days.”

“What lessons have you learned from the mistakes over the last month and a half or so?” Karl asked.

To answer the last question first, Trump has learned nothing.

And I might add, if I were cruel, that 63 million US voters were too dumb to be allowed to vote, and many of that same 63 million have themselves learned nothing.

But I am too kind, and polite, to say such a thing.

1. K&R, this was the most under reported news from the BS campaign yesterday. Pence basically

... said I'm going to play with words and continue lying and ... NO ONE ... followed up on his bullshit!!!

3. I agree. It is the responsibility of the media to ask these questions,

and follow up questions. But in what I see as good news, polling now shows that a majority of US voters know that Trump has failed.

2. stupid ass. you stood there and told us a million tests this week, 5 million next week,

27 million in a month.

well that has come and gone and there have barely been 5 million in total.

5. That's interesting.

That's interesting considering it is coming from a walking Q-Tip who calls his wife Mother and secretly wants to be in charge of a theocracy if given the chance. Oh, and his political work in the past speaks volumes.

He is of the Republican, keep 'em dumb and entranced approach. They usurp a belief system, (this happens in many countries) and then use gullibility and beliefs to manipulate their victims. Like it or not, there are simple and poorly educated people. There are people who have faith and religion, but no wisdom to understand how easily that can be used against them and others. I would add that, their own "good book" gives ample warnings about that, but who reads it?

It is also interesting that Barr is also a fundamentalist. He advocates for sledgehammering the wall between Church and State an supports groups that function in that capacity and who call it their "rights". In that case, Barr is also biased in the theocratic direction and that is an ongoing threat. Trump has played to that base and would, at some point, have to capitulate to both the theocratic movements and the oligarchs, so we get spectrum of anti-democratic interests in that case.

That's another reason that TRUMP MUST BE DEFEATED AT ALL COSTS. There is no other option if we don't want to lose it all big time in another term of destruction, negligence, cronyism and a long list of other upsetting detriments.

6. such a passive/aggressive response: "...you misunderstood what was said..." paraphrased, in other

words you didn't hear what you heard, in other words there are alternative facts to consider. PENCE LIED AND IS LYING.

7. What has the administration done?

We did the isolation thing to buy time. Here we are, six or eight weeks later, and the administration has done not quite jack shit with the time we bought for them at great personal sacrifice. Businesses folding, millions out of work, services and resources stretched to the breaking point, and all Trump has done in that time is go golfing, host rallies, and whine about how unfair everything is to him.

8. Pence has got it backwards

Trump, Pence and the rest of the Republican Party are in trouble because the people do understand what is going on.

11. Well said.

Trump and Pence can read the polls. Well, Pence can read them. Their lies are not working.

9. I knew a story like this when I was a kid

"Not only were their colors and patterns uncommonly fine, but clothes made of this cloth had a wonderful way of becoming invisible to anyone who was unfit for his office, or who was unusually stupid."

It was even in a Danny Kaye movie...

10. "But for the leadership of this president..."

Mike Pence is one of the worst humans in earth.

12. Pence is too dumb to know that Trump cannot fire him and he really doesn't have to kiss his ass 24/7

13. The one that's too dumb is Pence

He reminds me of a marionette. He even looks like one.
