This Wash­ing­ton Post ex­pose is damning.

W had the in­fa­mous “Bin Laden de­ter­mined to strike in US” re­port and he dropped the ball but at least he could say he was ig­no­rant of just how or where.

We had pro­tec­tions in place for sce­nar­ios like this and those pro­tec­tions were ei­ther ig­nored or more heinous­ly stripped out by ig­no­rants, of which the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion has many.

Hell, the en­tire point of elect­ing this man for many of his fol­low­ers was to ruin government.

They got their wish but they also broke the coun­try and the lives of most peo­ple in it:

If Re­pub­li­cans weren’t trai­tors it would.

 

“Two months be­fore the nov­el coro­n­avirus is thought to have be­gun its dead­ly ad­vance in Wuhan, Chi­na, the Trump ad­min­is­tra­tion end­ed a $200-mil­lion pan­dem­ic ear­ly-warn­ing pro­gram aimed at train­ing sci­en­tists in Chi­na and oth­er coun­tries to de­tect and re­spond to such a threat.

“The project, launched by the U.S. Agency for In­ter­na­tion­al De­vel­op­ment in 2009, iden­ti­fied 1,200 dif­fer­ent virus­es that had the po­ten­tial to erupt into pan­demics, in­clud­ing more than 160 nov­el coro­n­avirus­es. The ini­tia­tive, called PRE­DICT, also trained and sup­port­ed staff in 60 for­eign lab­o­ra­to­ries – in­clud­ing the Wuhan lab that iden­ti­fied SARS-CoV­‑2, the new coro­n­avirus that caus­es COVID-19 …”

 

Re­mem­ber when peo­ple didn’t vote bc they said there was no dif­fer­ence be­tween Hillary and Trump, and now we’re buy­ing 100,000 ex­tra body bags from Canada

Con­grat­u­la­tions, Berners.

You’re as ‘left’ as this MMA-mas­tur­bat­ing douchbag:

 

Par­ty of so­ciopaths works sociopathically.

 

 

Keeps go­ing. No bottom.

 

Twit­ter thread. Read it all. All of this is on the GOP:

Read­ing about this pres­i­den­cy is go­ing to be so fuck­ing sur­re­al for fu­ture gen­er­a­tions. “So, he just kept say­ing aw­ful shit & com­mit­ting crimes & peo­ple want­ed it to stop but it did­n’t stop & even­tu­al­ly peo­ple were wear­ing masks & dy­ing by the thou­sands & it STILL did­n’t stop?”

“liv­ing in the unit­ed states is supreme­ly fucked up cause we’re one of the rich­est, most pow­er­ful jug­ger­nauts on the plan­et, but your av­er­age cit­i­zen has rel­a­tive­ly in­fin­i­tes­i­mal ac­cess to that wealth and pow­er, and very lit­tle they can do to im­prove things.

“be­ing poor in the US still makes you rich by some glob­al stan­dards, but of­ten times The Amer­i­can Ex­pe­ri­ence is like … you’re a pas­sen­ger locked in the bag­gage hold of a very long train that’s go­ing very fast. and the peo­ple dri­ving the train are run­ning it off the rails and shout­ing CHOO CHOO MOTH­ER­FUCK­ERS CHOO CHOOOOOOOOO as they thought­less­ly bull­doze this train through every­thing in its path. you want very bad­ly to get off the train or blud­geon the con­duc­tors with a crow­bar, be­cause you don’t like where it’s go­ing, but you’re hand­cuffed in a duf­fel bag and the con­duc­tors have bar­ri­cad­ed them­selves in the en­gine cars with all the food, med­i­cine, and tools that could be used to help you out.

“and UN­DER­STAND­ABLY the rest of the world is like ‘what the FUCK is wrong with that train??? it must be stopped! there are so many peo­ple on the train why is no­body break­ing into the conductor’s booth and stop­ping it??!’ but most of us are just squirm­ing for ba­sic sur­vival in the last few cars while bil­lion­aires sit on top of the train snip­ing any­one brave enough to crawl up from the car­go hold, all while shout­ing that you’re lucky to be on such a lux­u­ri­ous, suc­cess­ful train at all.” —dream­log­ic

 

I drew this two years ago for a book.

But it rep­re­sents our cur­rent mo­ment as well as anything:

 

This man has had enough.

 

And

nurs­es stop­ping to take what they have to know might be they or their col­leagues last self­ie ever isn’t ‘proof’ of any­thing but the nurs­es be­ing human.

It’s not your place to judge what peo­ple in ex­tra­or­di­nary sit­u­a­tions do.
