AT> DS> Here's a detailed list of what we are blaming him for: AT> AT> It's TDS Dale - You're not blaming him for the virus but you're blaming AT> him for the outcome of the virus. We are, rightly, blaming him for failure to act in a useful, coordinated way. The only "TDS" I see is his supporters, who continue to extol all he does while refusing to hold him to any sort of account for his myriad failures. AT> All that stuff you called him out for just now - why didn't you call him AT> out for those things as they happened? You're kinda as guilty as he is. People did. Repeatedly. You dumb hicks all "haw hawed" it in your vapid echo chamber. Bravo. AT> I suggest keeping a positive attitude - Trump's not superman, neither was AT> Obama or Bush. Blaming him for all your problems doesn't pull you out of AT> a bad situation. You can't pray the pandemic away. I suggest action. The first step is acknowledging that there is a problem. Once again, deflection to Bush or Obama isn't useful. AT> What would you do if you you tripped over a piece of coal that was lying AT> on the street? Blame Trump because he opened the coal industry back up? This asshole had three years to fix whatever shortcomings he saw in the previous administration's preparedness for the pandemic he was warned about repeatedly. Instead, he dismantled the infrastructure that could have helped avert the current disastrous trainwreck of a response. The blame for this sits squarely on Trump's shoulders. Period. AT> Not trying to insult you - but think positive - we'll get through this AT> corona virus situation somehow - and by being vigilant and understanding AT> - having compassion for others - being innovative like so many other AT> Americans. Is "think positive" _really_ your answer? You're joking, right? How about not screwing around with the national stockpile web site to fit Kushner's narrative, a move that would make Orwell proud? How about actually trying to lead and govern? That'll never happen from Trump, though. He's too incompetent and spiteful to actually lead Americans in a coherent way to address the current challenge. It's no mistake that the _first_ time he encountered a major crisis the country fell apart on his watch. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/03/29 (Windows/32) * Origin: Agency BBS | Dunedin, New Zealand | agency.bbs.nz (3:770/100) .
