Why is losing gracefully a bad thing? What the fuck is happening? What is she trying to say?
Greene would yank the plug at a tournament right before her opponent finished the combo that would win a set and brag about it.
“They only won because they used a top tier! That character doesn’t take any skill!”
She’s the political version of Low Tier God lmao.
No, Trump didn’t do anything, but the joke’s on you if you thought somehow he was going to change it up from what he’d been doing the last 3 years and suddenly become the guy everyone hoped for.
Independent of Trump, pretty much every institution we’re supposed to rely on to shepherd us through stuff like this failed for whatever reason. And even a democrat president still would have had to contend with the CCP being a shitty lying-to-cover-its-own-ass government suppressing information that makes them look bad even when it’s important, and the WHO not wanting to bite the hand that feeds it and putting bureaucracy above the function it’s supposed to serve.
So sure, if it makes you feel better, blame Trump, act like if he only hadn’t been part of the equation that things would have been radically different in this hyper politicized time we’re living in. But know that there are people above his head who are supposed to deal with this stuff before it even gets to guys like him and they didn’t do it, so here we are.
Because it means your constituents are going to be ruled by the other party for the next two years at least and that you’re ok with that at least on the surface. In times like these, that isn’t a good look.
I’m pretty sure other presidents, no matter the party wouldn’t have closed down institutions that help with this shit, nor hoarded PPE. I think he did more to make the situation worse then just about any other Prez would have
I’m just guessing tho, obviously.
Your guess is based on proven incompetence of the previous administration.
I am pretty certain most other administration’s would have at least not fumbled this badly.

Really hoping Dominion brings the hammer to Lindell.
Rudy gonna tap him on the shoulder soon
The CCP and WHO, while not without blame, are not the US federal government. They are not responsible for the Trump administration for completely shitting the bed when it comes to dealing with COVID-19. The Trump administration can’t be blamed for everything too, but they handled the situation so poorly that I put most of the blame on them. It never really had to be this bad; Trump effectively stuck his head in the sand when it came to COVID-19.
I was informed by team Trump in October that we had already beaten the virus. I assume people no longer die from it. Is this false?
The Biden administration’s newly-confirmed Secretary of Defense, Gen. Lloyd Austin (retired), is cleaning out the Pentagon, purging the wave of dubious appointments made by Donald Trump in the last few weeks of his presidency.
According to a report in the Washington Post , Austin has halted the work of dozens of Pentagon advisory boards and asked for the resignations of hundreds of DOD appointees, some of which involved close friends of Trump.
In early December, Trump sparked outrage when he appointed two of his former top campaign officials, Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie , to the Defense Business Board. The not-so-subtle rewarding of loyal allies with plum committee positions came not long after he purged his own Defense Secretary Mark Esper along with other senior DOD appointees.
The 11th-hour announcement about Lewandowski and Bossie landing at the Pentagon came amidst a larger campaign of stocking of Trump cronies in post across the federal government. Among those were former White House aide, Kellyanne Conway , Trump booster and chair of the American Conservative Union, Matt Schlapp , and Andrew Giuliani , son of Trump’s infamous personal lawyer.
“The secretary was deeply concerned with the pace and the extent of recent changes to memberships of department advisory committees,” Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told the Post . The sweeping action was part of a “zero-based review” to optimize the Defense Department, Kirby added.
“Members of the boards who were appointed by Pentagon will be asked to resign this month, while those who were selected by Congress or President Donald Trump will stay on while the review takes place,” the Pentagon spokesperson explained.
Though Lewandowski and Bossie were among those appointed by Trump, the Biden White House already stopped their Pentagon appointment — and several others selected by then-acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller — in a decision made last week.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) unveiled legislation on Tuesday that would take aim at censorship by tech companies, arguing that their rules were not being applied evenly.
“As these companies have grown and their influence has expanded, Big Tech has come to look more like Big Brother with each passing day,” DeSantis said in an afternoon press conference in Tallahassee. “But this is 2021, not 1984, and this is real life, not George Orwell’s fiction. These companies exert monopoly power over a centrally important forum in the public discourse and the access of information that Floridians rely on.”
“How many people tweeted in 2016 … that Russia stole the election for Trump?” DeSantis said. “That happened every day, thousands of times a day. Nancy Pelosi said, ‘The election was taken from us by Russia.’ Did any of those people get deplatformed? I don’t remember anyone even calling for them to be deplatformed.”
“You can sit there and look at speech, and there’s some speech that definitely provides no value, some speech that could even be harmful for society,” he added. “But who gets to make those determinations?”
Yeah this is why I get annoyed by anyone trying to compare Fauci’s mistaken call about wearing masks early on to the Trump administration just fucking up again and again.
Ah, yes, more classic false equivalencies. Prior to the election I believe there was a warning to Russian interference, be it disinformation campaigns or security risks. It was, in fact, true that Russia meddled in the election; the Mueller report confirmed this, which DeSantis conveniently forgets about. However, there is a big difference between “Russian meddled in the election” in 2016 to “the election was fraudulent and the Democrats stole it” in 2020. They are not the same thing, not to mention that Trump and his allies literally had zero credible proof of the fraud they were claiming. It’s all a show from DeSantis and anyone other politician that makes these types of claims and false equivalencies. They are not making arguments in good faith.
Yeah, but how many of them put up 60 lawsuits. I want to say that he can’t be serious, but we did just escape 2020.
So you think the country with a horrible track record of letting deadly viruses escape their borders & cover-ups, and the organization for whom a major part of their job description is handling things like this but wouldn’t go hard this time because they didn’t want to piss off one of their major benefactors are just somehow not as culpable because “they are not the US federal government.”
Like yeah, trump could have absolutely done better, but he didn’t let the virus escape, jail/murder scientists who tried to blow the whistle about it, spend months covering it up. Why do you always try to defend the CCP so hard?
“Too bad about JFK getting shot, I mean Oswald is partially to blame I guess, but if JFK hadn’t totally shit the bed dodging bullets…I mean, he WAS the president and it’s not Oswald was even a politician, so…”
Except it’s not a false equivalency. There’s no evidence that russia did anything that anyone with access to social media and a lot of time on their hands couldn’t have done. There’s probably about as much actual evodence that russia stole the 2016 election as there is that 2020 was stolen at least as of right now. The Dems kept pushing the narrative that Trump stole the election and yet none of them were threatened with deplatforming because they were tweeting about election fraud with no evidence. De Santis is making a good point but no one wants to hear it because again, it doesn’t what’s said, only who’s saying it.
The Russia investigation led to 34 indictments including 7 members of Trumps campaign staff or Whitehouse advisors
The election investigation has led to 1 for 62 in court and zero arrests of people who did not vote for Trump
The same is indeed one way to look at it
I wonder how much damage has been done by those cronies.
