re: #84 Targetpractice

This is all we’re going to hear between now and November: “It could have been worse!” It doesn’t matter how many different ways you point out that the pooch was screwed on the handling of this outbreak, or how big the pile of bodies these shitheads stand upon, they will insist that it would have been “worse” if…well, they don’t know how it could have been “worse,” but it could have been and that’s why we should feel fortunate that they’re in charge!

And for all the reasons why it wasn’t worse, it was in spite of the Maladministration’s interference and stonewalling, not because of it. Trump & co. have actively made decisions that made things worse at every turn, and it took local and state governments to make the right calls that stemmed the tide…and now thanks to grandstanders and dipshits wanting their good graces with Trump, we have more than half the country wanting to throw their residents back into the chipper without any real mitigation plan.
