That's fair. To be honest I know it's not fair to pin it all on Trump despite him obviously dropping the ball when he had a headstart.GrundleStiltzkin said:I’m reading that @insinceredawg wanted Trump to be authoritarian sooner.
Look, anything Trump could, should or will do, you will not like. That’s fine, be with your tribe (no closer than six feet).
Trump admin should have full stop banned Asian travel early January. Deal with the racism allegations & lock it off except for quarantined repatriations. He fucked that first best option up. Next testing capability was not ramped up. But failing a impossibly tight quarantine of Asia, this shit was coming here.
Some day, God forbid, we may have another Spanish Flu. I really don’t think this one is it.
Between you and me, my main motivation in surfacing all his fuck ups on this board is for the reactions. I find it hilarious when the Trump worshipers lose their minds and scramble to spin all negative press about him. It's a fascinating case study in cult like behavior. -
Don’t dismiss it out of hand either. I think the investigative writing on this a few years down the road will find that it falling in an election year made reaction worse. Other factors I think: China origin; China info blackout; social media ubiquity; distrust of Trump; distrust of media. Election year politics with the Trump xxx factor & terrible opposition candidates right up at top. There need not be a conspiracy for like-motivated people to act in concert.insinceredawg said:

But here you are in the middle of our worst stateside catastrophe in 100 years trying to own Trump for political points.insinceredawg said:

Sad.
During peacetime, the Army and the Navy can’t stand each other. But at times of war, they put those things aside and do what is needed to win the game.
You’re team can Monday morning QB and open investigations all you want. But let’s win the game first. And then you can flail into the wind like you always do. -
You lock everything down before there are signs of trouble and the pushback is massive (see Trump banning China travel early) ...
People I know around the country didn’t believe the warnings I was giving 2-3 weeks ago here in Washington because it wasn’t in their communities yet ...
New York blowing up in those numbers made everybody take notice ... other states are about to get into bad shape
We got ahead of things in Washington ... others are where we were 2-3 weeks ago but way ahead of the curve
