1. Why can't we give trump credit: The derelictions of duty. The refusal to acknowledge

what was happening.

The undermining of science and scientists.

The undermining of those that wore masks.

Etc. Etc.

Thanks Jake Tapper.

And IMO trump only approved Operation Warp Speed because he thought it would be the thing that secured his re-election.

Too bad, so sad the successful vaccines came after the election. And thank God because four more years of trump wouldn't bought the nation to its knees.

3. That struck me as a segment that Cronkite or others might have had.

Facts laid out calmly.

Analysis.

And personal(/network) opinions.

No shrill voices and flashy graphics with some supposed sex appeal to the over 70s.

Looks simple to me. He's guilty.

He's lucky too.

He should be held accountable for hundreds of thousands of American deaths.

This is actual history and just how can anyone discount this?

Trump is guilty, at the least, of negligent homicide.
He refused to publicly acknowledge what he KNEW was true for purely political reasons.


This should be pursued in court. Is there a chance of that happening? Only in the context of lawsuits, I fear. Btw, why are the other criminal cases taking so long?

Thank you, ItsjustMe, for posting this important clip. Tapper hit the nail again.

8. Warp Speed was just a gimmick that did not push companies to get the vaccines out, the companies

were already doing it, and both Pfizer and Moderna denied that the trump administration claim, they made it explicit that trump and his administration had nothing to get the vaccines out.

Let us not forget that the trump administration had NO PLAN, ZERO, to distribute the vaccines.

As always, republicans are trying to get credit where credit is NOT due.
