Why in the age of a fat, orange and stupid POTUS does this make perfect sense?

Question for tRump supporters:

1. Why do tRump and his underlings not wear masks in masked facilities?
2. What are your feelings about that?


*My answers:
1. It is a political statement of support for his base who believe only pro science elitists think masks are necessary;
2. I think it is evil for him to expose others to possible infection and it sets a bad example as a leader.

Going mask-less is a sign that you support freedom.

Wearing a mask is a sign that you're a girly man, or trying to be Asian.

" At a time when we desperately need to be guided by the best science, Trump's daily fire hose of lies, and his denunciations of anything he doesn't like as "fake news," has contributed mightily to the loss of our "cognitive immunity" our ability to sort out truth from lies and science from science fiction.

At a time when we need a globally coordinated response to a pandemic, Trump has wrecked every alliance we have.

At a time when we need high social trust in order to have a coordinated response at home, Trump's political strategy of dividing us and playing everything both ways even telling people both to rise up against their governors and to lock down according to his guidelines is the opposite of the "all in this together" approach we need to win this battle.

At a time when access to affordable health care is extra-important when frontline workers need to know that if they go to work and fall ill, they will have some safety net to protect them Trump has been trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act enacted by President Barack Obama without even thinking through an alternative.

At a time when we've never more needed our early warning systems to be operating at peak potential, the four top jobs at the Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence "have all been filled with temporary acting officials for literally every day that Covid-19 has been on the world stage," Garrett Graff recently noted in Politico.
And Trump's vindictiveness toward any career public servant who challenges his narrative has surely contributed to the weak response from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts are afraid to raise their hands to contradict the president." Thomas Friedman, NY Times

Trump and some top aides question accuracy of coronavirus death toll - Axios


https://www.axios.com/trump-coronavirus-death-toll-d8ba60a4-316b-4d1e-8595-74970c15fb34.html

When tRump eventually leaves office, I hope there are enough whistle blowers in the Administration to support the filing of criminal charges against tRump and those that aided and abetted him.

I demand my government ensure my freedom from reckless and harmful idiots like this!

I should have the freedom to move about in public and not be exposed to unnecessary risks imposed by others. Just like you dont have the freedom to drive on the sidewalk, you dont have the freedom to risk spreading a pandemic.

I wish this were not so accurate...and probably effective. Basically, just commit to being incompetent and then lie so much about it that not seeing the incompetence becomes an article of faith for the loyal followers and an impossible gaslighting for those trying to fix the situation. How did he drag us into total confusion and social anarchy in just 4 years?

Great quick summary of there being no actual plan forward as the actual plan going forward.

Quite possibly the best description of our president that I have read: "There is no genius there, only a damaged human being playing havoc with our lives."

Not a chance tRump will ever be held accountable for his criminality in this crisis ....except to his Maker.

Has anyone heard about the recent allegation that Fauci sexually assaulted someone a few years back? To precisely no one's surprise, it was driven by right wing activists and it has completely unraveled in a hilarious fashion. The specific activist is Jacob Wohl and his "business" partner Burkman who have been caught in a number of these idiotic scams.

The actual story isn't that interesting but what I did find interesting was the formulation of the death cult philosophy that I think is beginning to spread in right wing circles. I think it's quite dangerous.

Quote:

"Let me tell you something, Diana," says Burkman. "This guy shut the country down. He put 40 million people out of work. In a situation like that, you have to make up whatever you have to make up to stop that train and that's the way life works, OK? That's the way it goes."

Andrade counters that he and Wohl are not taking COVID-19 seriously. "It's not just any virus. I mean, it's a huge deal.I think you guys think it's something made up, and it's not."

"Mother Nature has to clean the barn every so often," Burkman counters. "How real is it? Who knows? So what if 1 percent of the population goes? So what if you lose 400,000 people? Two hundred thousand were elderly, the other 200,000 are the bottom of society. You got to clean out the barn. If it's real, it's a positive thing, for God's sake."

Holy smokes the last few days worth of posts in this thread did not disappoint! The positive side of Corona is it's given BI posters another outlet to unburden themselves.

The point that this shtick drives home:
That the idiotic and bizarre things that come out of tRump's mouth lose their effect because of the sheer volume of idiotic and bizarre statements that spew out of that orange pustule.....but when they come out of someone else's mouth the absurdity is emphasized.

connections snipped from Jonathan Swan's wikipedia page..

Quote:

Swan became a national political reporter for Axio in December 2016. While at Axios, Swan broke several stories about the Trump administration. Former Washington Post journalist Ronald Kessler claimed in his 2018 book, The Trump White House: Changing the Rules of the Game, that Swan is among a handful of reporters to whom President Trump feeds information, with instructions to attribute quotes to an unnamed White House official.

Quote:


Swan was the first to report that that the US would pull out of the Paris Climate deal that Steve Bannon was about to be fired that Trump would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's captital; and that Trump would end the DACA executive action policy. Swan broke the news that Speaker Paul Ryan was retiring from Congress.

The decision to shelve detailed advice from the nation's top disease control experts for reopening communities during the coronavirus pandemic came from the highest levels of the White House, according to internal government emails obtained by The Associated Press.

The files also show that after the AP reported Thursday that the guidance document had been buried, the Trump administration ordered key parts of it to be fast-tracked for approval
