re: Let’s say Trump was right about Fauci/COVID

Trump and the governors were dealt a shut hand and were damned if they do and fanned if they don’t.

Well it’d have been nice if that coin flip landed on the side of the american people for once.

The early numbers were dire. And we didn’t know the mortality rate then. He did the right thing erring on the side of caution.

You can maybe argue later on he should have opened things up, but he still had to rely on the experts (which we now know may not have been telling him the full truth).

True, but the underlying theme of this thread is taking down the “deep state”, but then having to trust the “deep state” when “Patriots are in control”. Can’t have it both ways and Fauci isn’t “going down”.

I’ve gotten two PMs for not taking the Q stuff seriously enough so I have to stop commenting on it :(

I still think some of this is hindsight bias. If he reverses course and opens up and all hell breaks loose, he’s getting impeached. Especially when most conventional scientists were still erring on the side of caution and the vaccines were not done yet. I think Trump gets a bad rap from many on the right for his handling of it. He was put in an unwinnable position.

That is a fair take.

I upvoted it. I never thought I would upvote you.

Funny thing about that is Trump was posting Q stuff a couple of days ago and I wanted to add it to the thread, but it's locked. Credit to the mods for not feeding the insanity.

I say outlandish shite and it’s “trolling”. Ailsa does it and it’s a four-page thread. It’s the damndest thing

maybe. He'd just easily gotten past an impeachment 6 weeks prior to lockdown. He had an election in 8 months and it's just as likely he made choices based on the electoral optics of neglecting public health recommendations during a global pandemic.

Hey nc tiger. I’m guessing nc stands for North Carolina. How did Bidens fema work for you in North Carolina when disaster was declared because of the hurricane that hit your state and impacted thousands of people and Biden a fema was told not to help in areas where there may be Trump voters. Don’t u remember this bullshite from your Mickey Mouse bullshite of an administration. You are a piece of SHT

Dereliction of duty. Gross mismanagement. Whatever they want to make it, really.

I disagree that this is a legitimate or real threat. He had already been impeached twice. A hat trick doesn’t really move the needle for me. Either way, the dems sure as hell shite on him for his handling of covid anyway. You’d think they’d have impeached him for dereliction of duty or gross mismanagement they way they talked about how horrible the admin’s handling of it was.

But that’s really neither here nor there when it comes to people weirdly claiming he was leading the fight to reopen. He wasn’t as late as the dems, but several republicans (and his core base who he needed energized for that year’s election) beat him to the punch. And he publicly chastised those republicans for it.

Republicans at the capitol building were fighting for Louisiana to reopen at the same time trump was hosting and praising JBE for doing a “tremendous” job handling covid in Louisiana.
