I guess recently Mitch McConnell was mouthing off that the reason the Federal Government didn’t act sooner on the Corona Virus Pandemic was because they were busy with the impeachment trials. Even Trump said today in his daily press conference that was not the case. He pretended he was not distracted by the proceedings. LOL.
I kind of agree with McConnell, if Trump would have just resigned gracefully, we would probably be in a lot better shape right now.
As you know, Jim Jordan lied non-stop in defense of our law breaking president during the impeachment trials. It was nice of Noem to tap into such great ‘talent’.
Now, no jackets in Pierre and no ties in Sioux Falls. At least an empty suit is something to look at.
And, a woman governor, who won with the help of the #MeToo movement, is now asking for the help of those who are the enablers to predatory ways, but why are we surprised? Because for Republicans, isn’t an issue more about emotions and less about substance, anyhow?
Oh, and McConnell wants to blame the impeachment, huh? But for that to be true would mean that the Republicans took the impeachment process serious, which they didn’t.
Not to mention that Trump and his Trumpsters initially called the virus a hoax and Trump last year removed experts concerned about pandemics from his national security team.
The people that blame this virus on the impeachment are the same people who blamed 9/11 on Clinton and who every day deny science’s proper role in our society. They will always be a part of us, although, viral at best and really nothing, but a political pest.
( and Woodstock adds: “So, let me get this right”…. “A president can do whatever they want”…. “And an impeachment caused a virus”…. “Man, if you ask me, both of these arguments have Dershowitz written all over them”…. #PatheticAffirmativeDefenses…. )
I miss the old system of news headline and brushed over response. The tweets and Facebook bring serious topics into less significance but not acceptance. We didn’t know Kennedy was a philanderer until years after he was assassinated. Trump does things irregular and he’d not get in trouble without the tweets. I want to believe in our leaders while they hold office. The present environment is to dress them down after they’re elected. Yes, there were better leaders but present incompetence must be accepted until we elect a worse someone.
Isn’t this how you gauge democracy failure? When cattle get corraled from fear of a virus, isn’t this manipulation to set up an imperiled anarchy? The good stock gets separated from the superior.
I thought I could have been wrong on Noems leadership, but am right not a clue.
