mistertim Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Yeah, the whole "I didn't want people to panic" thing is so ludicrous on its face for many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us going our own way on vaccines is not abnormal in fact I believe I read it’s pretty standard. (comparing a normal situation with this one presents obvious issues. It’s perfectly reasonable to think a normal president would have chosen different in this since it’s a pandemic. Just pointing it out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Usually I roll my eyes at the Monday morning quarterback stuff in politics. everyone always has the right answer after they get to watch the people actually responsible for responding pick an answer and we see results. It’s probably my biggest pet peeve in political discussions. Even smart and well informed people fall into it. It’s sort of like when a big Redskins story breaks and every local reporter spends the next two weeks telling us all about how they knew this, but for the years leading up to the story not a one of them ever said peep about any of it. it’s also why I have so much respect for people who are saying those things in real time - a good example would be the people who voted against the Iraq war. Usually they catch flack for what they’re doing, and they know they will, but they do it anyways because they know it’s the right thing to do. down the line it’s everyone else pretending to be that person, but the reality is they’re Monday morning QB’ing and don’t have the decency to admit it. It’s not really a respectable thing to do my mind. It’s easy. Takes little effort. And generally I consider it dishonest if not outright lying with the presentation. but... this one was different. And it’s not a person in a tough position with a big responsibility making a mistake. He quite literally just had motives other than doing what he thought was right. he went so far as to threaten education budgets if they didn’t do what he said. the whole thing is despicable. Unfortunately it’s expected. These days my focus is on the idiots that still support him. Though like him, I’m thinking they’re incapable of changing too.
