What the Hell Was Trump Talking About?

He said this on Thursday:
If Bob Woodward thought what I said was bad, then he should’ve immediately, right after I said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let them know.
What "authorities" does he have in mind? The Inter-Galactic Overlords? The International Criminal Court?

He's the fucking president, for the love of Your Dear and Fluffy Lord.

Now, as for those who are blaming Bob Woodward for this, I am going to copy this from Balloon Juice:
Nobody with a firing brain cell did not know the truth about the deadliness of the Coronavirus when these conversations were being taped by Woodward.

The only people who refused to believe all the scientists and doctors and the smart people and deny all the images of death and grief and destruction on the screens right in front of their faces were die-hard Trump Culters or Republican sociopaths who short-sightedly valued the “economy” over the needs of Americans. (Which tanked even worse than it could have. And those people actually took plenty of precautions because, fuck, dying from COVID is what the little people do.)

At some point, we have to hold The Stupids accountable for choosing to ignore what the vast majority of the rest of us decided was the right thing to do. Trump included. THEY caused the deaths of many, many innocent people and even now are persisting in places like ND/SD, not because Bob Woodward didn’t immediately release his tapes in March, but because they are fucking, God-damned stupid people.

I love what we do in NM with these folks: tell them to STFU and put on the mask or GTFO of my business, restaurant, gym or clinic. We fine or shut down businesses who give the Gov’s orders the finger. We’re persisting with our rules even though were at an R0 of 0.75. Mostly because we’ve got the whiny Red parts of our state acting like this is either a hoax or the fucking end of the world because they have to wear a mask to Walmart, so Gov. Lujan is being absolutely merciless in her refusal to release restrictions. I. LOVE. IT.

At some point a few weeks ago, I just stopped agonizing over what this Governor or that Legislator or those cities did or did not do in response to the Coronavirus and focused on what my community and state was doing. Because I don’t give any more fucks about these people. What kind of “Rugged Independence” is it that you’ll literally do a 180 degree reversal your beliefs just because the Great Orange MAGA Man has declared it to be the New Truth?

Every step of the way on Corona, Trump has revealed himself as the complete and utter failure we all knew he is. Every stupid decision, every news conference where he told people to inject bleach, every loud mouthed demand for a state or a city or a sports team to “OPEN NOW!!” has led to the giant lead in the polls for Biden, and in a sad, tragic way, it had to happen for us to get rid of this demon. God forbid he’d have done a marginally decent job and just let the smart people handle this, we’d be looking at a shoo-in this fall.

The rest of us are the sane ones. They’re the minority. Fuck them. We owe them NOTHING. And when this is over they should get absolutely NO MERCY. Their party needs to be run so deep into the ground it never finds its way out of the swirling hot magma at the center of the Earth.

Thank you for posting that. I live in a tourist town and most of our visitors are good. Every single business in town says "masks required ". We put up big signs on the highway to repeat the message. Labor Day Weekend was scary. We had way too many effin'idiots come here who refused to honor our simple request. I've been too chickenshit to call these a**holes out but not anymore. Pardon my language.

Same here, was glad to see that message as well.

However among the Rethugs the Minitru is working well
and resulting in hot sponts in the other wise low covid
cases here in Mass. Seems you can lead them to water
and toss them at it and the contort physics to never
get wet. I regard them as lazy and dangerous.

So for the love of pete.. wear a mask.

Eck!

The trouble with requesting compliance from Trumpites and other russian/nazi trolls in public is that they're heavily armed, angry, aggrieved, self righteous and primed to kill the enemy. The request 'please wear a mask, sir, might be the last words you speak at Walmart. Because everyone is heavily armed and you probably 'needed killing' as they say in Texas. This is not new for the USA, just magnified and exaggerated and made real by white American fascists. You know, good guys with guns, according to local police.
And, when you murder for trump there is always that sweet sweet nazi crowdsource (Russian) swag.
