Atlas Resigns As COVID-Related Hospitalizations Reach New Record High | Talking Points Memo

If trump and minions have not already committed crimes during this endeavor it’s only a matter of time. Plenty of time between now and January 20, 2021. Let’s hope the new AG takes notice and decides to bring charges.

To everyone that’s sanguine COVID vaccines will ultimately be safe and effective after enduring a rigorous testing process:

Yeah, I’ll be rushing out to get one at the first availability.

Not. I think I’ll let few million guinea pigs precede me.

Was at a funeral service on Saturday when a friend says, “I thought this pandemic was supposed to be over after the election. I guess it wasn’t a hoax”. I told him the Democrats conspired with people all over the world to kill people and blame it on trump. Dumbfuck.

It looks like Fux is going to go through some agonizing reappraisal.

“I worked hard with a singular focus — to save lives"

So why was your proposed policy explicitly designed to kill as many people as possible?

Have a jolly holiday back in Palo Alto, doctor. You helped create this.

To be honest Atlas didn’t cause the pandemic to go viral/out of control. It was and is tRumps unwillingness to handle the situation like a leader should have. He knew in November of 2019 that there was a health emergency in China that was according to intelligent sources changing the patterns of everyday life. He ignored the information because he was already in re-election mode and he wanted nothing to affect the stock market which at the time he equated with re-election. So he ignored it BUT he told Israel. Between Nov 2019 and when cases started to rise he praised President XI about 15 times on how he was handling the virus in China:

“Just days before the U.S. recorded its first death from Covid-19, Trump touted China’s government for its transparency and hard work to defeat the coronavirus that causes the illness.”-https://www.politico.com/news/2020/04/15/trump-china-coronavirus-188736

Bottom line is TRUMP did not give a rats ass about people in the US-Period. It’s hard for people to think that anyone can be that inhumane but that’s the bottom line-he just didn’t care. He especially didn’t care when the virus first hit Blue States hard because that would just feed into his re-election plans-less Democratic’s to vote. He didn’t even care when he caught it-knowing he would get the absolute best treatment, including experimental treatment that the tax payers money could buy. Family caught it-didn’t care. Super spreader rallies attendees caught it-didn’t care. Virus spreading across the country because of his inability to lead - didn’t care. 268K Americans dead and 13.6M and he doesn’t give a shit.

Atlas was just a distraction. The people who should have reigned tRump in were the doctors on the task force, not the farcical group of clowns led by Kushner. Those doctors stood next to him and allowed tRump to lie, lie,lie without any push back. Atlas didn’t fail the country-those doctors did by not fulfilling their oaths to do no harm and they did harm by not telling the country tRump was full of it. Atlas was all blow and no go because the MAGAT’s already were riding the tRump train. The other doctors for months knew tRump was a human construct devoid of empathy & compassion and especially leadership abilities and they didn’t step up. Atlas will just be an unimportant footnote in history.

What’s worse is we now find out the Department of Labor, responsible for UI, for the most part have been undercounting the unemployment numbers. No one should be surprised by this however.

And that is why the Trump’s base are stoooooopid. We’re in the 21st century, with 24/7 news coverage, with the internet that can cover every happening that’s happening as it happens, and they only heard what Trump wanted them to hear. :sob:

Anybody else remember Spring Break 2020 and DeSantis let the kids party like it was 1999? Remember that company that tracked the cell phones from FL back to wherever?

Things got interesting then.
