I’d rather be in the position of defendIng my early response as opposed to defending my late response.

The WHO thought having all those reservations at the Trump RoachMotel would have been enough to get the attention of Fat Nixon…

It apparently wasn’t…

GOP Senators had plenty of time to dump their stock, so I don’t see what the problem is.

It really is beyond stupid to force WHO into a defensive posture while battling an epidemic. it splits their focus, and it’s a waste of time, resources, and money. Trump should be charged with 330 million (or 7.8 billion) counts of reckless endangerment, removed from offfice, and jailed for the rest of his life.

I’m not saying WHO should never come under any criticism. I’m saying: Now. Is. Not. The. Fucking. Time.

Trumpanzees, of course. They like to find blame anywhere but with the Impeached Imbecile.
