Every Trump political appointee needs to be thrown behind bars. Every single one.

U.S. handling of American evacuees from Wuhan increased coronavirus risks, watchdog finds

In a notable rebuke, the special counsel criticized the general counsel’s office, led by Trump appointee Robert Charrow, for its “attempts to shame the whistleblower,” such as by publishing a nine-page supplemental report that repeatedly highlighted inconsistencies in her account and circulating it with members of Congress.

“It is reprehensible that HHS [general counsel] would use the investigation as an attempt to discredit [the whistleblower] when she showed tremendous courage in bringing these allegations forward,” Kerner wrote in his letter to Biden, adding that he worried about the effect on future whistleblowers.

I think it's time to change the title of this thread. Perhaps:

"The tRump Administration's Incompetent Response to Coronavirus"

or simply:

"tRump's Incompetent Response to Coronavirus"

There are still Covid-19 deniers and MAGA cultists out there who've been exposed or have mild cases of covid. I wonder if they realize this? Even if they're lucky enough to not be seriously ill most likely they've infected others. I wonder how they'd feel if because of the virus they passed on to someone else that person ended up in the ICU or died?

The f'ing Trump clown show.

From the article

But the finger-pointing and portrayals of some episodes prompted critics to say that former Trump administration officials who managed the pandemic response have turned to a new project: managing their legacies.

Pretty much.

“No, not at all. We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”

“We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five. And those people are all recuperating successfully.”

“There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm — historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet.”

“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”
