There's nothing shameful in calling out the government's shortcomings in responding so far - Donald Trump's and other federal and state leaders' complete failure to respond early and forcefully are the reason we couldn't contain it with testing/contact tracing/quarantine and instead have to shut down the economy. Glad things are starting to kick into gear now, but dear leader was calling this a hoax in early March while Fox News decried to it's base that COVID19 was just an overblown political hit job designed to scare Americans that should know better. Newsflash, that's fucking unacceptable when responding to a public health crisis.
Remember when the people receiving intelligence briefings in Jan responded by selling stock and telling their cronies instead of taking action to prepare the country, all while assuring the public everything was fine? Remember when Donald Trump ignored these reports for two months and took no action to start ramping up test capacity or implementing social distancing measures because it's China's problem? Remember when travel bans were imposed after community spread had already taken hold? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Maybe if the president had just done his fucking job for a few weeks instead of focusing his efforts on undermining his own government agencies, lying about meaningless shit, peddling baseless conspiracy theories, calling people childish names, and generally having the temperment of a demented toddler, the"shameful" press wouldn't have to waste everyone's time calling out his bullshit.
I'd much rather be hearing about all his W's, but that requires actually winning which is rare these days despite what the Fox News propaganda machine is telling you.
