On Woodward-- anyone who didn't see 60 mins spoiler

Okay.

I had to process that interview with Woodward and I review things and the release recordings. I am not blaming Woodward for not coming forward sooner. Trump was calling him and giving all this information. I humbly suggest that Trump thought he could con an esteem journalist like Woodward to his "side" so if someone as respected as Mr. Woodward started writing favouring Trump's talking points it would be a win for Trump.

You want to be angry be angry at all those who enable Trump daily who know and see everything and yet they do not quit and call a press conference warning people of just how dangerous Trump is!

Blame Bolton, Kelly even Mattis who after leaving and right now remain silent after seeing all the Bullshit they saw! Why are they not shaking McConnell and the GOP into protecting our country and Constitution.

They were both tasked with being in charge of "fighting" Covid. They did what they were told to do...screw it up, help our enemies, make a ton of $$$ for tRump and pals and lie to US citizens. That is how they "took care" of Covid from the beginning.

7. Drump was correct when he said he could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue

and not lose any voters. He basically did worse than that but his "base" doesn't care at all. Furthermore, i don't think it will sway undecideds because if you fucking have not seen that he is monster yet you never will.

8. Ronna is blaming Biden for his "disastrous record" on the virus. Seriously.

The replies are hilarious.



Joe Biden can’t run from his disastrous record responding to the coronavirus.

The truth hurts, Joe!

Joe Biden can’t run from his disastrous record responding to The Great Plague of London in 1665.

The truth hurts, Joe!

to die. Heard Schiff the other day on CNN say, nonchalantly, that he got the same early briefings. So in my mind, everyone failed. And people died.

While Woodward was told this some time in February he has said it took him until May to verify what he was told. Could he have pressed harder to get his confirmation sooner? You would have to ask him. But there was a whole slew of insiders that got this same information. Why did Bolton not include this in his book? Because of the backlash he would have gotten as someone with first hand knowledge who sat on it. All of those Trump insiders have a whole lot more blood on their hands than does Bob Woodward.

Missing from this discussion is what did the Intelligence committees and the gang of 8 know and when did they know it? Was this information withheld from them? People need to be held accountable. You just can't fuck up on this scale and get away with it.
