And speaking of Michael Caputo, the hopeless hack installed at CDC as assistant director after he made nicey-nice with the president*, in addition to being, y'know, a hopeless hack, he's also a fount of dangerous lunacy. From the New York Times:
You understand that theyre going to have to kill me, and unfortunately, I think thats where this is going, Mr. Caputo, a Trump loyalist installed by the White House in April, told followers in a video he hosted live on his personal Facebook page. Mr. Caputo has 5,000 Facebook friends, and the video has been viewed more than 850 times. It has been shared by 44 followers...
I dont like being alone in Washington, he said, describing shadows on the ceiling in my apartment, there alone, shadows are so long. He then ran through a series of conspiracy theories, culminating in a prediction that Mr. Trump will win re-election but his Democratic opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr., will refuse to concede. And when Donald Trump refuses to stand down at the inauguration, the shooting will begin, he said. The drills that youve seen are nothing. He added: If you carry guns, buy ammunition, ladies and gentlemen, because its going to be hard to get.
First of all, and this is a warning for all those yahoos in camo, anyone who thinks that the likes of Michael Caputo, let alone Cadet Bonespurs in the White House, are going to be out there on the front lines of anything is radically overestimating the size and weight of their cojones. This is the most "Let's You and Him Fight" administration of all time*. If you look around at the revolution, and you can't figure out who the sucker is, it's you, George Lincoln.
