You are saying getting effective vaccines developed ,approved and starting to be distributed in a matter of months not the usual years is incompetence?
Trump said there were only a few cases in the country, and they would be gone by the end of March 2020. He didn't have anything to do with the professional bureaucrat response other than make those poor schmucks look bad when he suggested the disinfectant and bright lights were the way to go. Could that moron even spell vaccine do you think? And his policies were fantastic....and led to the largest recession since the Great Depression. Bravo Dear Leader!!
Oh yes, he did have the 5 IQ points necessary to sign the paperwork saying that folks with triple digit IQs could begin working the vaccines. Thank God he isn't so mentally retarded that he can still sign his name.

I am not blind, I believe he had the signing of the paperwork televised. I didn't see anyone whispering the letters of his name so he could scribble it, so I give him appropriate credit for doing what the professionals convinced him of in the Oval Office, after they took away his rattle and pacifier and pushed him in front of the cameras.
And obviously I'm not blind, because I watched the press conference where the bright lights and disinfectant ideas were treated by the press far better than anyone above the age of 8 should have. Riotous laughter should have been the response. If not shock. So no...eyes are great. What did you see during that press conference? I mean, besides a misogynist xenophobic draft dodging con man who stiffs vendors as part of his regular business operations and appears to be a sexual predator of some sort?

The present is expensive. What, you missed the 70's? You've mentioned that inflation before, what, suffering amnesia now? You just figured everything would be peaches and cream for the rest of your life?

And you figure you and your like minded Republicrats will replace Leahy this election cycle? What with all this anger? Or will Vermont stay tried and true and not like you?
