No. The topic is providing an example of why people should not vote for Trump. I was simply providing reasoning for why I will. Should I delete it?
Fair point.
Do you believe it beneath Trump for this to be the case?
Not just claiming. Claiming based on their investigative reporting and speaking directly with someone from the Kushner team who said this was the case.
I already believe most of them are beyond the scope of merely corrupt. But yes, this is sacrificing American lives at the alter of power for a single man.
No. Nor any other politician.
No. That is not “investigative reporting”. It is gossip. Was the scientific method used?
So vague desire to “avoid socialism” (whatever that means) is more important than not rewarding someone who may have made a political decision that cost tens of thousands of American lives.
That’s good honesty there. Appreciate it.
There was less evidence to support the theory that Bernell Trammell was killed over his support of Trump than @NebraskaFootball provided in his OP to back his suggestion regarding this topic, but that didn’t stop people from jumping to the conclusion that Trammell was murdered over politics.
Consistency.

I can’t express my true thoughts about the current administration in light of this information without breaking the TOS, so I’ll just say Trump HAS to go as a result of this information. The blood of 150,000+ American citizens is on his hands. I will vote for Biden in November. The lives of Americans are riding on this.

It is horrific. Absolutely and unquestionably horrific. This makes him shooting someone on 5th Avenue look like nothing in comparison.

Kushner has a long track record of failure.

What it exposes is The belief that socialism is good when it help red states an bad when it helps blue states.
It’s not convincing that Kushner’s “secret plan” would have ever actually gone anywhere regardless, considering his track record.
He and Ivanka are in their positions for the “credibility,” connections, and influence it gives them to benefit themselves, not to do any sort of actual work for the country.
They are complete grifters.
We know nepotism has always existed but it was tempered by the fact polliticians knew it would backfire on them. Trump has normalized nepotism and has not been held accountable. Hence future Presidents of all political persuasions will feel emboldened to indulge in this behaviour.
Thats my biggest problem with Trump. He has lowered the bar for Presidential behaviour so much that future presidents will push that bar even lower.

From the article:
“Trusting his vaunted political instincts, President Trump had been downplaying concerns about the virus and spreading misinformation about it - efforts that were soon amplified by Republican elected officals and right-wing media figures.”
Is the Trump administration still pushing for schools to reopen?
Incompetent. Dangerous. And willing to gamble with tens of thousands of American lives to maintain power. Trump and his entire miserable family/merry band of collaborators has got to go.

Fair point for sure. But we have no reason to believe that NIH, FDA, and CDC were not also clamoring for a federal response. And got overruled by Trump, who owns the final decision and opted to go with the “kill Blue state citizens” strategy instead.

It is complete and total madness.
Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushner’s team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy,” said the expert.
MAGAcountry is a difficult position here. After politicizing the first 4 months of the pandemic as a blue-state problem, it will be very hard to deny this claim.

That is your view on socialism correct? If you want someone else’s you’ll have to ask them. Correct?
Still better than having AOC call the shots. 1000 times better.
