QOTD -- Get Out Of The Way, Cadet Bone Spurs!



"One month ago, President Trump expressed great confidence in his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. “When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero,” he said, “that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.” Now the United States has more than 100,000 cases, the most in the world, and more than 1,300 deaths — and the pandemic is expanding. The “job” Mr. Trump has done is disastrously inadequate, failing to lead the government or marshal the country to face this crisis.

"Mr. Trump says he feels like a “wartime president.” The most important thing he can do now is to manage the pandemic as if in wartime: put it in the hands of commanders who know how to fight it." -- Washington Post editorial today.  Since the editorial was written, perhaps a day or so ago, the U.S. confirmed cases has jumped to 137,000 confirmed cases and 2,400 deaths.  That's how fast it's spreading, as Cadet Bone Spurs lies, distracts, dithers, flip flops and engages in petty but deadly gamesmanship with the governors and health care providers on the front lines.
