Indeed. I think Andrew Sullivan has become the essential writer of this period of American history, something I would have considered highly improbable 15 years ago.
Ezra Klein has a great line which is blowing up on Twitter:
Yeah I would bet this is going to feature in a bunch of attack ads.
At least the mammoth plague of locusts probably isn’t the fault of this POTUS - although I’m sure some conspiracy theories can be devised. But if he ever says, “I’m not responsible for locusts,” then he probably is. Start the inquiry!

“Oh, that’s what THEY say! Those are fake statistics, the state Medical Examiners are being very unfair, very disrespectful to the wonderful pharmaceutical industries, saying these people died of Covid, you don’t know that, people get sick and die of things, I have very good people, very very good people who tell me it’s not so.”* and of course other lies his fan club will eagerly swallow.
Considering that every thing that’s going wrong is Obama’s fault, I think it’s only fair that we punish him appropriately. He should have to resume the presidency and have to stay there until all of the problems are fixed. It’s only fair and I think he’d learn a valuable lesson about responsibility. And Mr Trump, who’s done a great job, should be able to take a well-deserved break.
So that rich Chinese guy wants to donate 500 thousand testing kits? Kinda thought some blubbering thanks would have been appropriate, under the circumstances. Has Darth Shit-for-brains even mentioned it? Any American companies volunteered to match it?
Sedentary older people with pre-existing conditions and bad lifestyles? That’s the Fox audience. All the [del]booger-eating[/del] bright young [del]Nazis[/del] conservatives watch Breitfart now that Fox has turned on the God-Emperor. Yes, Trump Youth will live!
