You betcha. 

Silly of me not to see the close parallel between an airline incident and a year long pandemic.

You are consistent at missing the point.  Bravo

Where I will be interested to see is what the thought processes were after the travel ban and just before the social distancing measures were announced.  What was done behind the scenes that we are not aware of.  That is the time period that is most relevant in my view.

Whose thought processes?  Trump's or the epidemiological experts?

 

Meanwhile, since you bring up the distancing measures, Trump does his job by demonstrating more leadership regarding the importance of distancing:

Trump accuses Biden of dodging the spotlight by pushing 'virtual convention'

This year’s presidential campaign has been largely put on hold in recent weeks amid the coronavirus’ spread.

You haven't expressed a cogent point.

Does that seem political to you?  No it seems like timely oversight to me.

When you are in the mist of a battle it does no good to try to analyze how you got there while trying to solve the problem. However, that’s only half of it, it really is detrimental to have someone undermine your plan while you’re implementing it.

I don't understand the logic of that.

I know it was fantasy, but I would have hoped the general public could see the ways the Democratic Party has tried to undermine the Presidency since day one.  What is much worse, they can’t even come together to fight this pandemic, which threatens our way of life, without trying to push their socialist agenda.  

The constant battle between Trump and the press is annoying, neither is capable of acting like an adult.

In Wisconsin, Republican lawmakers forced citizens to make a choice between their health and their vote. All for a primary election that could easily have been postponed until the COVID-19 danger simmers down. ...................neither are the repukes.

Interestingly enough, Bernie Sanders drops out of the race after the Wisconsin primary.  If he had dropped out prior there probably wouldn’t have been so many people standing in line while not practicing social distancing.

I don't think they're the ones needing the help. There is a major difference between accountability and the spam job you've done to this board since the outbreak.

BS.  I have not posted anything that's not true.  Even the opinion pieces are based on fact.

You are simply in denial if you are unable to hold Trump accountable for things he is clearly guilty of saying or (not) doing. And it continues. 

Trump is clearly conducting a personal vendetta against inspector generals and other professionals for simply doing their job.  Trump refuses to accept any of the oversight required to avoid waste and abuse in our government. 

He wants to be king.

Trump removes independent watchdog for coronavirus funds, upending oversight panel

The move comes as Trump makes a broad push against inspectors general scrutinizing his actions.

 

Trump has also begun sharply attacking Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm, following a report from her office that described widespread testing delays and supply issues at the nation’s hospitals.

“Another Fake Dossier!” Trump tweeted, mentioning Grimm’s tenure as inspector general during the Obama administration. He didn’t mention, though, that Grimm has been serving as a federal watchdog since 1999, spanning administrations of both parties.

You're getting mocking responses as though the guy hasn't openly expressed admiration for Putin, Kim Jong Un and MbS. Never mind his constant efforts to silence all criticism from the media, his petty attacks on every person with whom he disagrees, his appeals to populism, firing anyone who challenges him in the slightest, openly saying that Michigan shouldn't get more federal aid because the governor hasn't shown enough gratitude...

Nah. No dictatorial cosplay going on whatsoever.
