On the subject of Trump I got this from a friend who lives in the US this evening. The tweet he refers to was later deleted by the author btw.
We don't have a CDC any more, T***p wrecked it. The anti-government crowd got their wish and now come the consequences. Judd Legum: "I feel like more people should be talking about the fact that Trump fired the entire pandemic response team two years ago and then didn't replace them. Trump also cut funding for the CDC, forcing the CDC to cancel its efforts to help countries prevent infectious-disease threats from becoming epidemics in 39 of 49 countries in 2018. Among the countries abandoned? China . . ."
Consider the frightening tweet this afternoon from Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli:
That's "Homeland Ken," who as Virginia gubernatorial candidate wanted to make oral sex between consenting adults illegal and in his last position wanted to make speaking Spanish on the job a fireable offense. Now he's one of the wingnut temps answering the phones in the offices of our dismantled government, asking Twitter what's up for epidemiological info.
