If this “shocking revelation” changes nothing now, why would it change anything back then?

Wise words. No one with any sort of power or platform should even try do good by anyone else, when on the other hand they can enrich themselves. And we lack the right to even expect it of them anyone who criticises the state of affairs is an idiot and clod.

Is Trump going to ramp up expensive testing and tracing now that audio is out there? Nope.

People who say he should’ve reported it because it would have changed something or saved lives are idiots and clods. He should have reported just because it’s a moral obligation, not because it would have made a world of difference as some pundits are saying. Trump will continue to be an asshole no matter how many access Hollywood or Woodward or pee tapes come out. Also, would you expect republicans to remove him during impeachment over this? I think not.

If famous author, journalist and millionaire Bob Woodward didn't say anything about the president's foreknowledge and deliberate downplaying of the danger and that's no big deal cause it wouldn't affect anything...

What's the point of a miscellaneous motherfuck like you bleating about it on a minor lefty newsblog?

Baby, it is a big deal Woodward didn’t say shit.

What’s the point of you putting words in my mouth that I didn’t say to justify your endless bullshit posting?

You're asking why say anything if nothing will change. I'm asking what you think you're changing.

Also, people have trouble with this but you remember all that 'normalizing' shit you weren't supposed to be doing back in 2017.

Giving a journalist a pass on covering up knowledge the president was knowingly killing hundreds of thousands for no reason so he can make money on the deal because the libs won't hold him accountable is pretty much that.

No one needs your permission to be mad at woodward. No one needs to convince you.

If it's not obvious what the difference is, maybe don't open your mouth, because it's obvious to everyone else in the room

I thought it’s obvious to everyone in the room Bob Woodward is a pompous ass who should’ve said what he knew when he knew it. Hes a journo. That does not seem mutually exclusive of saying bob Woodward’s reporting, then or now, Would/will not change how Trump or republicans approach Covid.

We all should be blathering on as loud as we can, even if it doesn’t change anything in their response.

My problem is all these “adults in the room” every day acting like this scandal-of-the-day is the final straw and trump will be chastened. Ppl still hollering this madness. Not Paul here he seeing clearly but the trump chumps and tv pundits never.

Also, 'endless posting?'. I don't think I've ever talked to you, so why are you reading posts by a guy you don't like?

This isn't a book report dude, you don't gotta read every post at the bottom of every article. Ya fuckin geek.
