CDC director Redfield is in the hotseat, they’ve screwed the pooch bigly ...

Screwed the pooch, eh? That's serious!

Were patriots given short shrift by the CDC?

Do they think we just fell off the turnip truck?

Why stop with firing Redfield. Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a goat.

I love these Medieval expressions that are still in use though few (if any) know what they literally mean. :)

I know what screwed the pooch means. Grey Whiskers told me.

“Medieval expressions” lol. A good buddy who passed a couple of years had, as he often said, “a million of ‘em”.

The most apropos here would be “If Trump was able to fire all the people who need to be fired, he’d be busier’s a one-legged man at an ass-kicking contest!”.

I’ve managed to add a few Scottish phrases to my repertoire, but I use them cautiously to avoid havin’ me bum oot the windae.

I would add that the Scots have an incredible number of slang synonyms for “idiot”. Which are most effective when combined with the usual swear words.
