Lockdowns are only for political purposes after 4/30 and nothing else. Really believe when this virus occurred no one knew what China released. By 4/15 they knew

Which is when Mike Pence SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE FREAKING MESSSAGE. He did not. We suffered as a result. EPIC FAIL!

I agree. It was his duty to be the "bad guy" and rain on the billionaires' vaccine parade. Instead, he seemed to disappear into the wallpaper - in a very typical GOPe fashion.

Yep. We should have stayed with Trump’s original declaration, back in the “two weeks to flatten the curve” days, when he said we should be back up and running by Easter.

I said from minute one of this nonsense that there has been nothing real about any of it. It’s been all politics from the get-go.

Trump and Pence should have maintained control of the message, and should have diversified their team to include more than Fauci and Birx feeding them information.

This will be looked back on as one of the collosal political and societal blunders in world history. Maybe by that time, the fact that it has all been political gamesmanship will be freely admitted and recognized.
