I think you can give up the charade you care about responsible spending. Neither the partisan left nor right cares. They only care when the other side does it.

You are right they don't, it was just always funny watching far left libs whine about Trump's spending. And I agree he spends way too much.

Sen. Mitch McConnell admitted to Bret Baier of Fox News, that he was wrong to tell Lara Trump that the Obama Administration didn't leave behind a "pandemic playbook" for the Trump Administration to follow. "I was wrong," McConnell said. "They did leave behind a plan. So, I clearly made a mistake in that regard."

In fact, Politico reported in March the existence of a document, written by Obama officials, that laid out how the incoming Trump Administration should respond if faced with a pandemic. The 69 page document contained hundreds of recommendations for dealing with many of the problems plaguing the nation's coronavirus response - from shortages of personal protective equipment to the need for unified public guidance on the crisis. It simply doesn't appear as though any of these recommendations were followed.

A 69 page document on how to handle a global pandemic? I have technical manuals on SCBA gear with 3x the pages.

Wow. Lots of angry, white, middle aged Trump supporters clamoring about 'fake news'. How novel. Oh to be a fly on the wall in their mobile homes at night. Betcha there's lots of screaming and fussing keeping all their kin folk up.

BTW, what exactly is the new slogan for ol' dumb Donald this Fall... hard to keep track. Hmm, it was MAGA, then Keep America Great (KAG)... now, what... Forget About Greatness?

Don't you know, the slogan is OBAMAGATE!

We will have to see. The Dems are well served just to let DJT continue to be outlandish.

it also depends on voters holding DJT or Governors accountable for covid decisions

I saw an article that all of the Governors polling numbers were up (i.e. >70%), except for the one from Georgia (<40%.)

It was probably kept short with Trump's attention deficit in mind. It's common knowledge that Trump doesn't like to read. His staff reduces his daily briefs to bullet point summaries, and every page must include pictures, or else Trump won't even look at them at all. This is how a parent typically encourages a child in pre-school to begin an interest in books.

Interesting take. So you assume it was written after the election?

Interesting.

I'm sure the Obama administration wrote the plan 3,4,5 years before the election with the possibility of Trump winning on their minds.

Either way, at least they had the foresight to put one together. Donnie exotic didn't even have the intelligence to open it.

As usual, Trumps blaming someone else is like watching him pee into the wind.

Thanks Obama.

Per Politico:

"The Obama White House National Security Council left the Trump Administration a detailed document on how to respond to a pandemic. The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, was called the "Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents".

The playbook - 40 pages plus appendices - contained step-by-step advice on questions to ask, decisions to make, and which federal agencies were responsible for what. It included sample documents that officials could use for inter-agency meetings. And it explicitly listed novel coronaviruses as one of the kinds of pathogens that could require a major response.

The color-coded, checklist-style document addressed issues such as testing, funding, personal protective equipment, emergency declarations, border control measures, diplomacy, the use of the military, public communications, even mortuary services."

****************************

By all accounts, this "playbook", with its advanced warnings and suggestions, went completely ignored by the Trump Administration.

Those novel coronaviruses have a 14 to 21 incubation period?? Nope.

Politico? 🤣
