@zahlanzi saidTake care handling that document. They didn't actually have a brown crayon in the box, so they improvised.

Heh i imagine the non-existent plan was a 1 page draft by Trump written in crayon with comments by Ivanka and Jared on the margins
@zahlanzi saidOh, please. the United States is averaging almost a million vaccine doses a day for the past week.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do better, but the idea that there's no plan is nonsense.

@zahlanzi saidYou do know that its the swamp epidemiologist's roll create these plans right, not the president? I'm sure you think it's great creepy old uncle joe is getting in the way of that process for appearances, but its nothing more than that...just appearances. The man can hardly formulate a complete sentence without being doped with uppers. The only thing different, is now all the swamp scum that was doing everything possible to manifest "Trump's" failure as president will all suddenly start going out of their way to be extra helpful.

Where was Amazon while Trump was dealing with it? Big corporate handlers of Joe Biden suddenly are stepping up to help him save the day!
@joe-shmo saidI'm sure there was a plan. The worker bees do what they're paid to do. It just wasn't a Trump plan. Trump couldn't organise a pisss-up in a brewery.

@kewpie saidDo you honestly believe Biden is rolling out a plan? For god sake the man has dementia, and likely less epidemiological expertise than the average joe shmo! Its amazing the level of cognitive dissonance there is about this...now that its your guy the media coverage is ultra positive...and every one suddenly thinks he's superman! He's already being labeled as the greatest president of all time for fuk sake!

These are literaly the conversations that take place with any president about matters that require expertise:
Donald Trump: We need to get these vaccines distributed
Everyone in the government: ...........crickets..........
Amazon: We are going to help get these vaccines distributed!
Joe Biden: We need to get these vaccines distributed.
Everyone in the government: Great Job Joe! Someday you'll be the President!
@joe-shmo saidIf Jeff Bezos were in charge of the vaccine, we'd all be vaccinated by next Friday, or Wednesday for Prime members.

@joe-shmo said1. It isn't Biden's job to roll out a plan. It's his job to choose to listen to the advice of experts who aren't just ignorant yes-men, then to choose from their options, then to publicly indicate his choices. Most competent CEOs do things this way. There are a few brilliant mavericks but they're not team players and don't go into politics as a rule.

2. Biden doesn't have dementia. He has all the usual failings of most 70+ folk - occasional memory blanks (it's related to the amount of stuff stored in the brain, not to physical damage), occasionally misspeaking or mispronouncing a word (his lifelong stutter must take a lot of additional concentration to avoid it), and fading eyesight. Teleprompters are a necessity for anyone who needs to be coherent in front of a camera, unless you want them to just spout whatever stuff comes into their heads.
3. Biden's not my guy, I am not an American. The Americans I know are proud to be Americans, and they've all struggled to maintain that pride for the last few years as the disintegration of American democracy was happening. The word they're using most now is relieved. That includes Republican voters too. Not all Republicans followed the Trump caravan.
4. The mainstream media coverage hasn't changed, you're just paying more attention to it now. Nobody's offering truckloads of fakenews to swamp the airwaves.
5. Biden isn't the greatest president of all time, but he's been given the hardest job since Abraham Lincoln. I'm not expecting miracles. Miracles are not what made America great.
It's my fervent hope that America can repair the damage that's been done to America and all it stands for.
We're all rooting for America out here, you know.
@joe-shmo saidyeh, babe. Good things happening, Trump takes credit. Bad things happen, someone else is to blame and he has nothing to do with it. Mark of a true leader.

In the sense that he isn't supposed to draw up every little detail. He still has to appoint experts, give general guidance, draft an executive order or two to facilitate execution.

"The Biden administration has identified critical supply shortages of 12 items needed to help fight the coronavirus pandemic and promised to use wartime powers to help solve them."
"5. Biden isn't the greatest president of all time, but he's been given the hardest job since Abraham Lincoln. I'm not expecting miracles. Miracles are not what made America great. "
Comedians have posted memes with fake headlines months ago along the lines of "Biden president for a day already, 400k Covid deaths. What is he doing??" Those jokes have already started to become reality.

@sh76 saidYou do know how Jeff Bezos treats his lowly drones, sorry, wage slaves, sorry, "highly appreciated employees", don't you?
If Jeff Bezos were in charge of the vaccine, we'd all be vaccinated by next Friday, or Wednesday for Prime members.
If Jeff Bezos were in charge, everybody who owned more than 1% of Amazon's stock would've been vaccinated already, and his entire workforce could go hang themselves. That's how he's always treated them, after all.

@kewpie saidIn fact, Ronald Reagan - one of the lynch pins, along with Maggie Milk Snatcher, of the neo-capitalist movement that resulted in Trump and Johnson - was officially, clinically diagnosed with dementia during his presidency, although his disease wasn't admitted to until many years later and the fact that he had it while in charge of the red button, AFAIAA, wasn't revealed until his death.
2. Biden doesn't have dementia.
And Donald Trump - and this too according to actual medical specialists, not just some commentator on tumbler or parler - shows definite signs of it himself. Either that or Korsakov. Doddering, stumbling, needing his hand held descending stairs (by a 90-year-old Elisabeth II, no less!), repeating himself - there's something definitely not right with that boy. I'm not qualified to diagnose what, exactly, but those who are have been saying that there's something neurologically wrong with him.
Anyone who claims Biden has dementia is either delusional or (much more likely) dishonest. What he has is I'm-too-old-to-care-for-style-over-substance syndrome. Most of his colleagues and internet agitators on the left, and all on the right, should learn from that.
