Conspicuously absent is any mention of honesty or even transparency as new virtues to strive for.

The only thing they regret is that they couldn't keep their propaganda straight last time.

The CDC let people die to manipulate the election and focused more on how their actions made the politicians look, than helping Americans.

Even this evil monster is still playing politics, while blaming their 2 week Covid testing delay failure and their flip-flopping mask message...somehow on Trump "meddling." This false characterization of hers is in fact, political meddling and just a lame partisan talking point.

We all know the first federal Covid tests shipped to the states on Feb 4, 2020. They botched it by not providing needed supplies, such as proper test tubes, swabs, and hardware, which allowed states to pretend they couldn't find a cup or swab to make due with, for that political effect. They also had a contamination of the first batch, a common mistake we saw most countries struggle with continually with Covid test manufacture.

...between these two problems, Covid tests took an extra two weeks. This had nothing to do with political meddling or Trump, although partisan news and dishonest evil CDC directors will continue to say that one false political talking point line, "Trump botched testing rollout." After complaining that Trump failed, when the CDC caused this two week delay, states failed to actually use the tests they got and most of them were trashed. It was all just letting people die for political gaslighting and posturing.

The reality is as President, he did his job very well at handling Covid, and Biden did terrible, completely ignoring it and the people dying.... and that chaps everyone's ass so badly, because they care more about Trump looking bad than Americans surviving..

This is correct.

It's amazing how we little people can analyze the situation and come up with the right answers. These people are fucking evil and hate our guts.

They take the low bid and have to have a diverse workforce. Any time you are forced to hire tokens you lose a slot for a smart person. Do that across the board and you have a compromised organization. The only way to fix it is the only road they refuse to travel.
