Agreed, completely. I think I posted similar thoughts in The Bar that I had when taking my morning Fauci, before realizing you had done this Ticker. Our country's fingerprints are all over this, along with CHY-NA. Even if Trump was misled (and I'm sure as shit not arguing he was, because fuck him and his warp speed), it was HIS JOB to know.

The blowback from this SHOULD be the beginning of the end, but I can just see 9 black robed bastards - likely in 5-4 fashion - upholding Brandon's mandate to go full steam ahead to that washed-out bridge. They do not, cannot, and WILL not admit they fucked up. It's not in their *weak-ass* character, so we all suffer the consequences.

We're fucked. There will be no happy ending here; there is no going back to 'normal.'. There are only bad outcomes and worse outcomes. And we don't get to choose those, either.
