Donald Trump fires intelligence watchdog who sparked impeachment process

Michael Atkinson, inspector general for the intelligence community, alerted Congress to whistleblower complaint

Donald Trump has fired the inspector general for the intelligence community who handled the whistleblower complaint that led to his impeachment, prompting fierce criticism from Democrats.


The US president chose a Friday night, with America consumed by the coronavirus pandemic, to tell the House of Representatives and Senate intelligence committees of his decision to dismiss Michael Atkinson.


In a letter, Trump claimed it was “vital” that he had confidence in the appointees serving as inspectors general, and “that is no longer the case with regard to this inspector general”.


The president would nominate an [corrupt] individual who has his full confidence at a later date, he added.

He added: “At a time when our country is dealing with a national emergency and needs people in the intelligence community to speak truth to power, the president’s dead of night decision puts our country and national security at even greater risk.”

Next up - America claimed it was “vital” that they had confidence in the appointee serving as President, and “that is no longer the case with regard to this President”.

This comment would be correct only if the rest of the world was somehow also doing no or less testing.

Hint: they're not. They're also doing "more testing" and their infection rates are still far below the USA.

Pull up your pants man.

US as of yesterday has done 1.5million tests. Next closest to them is germany at 900k, followed by italy and russia at 600k, south korea at 450k

Pull up your pants man.
 
Oh I didn't realise my 'pearl' was a jibe or an insult.

I got an F for math - so no breaking news there.

My opinion ? Dr Fauci ? wtf are you talking about ?

But then you know exactly what I'm doing - just highlighting your demi-god is a full of crap and nothing he says is real.

Ps: I said I'm immune to insults and unlike you can't be triggered.

I never said I'm unable to trade insults - that's what cantankerous old farts are best at.

I really don't get it.

Yes, we mock Trump, some of us despise him - some of us love Obama.

Wtf has that got to do with what's happening right now !


Over a quarter million Americans are now infected with this monster virus and their curve has barely started.

The man in charge has golfed, rallied and patted himself on the back while his people burn and the best you can do is whataboutism, Obama this, Hilary that, libtards...TDS....

His health-workers are dying, his people are dying and all he can offer is he stopped the Chinese in January.

He has anti-science and family morons over-ruling medical experts and every day more die because of it

When will you get this is not about politicians who by and large are all fskwits anyway.

It's about mothers and sisters and sons and grandmothers who are dying every time the political elite try and stretch their dicks another millimeter.

They have fsked up. They know it, we know it, you know it.

That's not something I get any joy from.

I just don't get how anyone in good conscience can continue to support anyone who cares so little about anyone at all besides himself.

Outside of this forum I'm sure you are better than that.

Once again, how do you reconcile this with what the experts said.


For those who have issues watching videos.

MARK LEVIN: Welcome back. Dr. Fauci, let me ask you a question. You've been doing this a long time. Have you ever seen this big of a coordinated response by an administration to such a threat? A health threat?



DR. ANTHONY FAUCI: Well, we've never had a threat like this and the coordinated response has been, there are a number of adjectives to describe it. Impressive, I think is one of them.


I mean, we're talking about all-hands on-deck is that I, as one of many people on a team, I'm not the only person, since the beginning that we even recognized what this was. I have been devoting almost full time on this -- almost full time.


I'm down at the White House virtually every day with the Taskforce. I'm connected by phone throughout the day and into the night and when I say night, I'm talking twelve, one, two in the morning. I'm not the only one. There's a whole group of us that are doing that. It's every single day.


So I can't imagine that that under any circumstances that anybody could be doing more. I mean, obviously, we're fighting a formidable enemy -- this virus. This virus is a serious issue here.


Take a look at what it's done to China, to Europe, to South Korea. It is serious and our response is aimed, and I know you've heard that many, many times, and this is true. I mean, I deal with viruses my entire career.


When you have an outbreak virus, if you leave it to its own devices, it will peak up and then come back down. What we learned from China, that letting it peak up is really bad, because it can do some serious damage. So we are focused now, like a laser on doing whatever we can, and there are two or three things that deserve to be mentioned -- to make this peak actually be a mound, which means you're going to have suffering, you're going to have illness, you're going to have death. But it's not going to be the maximum that the virus can do.


A couple of ways to do that. The first was, as we say, all the time, the very timely decision on the part of the President to shut off travel from China, because we saw that there was this possibility of people coming in and seeding in the country. We did it early.


And as it turned out, there were relatively few cases in the big picture of things that came in from China. Unfortunately, for our colleagues, and many of whom are my friends and people I've trained actually in Medicine, in European countries, they didn't do that. And they got hit really hard and are being hit really hard. The first thing.


Second thing, when the infection burden shifted from China to Europe, we did the same thing with Europe. We shut off travel from Europe, which again was another safeguard to prevent influx from without in.


The other way you do it is by containment and mitigation. And now everybody knows what the word mitigation means because it's the things that we're doing. No crowds, work from home. Don't go to places that you can be susceptible. Ten people in a room, not 50 and a hundred people. Stay away from theatres.


Take the elderly people who are susceptible and have them do self- isolation. Stay out of bars, stay out of restaurants.


If you're in an area where there's a lot of coronavirus activity, close the bars, close the restaurants. That's heavy duty mitigation.


So I think with all of those things going on at the same time, I believe we will -- we're already doing it, but you just can't notice it yet because you have the dynamics of the virus going up. We're trying to put it down. You're not really sure quantitatively what you're doing, but you can be actually certain that we're having an impact on it.

The point you were making from all of that ?

That it's a new virus and took everyone by surprise.

100%

But it took most of the world by surprise 3 weeks before it took America by surprise.

It's now what, 4, 5 weeks later and America is still not under lockdown ?

The point is you don't have a clue.

You missed the part where the expert said the administration couldn't do more and how impressed he was? This must be trolling. How many times have you been told this? As stated previously, don't believe the experts believe Dave from MyBB.

Now insult some moar!
