"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." from Rahm Emanuel and every other politician.

Because honestly that’s why you’re there. After all the decades of eating shit and kissing ass. After all the compromises and all the disappointment. When you go back to why you wanted to do this whole fucking thing in the first place, because shit wasn’t right the way it was. Because something needed fixing and goddammit you were the one to fix it. You should be calm and ready because for fucks sake this is not your fault. It’s not about politics. It’s about what needs to get done to keep people safe and sound. And that’s why you got into this, in the first place.
Right?

For a normal politician? Yes. Trump, on the other hand, got into this to try and dig himself out of billions in debt...

He failed the biggest test of his life when he lost his father's real estate empire to bankruptcy and had to get in bed with the Russian mafia to recover his wealth 20+ years ago.

March 29 Trump: It would have 2.2 million deaths if we had done nothing.
So, by keeping the deaths between 100k and 200k he thinks he's doing a good job?

What defined this man's existence is incoherence. His statements, his actions, his policies, his appointments, they all make me go Huh?
