Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump and Kushner must be prosecuted for crimes against humanity [View all]
There is no word to describe Trump and Jareds murderous criminality. Their willfull actions have resulted in the deaths of more than 150,000 US citizens they swore to protect.
Trump and Kushner must be prosecuted for crimes against humanity
Written by David Atkins / Washington Monthly August 1, 2020 Commentary
EXCERPT...
But the latest report from Vanity Fair implicates both Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner of an unspeakable horror orders of magnitude greater. Instead of implementing a comprehensive and aggressive national testing plan the pandemic team originally recommended, Kushner scuttled it. The president and his son-in-law were instead content to allow tens of thousands of Americans die as long as they were mostly people of color, and hailing from Democratic states and counties. Not only that, they saw it as a political opportunity to both cull the numbers of opposing voters and lay blame on Democratic governors at the same time:
Against that background, the prospect of launching a large-scale national plan was losing favor, said one public health expert in frequent contact with the White Houses official coronavirus task force.
Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushners team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy, said the expert.
That logic may have swayed Kushner. It was very clear that Jared was ultimately the decision maker as to what [plan] was going to come out, the expert said.
SNIP...
We even lack the vocabulary to even describe it. Gross negligence doesnt reach the level of the crime. Murder is lurid, but frankly not a comprehensive enough word to describe the death of 140,000. Treason comes to mind when considering that the President of the United States knowingly allowed 140,000 Americans to die because they were mostly his political opponentsbut despite his Russia entanglements, there is no direct evidence he did so on behalf of a foreign power.

The US needs to reckon with these two mass murdering traitors, immediately. Otherwise, until Jan. 20, 2021 they will have enormous power at their disposal to avoid that reckoning.

As usual, their incompetence resulted in more red state deaths than blue state ones.
