Ari Fleischer complains that the Biden administration hasn’t thanked the Trump administration for what has been done on vaccines
Fleischer: “the President as he talks about unity has not been able to bring himself to say those words, to thank Donald Trump.”

I expect Ari Fleischer doesn’t feel like he’s received enough thanks either. How can we survive when humanity keeps producing creatures like this?

More:

Upon taking office, sources in the administration told CNN that they were shocked by the state of the federal work on the pandemic—or the lack thereof. “There is nothing for us to rework,” one source told the outlet. “We are going to have to build everything from scratch.”

Another source echoed that the Trump administration had no plan and that Biden’s administration would have to start from “square one.” Upon realizing the situation, the administration member reportedly responded: “Wow, just further affirmation of complete incompetence.”

So the Trump team really must have thought that they were going to overturn the election results and that it somewhat depended on him being somewhat favored at least by his constituency. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been any reason to lie about it, would there?

Well I think it’s a good reminder that there was no transition, and perhaps also that there was no transition to have, so perhaps delaying the exposure of what was going on was as much a factor as pretending that they were going to overturn the election.

There needs to be a concerted effort to ensure that everyone involved in the Trump administration be marked with it for life.

If I were on the IRB, I would insist that this experiment could only go forward if all the unvaccinated participants were the sort of people who would want to attend the Superb Owl during a raging pandemic.
