Having been in the business of distributing and protecting highly classified information, I would argue that no former president should receive intelligence briefings unless his input is being sought. Need to know should be the determining factor.

Not to be argumentative Steve but three weeks into office may be a tad early to assess Biden's actions. Much of politics is theater and the art of acting like you are doing something. A year or two from now calling foul may be appropriate, but goodness me, perhaps a little premature.

As far as blaming trump, i thought he was less caustic than i had expected. Sure he rolled back some of his actions and he did take several mild shots at the handling of the vaccine rollout, but it could have been worse.

I read an interesting article this morning about it and they suggested Alex Azar had adopted the perfect strategy (for him). By shipping the vaccines to the states, they got the credit and then by not formulating a distribution plan, the states were blamed for the failures. Where i have we heard that scenario before? Pure trump all the way.

The federal government is there for a reason. Coordinating both ends should be a given. If not, what's the point of being there in the first place? There's no question the pandemic was overwhelming, and while some complain that Biden hasn't solved it yet, at least there are steps being taken to get our arms and head around just how bad it is.

The bigger problem are all of the dummies trying to undo the safety measures and mitigation efforts. The anti-vaxers are shameless and the fools congregating without masks are even dumber. There-in is the biggest trump legacy, the idea it is all a hoax and will just magically disappear. Better off they shove a light bulb up their backside in hopes of curing it.

I have no problem holding Joe accountable, but let's see where this goes.
