Then quit now. Keep yourselves and your families safe. Don't think that being loyal to the Dumpster is going to look good on your resume.

They're not the one whining to the press.

We leave Barron out of it because we are better people than they are. He's a kid. Leave him alone. He has enough problems.

I didn't believe that I had. I am terrified of contracting COVID.

Okay.

I was not belittling, criticizing, making fun of, or disparaging Barron. It was not a personal attack on him. Just suggesting his entire family go first.

I understand particularly by the example of the republicans attacking Chelsea Clinton.

I didn't think that listing him as a member of the family would be considered an attack on him.

Soooo, I'm going to chalk this up to a quandary because I did not believe that I was attacking his looks, behavior, character, intelligence, or in any personal way. Just listing him as a member of the Trump family.

As always, I welcome feedback from members of this Wonkette community as this is the best community around, so if you have any other thoughts comments on this I welcome your response. I always appreciate other points of view.

You were listing family members Trump should line up to dose with the untested vaccine, and you included the minor son. I said five mild words. If you don’t think you were wrong at all, that’s your prerogative.

I was not saying I was wrong or right. I do see that listing Barron was wrong and will delete his name from that list.This person who does not always wordify goodly was looking for other peoples thoughts.

But I stand with listing Ivanka, Jarrod, Don Jr etc as they are adults and are every bit enablers and participants in this maladministration. They are just as culpable as DJT himself, IMHO.

If you have other thoughts on listing those family members who I think are as culpable as Trump himself please do let me know.

I was looking for constructive feedback and thank you for it. I really do appreciate feedback from the Wonkette community.

Of course the drug companies claim they won't succumb to political pressure, they're already caved in so far to chasing the almighty dollar that they've become a black hole in which safety and affordabilty regulations cannot escape.

The contractor didn't take a shortcut. They made mistakes in the purification of the vaccine. More of a case of "didn't completely read the instructions."

First, the companies won't rush to produce a vaccine that 75% of the country won't take.

Second, the lawsuits that would be brought against the government and the companies for a failed vaccine would be swift and "tremendous," even if guidelines are changed, because it's so obviously being done for Trump's personal/political reasons.

Third, Smart Americans will wait to get the same vaccine Dr. Fauci gets, after he gets it.
