This morning:

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
We have a Governor who was too afraid to do anything but follow the Trump playbook on Covid, including getting the virus. It has caused death and economic destruction in my state. We are at a new hospitalization record today in Missouri. Shameful. Vote.

Risky and Reckless.

That’s Trumpism for you.

Bob Woodward, Claire McCaskill, Donald Trump, Twitter

Bob Woodward [2013 file photo].

Bob Woodward wrote a book. Apparently based on a lot of interviews with Donald Trump (r). There are audio recordings.

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
It is hard for me to justify having the tape of Trump admitting the deadly danger of this virus while he was telling Americans it would just disappear…and sitting on it until a book release. That’s some bad stuff. Ugly.
12:09 PM · Sep 9, 2020

Some of the responses:

How many people would have acted more cautiously had Trump been honest? How many lives saved? My heart goes out to all the families who lost friends and family members. We’ll never know if they could have been saved.

Everyday something else that no one can keep up. 190,000+ dead, children still separated from parents and in cages, millions without jobs, soldiers having bounties on heads. I can’t take it. Now this and it’ll be news for a couple of days.

Many people warned trump about the virus. He was briefed in Nov 2019 about it. He ignored, he demoted people, he called them fanatics. Now is the time for the tape to come out. We knew trump failed. Now we have proof. I knew trump knew and that he did nothing.

Claire McCaskill: ‘…I would, you know, think about this for a minute. Let’s dwell on this just for a second. He’s [Donald Trump] obviously never read a [Bob] Woodward book. He doesn’t understand what Woodward books are. [Nicolle Wallace: laughter] And so this is, that’s, that’s strike one. Strike two is he sits for eighteen interviews. Okay, who in their right mind, who’s running for office in a year, within the year, sits for eighteen interviews with a journalist? This is not a smart thing to do [Voice: “With anyone.”] This is beyond folly. This is ultimate stupidity. He is so stupid. And he knows, he does, he did the last interview like a month ago. He did the last interview a month ago. So when is the book coming out? The book is coming out within two months of his election. With tapes. Eighteen hours of tapes. Hours and hours of tapes. So, this president is the stupidest president that has ever held the office. Forget about for a minute, for all of his followers, forget about the integrity issue, forget about the character issue. This guy’s too dumb to lead this country ’cause this was really, really stupid…’

Some of the responses:

She’s from Missouri!

Yes, she certainly is.

Auntie Claire don’t play da radio

It is what it is.

We see what you did there.

This just out. Trump has agreed to allow access to Melania Trump for a third book in this trilogy with Bob Woodward,tentatively titled “I’m With Stupid”.
#DumpTrump and save our country from this imbecile.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

The bad news is that approximately 40% of the people who are gonna vote are racist sociopaths.

Today:

For Missourians…let it sink in that conservative members on the U S Supreme Court today did what Republicans in Jefferson City refused to do. They have continually embraced that it was ok in our state to fire someone just because they were gay. No more. Thank goodness.

Hey Josh, how’s that “constitutional lawyer” shit working out for you? Just asking.

This morning, after their polling and reporting yesterday evening erased Elizabeth Warren (D):

Claire McCaskill @clairecmc
This is going to be interesting. Bloomberg on the debate stage tonight. Tune in and join us for pre debate and post debate analysis. @msnbc @BWilliams @NicolleDWallace
6:46 AM · Feb 19, 2020

I just had to respond:

Michael Bersin
So, is the pre debate analysis going to erase @ewarren? Is the debate coverage going to pixelate her face and mute any of her responses? Just curious.

“…Deep down, I guarantee the majority of that Senate believes he [Donald Trump] should be removed…” – former Senator Claire McCaskill (D), Rachel Maddow panel, January 24, 2020

The Constitution is on trial, the Senate is on trial, America is on trial. We are about to find out what we have become.

But do they have the moral courage? No.
