    been studies shown that if the “lockdowns” had started even one week earlier in march, thousands more would have lived

    but yeah showing the president was legit lying wouldn’t have changed anyone’s mind is crazy talk

    bob has blood on his hands and you’re a massive pos if you buy this book and reward him for this shit

    Blame him if you want as long as you admit nothing would be different if he’d have come out with this information in April or May.

    do or don’t that’s up to you. We’ve seen the reaction since this has come out. He had an indoor rally yesterday with no masks. He is having.one today. The GOP has defend his actions and words this is after 200k have died and 6 million cases. If it would have happened earlier it would have been dismissed like everything else his fat ass does. Certain states would have taken the virus seriously others ones wouldn’t. Nothing has changed since we heard his words so I don’t think anything would have changed if we’d have heard them earlier.

    other than literally nothing changing since we’ve heard his words. Other than the GOP continuing to defend him. Other than people still protesting makes and calling the virus a hoax. Other then the evidence presented to me. Yeah I guess you’re right I have no way of knowing that nothing would have changed.

    This is such a lazy fatalist attitude. State and local governments have been bearing the burden of the virus for the most part anyway. Maybe hearing the president acknowledge the danger of the virus in March or whatever would have sped up mask requirements and maybe a few thousand people would have lived. We know what the outcome has been otherwise.

    Yeah I'm going to need something more than this to assume you're right.

    You should do the right thing and release the information. I'm generally not in favor of random people sitting on information that they alone have decided is or isn't useful.

    And I really don't get the need to defend this one guy and his ability to make millions on withholding what should be public information

    I honestly don't think it's about the money because I doubt he needs it at this point. I think it's about the opportunity to take down another president and what it would do for his legacy

    At the very freaking least, it would have forced him to get called out repeatedly especially because by mid-April he was pushing hard for states to reopen. I'm sure the GOP governors would have sucked his little prick regardless, but until these tapes and book came out he's basically never acknowledged how deadly the virus is.

    I am going to start writing “IMO” before every one of my posts so you guys understand it’s just my opinion. IMO I don’t think much would have changed. IMO I believe that because of what we’ve seen since the tape was released. You guys are free to believe otherwise.

    It would have taken a lot of wind ouf of the truther sails that the president didn't even believe it was harmless. Instead he was allowed to keep up the charade for months

    He 100% should have released it earlier and started the dialog and maybe indirectly saved some lives and that definitely matters.

    I do agree it wouldn't have effected his support or forced Trump to act responsibly. Also McConnell was never going to have a backbone and chuds were never going to not jerk off to being selfish idiotic trolls.

    I’m also not arguing that he shouldn’t have released the information. I am just saying that imo it wouldn’t have changed anything or at least not a great deal. We knew it was airborne. We need it was deadly. We’ve known how to slow the spread. People just didn’t care. Those who did would have those who didn’t imo would have still felt that way.

    my thoughts are that I don’t think Trump would have changed his message. I might be wrong but I don’t think he would have said anything to make them change their behavior. I think trump is a complete pos and I can’t imagine giving him the benefit of the doubt even if he would have been forced to do so.

    isn't "it wouldn't have changed anything" essentially arguing that, though? why else say something like that and keep saying it for a week? do you you guys really feel so strongly about bob woodward being attacked?

    and then you have dumbfuck snark like this every time the topic shows up

    speaking only for myself. I don’t care one bit about Woodward being attack. I juts don’t think Trump’s behavior would have changed. I don’t think kemp, desanttis would have changed how they ran their states. I don’t think they didn’t know how dangerous this virus is.

    That’s all I am saying. That’s why I don’t think things would be noticeably different right now if this would have come out earlier. I think Trump is a POS. I think the GOP is complicit and enables everything he does. I think his followers are stupid as fuck. I don’t think any of that would be different if we’d heard the tapes earlier. If you think me believing that means I am saying I don’t think he should have released the tapes so be it but again that’s not what I am arguing.

    I think Woodward should have released the tapes immediately.

    I also don't think it would have changed much. Trump and his sheep would have dismissed them then just like they are now.

    I don't feel like either of those are crazy takes.

    states were shutting down in March. We knew this was bad. We had Italy and France as examples of how deadly this virus is. Saying we didn’t know isnt exactly true.
