Thinking about that quote below led me to ponder Speaker Pelosi refusing Trump’s offer of National Guard troops to provide Jan. 6 Capitol security, supposedly because of “bad optics.” Then when the riot occurred she called it an “insurrection,” something it clearly was not.
Free associating, those thoughts brought me to ponder Trump failing to take pre-election precautions to forestall the allegedly Covid-driven election irregularities. When these occurred, he claimed a “stolen election,” when it probably was not so much stolen as rigged.
I see both of these worthies screwing up, and then blaming others for problems occurring because of their own lack of foresight. That is common among our leadership class, common and unfortunate.
