Incompetence or genocide?

[Cyrano]

To my way of thinking, there is a point at which incompetence morphs into genocide.

Take incompetence, add malice, cruelty, revenge, meanness of spirit and pure evil intent, and what do you end up with?

When this current horror ends, countless thousands are dead, and Trump is out of the White House, should he be tried for crimes against humanity.

I sure as hell believe he should. What do you think?

1. Both 100 percent.

[gibraltar72]

2. Yes.

[orwell]

3. It's neither...

...dRumpf does everything according to what is in his short term interest. At first he tried to avoid upsetting the markets so he slow walked the bad news and hoped it would blow over.

Then when things got out of control he went into "war president" mode so he could commandeer the daily message because his hate rallies were cancelled. This still allowed him to feed red meat to his supporters by beating up poor reporters. He could also "dismiss the experts" such as Fauci.

Now he is setting a high bar for failure when he knows that they are slowing getting out in front of this. So his latest ploy is to say if we "only" have 100,000 deaths it would be an amazing success!

He willingly signed the biggest 1%'er bailout in history to prop up the collapsing stock markets all over the world. He needs the markets to go up to continue the bullshit narrative that only he can juice up the economy.

HE ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF! If that isn't clear to everyone now it never will be. That is what drives his behavior.

What is different about this asshole is a complete disregard for anything other than himself. He is a true sociopath.

4. Crime against Humanity

Send him and all GOP to The Hague. Truly independent court.

[Cyrano]

5. We don't have an agreement with the Hague

But that doesn't mean he can't be tried here. Not to mention all in government that aided and abetted him. Every single one of them must be held accountable. Or this will happen again. And again.

6. I honestly don't think it's too late to try to impeach him again

if Pelosi were so inclined. It would probably end the same and Democrats would be accused of politicking during a crisis- even though it shouldn't be looked at as anything other than simply trying to ensure our survival at this point IMHO.

7. He was already on my docket for crimes against humanity.

His treatment of refugees should be punishable by identical treatment for him.

Just add pandemic exploitation to the list of charges.

[Cyrano]

10. Yes. If children in cages aren't crimes against humanity, what is?

[uponit7771]

15. +1, what he's done at the border is text book UN Article II Part E genocide ... TEXT BOOK

[Iggo]

8. Not mutually exclusive, those.

[Cyrano]

11. No. Not until you realize that countless thousands are dead.

[Iggo]

13. What I'm saying is, just because he did it on purpose, doesn't make him competent.

His incompetence expresses itself in his belief that knowingly and willfully causing thousands of deaths is a really good idea.

See? Incompetent and guilty as fuck, both at the same time.

9. Depraved Indifference

it is punishable

[Cyrano]

12. Yep. Ronald Reagan had depraved indifference to HIV in the 1980s

But tens of thousands are dead because of that depraved indifference.

Is being an imbecile an excuse for those deaths?

Actually, when you stop to think about it, perhaps American voters are the most responsible of all.

[uponit7771]

14. Genocide, incompetence would mean some steps in our favor but he's done NOTHING in our favor NOTHING
