As long as we're listing journalists who are piling on Trump

I think the point of Douthat's column is the opposite: that Trump is being blamed for too much with respect to the pandemic in the U.S., and there are more important underlying factors at work that will persist after Trump's gone. But I could be wrong

Which — OldAlum — is why you included Kristof as well. Well done. And also why Mick's addition of Paul Krugman is also appropriate.

I’m curious why it was “appropriate” to add Krugman.  I mean, it’s not “inappropriate “. But you had one conservative in Douhat and a liberal in Kristof.  Perhaps it would be “appropriate” to add a right wing ideologue to balance Krugman.....

Having whined about that, I admit I didn’t read any of the articles. I’m tired of the whole “debate”. And I’m more than tired of the 24/7 Trumpathon. It’s exhausting. Not blaming anyone here for that. Debate away. It’s me not you. At this point I get up everyday and just hope we are one day closer to this shitshow ending.
