Installing unqualified ideologues in positions of power and authority, discarding an evidence-based approach in favor of a mandate based on religious imperatives, just business as normal for the Trump administration.
The Trumpist political appointees at the US Department of Health and Human Services went at it with gusto, and the damage they did will not be repaired with the snap of a finger. This is just one aspect of how Trump and his stooges set the US government up to fail when it came to responding to the pandemic. Longish read.
Two-and-a-half years before Covid-19 would bring the issue of political interference with the Health and Human Services Department to a head, the flap surrounding the disbanding of the Science and Medicine team showed the extent to which tensions within the department were undermining its mission and sowing distrust between longtime staff members and Trump appointees. The result was that when America’s health agencies confronted the ultimate challenge -- the worst global pandemic in a century -- they had already been battered by internal divisions, feuds and suspicions.
...and I still hear the plaintive cries of 42, insisting that there is no racism in Amerika...
My guess is that he'll deny racism was involved in this incident. You see, most of the passengers that deboarded would have been Caucasian, so the woman did not insult persons of colour. She called them nigger indiscriminately, and that word is just a metaphor meaning... Oh! Wait! Damn!

If you wanted to discuss racism, I suggest a place free of moderation, and having more than one opinion represented. Oh, but don't talk to anyone labeled 'racist', because then you get cooties too.

You would also have to find someone to respectfully disagree with. I doubt you can, since I have not seen you show respect for those who disagree.
Maybe you'll find Forty-Two over there...

Especially at Mindromp, eh? Maybe should take lessons from Mondovman, Jerome and several others who have replied to me expressing their disagreements with an overabundance of respect and courtesy.
Oh, the irony of being lectured about respectful disagreement by someone who has been repeatedly suspended for launching argumenta ad hominem.

Your facts are easy to value, when considering your post history. (I keep a reminder or two, because my memory is shit) This leaves only your tone, and personality for me to enjoy.

Hermit's posting history is overflowing with facts compared to your "just asking questions" trolling.
