Thinking today about the GOP's response to the 3 great crisis of the 21st century.
9/11--let's go fight a war, invade citizens' privacy, do some torture, and create a new federal agency
2008-9 financial crisis: meh. Let's cut taxes and regulations.
Covid: It's a hoax

I just got to the part in Obama's memoir where he describes the utter refusal of the GOP to do anything in response to the 2008-9 financial crisis. McCain had nothing. McConnell's like, "it's your problem. Hope you fail." Boehner's like, "Nothing I can do w/ my caucus."
The incredible alacrity with which the GOP was willing to invest the government with new powers and spend federal money in response to a terror attack in which 3000 people died, compared to >250K Covid deaths now is pretty arresting.
And think about all of the energy Rudy put into the 9/11 recovery effort and how he invested his entire being in that catastrophe...and how now, in the midst of another national catastrophe, he's beclowning himself with the dog and pony show of pro-Trump conspiracy theories.
