How About Hard No?

The Atlantic: LET’S DECLARE A PANDEMIC AMNESTY

An Atlantic author, who has quite the Twitter history (with the tweet below but one example of many) of being a Covidiot:

 

Is now proposing we should let bygones be bygones and forgive how the Dems et al acted and overreacted during the pandemic.

My first inclination to her request for an "amnesty" would be a hard no. 

Most especially as they have yet to abjectly state they were wrong.  Most Covidiots, including our governor are still busy claiming they handled the pandemic just fine and refuse to admit any mistakes.

But, well, I’m sure we could have an amnesty - right after their apologies.

Oh, and in addition to apologies, an amnesty can come only after a Truth and Reconciliation Commission too, as after all, the Left loves those.

So let’s have them all come testify before a Commission as to the absolute mess they made and lives they destroyed while they ignored actual existing plans for handling a pandemic, and then panicked and carried on like tin pot power-drunk dictators with insane lock downs that never made any rational sense. 

Perhaps the testimony can include their shutting down schools with subsequent loss of learning continuing to this day; their placing Covid-positive patients in nursing homes to let the disease rip through them killing grandma and then deliberately undercounting the deaths that resulted.  Let's not also forget the arbitrary and capricious rules of the lockdowns including being able to buy food at a store but not paint in the next aisle.  No golfing or power boating but a canoe, or kayak was just fine (but not in California where you could be arrested for paddle boarding by yourself, alone on a flippin' ocean.

On second, thought let's roll with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but screw the amnesty - these people need to live with and pay for the poor decisions they made that cost lives and inflicted misery upon their fellow Americans while they enjoyed the perquisites of their misguided power.
