Everything that happens in the executive branch is the responsibility of the chief executive, no?  That's what the Brain Trust of this board would have you believe.

I mean...from your article...it appears the guy you want to blame, actually "fixed" the problem once he heard about it.  Not created the problem as you are stating:

But after the guidance was brought to the attention of Evers' office, the board updated its recommendations.

I don't live in Wisconsin, and have no idea if Evers is "good" or "bad".  But in this case head heard about a bad decision and forced a good change - no?

[mu_hilltopper]

Exactly, rocky.

C'mon, Zig.  You posted something to cast shade on Evers.   Yeah, he's the head of the Exec, but he fixed it shortly after finding out.   

It's ok, we make mistakes.

I hear family members on group call boardline yelling about how horrible evers is for the "banning the window visits". The iggnorance gives me a headache

[rocket surgeon]

Exactly, rocky.

so, the reaction by the pro-evers crowd should be to have the same tolerance and due diligence for our potus then, eyn'a?

His administration made a mistake. It was changed after public backlash. A responsive government that isn't afraid to admit mistakes and take corrective action quickly.

So you want to compare this to the Trumps administration handling of the pandemic?  They have made multiple errors but have admitted to none of them and still are screwing up the response.

So why should I have the same tolerance when they don't react the same?

Looking forward to the answer that i undoubtedly will not receive. Per usual.

Sure.  Tell me anything he has ever fixed less than a day after it occurred?

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Well they did admit they didn't have 'total authority' today after many members of their own congress spoke out.

Yeah, when you've lost Liz Cheney, daughter of one of the strongest proponents of the Unitary Executive theory, you've really f'ed up.

You mistake "Pro-Evers" with "Pro-facts."

I take your point though.  Of the umbrage displayed about Trump's (mis)statements, a portion of it is undue. 

[JWags85]

I'm no fan of Evers and think he's way over his head, but going at him for this is the worst thing that NojoEvers can do cause it discredits further arguments against as overly biased and behind blinders

oops, just noted your post now-"multiple errors" admitting to "none"?  source?  go review how H1N1 was handled by you know who and get back to me. 

   1st case documented 4/18/2009

  6/11/2001-WHO issues pandemic alert

  10/24/2009-obama declares public health emergency-this after more than 1000 people had already DIED

i don't remember near the hysteria and/or hard 24/7 condemnations of obama during this time during our first "scandal free" administration of course.  let all the arse covering begin in 3...2...1...

regardless of whether not admittance was made of any "misunderstanding", corrections have been continually been made along the way.  if you are waiting to see anything good or at least "acceptable" on cnn, msnbc, abc, cbs, nbc, huffpost, bloomberg, et.al. it will never happen.  our country has been carpet bombed with all bad news for a number of reasons-tds and "the experts narrative"

12,469 people died in the US as a result of H1N1 in a full calendar year.
25,000 people died in the US as a result of COVID-19 in its first six weeks.

Maybe it's time to stop dropping that comparison.

Cool.

None of this answers the question I posed.  But I'm glad you're sticking to your talking points instead of thinking critically.  Life is so much easier that way!!!

I have become a fan of Evers. He's kinda the anti-politician. One of the few I've seen that isn't like a moth to flame when cameras are around. On the charisma scale, he's definitely in the negative numbers.

But I have been pleased with the job he ha done both before the pandemic and since. I could quibble with a couple things he's done, but overall, he's been solid. Of course it is a low bar, since we have to compare him to Walker.

I still can't believe I met Walker several times as a student.

[tower912]

I was two years behind Farley and two years ahead of when Walker was supposed to graduate.   I knew him peripherally and then interviewed him and his opponent for ASMU  president during  that election.  We ran both interviews on WMUR.  I was not favorably impressed but even then he had a group of followers that would do anything for him.   Witness the going through the dorms campaigning and the disposal of every copy of the Marquette Tribune they could find  when it endorsed his opponent.

They apparently learned nothing from the backlash in Wisconsin:

"Texas voters can't request a mail-in ballot for upcoming elections if they fear contracting Covid-19 and groups that encourage them to do so could face criminal consequences, the state attorney general's office said Wednesday.

Texas tightly regulates the use of mail-in ballots, only allowing people 65 or older, with disabilities, and those out of their county during an election to use them. Many states are loosening their requirements for requesting an absentee ballot, but the Wednesday letter from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, makes it clear the state will remain inflexible on its policy.

"Fear of contracting Covid-19 unaccompanied by a qualifying sickness or physical condition does not constitute a disability under the Election Code for purposes of receiving a ballot by mail," Ryan Vassar, an attorney in the attorney general's office, wrote to the legislature. "To the extent that third parties advise voters to apply for a mail-in ballot based solely on fear of contracting Covid-19, such activity could subject those third parties to criminal sanctions."

The letter came on the same day that a judge in Travis County, home of Austin, heard arguments in a lawsuit seeking to allow every Texan to vote by mail. The judge said he was "inclined" to grant the request."
