The Trump administration is sending out trial balloons (most recently in the form of human Hindenburg Larry Kudlow) to see if they can get the public on board with returning to business as usual (which will lead to, I don’t know, hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths?).
Meanwhile, the federal government’s response when it comes to providing critical medical equipment has been, to be charitable, lax.
Trump still refuses to fully implement the Defense Production Act to ramp up production of masks, ventilators, and other medical gear, and governors and other state and local officials are freaking out over the (non-QAnon) storm that’s coming.
To wit:
NEW YORK GOV. ANDREW CUOMO: FEMA says we’re sending 400 ventilators. Really? What am I going to do with 400 ventilators when I need 30,000. You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die because you only sent 400 ventilators.
I have a feeling that’s a task John Bolton would love. But Trump forced him out. Stephen Miller? He seems up to it.
Yes, Cuomo is pissed.
Yes, he should be.
We are on our own, and it’s frightening.
Is Trump still chafing your arse-cheeks? Then Dear F*cking Lunatic: 101 Obscenely Rude Letters to Donald Trump and its boffo sequels Dear Pr*sident A**clown: 101 More Rude Letters to Donald Trump and Dear F*cking Moron: 101 More Letters to Donald Trump by Aldous J. Pennyfarthing are the pick-me-up you need! Reviewers have called these books “hysterically funny,” “cathartic,” and “laugh-out-loud” comic relief. And they’re way, way cheaper than therapy.
