Dear Leader is advising everyone wear a mask, except him of course, because he has to meet kings and queens and presidents and foreign dignitaries and covfefe

Why the fuck is he meeting anybody right now?

If no politician gets the plague and dies, I for one will begin to wonder if there wasn’t a cure all along, or at least an immunization that they had access to but the public didn’t.

There must not be though, because if there was, he would’ve blabbed about it by now.
 
And stop giving Hoggzzzzz so much grief about the Jared Kushner tweets and junk. He has every right to drag that fucker over the coals.

Suggested viewing: Dirty Money on Netflix. He’s a fucking scumbag.
 
I know we’ve touched in this but these actions make my head hurt. How can anyone think this is ok?

At Thursday's briefing on how the government is responding, Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner scolded states for not building up their own stockpiles, saying that the "the notion of the federal stockpile was it’s supposed to be our stockpile, it’s not supposed to be states’ stockpiles that they then use."

Earlier Thursday, President Donald Trump had tweeted, "Some have insatiable appetites & are never satisfied (politics?) Remember, we are a backup for them. The complainers should… have been stocked up and ready long before this crisis hit."

But the national stockpile actually is intended for states' use, which was clearly explained on the government's own website -- until the language was changed, without explanation, hours after Kushner provided his inaccurate description.

Until Friday morning, the website of the Department of Health and Human Services, which maintains the stockpile, read, "When state, local, tribal, and territorial responders request federal assistance to support their response efforts, the stockpile ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during an emergency."

But midday Friday, hours after Kushner directly contradicted the language on the HHS website, the text was changed without explanation. Retroactively matching what Kushner said, the website no longer says states can rely on the stockpile, but now says it exists to “supplement” them.

“The Strategic National Stockpile's role is to supplement state and local supplies during public health emergencies," the website read on Friday afternoon. "Many states have products stockpiled, as well. The supplies, medicines, and devices for life-saving care contained in the stockpile can be used as a short-term stopgap buffer when the immediate supply of adequate amounts of these materials may not be immediately available.”

Nobody should think it’s okay. Period.

But in this hyper-partisan atmosphere and an administration that is built on an “us vs them” attitude, they want to make sure that the life saving assistance they are there to provide only goes to “Trump states”. Sadly, the majority of the people actually agree with his policies and are okay with looking past his behavior, as long as they get theirs.

They don't know how to solve problems or fix things. All they know to do is find someone to blame and punish.

The US federal government has no fear of the people, and they are flaunting their lack of fear right in your collective face, because they know no one will do anything about it. You all should be burning shit to the ground to remind those fuckers who's boss.
