Fake ‘toon. Saying “sorry” isn’t in his repertoire of possible actions.

That’s how Republican socialism works.

Some governors are complaining that they are not getting resources they need from Trump. Obviously, they are not following the correct protocol.

This is inexcusable. The correct protocol for dealing with Trump has been known for a long time:

Here’s how it’s supposed to work. They have a triage team that reviews the case by its medical data only, in order to cut out bias – So being a pastor or a schmuck doesn’t count. Then the triage team says who gets a ventilator and who gets a morphine drip.

On the BBC news hour tonight, I heard that in China only 10-15 percent of the patients sick enough to need a ventilator survived.

“The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, I to die, and you to live. Which of these two is better only God knows.”

― Socrates

Neoliberal policy for the last 40 years. More for the already wealthy, screw the soon dead little people.

Perfect storm, Pandemic and Mean, stupid, vindictive leader at the same time. No Ventilators for YOU!

Pentagon is still waiting from Homeland security to direct them where to send the ventilators…trump is killing people by the hundreds daily for his selfish agenda! He wants to be some kind of hero so he’ll get re-elected….where’s the crazies when you need them?…….

Prez Covidiot (and most politicians regardless of party) are too stupid to know that diverting all the care to Wall street kills Wall Street. Along with the U.S. economy and most likely the dollar.

Total fake news. Trump would never say “sorry”.

There just aren’t enough paper towels to wipe the egg from Mr. Trump’s face. Said Mr. Trump yesterday, “I knew everything. I knew it could be horrible, I knew it could be maybe good,” Trump said. “I don’t want to be a negative person.” So people are gong to die so as not to tarnish his Pollyanna dreams. But if you’re old and unimportant, take comfort in the fact you’re doing it for Wall Street. /s

trump revels in this new power.. finally, a way to demand sufficient grovelling and sucking up. He (the trump) has long envied the adoration Kim Jong-un gets.. now he (the trump) can expect the same…

Except the Malignant Moron would not say “sorry”

Trump and his appointees are so inept (or calculating) in doing their jobs. That is why I call this pandemic in America Covid-45. Trump can do rallies and play golf and do photo ops with faux religious hacks (Mike Lindell) who tout their commercial interests.Is this the American Way?

Another great one Mr Rogers. But too truthful to be funny for me.

Trump: I need your ventilator to send to a Red State that voted for me. Instead, I’ll give you my personal virus cure invented by my own doctor, DR Pepper.

So, it turns out Death Panels are real, after all…

“Laydeeeeeeeez and gentleman, it’s time for the main event! In THIS corner, an utterly loathsome, despicable enemy of the populace of the planet Earth. And in THIS corner, a virus!”

Excerpt from a column by conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg (the entire column is well worth reading, but if you want to “cheat” I’ve posted longer excerpts over at Tom Toles) : “For the past three years, as a conservative who just can’t board the Trump Train, I’ve been urged by people, including friends, to put my personal feelings aside and support the president. Such demands to become a cheerleader were easy to dismiss during a time of peace and prosperity as mere exhortations for partisan loyalty.But this is a different time, and it’s a real dilemma. Do you go along, even at the margins, with the fiction that Trump is up to this challenge? Or do you shine a light on his inadequacy?I think the answer depends largely on what lane you’re in. Governors and public-health officials, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, need the support of the president to do their jobs. If that means swallowing hard and praising the president when it’s not warranted, that’s a small price to pay, at least during a crisis.”

He would never say, “I’m sorry” to anyone unless he was sticking it to them.

The Trump Death Panel gave Florida twice what it asked for, and gave California 140 broken machines. TDP doesn’t want to give anything to blue states with female governors.

Main street hasn’t been sufficiently grateful to the Orange POTUS.

You’re making me sniffle, sir.
