“But this crisis – the most globally disruptive pandemic in over 600 years – is on its way to causing the largest economic disaster of the modern era. So, let’s be realistic. Spend the available $25 billion on tests that already exist. Use the government’s spending power to negotiate lower prices, while allowing a reasonable rate of return on capital for labs that are working hard to expand. Build the infrastructure necessary to support pooled testing. Buy enough tests to protect everyone who needs to go to work in person. Implement a comprehensive public health program based on this testing.
None of this is difficult, as other countries have shown. And there is no need for new legislation or a new appropriation of funds. The US has everything any country needs to contain the pandemic – except the leadership to get it done."
Trump was briefed on the potential threat to our national security in DECEMBER, and spent literally months doing nothing. Well, he sat on his fat lazy cowardly treasonous ass watching the Fox Propaganda Channel, and he cheated at golf, and he held rallies to spread the pandemic, and he said it would “magically disappear” and he called it a “hoax” and he advised people to inject and ingest disinfectants and bleach meant to be used only on non-organic surfaces. (I’m surprised that he didn’t claim that Trump steaks—if there are any left—and Trump vodka—ditto—were other cures for COVID. I’m surprised that he didn’t claim that health classes at Trump “University” also cured it.) Oh, and he pardoned some of his fellow criminals. Other than that, he did nothing, which is why far more than 100,000 deaths are on HIS shoulders, with their blood on HIS tiny hands.
Don’t forget the ‘MISSION ACCOMPLISHED’ banner this time for the tailgate. Trump is still upset that we can’t fly his Confederate Flag. He’ll be sending us another nasty Tweet instead of our paychecks.

Where are the “It is what it is” or the “I take no responsibility” flags?

Obama’s SAR’s program was really, really lame – just look at our winning China Virus ratings – winning bigly.
