Oh wait…
“And the grift goes on.”
— Sonny Bono, sorta
$3.95 seems awfully high for product that could have been produced by a Texas company if only the US gov’t had agreed to it in Jan.
And was it the VA or FEMA for the VA and the shady firm that has property in VA, declared bankruptcy in VA, and rechartered in DE? Again a company that has never produced medical supplies in it’s “interesting” history.
“IHS told ProPublica last week that 247,000 of the masks delivered by Fuentes’ company may be unsuitable for medical use, and that an additional 130,400 were not the type specified in the procurement data.”
That’s because his 11 day-old company was still busy impregnating the contracted masks with COVID - 19 at a warehouse somewhere in the midwest.
You know what else is exhausting? Inept crooks. For Pete’s sake we’re the Greatest Nation on the Face of the Earth and I demand that Trump use better A 1 crooks to boondoggle, hornswoggle, and rip off the American taxpayer.
“Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’; keep those grifters rollin’”
– Theme from Rawhide (sorta)
But in all honesty, you just can’t find ept crooks these days.
I tell ya, there jus’ ain’t ‘nuf piana strin’ for the lot o’ 'em!
That’s because Trump has scooped all of them up for his own jobs.
ETA: When all this is past us because Trump is gone, or dead and gone, the book will come out about how inept this shit show really was. And I swear that I will punch out the first person who says “I can’t believe we didn’t know how inept Trump was.”
He’s gonna need a bigger manure fork…
You really can’t blame them, they were obviously inert.
ohhhhh
no one wouldn’t think that the trump clan would make some millionaires just for some pac money in return to pay off on the fence governors and such. Or direct cash deposits into some already stuffed full pockets.
Would they ???
