So tucked into some of this relief legislation is the order to rename the United States of America to Trump’s States in America?

The ink is barely dry in the Covid Relief Fund Bill and here we are…

Not wonder Covidiot Trump used those BIGLY WORDS = “Hortatory but NOT mandatory”…

Jared going to make peace with Covid now?

Dear TV/Cable Networks…
STOP airing or broadcasting NON-ESSENTIAL and USELESS people wanting to horn in on the Covid Briefing!

Addendum:

Does the military ferry private sector products for private corporations now? This really sounds fishy…

Trump: “It’s a two-way street,” he said last week, referring to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and others who had criticized the federal government’s pandemic response. “They have to treat us well, also.”

NO, Mr “president”, it is your job to “protect and defend” the people of this country. It is your responsibility to act in the face of an emergent threat to the nation and to actively defend against that threat. Do your fucking job asshole.

It’s one thing for a shithead like Shithead to order people to favor his allies, cultists, and ball lickers over, you know, other fucking Americans. It’s another thing for the people he barked his insanity at to comply.

I was just following orders” is not gonna cut it when this whole shitshow comes under a microscope. People are dying because of this criminal incompetence - we lost 2,000 in just the past two days - and I will not be ready to “move on” once we elect a sane, intelligent person in November.

In case it’s not clear, I am so fucking angry at what’s happening or, more to the point, what’s not happening, and I only have so many closets to clean. :rage: :rage: :rage:

Local not-for-profits have stopped taking donations temporarily because they are getting overload from people cleaning their closets out. Our waste hauler is also placing limits on how much they’ll pickup.

Might as well be productive, right?

At the very least, we need another one of these to look into all of the supply and contracting shenanigans:

I am an avowed pacifist, but I swear that just the sight of Jared’s smarmy ceramic doll mug face makes me want to smack him between the eyes.

… actually, more appropriately, the Deva States of America

He’s doing to our country with aid what he did to Ukraine with aid. He’s doing it right out in the open. And it’s all fine.

I don’t doubt that tRump is gleeful watching NY - and any other blue state - scramble for what it needs - this level of incompetence from the federal govt is deliberate.

Exactly… I would like you to do me a favor though.
