The policy is America First unless it involves Russia, in which case it’s Russia First, always. Thanks, GOP senators. Thanks a whole vodka-breathed bunch.

It’s not “our” stockpile, it’s “his” stockpile. I guess he was able to replenish supplies by sending broken ones to states and confiscating ones that work.
Ask Senator “This isn’t a question of not valuing life” Kennedy if he values Russian lives over American lives.

So, he’ll gladly send life-saving equipment to help Russians, but will not extend the same courtesy to Blue State Governors.

America First? Really?

I can’t wait until Fox State News Service explains this reversal of fortune to the trumpets.

This is DEPLORABLE!!!

Just so we’re clear, the priorities are:

  1. Shithead’s “friends”
  2. Red states
  3. Mother Russia
  4. Whoever pleases the king today
  5. Blue states

Fuck you, you pigfucker. I hope we all live long enough to kick his smug face to the curb, scoop him up, and throw his fat ass in jail.

Well we now know who were the owners of “our” stock that Kushner didn’t want to share with the blue states.

When you put it that way, umm, sure, yeah, that sounds great.

But NYC is pulling out of the tailspin because they sacrificed and planned and were proactive, they stepped into the vacuum of chaos and took steps to help themselves, and that’s pretty close to cheating really. Here’s Russia, they strutted and said no problemo it’s all good, basically did nothing constructive, and now they have a dire problem. Really creates a sense of fellow-feeling.
