Trump Admin Aimed To Create Taxpayer-Funded COVID PSA Based On Pro-Trump Politics

Well, he is “draining the swamp,” and by “swamp,” I mean the U.S. Treasury. He’s draining it into his own pockets.

I’m already there and I have yet to watch the documentary.

I’d like to see the Hatch Act not only enforced, but enhanced. The current level of penalty just isn’t enough to deter these monsters from their appointed rounds. The act has no teeth in it because it was NEVER imagined to be needed for such heinous crimes.

We rightly focus on the deaths, permanent physical harm and intense suffering of so many due to the pandemic that Trump has made vastly worse by handling it so horribly, but there’s also been massive economic damage well beyond what would have been unavoidable as a direct result of this. If I were a proprietor who had to go out of business, I’d put this on my front door:

Closed Due to the Trump Pandemic and Recession
Don’t Forget to Vote!

‘Multiple People Have Passed Out’ At Trump Rally

I don’t expect the response from the campaign to be any different than the Omaha response.

I have no pity for these people. They knew the conditions they were going into. They know the precautions that should be taken - they live there, for G-d’s sake; how could they not? - and if they didn’t take them and this happened to them, then too bad for them.

This is supposed to be the party of personal responsibility. Get on with it, then.

Another Trump admin scam? Using taxpayer money to provide support to Trump’s presidential campaign? Trying to put a thin layer of whitewash over the effort that no competent person could fail to see.

What is it about this that would surprise anyone? SOP in Trumpworld.

I understand that Darth Vader supports him. That’s what people are saying. I don’t know if it’s really true or not. Just saying . . .

Nah - Darth knows a loser when he sees one.

Darth isn’t voting this time.

He’s also reality based by Trump world standards and sufficiently literate to read the writing on the wall. Inching away from the upcoming reckoning as fast as he can without putting himself in Trump’s crosshairs.

Please… call it what it was… an attempt by a cashless Trump campaign to get some free promotion.

They are literally the dumbest people on the face of the earth, so it’s just a culling of the herd.

Why I call him Don Vader. All in the family…

Putin is Palpatine, obviously. Only it’s not all going as he had foreseen!

“defeat despair, inspire hope” on the pandemic, based on President Donald Trump’s politics

How about a little effort to reduce the spread of the fucking virus?

That rising rate of positive test results (red line) debunks the “it’s just more testing” bullshit.

What more testing does do is get us closer to the real number of new cases per day, which could be described as “numbers like we’ve never seen before”:

Well in truth the PSA was crayon stick figures someone drew for maybe $5.00. The balance was to be transferred into a special COVID account controlled by JerJer for personnel expenses.

The way
Republicans are obsessing over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wearing $14,000
worth of clothing in Vanity Fair you’d think she’d spent
$140 million of taxpayer money to play golf at resorts she
owned.

Exactly. How many hours and tax dollars were spent on googling celebrities until they came to the realization that all that was left on their list was a handful of C-listers?
