Bloom Energy is also using its manufacturing facility in Delaware to refurbish ventilators on the East Coast.

...I'd forgotten that Dershowitz jaw-dropper.

But that's right. A famous lawyer actually argued in Congress that that should be the standard.

Lordy I so want as soon as we get through this for Trump to get life in prison like he deserves.

You mean that's just window dressing, and Pence is taking orders from the murderer in chief?

most of the federal money goes to the red states is for welfare and the blue states are the ones providing the bulk of the money.

180,000....

Maine’s population is only 1.3 million, Florida’s is 20+ million


The odd thing is Maine’s request for a half million N95s???

By September Florida is going to be blue.

It’s not escaping the notice of even my republican coworkers that Democratic led counties are shutting things down. No republican led counties that I know have gone beyond DeShitis half assed orders.

Because the shit is about to get real here.

Whose signature is on the packing list, etc.

Work the way up to find which underling under tRump is willing to fall on his sword. If any.

tRump demands loyalty but gives none.

All it asks for. 20% of Florida is over 65 (Italy has the oldest population in Europe). That's over 4,000,000 seniors. And The large numbers of tourists and transients increases the risk.

Submit to him, and threatens and accuses others who don't as reasons for refusal to help them now. Politicizing the greatest national health and financial crisis in our lifetime for personal and financial gains by a sitting president is unacceptable , and should be criminal . Calls for his resignation from this are in order now. If they refuse, trump and every republican needs to be removed this Nov from OUR government who are responsible for trumps destruction of our country , and OUR Democracy.
