Jared Kushner, the Jack of all trades and Master of none, was put in charge of "something else" yesterday. It seems that everytime a huge problem develops, Donald Trump calls on his son-in-law to take charge?
Jared just wanted everyone to know that the equipment bought or created for the coronavirus virus belonged to "them". It was to go into the "Federal stockpile". It was straight from Donald Trump's playbook. It was there for "them" to dole out to their friends, it was not there for all of "us".
That is the way it has been since day one of this presidency. Our country has been divided into "us" vs "them". Now, in the middle of epidemic, they continue to play politics with the lives of the American people.
It is very sad.

That sleazy little grifter said the states should have their own.
Corrupt so and so on the verge of losing his property, 666 until he went to Saudi and they bailed him out! That number is appropriate because if there is such a thing he will not be one of the 666!
Note here, I do not believe that man made number.

It's the social contract, the very foundation of democracy since the Enlightenment, the common good. Stealing the common good is thievery, fraud, embezzlement, grand larceny every bit as much as Bernie Madoff and insider trading Congressional-style

(23,166 posts)Jared is only brought in as window dressing when things are horrible - like his pretense of a Middle East peace plan that basically gave all the land and all the rights to Israel and created a permanent serf class of the Arabs. There was no peace involved in plan, only servitude and near slavery for Palestinians and the people of Gaza. There will be no supplies for us, no coordination among states, just abject failure and death and that is exactly what he intends. That's why he appointed him, he knows for sure he will fail because he has failed at everything his entire life. Couldn't risk appointing someone else because they would probably end the pandemic and he won't have his excuse to declare martial law and stop the elections - forever.

(23,166 posts)We have good friends in NZ and they have told us to come there and we could live with them until we can get our own place. My husband could even work there - bonus. I'd just miss my son and daughter too much. My sister would come with us, she's a CPA so has great job skills. Son and daughter are both talking about moving, and if they didn't live here I'd be much more inclined to move far away.

(5,175 posts)That is the way it has been for over 60 years, as the rethugs realized that playing us against each other keeps them in power. It has just become inescapably obvious with this administration. And, that obviousness has done little to help correct the situation. Typical behavior actually, as it usually takes being slammed in the face before an American will realize he should duck... which is the problem...
