Rachel Maddow: National COVID Response Useless For Coordinating Medical Supplies - MSNBC

however I'm not sure that anything will ever wake up the GOP base enough to make them into decent caring people again, who vote in their own best interest. The 1% have a done a good job of pedaling hate towards us. I'm afraid the pull of hate is to strong for them to break free.

A governor just described a serious problem. Then Trump comes on and claims there is no such problem. I'm betting that after Trump's remarks, no one was allowed to discuss the problem that was described.

Running the US government is not the same as selling real estate.

We keep saying nothing could be worse than it is. Well, it's getting worse every minute and heros like Maddow are doing a great job pointing out to us the facts.

Time to call them the "Trump Deaths." That, "and his Republican enablers", but it's too long.
Thank you, Rhiannon. Trust you are keeping well, along with everyone.

And of all those who are speaking out - and there are a lot of good ones, especially on MSNBC - Rachel is the best and most hard hitting, like she is on everything else. I wish this was required viewing for everyone!

And I hope that you're keeping well, too!

Does Pres. Dipshit think we don't know that he really does know how many times Governor's have pleaded for more COVID-19 test kits?

Oh, that's right he mostly listens to just one tv network and they don't talk about the medical needs across the country.

He can't do it as intensely as Rachel can and still get federal help, so she needs to fire away at this case every day until suppliers do direct business with governors.

Otherwise, disaster trump racketeering.
