The soulless orange POS lied about the swabs

Now tweeting it’s the states problem to do testing.

April 20, 2020

We cannot allow cable media to gloss over these two things.

Trump had REAL TIME American intelligence in November about the situation in China.

The trump administration is stealing shipments of PPE that states have already paid for to sell elsewhere.

This is criminal negligence bare minimum. IMO, it’s crimes against humanity.

Governors are not only having to secure and pay for their state's PPE.

They have to arrange for the shipment in complete secrecy to ensure the federal government does not come in and steal it from them to sell to the highest bidder.
In many cases that bidder is NOT in the a United States.
I don't understand why the media is not talking more about This

It's really difficult to contemplate the devastation.

The food lines are staggering. The stories of people waiting in line 24 hours ahead to ensure they get a bag. Food banks pleading for donations.
Doctors and nurses pleading and actually begging for protection to save their very lives while they care for the sick and dying.
Front line workers having to demand protection to keep the supply chain going.
So many dying.... this is just horrendous and terrible on so many levels.

It’s difficult to understand what is the hell motivates a supposed human to allow these things to continue when there are things that can be done to alleviate some of the suffering.

I fucking despise republicans. I will NEVER forgive them. I hope I live to see the White House occupant behind bars.

I blame republicons. They could have spared American lives by removing trump.

Thousands are dying daily and these soulless asswipes are handing out more millions to their friends, of course they won’t agree to spend money on those who most need it. Mitch McConnell and republicans could stop this instantly.

Criminals gonna criminal...

The people have a right to know.

Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” Thomas Jefferson~

“The free press is the mother of all our liberties and of our progress under liberty.” Adlai E. Stevenson~

The Founding Fathers included within the First Amendment to the Constitution our right to freedom of the press. As each branch of government was a check on the others, the press was given the freedom to check on all of them and to make those answer to the public. State-run media only propagates the government’s actions to make the public believe such actions and laws are necessary. The press of our new republic needed and required freedom from government censorship in order to keep the government in check rather than the people. Without the ability to know information… without the ability to question our elected leaders… then democracy can’t survive or progress. It will just deteriorate into despotism. As stated in the Stevenson quote above, freedom of the press is essential to any democratic (or republican) form of government. The final say should always lie with the people, and the people have the right to be Informed.
