    Don’t forget that hospitals in desperate need of PPE had shipments hijacked and stolen by the feds, given to corrupts pop-up resellers run by cronies and auctioned off back to the hospitals that originally bought them.

    Having a memory and attention span longer than 2 weeks is fucking exhuasting

      The New England Patriots used their private plane to smuggle PPE into the country because the regime was stealing shipments off the runway.

      I worked in a rural hospital in a blue state throughout the entire pandemic and do not remember this. Can someone add sources bc I’m not seeing much when I Google it. The hospital I worked for had serious problems with misappropriation of funds from government funding but we did have PPE.

        Trump also routed very expensive reusable COVID testing machines to his boss, Putin, to make sure he stayed in good health at the cost of American lives.

        Trump and all republicans are anti-American scum who need to go away from this planet.

      I, like Pepperidge Farm, also remember. That was such a massive shit show, I have no idea how the Administration Responsible for PPE Hijacking managed to get a second installment of the show going. That really should have been the end of them all.

        Thats because the people who voted for him the second time either don’t know, or don’t care.

        I swear I read that some hospitals had to have it shipped to odd places or roundabout fashions just so they’d have a chance to actually get it delivered.
