I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. I-1 continues to call out Washington State Governor Jay Inslee for "complaining" about I-1 and the federal response. I-1 also called out "a woman governor" (Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan) for "complaining". I-1 has also suggested he will help those states that treat him nicely. Many states have reported that they ordered needed supplies only to find out that they had been outbid by the federal government or that the supplier simply diverted their order to the federal government. So... Is I-1 going to hoard everything and dole it out only to those states and governors that shower him with fawning adulation? This is not looking good. The school bully stole your lunch and will only give (some of) it back if you tell him he is a swell human being and a very stable genius. And if you don't reply fast enough, he kicks you in the nuts a couple of times, too.

I noticed the same thing. Scary, isn't it?

Words fail to express how much I detest that miserable excuse of a human being.

And if Stephen Miller is behind it (which we can assume he is), the federal government will be doling out supplies (or not) based on the number of brown people in the state.

Not necessarily a madman. Just a sociopath with severe narcissistic personality disorder, and maybe a few other disorders thrown in for good measure. | |||

Poorly qualified. Lacking the necessary skills. Thin skinned. So there were no Democrats at the signing of the bill yesterday. I was looking at the video and saw Mnuchin, Pence, the Turtle and a couple of other people. Not one Democrat. Which might be a good thing in this time of an easily transmitted virus. I haven't looked this up, so I'm assuming it's a case of no one got invited rather than the Democrats chose not to attend. But I'll allow for the possibility. A couple of the task force members have made it a point to give a shout out to Dems who worked to get a bill passed. Oh, and I-1 isn't mentioning Thomas Massie's antics. Quelle surprise.

Dear Leader.

And, of course, his supporters will say there’s nothing wrong with this... it’s Inslee’s and Whitmer’s faults. They *should* be more appreciative of everything Dear Leader has done. We are fvcked.

Not necessarily. Even I-1 acknowledged that Pence doesn't agree and that he "quietly calls" the governors anyway. I'm sure there are other grown ups in the administration. I-1 can no longer hold his rallies and he's playing to his base during the pressers. Individual citizens who see him front and center every day on TV, if they can stomach watching, can make their own decisions as to what they think of his leadership.

Whitmer has claimed that suppliers are telling her that they are being pressured by the administration not to supply equipment to Michigan. If that claim has legs, I don't know what to say. Under those circumstances, I might be tempted to threaten asset seizures of those corporations. GM, for instance, is being ordered by the administration to produce more ventilators. Michigan should simply confiscate those ventilators from Michigan factories, setting up a genuine attention-grabbing conflict with the federal government ... | |||

These types of behaviors by our petulant "president" seem to be the illogical extension of what's been building and nurtured by some parts of America for a long time: No empathy for anyone deemed "other" - which can get as specific as "outside of my family". sigh

When does it cross over from gross incompetence and narcissism to crimes against humanity? People are dying and I-1 is talking about withholding needed medical supplies from states whose governors do not “treat you nicely”. What the hell country are we in???
