1. Does anyone else recall

that his cronies stole covid equipment and Dems had to immediately respond to the sources that were delivering to their city/state?

3. And not just that: he rushed 10 million vaccine doses EACH to Isreal and the UAE - in 12/2020

When not even our first responders could get any!

The biggest Trump scandal no one's heard of - thanks to our "free" press.

13. Yes, there were several posts (at least) about it here. It was hard to believe...

...but it happened, and it was likely run through Jared Kushner's office. We already know from his own words that the cities and "blue" areas would "just have to suffer"...and that included Kushner's home of NYC.

Furthermore, several states actually ran Bourne Identity-style spy-movie operations to keep their supplies safe (tactical encrypted radios, decoy vehicles, the works).

2. Criminal in the pandemic's handling - and quite possibly in its VERY ORIGINS
Sun Oct 13, 2024, 11:35 AM

Every time Cheeto and his Chumpkins try to pin the origins of the pandemic on Dr. Fauci, it convinces me more and more that it may have been, in fact, a Trump bio-warfare attack on China.

One which - in his boundless stupidity - he thought would "only affect China."

And since the CIA and Pentagon wouldn't go along with it (for obvious reasons), he simply did what he did in Venezuela: hire mercenaries (some possibly posing as athletes for the 2019 Military World Games....in Hunan).

I wouldn't necessarily say that's what happened - but I know this: you can't put it past him.

5. Roy Cohn taught Trump: When committing great crimes, compromise as many important people as you can

Or the institutions themselves, if you can.

That way, they themselves will have a vested interest in covering said crime up for you - even if they hate your fat, orange ass.

As they say, an apt pupil.

12. When you vote, remember that.

A million unnecessary deaths. Countless loss of physical and mental health. Economic ruin for many. A seeding of distrust in the things that worked - vaccine, masks, social distancing. Now we are learning the criminal conduct - sending supplies and tests to elite cronies for political favor. The lies to cover disaster in an election year are very similar to today. I will never forgive or forget seeing nurses having to wear trash bags and re used one-use masks to care for critical patients housed in the gift shop of a hospital because there was no other place. Having to rig ventilators to share between 2 patients. Having to treat any patient with symptoms as if they had COVID because there were no tests, no swabs, no reagents if you had the equipment. The terrified patients in line for a vaccine because they read on the internet that it would make them sterile or had trackable microchips in it.

The 🍊 🐔 💩 🐖 Trump and his minions did that.

Fucking remember that when you vote.

/rant off.

over the phone, when she was dying from Covid 19.

This video as should be shown non-stop, in every swing state and in every single precinct in our country that votes or leans republican.

His arrogant and conceited lying and incompetence politicized the simple measures of wearing a mask and social distancing.

He killed "millions and millions " of our people. He crashed the economy and ruined people's lives, and then DARED to lie about his failures and complicity in the disaster and actually rated his performance as a 10!

I don't have any words strong enough to adequately express my rage at this murderous grifting monster.

Covid-19 didn't go away after all, so this mothballed video is still relevant
