"SNIP.....

“In September 2018, the Trump administration received detailed plans for a new machine designed to churn out millions of protective respirator masks at high speed during a pandemic,” the Washington Post reports.

“The plans, submitted to the Department of Health and Human Services by medical manufacturer O&M Halyard, were the culmination of a venture unveiled almost three years earlier by the Obama administration.”

“But HHS did not proceed with making the machine.”

1. Anything Obama had to be rejected

Just like ABC Anything But Clinton with W&Co.

[DENVERPOPS]

8. or when Reagan

took the solar panels off the white house that Carter had installed......

[EleanorR]

2. The deaths and suffering are all on him and those who voted for him

They own it all.

[SunSeeker]

3. K & R & Bookmarked!

[Starfury]

4. Hundreds of thousands will die needlessly

All to feed his ego and his irrational hatred of all things Obama.

[kentuck]

5. Some "nasty" reporter should ask him about this tomorrow?

But get ready to be slammed.

[paleotn]

9. Actually, that's not a bad idea...

At least for someone not worried about access. He'll sputter and spout crazy shit. Spew lies that can be refuted in real time. And look more and more like the incompetent nut case he is. Let him slam. I think it works to our advantage.

[keithbvadu2]

6. and he blamed Obama for leaving empty shelves?

[SleeplessinSoCal]

10. time to waterboard him til he starts telling the truth.

The entire administration is a shit-show because that is how he operates.

Mnuchin’s Unfilled Jobs Leave Treasury Stretched in Virus Crisis

24. Why not

Waterboard the whole republican party..the rich CEOs/ donors and shareholders make them tell the truth than drown them all. Oops..than Ask the magats if they want to be next.

7. His vengence on Obama is going to hang him

Sun Tzu, Kautilya and Machiavelli have written extensively on how one should follow the good strategies and strengths of an adversary if one wants to beat them.

Alas, if Trump had read anything ever. If he had read it, he would have continued Obama's long term policies and he would have an assured reelection.

Coronavirus was a phenomenal opportunity for a POTUS in the reelection year and if Trump had played it competently, he would have become unbeatable. He should have studied how Obama handled hurricane Sandy and co-opted Chris Christie.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

12. His vengeance will never be satiated

because he can't get past that correspondents dinner ribbing. All he has done is prove how Obama nailed him. He proves it more each day with only his cult trusting him.

Drink up suckers!

[paleotn]

13. To follow Sun Tzu, one has to think objectively.

Each morning, he can barely think past breakfast.

[tblue37]

17. Even the strong economy was a gift from Obama that Trump was already undermining before cv-19 hit. n

[Moostache]

19. He DID read...Hitler's speeches...

He is running a playbook alright...just hope someone gets to him BEFORE he gets to a bunker and kills BILLIONS before offing himself (don't really care what happens to Melania, do u?)...he is an affront to human decency

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. He figured he couldn't make any money from it.

[Tanuki]

14. Kicking for exposure

[amuse bouche]

15. I hate that douchebag

[RestoreAmerica2020]

16. He IS mephistopheles--f$@$%g evil!

[wiggs]

18. THEY DON'T REALLY WANT TO GOVERN. We know they ignored CV. We know for years they ignored and

actively fought against solutions for global warming. IIRC they wanted to defund the tsunami warning system. We know they deliberately weaken safety nets so most of the country lives on the edge of disaster.

What have they done to protect the american people, the 99%? Middle East wars are to protect resources and companies. Health care solutions other than every man for himself? Clean air and water? Nope. Education? Nope.

THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT LIE AND CAMPAIGN AND HELP CONCENTRATE WEALTH AND POWER AND YET THEY KEEP GETTING 'ELECTED'.

[Tucker08087]

20. I rarely curse, so excuse the language but...

... of fucking course he did! He has no idea how to be responsible, make decisions, or be a leader. And the MAGA crowd still loves him and believes his lies. Meanwhile I’m falling into a very dark hole. 😢

[NBachers]

21. Americans Die While Trump Lies

[kairos12]

22. Or when Shrub ignored 9/11 warnings

because it was a Clinton issued warning.

[Javaman]

23. He's like the anti-nostradamus

He does shit in direct conflict of future events lol
