Trump and Republicans prove they are unable to govern in their Covid 19 response

[iguanaman]

I have never seen such incompetence in the Federal Govt. Fema is unable to handle the procurement and distribution of needed Medical supplies so each of the 50 States must bid against each other to grab what they can for themselves. What is the reason for this failure? It is one that will definitely cost American lives. Why can't Trump grow a pair and take the reigns on this? It is inexcusable and grounds for his removal. I'm really am sorry to say this but it is what it is.

Kind of wondering what the percentage is in staying in the union, really.

If we have to "compete" with each other for necessary assistance, then we don't have a government, we have a broker.

It seems to the natural extension of the GOP's big Govt. is bad meme. They are making it a self fulfilling prophecy not mentioning that they mean big Govt. is bad when run by them. They are incapable and unfit to govern and no doubt they will try to turn that into a plus. :lol:

PJ O'Rourke once said "Republicans say government doesn't work, and then they get elected and prove it."

Reagan doesn't look all that irrational now. Even if he helped get us where we are today.

A slight majority of Americans approve of Trump's handling so far of this pandemic. 50.5% approve, 45.4% disapprove.

RealClearPolitics - Election Other - Public Approval of President Trump's Handling of the Coronavirus

One's view on how Trump has handled this crisis so far is very partisan. 84% of Democrats disapprove, 89% of Republicans approve. You can't get much more partisan than that. So the question then becomes, what do independents think? The more or less non-partisans, the non-affiliated, those who don't let the letter behind a person's name decide how they think. 48% of the non to less partisan folks, independents approve of Trump's handling of the Corona Virus, 42% disapprove.

Personally, I think it's a shame our two major parties can't come together, work together to beat this thing instead of continuing on with their partisan politics as usual. This makes me think neither party gives a damn about anything but gaining a political advantage.

It's funny that you only mention partisanship and nothing about the question I asked? Why can't Trump order FEMA to take control over all medical supplies related to this crisis so that they may direct them to States with the most need? Does he want more Americans to die or not? As much as you seem to want it to be, there is nothing political about saving peoples lives. It is the sacred duty of the Federal Govt. above all else. Do you think 50% of America thinks that the Feds slacking off their sworn duty and letting more people die is the right thing to do? How about 89% of Republicans?

Yes. How does that apply, here?

You won't get an answer because Pero knows you're correct. If the mango administration doesn't have a supply chain manager then hire one from the private sector (there are many) and take control of the acquisition and distribution of medical equipment. Having all 50 states plus FEMA competing for the same supply inventory is criminally insane!

clown-face neglecting to do so is going to cost many lives.

You guys cannot stand to see Trump winning, again, so you bitch.

You have actually just stated the libertarian platform. These people would rather die than see the federal government do anything. Literally.

Nothing like having a weak and incompetent government to prove that government is weak and incompetent.

Because America isnt a dictatorship? If you want the government to run everything you and the other lefties can move to China or NK. The governors at the state level should be in charge, because its how the Federal government works.

What an astute analysis, did you come up with that yourself? What is Trump winning by the way?

He did teach the Republican Party the value of the Laffer curve and “trickle down economics”.

With then, you can convince the gullible suckers out there in Fox world that they will get rich if they let the 1% keep all their money, while the wait for the trickle down.

You can borrow and spend with abandon, knowing that the bill will be passed to your successor.

I don’t think Reagan meant for it to work out that way. But it did.

George W Bush and Donald Trump (in this case read Steve Mnuchin) were under no illusions (will Trump doesn’t actually know anything about it), that they could peddle the same sauce to the sucker and leave the tab unpaid.

I'm not a doctor and I don't know the best way to take care of this. But under the circumstances I would think the leaders of this nation, from both political parties can sit down together and come up with a plan. If that is letting FEMA take over all medical supplies, so be it. But it does seem neither party want to cooperate with the other.

Now I'm also positive that no one to include Trump, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, both political parties want a bunch of people to die. The problem is they are unwilling to work with each other to prevent it. You can say using your method, that by not being willing to work with each other 85% of Democrats want people to die along with 89% of Republicans. I'm sick and tired of the hyperbole very partisan approach. Both major parties needs to be tossed out the window onto the trash heap of history for putting gaining a political advantage over the other above the country needs.

Now if you equate wanting cooperation between the two major parties wanting people to die, then you're way too partisan for my blood. You're one of those putting political party above country as are most very partisan political party diehards.

C-

No snap and little originality. Are you sure you want this line of work?

I did not realize I would be called on to critique bad attempts at humor. That's not analysis. It's an explanation of a literary reference.

Trump is winning by looking Presidential in a crisis. This is not difficult.

There is only the Trump party that has the power to implement a FEMA takeover of medical supplies. That is Trumps job., FEMA is part of the Executive in case you forgot. No one is "trying to gain political advantage" only trying to give our caregivers the equipment they need to save lives. There will be plenty of time to lay blame in a few months and that won't save a single soul. You "both sides" are to blame BS sounds just like Trump speaking about Charlottesville.

With the corrupt Republicans, it's about profiting, not governing. That's been obvious for a long time.

Hahah!! Hottest states are blue with Federal, State and Local Democrat politicians on record downplaying the threat and telling people to fight racism by going out and mingling...

... But it's the Republicans that are the problem...




Uuuuh huh...





Mmmmm hmmmm....

Yeah, you run with that. :roll:
