Your Republican administration at work, corruption at its finest:
“The Trump administration paid a bankrupt company with zero employees $55 million for N95 masks, which it’s never manufactured…
The Post reported that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was paying Panthera about $5.50 per mask, decidedly more than what the government pays companies with an established background in producing medical supplies such as 3M, which charges about $0.63 per mask.”

Yep. Never made, bought, or sold masks before. But they had the best sales pitch, ” I know a guy…”
lol @ thought police
“Why do we have to listen to Guido Cuomo Every. Damned. Day?” Carolyn Hall Fisher, GaGOP first vice chair on Facebook.
Dana Milbank: Is it possible Trump is more self-aware than we thought?
Like Bligh, he is abusive. Unlike Bligh, he is a poor navigator. The Trump-as-errant-captain theme has been explored, delightfully, by novelist Dave Eggers in his recent allegory, “The Captain and the Glory”:
“He nudged the wheel a bit left, and the entire ship listed leftward, which was both frightening and thrilling. He turned the wheel to the right, and the totality of the ship, and its uncountable passengers and their possessions, all were sent rightward. In the cafeteria, where the passengers were eating lunch, a thousand plates and glasses shattered. An elderly man was thrown from his chair, struck his head on the dessert cart and died later that night. High above, the Captain was elated by the riveting drama caused by the surprises of his steering.”
So it is with our captain, who claims absolute authority but takes no responsibility.
