We Are All Puerto Ricans' Now - At Least They Got Towels There

Welcome to Trump's America my friends. You all have your wills done and updated right?

Disaster (even a slow moving one) strikes.

Our commander in chief spends all his time attacking his enemies, and trying to control the news cycle while innocent people are dying because of his insane incompetence and disgusting lies. We don't even get paper towels folks. I went to Costco and there weren't any. Zip.

Tests? Ya gotta be kidding. Tests for the virus. Maybe some day. Possibly..... Maybe, maybe not.

Getting tests for us in Seattle is a "priority" according to the front page of the Seattle Times. Yeah right. How many more contracted the virus today? No one knows.

Just like the Clint Eastwood movie High Plains Drifter. Welcome to HELL.

It is insane. I feel like I am the only angry one here in Seattle. This MF is gonna get us all killed because he doesn't want to look bad. Now he has thousands trapped on a cruise ship because if they come ashore for TREATMENT and TESTING the number of confirmed cases will rise, and that will make Golden Calf Trump look bad to his cult.

No word to describe my anger......

see:

"Anybody right now and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They're there. They have the tests and the tests are beautiful. Anybody that needs a test gets a test. If there's a doctor that wants to test, if there's somebody coming off a ship like the big monster ship that's out there right now, which you know again, that's a big decision. Do I wanna bring all of those people on? People would like me to do that. I don't like the idea of doing it."


YES, that is what the fuck he said

to be done. As long as we don't do mass testing he can pretend that there is nothing wrong. Testing might actually verify his incompetence. Yeah like we don't already know he is incompetent.

OTOH, I think we're luckier than in some places, because we've got the researchers at UW and Fred Hutch working on this day and night -- and they're not trying to cover up for Trump.

So we know more about the situation here -- as scary as it is -- than most people do in other cities. But they will find out soon enough.
