All 50 states under disaster declaration for first time in US history

Source: The Hill

All 50 states are under a major disaster declaration for the first time in U.S. history, after President Trump approved Wyoming’s declaration Saturday.

Within 22 days, Trump declared a major emergency in all 50 states and most territories through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

The final disaster declaration occurred on the same day the U.S.’s death toll surpassed Italy’s to become the country with the most deaths from the virus.

an inevitable natural disaster.

"Who could have predicted this?" The CDC, The CIA, The members of the NSC planning group tasked with predicting and preparing for just such an event. The Pentagon, WHO, 4 or 5 dozen specialist researchers in epidemiology, along with at least as many environmental researchers. Not to mention the pros at BIG PHARMA, LLC, and the Vulture investment houses. That's who did predict such an event as many as 30 years ago.

And who just HAD to silence or dismantle the various groups, panels, commissions and individuals tasked with forward thinking about preparing to meet this kind of catastrophe? The man with no plan but to erase government along with anyone who might vote him out of office.

He is a vile thing who poisons everything he touches...

Lock him up.

I sent a nasty gram back to the paper in response stating how that orange fuck and total pendejo had lots of experts who were telling him this whole pandemic was going to turn in to a giant cluster fuck of a dumpster fire.

of the delays to allow it to spread.: More victims = More fear=more money & control.

I'm not saying they knew how bad it was going to be, I'm saying they planned and acted to help it be this bad.

and then his trumpness had to approve of it................what the fuck gives..................didn't his trumpness say that it was all a HOAX...................and then within 22 days he got the message.............and then the fuck head said these word's of wisdom............

Trump praised the declarations in a tweet Sunday, saying "We are winning, and will win, the war on the Invisible Enemy!".............


Really asshole there is no vaccine, you have over 18,000 deaths on your watch and its still going up, that is called BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS....................your a complete failure.......and your praising declarations, if you hadn't been sitting on your hands for over 30 days we wouldn't possibly be in this shit sandwich...................are you that fucking stupid.........yes you are with your "metrics"..........remember your "metrics"................

Well - to anyone but us on the progressive side.

We (certainly on DU!) have been sounding the alarm since the day he went down that escalator surrounded by paid clappers, that this isn't just a swindler and a con man - he's a profoundly sociopathic creature who would gladly throw his own country to the wolves if he thinks it would benefit him and his friends.

If one good thing can come out this whole calamity, is that the vast majority of voters can finally see Cheeto for what he is.

Most of the rest of the world certainly does.
