The World’s Greatest Deal Maker Screwed The Deal
You know how Trump keeps saying there are 10,000 ventilators in reserve that he can send to hospitals in need? Yeah, but …
But what federal officials have neglected to mention is that an additional 2,109 lifesaving devices are unavailable after the contract to maintain the government’s stockpile lapsed late last summer, and a contracting dispute meant that a new firm did not begin its work until late January. By then, the coronavirus crisis was already underway.
And that’s the Art of The Deal.
Yeah, they failed to keep a contract to maintain the machines.
Well, that’s just beautiful, isn’t it?
I guess there was no money or kickbacks for Trump’s hoard of cabinet secretaries.
Who could have guessed that a “businessman” who repeatedly bankrupted businesses could not effectively run a country? I mean, who could have guessed?
1I’m shocked—shocked I tell you.
2This is what having a for profit healthcare system is all about.
Jacking up the cost for the end user…
3And now he can claim he is not the Chief Microbiologist, otherwise he would have known all about stuff like Candida aurus , etc. Candida sounds almost like a “sweet” name but it can kill you especially if it has taken up residence in a ventilator.
4But they sure managed to make the Secret Service sign a $45,000 contract to rent golf carts at the Orange Moron’s golf courses.
5January 19, 2021 is my birthday. It’s not one of those big round ones, but I’m planning a party and we will all watch his majesty leave the White House and Joe move in. Please all of you make my dream come true!
6I’ll do my part, Grandma Ada
7We all know that a contract doesn’t mean anything to the miserably effing scrotus unless it’s entirely in his favor!
8By the way. Did y’all receive the lovely post card the scrotus sent us reminding us to be safe’n’all. With his name clearly printed on it as though the government is his.
9What sort of outcry do you suppose “they” would have made if a real president, like Barack Hussien Obama had done something even close to it.
Grandma Ada, if by some stroke of magic Moscow Mitch grasps a clue about the obvious, that Covidiot* 45 much go now, please, please, please may we have ice-cream and cake to celebrate your birthday twice? Maybe some adult libations, too please, if Moscow Mitch flees and takes Elaine Chao with him?

10Gov. Abbott expressed his lack of concern for ventilators in Texas a few days ago with the comment that he didn’t know how many were “needed” so he wasn’t concerned that he didn’t know how many Texas hospitals had.
My county now has eight people in hospitals on ventilators (or did yesterday…who knows about today already?)
Abbott could of course have found out how many ventilators Texas hospitals had, and how many those with knowledge of the disease and rapidly spreading diseases thought Texas *should* have, two months ago if he’d asked those who might actually know (experts…oooh…those nasty fact-based thinkers, and, even, probably hospital administrators) instead of GOPtards, but of course he didn’t. He could’ve had a county by county countdown–and it could’ve included every hospital’s supply of masks, hospital gowns, gloves, etc. so that he could have…you know…DONE something about the lack thereof, maybe. But no.
