LA Times reports that the Feds are literally stealing American states' medical supplies

Il Duce Trump has spoken?

 

From the Los Angeles Times:

 

 

Although President Trump has directed states and hospitals to secure what supplies they can, the federal government is quietly seizing orders, leaving medical providers across the country in the dark about where the material is going and how they can get what they need to deal with the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Hospital and clinic officials in seven states described the seizures in interviews over the past week. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is not publicly reporting the acquisitions, despite the outlay of millions of dollars of taxpayer money, nor has the administration detailed how it decides which supplies to seize and where to reroute them.

 

Officials who’ve had materials seized also say they’ve received no guidance from the government about how or if they will get access to the supplies they ordered. That has stoked concerns about how public funds are being spent and whether the Trump administration is fairly distributing scarce medical supplies.

In addition to being the malignant Adam Henry . . .

 

. . . who is actively preventing states from getting medical gear that they need at non-profiteering prices — now the President is (we can infer) directing his Brown Shirt Administration to steal whatever it wants from the American states and their taxpayers.

 

Evidently, this effort is intended to further ensure that the United States' miserably incompetent anti-COVID effort goes up in metaphorically flaming, still more bodies.

 

 

The moral? — The United States' nightmare enemy is (absolutely) its own rotten ethos

 

I cannot recall another instance, from across my 8 decades, that comes anywhere close to this one for being so clearly nation-destroying.

 

On the one hand, America in Crisis once had Abraham Lincoln and FDR.

 

Now, it has Toddling Donny's full diaper.

 

The contrast in quality is culturally illuminating.
