    Who is running this chicken operation? Months into this disaster and nobody can figure where to send needed items to save lives? I thought the swamp was going to be drained;

    "Despite having committed to transferring 2,000 ventilators in military stocks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services to fight the coronavirus outbreak, the Pentagon has not shipped any of them because the agencies have not asked for them or provided a shipping location, the Pentagon's top logistics official said Tuesday."

    Sounds like a Republican operation, for sure. Trump is clueless, Pence is scared to send them to the wrong kiss-butt State governor, the governirs ask Trump but Trump doesn't tell the governors where to stick the cash to bribe Trump (psst: its to be given to Trump's daughter to her presidential campaign).

    Guidance is lacking in the Trump White House!

    No doubt every major city wants them, plus thousands are being made, and add they happen to find warehouses full of stuff, the problem looks to be figuring out if depleting military stock is even a good idea...

    Republican bureacracy at its business.

    How do you think its going? Badl

    Its a Republican administration, whose only purpose is to give the highest giveaways to the most wealthy buddies, who then pays the bribes to the Republican leaders!

    However, there was a great efficiency the Republicans worked out with our new leader! The billionaires are simply directly put in charge for the Cabinet and the President, regardless of their competance or experience!

    So now we have a brain surgeon put in charge of housing, amoney manager who lost all of her investments (its great to be a billionaire!) and knows nothing of education which she operates, a money manager whose purpose to make billionaires into bigger billionaires at the expense of working people who is in garge with money, and a billionaire President who makes money from the taxpayers to pay for his businesses! All of whom have lost trillions to put America deeper in debt!

    Remember when Carter had to get rid of his lifelong peanut farm?

    We need a Democratic again to survive!
