In Germany before WW2

it started with eugenics. They killed babies and adults who they considered "defective." That evolved into eradication of those that were considered undesirable. The heinous crimes they committed earned some of them a noose.

I think we need to be very, very careful how we treat victims of this virus and step back from the line drawn between triage and crimes against humanity. If Trump has ventilators stockpiled and is refusing to give out what basically is the People's property, then he is flirting with a horrible crime for which there is no excuse.

I haven't heard Trump, nor Pence, nor
Brix, nor Adams, state that they are working on getting the number of vents that this nation needs or will need. I doubt very much that Governor Cuomo is begging for excess vents in order to sell them on eBay.

We need masks, gowns, and gloves.

We need ventilators.

If Trump had done nothing but supply these things, we would be somewhat ahead of the game. We are now hearing stories of how our front line soldiers in the trenches are going bare in order to treat the sick. Trump could have done something to correct this horrible situation. But, he prefers to argue over what he claims to be an incorrect number of vents needed.

Fuck you, Trump. Do your fucking job, asshole.

How anyone could vote for this failure of a pRes, I can't fathom.

The policies they are working are repugnant, illegal, and will never be talked about before they are implemented. They can only be slipped in at times of extreme crisis.

What are they intentionally causing?

The extermination of Ethnic German citizens is usually lost to history because the numbers of Jews, Gypsies, and communists were far greater. But the nazis used the elimination of undesirables to develop their later death camps.

If a Governor does not grovel sufficiently, then they don't get any ventilators.
