So Pearl Harbor has been attacked

President Trump suggests that the states get themselves in gear and do everything they can to reply.

Some states make guns. Other states make bullets that don't fit those guns.

Some states build bombers. Other states search around for people that know how to fly planes.

Some states make submarine parts. Other states try to figure out how to assemble those parts.

You get the idea. That's exactly what's going on today. All because of one ignorant, orange monster who doesn't have a clue about reality. That blood won't just be on his hands. He'll be up to his neck in it.

This horrible beast needs to go if tens of thousands are to survive. Then again, it may be too late.

to be the conductor and the states to be the orchestra. There is no way this can work at this point. It is cacophony.

imagine him calling the bombing of pearl harbor a hoax and doing nothing about it for a month or two.

imagine him outbidding states for military equipment and weapons

imagine him accusing governors failing and whining and playing politics with the situation

imagine him holding daily campaign ads and having ceos praise him

imagine him blaming everything on being distracted by an investigation that wound down well before pearl harbor.

Unfortunately, this analogy is an exact parallel of today's reality.

I posted this on a local Facebook page, and the 1st response was "Is this true? Pearl Harbor was attacked?"

Bluto: What? Over? Did you say 'over'? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...

It ain't over now, 'cause when the goin' gets tough, the tough get goin'. Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!

Pure cynicism by him. He believes if he can push all the responsibility onto the governors he can dodge any fault. At least 40% of the population will buy this strategy.
