A friend is a retired VA nurse. They want her to come back, but her colleagues have told her that masks and gowns are in short supply. So she's staying home.

Bush et al should not have been allowed to get away with stealing the Presidency from Gore and everyone who went along with that illegal war in Iraq should still be in prison.

He's expanded from stealing wages from the undocumented workers at his hotels, to swiping critical supplies from hospitals. He's put the lives of the professional staff who risk their lives every day, to the most vulnerable of patients. And he doesn't care.

All he sees is a great photo op where Trump the Beneficent swoops down from on high and delivers some boxes of supplies to a hospital where maybe someone praised him. He's love to stand on a platform and toss out packages of PPE and masks to a grateful crowd, cheering his name for the evening news coverage.

Then you get your masks.

Or maybe the masks will go to a country that forgives his debt? Or lets him build a golf course?

All we know for sure is he is using the stockpile to benefit himself or his family in some way. That is a given.

They are to lazy to do any work themselves to supply our stockpiles, so instead they just steal it. That's what cons do.

Not sure where "Ernie" came from. I knew his name was "Eddie", and yet I still managed to screw it up. Doh.

If there's a vet in your life, tell them. Call them. Now. Tell them to call another vet.

This outright theft from the feds is NOT LEGAL.

Not in Massachusetts, not any where.

Not at the VA's expense either.

Now, call your elected representative and senators.

This SHIT has got to stop.

We need a Congressional investigation into these thefts and WHERE in the Hell they're being diverted.

Republican fundraiser looks to cash in on coronavirus

The fundraiser, Mike Gula, didn’t specify his new line of work in the email. But in an interview, he said he’d started a new company selling medical equipment that’s been in short supply during the coronavirus pandemic.
----------
Asked how he’d managed to procure such equipment when there are shortages in hospitals across the country, Gula said, “I have relationships with a lot of people.”
