Nothing was taken. He decided to donate it.

The CDC developed guidelines for how to effectively communicate to the public in these situations. The Trump admin apparently threw them out the window.

There was a petition to prosecute these guys - it appears they violated Tennessee code for being jackasses...

Quote:
Matt Colvin stayed home near Chattanooga, preparing for pallets of even more wipes and sanitizer he had ordered, and starting to list them on Amazon. Mr. Colvin said he had posted 300 bottles of hand sanitizer and immediately sold them all for between $8 and $70 each, multiples higher than what he had bought them for. To him, 'it was crazy money.' To many others, it was profiteering from a pandemic."

Colvin is a resident of Tennessee, where this practice is illegal under Tennessee code § 47-18-5101.

Illinois Governor reporting Federal resources at O’ Hare have doubled since he put out a harsh tweet last night. He knows the squeaky wheel gets oiled.

Yeah, sadly it really wasn't that much of a joke.

Hmm. People who have been screaming endlessly for weeks against Trump (or for him) seem uninterested in discussing an actual issue, its political ramifications, and whether it might (or should) come to the U.S.

A little bass-ackwards, are we?

Funny, so when a mayor tells the city to go home, because of snow....the federal employees don't have to listen.

And you think by running a Communist and Dead Head to take his place Democrats would have done better.

I trust Trump way more than the 2 Idiots the Dems are offering.

State what is new....and leave. Don't try and offer advice unless you are a medical expert.

Didn't watch -- choosing to take advantage of streaming music on Relix......so much better for the soul.
You missed Trump announcing we have it “under control”, before leaving the stage. He got another emergency rate cut and more QE so life is good for him.

No they don't. They have to take their guidance from the federal government (OPM). So a city could be closed for snow but the feds still go in.
