Once again, Trump proves he does not give a shit about Americans

The Trump administration plans to send U.S. citizens exposed to the Ebola virus to Kenya rather than bring them home for observation and treatment, according to three people with knowledge of the plans. The approach is a stark contrast to the way previous administrations responded to outbreaks.

How many people will die because of this idiot?

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

They are shit stains in America's underwear

2 died of Ebola: They said Obama should resign.

4 died in Benghazi: They had Hillary testify for 11 hours, held 33 hearings, and launched a 4-year probe.

1,113,307 Covid deaths plus an armed insurrection thanks to Trump’s malevolence: They cheered, and want America to move on.

Ebola crapola

In a shocking development, republicans are trying to fire up their chickenshit (literally) base for the upcoming elections by doing what they do best:  showing just how lily-livered they are in the face of any adversity, this time the challenge being ebola.  And just to prove it, they are holding hearings next week, the point of which is to spread panic, and not to discuss their continuous defunding of crucial public health programs like the CDC and the NIH, or even their inability to get more funding for ebola research in the midst of the current outbreak because of their noses constantly being up the tea party's ass.

Because in republican bizarro world, little gnomes fall out of oak trees and deliver vaccines and disease control.

Needless to say, republicans are a bit defensive on the subject of their voting against funding for public health concerns, because, hell, everything from plagues of locusts to the whiskey shits are Obama's fault, and never theirs.  And it certainly doesn't help their cause when the head of the NIH tells Americans that we'd have a vaccine for ebola by now if not for the budget cuts.

And once again, we have the republican party showing that they just flat don't give a shit about the well-being of Americans, unless of course you're scared shitless and sitting in a corner with your thumb in your mouth.

Who's to bless and who's to blame

Now that a third Ebola diagnosis has been confirmed in Texas, a couple of thoughts:

• While republicans are moving forward with their usual bullshit (It's Obama's fault! Government sucks!) doesn't anyone else wonder exactly how much responsibility Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital bears?  Are they, like most corporations anymore, understaffed in order to cut costs?  Are their staff members, again, like most corporations anymore, trying to do jobs that once were done by two and three people?  Why isn't a plan for responding to infectious diseases already in place?  Was it deemed to be not cost effective?  I mean for Christ's sake, a hospital's main function is supposed to be the health and well being of its patients and staff, and it sure seems like it really wasn't at this hospital.
• For all the whining about the response of the White House and the CDC, am I the only one who isn't surprised this happened in a state that is openly hostile to the federal government?  Maybe it gets botched in California or New York, too, but one has to wonder how open to suggestion or quick to seek guidance the powers that be in Texas are.  

All of which is not to say that the White House and the CDC couldn't have done better, but we're getting the standard media laziness which all too often allows Corporate America and the republican party/tea party escape blame for  problems they likely caused.
