It's pure partisanship of the most ridiculous variety, in both directions.
The 'left'-corporatist Magic Negro's executive presided over the issuance of many masks from the Strategic National Stockpile. Then 'right'-corporatist Tea Bagger Congressmen
blocked their replenishment. Bad.. but did Barack
HUSSEIN Obongo do anything to force them to act responsibly.. perhaps threaten to veto a bill or three? Of course not.
God Emperor Ronald Blumpf could in theory have rectified this situation, with Republican control over both houses of Congress, but did he? Of course not. There were important promises to be kept, the promises that Paul Ryan ran on. Tax cuts. Pardening Sholom Rubashkin over his conviction for employing hundreds of illegal aliens. Tax cuts. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem. And, of course, tax cuts. Hillary Clinton, the vampire of Waco, wouldn't have done anything different vis a vis disaster preparedness.
