    Kamala Harris sought to capitalize on reporting from a new book by journalist Bob Woodward that alleges former President Donald Trump while in office sent Russian President Vladimir Putin Covid-19 testing devices during the height of the pandemic.

    “That is just the most recent, stark example of who Donald Trump is,” Harris said Tuesday in an interview on The Howard Stern Show.

    The vice president said people were “scrambling to get these kits” during the pandemic, adding, “And this guy who is president of the United States is sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator, for his personal use?”

    Good! She needs to be on top of the headlines. This stuff gets too easily swept under the rug, and she has to be out there pushing it.

    There is little less American than supporting Russian socialists. The cold war never really ends.

  4. Trump convinces his MAGA minions that Covid is a hoax. They die by the thousands Trump gets Covid and receives the best treatment that modern medicine has to offer. Sends Putin Covid test kits.

    MAGA’s are idiots.

    If trump gets elected he will tell putin go ahead, we are out, then pull out of nato. He fears Putin.

  6. This has been something Democrats have been way too slow at, capitalizing on stories coming out.

    Very refreshing to see the speed her and her team jumped on this story.

  7. Wait, is this where the hijacked respiratory devices and PPE went too? When armed gmen were raiding transports of this shit!?

  8. As an American, what’s most embarrassing to me is what a suck-up, ass-kisser Trump is to Putin. No other US President has been so obsequious to anyone, much less someone who has been an adversary to our country.

    Remember, Putin views Trump as a clown. Several months ago, Trump was telling everyone in the press that reporter Evan Gershkovich, who was imprisoned in Russia, would only be released if Trump won the 2024 election. Trump promised that once he won the election, Gershkovich would be released within HOURS of the victory.

    Putin released Gershkovich in a prisoner swap just days after Trump made his announcements to the press. If Putin had any respect for Trump, he would have continued to hold the reporter, but he released him because he enjoys showing the world what a buffoon Trump is.

    Bloomberg sucks. So the story to them is Harris seizing on claims. Not the idea that trump sold out Americans for his boyfriend Pooty.

  10. Sadly it won’t matter. He claimed Covid was a hoax and fired the pandemic response team. Trump’s political play led to the deaths of over 1 million Americans; a good chunk of which were his own supporters. Yet, they still line up to suck his small dick.

    His supporters are just going to say he was being diplomatic or “good, we didn’t need no stinking tests”.

    The only thing that is controversial about this, is Trump and his administration kept it a secret. It is in the USA’s national best interest that in a time of international emergency, government stability both friend and foe is maintained.

    The gesture of sending COVID test devices to strategic leaders around the world is just fine. However, if he sent the devices out of country before sending to State officials (blue state governors for example) that that is just another deplorable piece of shit thing Trump did that not a single MAGA supporter care about.. and probably smiling about

  13. I think US gov supplying COVID tests is great. Probably should focus on US distribution tho.

    MAGA: Covid is a Hoax, This just proves that Trump hates Putin since he knew the Tests were Useless.

  15. This fucking guy is beyond disgraceful.

    >“Look, I don’t want any wounded guys in the parade,” Trump said.

    >“Those are the heroes,” Kelly said. “In our society, there’s only **one** group
    of people who are more heroic than they are – and they are buried over *in
    Arlington.*”

    >“I don’t want them,” Trump responded. **“It doesn’t look good for me.”**

    >Kelly condemned Trump for failing to understand the essence of **America**.
    Trump is a “person that has *no idea* what **America** stands for and has *no idea*
    what America is all about. A person who cavalierly suggests that a selfless
    warrior who has served his country for 40 years in peacetime and war should
    lose his life for treason — in expectation that someone will take action. A
    person who **admires autocrats and murderous dictators**. A person that has
    nothing but contempt for our ***democratic institutions, our Constitution, and
    the rule of law.”***

    Kelly is being generous. If you were to ask me, shitpants is *LESS THAN* human.

  16. Sort of like how Bush let the Saudis fly out of the US after 9-11.

    The Republicans have been working to destroy the United States for a long time.

  17. Damn Josh.

    Alternate lede – Kamal Harris reacted to news today that Donald Trump, while president, sent medical supplies to a foreign dictator while withholding them from American citizens.

    Classic Trump shuffle, while people died over here, claim nothing is wrong while siphoning our resources and helping his friend.

  19. delusiongenerator on

    Yeah, hopefully her DOJ won’t waste any time seizing on that shit either. Where the hell u been, Merrick Garland?

  20. Why would Putin trust kits from an American president. I’m assuming a us president would never trust a medical device sent straight from the Kremlin. It’s almost like trump is Putins little lapdog and knows better than to fuck with him.

    Prior to this, Don Old provided Putin with a list of American spies.

    After than, many were arrested and executed.

    Remember, Don Old has a vendetta against US intelligence agencies.

  22. Not just tests but PPE and ventilators! Obama had store houses all over the country try which turned up empty! Afaik, this was never investigated and We had to fuggymoo two people to one vent. I wore disposable masks for a week and wore garbage bags. Donald Trump is a mass murderer and you will never convince me otherwise.

    But trump supporters are pro-Russia, Pro-Putin. They’re glad he did it.
    I guess this can get people to vote Harris who are already anti-trump, but might not be taking voting seriously. It can help get people to the polls
