Your Tax Dollars At Work -- For The Trump Campaign

This has to be nipped in the effing bud:

As the presidential election fast approaches, the Department of Health and Human Services is bidding out a more than $250 million contract to a communications firm as it seeks to “defeat despair and inspire hope” about the coronavirus pandemic, according to an internal HHS document obtained by POLITICO.

Several weeks ago, the department sent out to a number of communications firms a “performance work statement,” which lays out what work will be expected of the winning firm. The document says that the vast majority of the money will be spent from now until January.

The document also lists the goals of the contract: “defeat despair and inspire hope, sharing best practices for businesses to operate in the new normal and instill confidence to return to work and restart the economy,” build a “coalition of spokespeople” around the country, provide important public health, therapeutic and vaccine information as the country reopens, and give Americans information on the phases of reopening.

“By harnessing the power of traditional, digital and social media, the sports and entertainment industries, public health associations, and other creative partners to deliver important public health and economic information the administration can defeat despair, inspire hope and achieve national recovery,” the document also says.

We'll make it simple.  Here's how to "defeat despair, inspire hop and achieve national recovery," HHS:  elect Biden-Harris and defeat Republicans up and down the ballot. Two hundred fifty million dollars, please!

They're using our tax dollars to blow happy smoke up the electorate's asses, coincidentally just before an election whose main issue is the incompetent mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic by COVID Donnie.  What "therapeutic and vaccine information" will be provided -- how to inject bleach or the therapeutic effects of hydroxychloroquine?  What advice are they going to provide for businesses -- get your workers' lazy asses back to work; and don't worry, we're working to make it impossible for them to sue you if you get coronavirus?

Allowing this to go forward in our current environment with the current corrupt "leadership" would be a shocking lack of political balls.  They mustn't get away with it.
