Sad ending for a guy who accounted for 100 daily postings on McHale's Facebook page. Au revoir, Hector, au revoir.

Hector was a Republican (on Earth).

For weeks now, people have been begging Trump to use the Defense Production Act to force companies to produce much needed medical supplies. So far the only time Trump has used it has been to order General Motors to make ventilators. And the only reason why he did that seems to be more about the argument he was having with the GM CEO. Trump keeps letting his petty, personal issues interfere with the national well being.

Trump has been leaving it up to the states to handle their own needs. But the big problem with that approach is that the Governor of New York can not order a business in Michigan to produce medical supplies. And even if the business was located in their own state, a governor still could not order that business to produce medical supplies because they simply do not have that power. The *only* person in the entire country who has that authority is the President. And he refuses to use it.

When asked why he has not invoked the DPA more, Trump has said he doesn't want the government to get involved with business and turn the U.S. into Venezuela. Again Trump is letting decisions be made for him by right-wing idealogues. During WWII, turning America's factories into wartime production was one of great patriotic success stories of the war. And at no time did it threaten to transform America into some socialist hellhole.

Trump has declared himself a "wartime President." For Trump, that means he wants to be seen as the next Lincoln or FDR. To be viewed as a valiant leader, who, through their determination and vision, leads the country through a terrible crisis and into triumph. But Trump wants it the same way he has wanted everything in his life - to have others do the dirty work and he just jumps in and takes all the credit. Trumps wants all the prestige with none of the responsibility.

Get over the hatred of Trump. The constant whining and complaining gets old after awhile and it's annoying as shit. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is getting worse.

Donald Trump’s epiphany/admission that the coronavirus is going to kill (at least) tens of thousands of Americans, and that stay-at-home policies need to continue throughout April, has convinced a number of pundits that he is now treating the pandemic with grave seriousness. Unfortunately, this is not true. What is happening is that Trump is acting like he is treating the pandemic with grave seriousness.

This is better than the alternative, because it means (for the time being, at least) that red-state governors will feel they have leeway to order lockdowns and that public-health experts Deborah Birx and Anthony Fauci will get to give good advice to U.S. residents from the White House lectern without being immediately contradicted by the boss. But, as a spin around the news emphasizes, it does not mean that Trump or anyone else in the White House is actually administering a federal response to the crisis.

Anonymous. So much hatred, I hope you find love.
Hector was more than a Republican (on earth), but a father, brother, uncle, and friend to all. Always willing to give a helping hand.
He might have commented (sometimes too much) but it showed his passion. He never hid behind an anonymous comment, but was true to who he was and what he believed in.. down to his last breath.

Put respect on his name. If you think you know a person solely through the Internet, it reflects more on you than him. And don’t associate this time of grief to his political opinions. Do better.
