Basically, everyone else here who supports his policies and thus his presidency have done the same. That is not a criticism of any of his decisions, that's just recognizing his personality.

However, as much as I dislike some of the provisions in this legislation or even if Massie may be standing on what he promised his constituency, now is not the time to take that stand - that point has passed. As you well know, there are a lot of people out here that are hurting and concerned right now, and they want to see congress do something that looks and feels helpful right now. The bill sucks, and that's coming from someone who potentially gets the best part of the bill, the forgivable small business loan.. The people in charge of passing this bill should look at every line item request and ask/answer one question so simple that even a Tibs/AOC love child could answer it: Does this help Americans get through this economic schittshow? There's a bunch of stupid stuff in this bill and there is literally NO REASON for it to be in there. NONE.

Now we all know that was not literally what he meant. Being on the ventilator too long does not cause death. The media will give him a pass on this as well they should. Think of the uproar if Trump had said this. She is sounding more like Greta everyday. Agree with you. Ya in earlier post. I'm much more independent. Like you critical Trump some things. But he done more good than bad. As well Cuomo. Going to criticize him this one. Like you said. My hate now for Nancy pelosi and China government. Blaming everyone else.

He has a great opportunity to take a higher road than he usually does because more people are watching than ever before. Being openly critical like this from someone on his own party, who is just taking a stand he promised to take when elected, is a bad look. Especially when you have nutbags like AOC going fully unhinged as a backdrop to the adults in the room. I really dislike this part of Trump...at least as it relates to his own party. He can do this to crazies like Schumer and Pelosi all day. Unfortunately she represents everything the Democrats hate: a, calm, rational, well-spoken woman sharing common sense. Especially compared to this batschittcrazy loon. It's more fun to watch on mute, by the way. She's such a fascist wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, my biggest concern with this whole thing isn't the virus or even the economic devastation (although both are concerning). The concern that supersedes all (IMO) is the permanent damage that this will do to the psyche and attitudes of the American people. The socialists continue to push an agenda and false choice of perceived safety for more control, less transparency, and ultimately more power for them. At some point, and we may already be there, we will pass the tipping point where enough citizens have been raised on government schools, get their information from government media, and get life's necessities from government homes, government food, government retirement, government transportation, and the list goes on. Once we pass that tipping point, its game over for American liberties and freedom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it has to pass both the Senate and the House, compromises were always going to happen. Many people think "ok well, pigs got pork" while others are thinking pass a clean, usable bill that actually helps American small business as well as everyday citizens.

Seattle community members deserve the most up to date information during this crisis; this includes life saving medical information from our nation’s Surgeon General and top doctors.” “We, at SPOG, see COVID-19 as a public safety issue and are continuing to do all we can to serve you and protect lives in our community,” he added, echoing sentiment expressed by the White House on NPR’s decision. “It’s not surprising, but also a failure of their duty to the American people, that some media outlets would choose to block their audiences from receiving accurate, up-to-date information on President Trump’s whole-of-government approach to slowing the spread of COVID-19,” White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere told Daily Caller. “No other Administration has been as transparent and as accessible as this one, and we will continue to make sure this Nation hears from its leaders and top health experts during this global pandemic.” SPOG = Seattle Police Officers Guild 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Quote NEW ORLEANS — More than a million dancing, singing, bead-catching celebrants packed the streets of the French Quarter and other venues across this city in the weeks leading up to the sprawling open-air party that is Mardi Gras. There was little worry during the February festivities about the new virus that had infected a few dozen people in other parts of the country. The city's top health official believed the flu "is far more dangerous right now than the coronavirus," she told the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate newspaper. Thirteen days later, on March 9, Louisiana reported its first case of covid-19. Then came another, and another. Clusters broke out in several nursing homes. The cases popping up across the state were not easily linked to each other, meaning that a galloping community spread was already underway. A terrible realization began to dawn on residents and political leaders: The famous bonhomie of the world’s biggest free party may have helped supercharge one of the most rapid spreads of the coronavirus, which is now threatening to overwhelm Louisiana’s health-care system and potentially make the state one of the next epicenters. “We had people from all over the world. We also had the spread of this virus, and people did not realize it was spreading,” said Rebekah Gee, a former state health secretary now on the faculty of Louisiana State University’s medical school. “So people not only caught beads, but they caught covid-19.” As of Thursday, Louisiana had reported 2,305 cases and 83 deaths related to coronavirus — with about two-thirds of the cases and deaths in the New Orleans metro area. During the first two weeks of known infections, the virus was coursing through Louisiana at an extraordinarily rapid pace, according to an analysis by Gary Wagner, a professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. He found that the rate of growth in that period was the highest in the world. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/coronavirus-new-orleans-mardi-gras/2020/03/26/8c8e23c8-6fbb-11ea-b148-e4ce3fbd85b5_story.html 2 minutes ago, dubs said: Once again, you miss the point. do you think that it makes sense that, "National Public (read: government) Radio" - established by the federal government and funded in some part by federal tax dollars, would not air the President's National Addresses during what is clearly a national crisis?
