The current logic is "It's not perfect, but at least it's not (fill in the blank)." It's not difficult at all to pull the stupid $11B marked for the ADF, IDA, etc. And it's embarrassing anyone would even consider it worth putting in there in the first place. This isn't difficult. But we're just supposed to accept it because it's better than nothing. It sucked when Obama did it and it sucks when Trump and the GOP do it. You are correct on all counts. The problem is that the Republicans in the Senate should have taken this stand when they had the chance. I was all in favor of holding this thing up to do just that and I believe they would have had the majority of the support of the American people in doing so. I believe it is too late now.

He didn't say it was a plan (until well after his initial tweet was circulated widely)-- he said it was already happening when it was not. BIG difference. He's a fear-monger with an agenda. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not certain who is to blame here... the House for asking for the moon to make settling seem like a "win"? The Senate for not stripping the pork and getting together a better bill to begin with? 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. And still others think "Well, at least it is not the House bill!" ---- which could have been the point of the House bill all along? ?♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedge Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Quote “In light of the recent decisions made by a public news affiliate, SPOG will be live streaming all the White House’s press COVID-19 briefings on our social media channels,” SPOG president Mike Solan said in a statement. “This is not a time to play partisan politics. 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? If it's on a million channels, happens every day and isn't very helpful anyway, who cares. The President himself said this was up to the local communities, he's only there to back up their efforts. So listen to the Governor instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
