You shouldn't come over the top rope if you don't have some smack to lay down.

Explain to me how an actual National Emergency frees up $50 billion or so, but we can 'inject' $1.5 Trillion in a whim to the financial sector?

(sorry, this post isn't about loving or hating trump)

A mighty people that the United States fought a war for to liberate. We are still there by the way keeping them that way.... don't forget that.

The countries that lived through the SARS pandemic were clearly more prepared this time.

Check Katie Porter absolutely destroying a repug yesterday in Congress precisely about his power to make the decision to provide free testing

Professor Porter schooled this repug not to fuck with her

she gave him and his staff both her questions and the answers and the asshole came unprepared to answer any of them

there is nothing trump could have said that would generate a different response from you

but good to know they're going to have drive through testing, and the suspension of interest on student loan payments is nice, but falls far short of paid sick leave. a lot of the people hurting from staying home aren't struggling because of student loans..

i'm watching live as we speak.

im glad we finally have a test. student loan interest suspension is good gesture, but as i describe above, falls far short of what is actually needed

the speech itself? what's to discuss, that he treated it as a borderline campaign event? complaining about obamacare.gov, complaining about democrats in the house, having a parade of CEO's take turns giving him hand jobs on stage, lying about how tremendous their response timing was with respect to the disease...

funny how he was shaking hands with a ton of them, touching the podium and mic and other people with the same hand, etc., all after repeatedly telling everyone to have better hygiene

Reporter: “what is the date of the testing being available? Can you guarantee the date that every person canbe tested?

Biggest Liar on the Planet: “pretty quickly”


lol

people keep harping on the cruise ship. No one cares about the cruise ship.

he's a person and we literally all slip up regardless. yall act like the dude is a programmed robot who should have all the right answers no matter what.

the funny thing is the fact that i've been told forever, by exclusively libs, that presidents don't mean much and they're just there as a face but when trump got in to office the tune changed to he's a dictator and will control us all. smh

i care less about those gaffes. care more about a guy who has slashed CDC funding and disbanded the pandemic response team to pay for tax cuts for the rich. care more about a guy who wasn't taking this virus seriously until just recently, having called it a hoax, pretending it's just going to go away, claiming that in a matter of days it will be down to 5 or less cases (with no basis in fact), and delayed what should have been a much quicker response

Emergency = tax dollars.

Fed liquidity = private money from the Federal reserve into liquidity (inter-bank lending) markets, although technically they putting up fiat money if memory serves. pledging assets on the books. Will spend some time looking at the mechanics now that I try and explain it, I realize my understanding is not as solid as I usually prefer.

Markets seemed to like it. Administration finally doing something decisive other than lying about everything. +10%. Almost certain to plummet as bad news trickles in over the weekend, IMO.

We have a test... but not enough capacity. They are trying to lie about that bit, of course. Won't be able to hide it for too long. If the numbers of performed tests don't skyrocket in a week, they will have failed spectacularly, and it will get very very bad.
