Pretty much a full on destruction of the economy. If it’s successful and he loses the election, perfect. If he wins re election BFD. He’s gone anyway and he can spend the next 4 years profiting from the office.

Here it is.

Trump administration blocks states from using Medicaid to respond to coronavirus crisis

WASHINGTON —

Despite mounting pleas from California and other states, the Trump administration isn’t allowing states to use Medicaid more freely to respond to the coronavirus crisis by expanding medical services.

In previous emergencies, including the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Hurricane Katrina and the H1N1 flu outbreak, both Republican and Democratic administrations loosened Medicaid rules to empower states to meet surging needs.

Pelosi gave a good statement at 2:00 pm. Sounded like a great bi-partisan Bill to help Americans. She refused a question asking if the White House supported it. Add that to the fact she’s coordinationing with Munchin and not Trump on this.......

At 3:00 Trump is gonna come out swinging. Declare emergency, blame Obama, bypass both chambers of Congress. If past experience is any indicator of how this admin handles an emergency in a short time with messaging and clarity, this is gonna be a shit show.

Remember. Three days ago the virus “didn’t stand a chance”

by **kingstonlake** 2020-03-13, 14:30

The virus will not have a chance against us. No nation is more prepared or more resilient than the United States.

This is gonna be an embarrassment. Press as no highlights like they usually get. People have been telling him to let Fauchi be the head man on this. But as we know Publicly Fauchi has said the government has failed and now Trump wants to be the spokesman. This gonna be ugly y’all.

There’s GOING to be a website. There’s GOING to be drive through testing centers. There’s GOING to be enough tests. That’s about all I got from that 2-hour rambling cock gobbling circle jerk.

To be on trump being the republican nominee, you would have to risk $1600 to win $100. A week ago, you would've had to risk $10,000. Aka the betting market is getting much less confident

Let me help you. He bought 19 million shares of Kroger stock. Imagine the luck in buying Kroger stock.

I didn’t say anything about his luck in buying “stocks”. Stocks is the plural of stock. Stock is singular. Stocks is plural. Hope this helps.

Anxiously awaits an irrelevant post about something not related to his purchase of Kroger stock....

What was the Political Side (as noted in the thread title) of his purchase as it relates to his "luck"?

I wondered why Speaker Pelosi was negotiating with Treasury Sec Mnuchin via phone to hammer out details of the Emergency Spending bill.

Then my wife reminded me that Trump has been glad handing with people who tested positive at his Mar-a-Logo fund raiser, with the Brazilian(s) who tested positive and with people who came into contact with a CPAC attendee. Mnuchin has been in close contact with Trump.

It’s a mess, yet the President’s physician says there’s no reason for Trump to be tested.

Go figure.

White House starts temperature checks for people around Trump

The White House on Saturday began checking the temperatures of anyone in close contact with President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.

White House staff met reporters at the door of the press briefing room with a thermometer, checking the temperatures of everyone coming in for a noon conference called by Pence.

A man who appeared to be a journalist was blocked from entering because his temperature was deemed too high.

Trump says he took coronavirus test In a White House press briefing, Trump said: “I also took the test last night. And I decided I should based on the press conference yesterday. People were asking, 'did I take the test?'"

Asked when test results would be returned, he said: "A day, two days. They send it to a lab."

I don't have a clue, Roc, but it's a good question. Also, how long are they covered by their employers compared to what this bill is supposed to provide?
