Woman looks/sounds like a wackjob. Probably swimming in rubles.

If he actually did this, it would have come out a long time ago.

She has zero credibility to me.

I think GM sold that plant in November. Maybe the Fuyao guy will start making ventilators!

Biden is in a demographic where things don't go well if you get the virus. Don't mean to be morbid but Bernie is one sickness away from the nomination so it probably makes sense to him and his advisors to hang around.

My understanding of the Defense Production Act is it would pretty much allow Trump (or maybe states, or both?) to simply order companies to make ventilators for a price determined by the government. In other words, the exact opposite of Republican dogma for the last few decades.

It's a hard pill for them to swallow, but I don't know why they haven't realized that like deficits, etc., they can just shrug it off in the future like it never happened.

What are you talking about? He's been doing stuff almost every day. The media just aren't covering it because they show virus stuff instead. In 2016, Clinton couldn't get any airtime compared to Trump and it's happening again, though for obviously different reasons.

and Bernie is in what demographic? the whole election is competition between people who are as likely to die in office as they are to die of COVID before the nomination process completes. I am sure hat there are odds on this since sports betting is dead.

The DPA is going to be sign momentarily. No Democrats will be invited to the signing ceremony. And by God lordsville Ohio will be making ventilators tomorrow because der leader insists the GM turn that corner immediately.

Only Republicans could possibly get this done apparently is the White House messaging

Historic $2 trillion BIPARTISAN stimulus bill and the signing is a GOP-only event. Bringing the country together!

What a fucking child.

Though with the positive tests popping up throughout Congress, last thing you'd want to do is not socially distance with that crew behind Mr. Trump when he signs the bill
