Spence is complaining that during a pandemic, the american president is trying to get an american company to sell lifesaving medical gear, to american hospital workers. Spence is upset that the executive branch is trying to intervene to get safety gear to american doctors and nurses.

the head of Florida’s office of emergency management was on tv last night, he’s desperately trying to acquire masks for hospital workers in FL. He has had deals
with 3m fall
through because the masks get sold at the last minute to foreign countries.

Spence doesn’t think Trump should try to help Florida’s head of emergency management. If Obama did the same
thing, spence would get weak in the knees with adulation.

Pete, did you even listen, nevermind understand, Mnuchin yesterday in the late afternoon/evening press conference???? He at least spoke with f direction, cooperation of the agencies involved, and firm understanding of the limitations of the Treasury Office....

Right now, I could give a rats azz about the election or who did what too late and when. I am concerned about solutions. And if you are not onboard as part of the solution, you are part of the problem...

So do you think sea Dangles is part of the solution? Why ignore the lies of Trump which helped get us in the situation we are in now?

Chris has time on his hands until that boat arrives... He definitely leans to the right, but this is more a source of entertainment for him, trust me.

As for your second question, Paul... after thinking I had answered you in full; there is no excuse for the lies. I have made it clear that it infuriates me. His is a nationalist program, which this pandemic has proven, is more along the lines we should be pursuing, IMO. Bring the manufacturing back onshore. Made in the USA should be important again. BUT,,,, if you want to impeach someone, you better have the goods. Russia, collusion, Joe Biden and his son? All that took his attention away from where it should have been, IMO. Lost opportunity to lead a country as opposed to playing defense all the time. Lord, he is difficult to defend, but we need to move FORWARD>…….

His words, his style, are just about impossible to defend. And sometimes he fails (building a wall, dismal early testing for the virus) and he deserves to be criticized. And sometimes he does well(the economy), and he deserves praise. It's too bad he can't control his narcissism.

Agreed. I was fortunate in my early professional life to work for a manager who surrounded himself with the best talent he could find, knowing their talent would be what made him be considered the best in the city/region. Similar to Reagan. There was no chest beating. Unfortunately that is not the style of doing business in the NYC area, and that is where he cut his teeth..

And to be clear, I am all about doing what is right. The Republican Senators that sold stock etc on early Corona knowledge? Hold them accountable and punish them to the fullest extent of the law. And the same with any and all who get in the middle to mark up, redirect, bid up or in any way delay getting supplies to where they are needed, in order to line their own pockets. Hang them high. There should be no party nor favoritism when it comes to a national emergency such as this...

If the coronavirus had been a witness in his impeachment trial, maybe Trump* would have done more to stop it.

He totally ignore the virus and his trying to use the impeachment is an excuse. They floated that as an excuse until people started asking why the admin. couldn't work on 2x at once and it died a quick death. He constantly downplayed the virus and constantly lied. I just saw that the admin. est of potential deaths (100K - 200K) seems to be made up and no one knows where that came from. It will be the admin. line and if deaths come in less than that, the admin. will say they did a great job. You can't move forward when the person who has the biggest megaphone is a lying, petty, unprepared person.

We are lucky we have Charlie Baker leading our efforts in this state, very impressive the steps he is taking to get out in front of this.

Each day that we continue without a unified national solution makes the final cost in lives and dollars greater.
Trump*s schizophrenic approach to management of this is not working.
Everybody needs to be able to plan their response and count on others to do what they say they will.
There is a limited supply of stuff in the world.
We need to be on top of it.
Saying states need to look out for themselves is antithetical to what America stands for.
The change in the national strategic stockpile website after Jared's odd statement is unacceptable.

I have heard that Massachusetts only received 17% of aid requested and Maine 5%, while Florida will receive its 3rd shipment of 100% of aid requested. The group Citizen's for Ethics is investigating if the Strategic National Stockpile is distributing aid based on Trump’s personal preferences.

He wouldn't do that would he?

He'll probably have another show tonight, just which episode of Survivor, States edition is this?

so the guy from FL is
lying? the ceo of 3M started his response by denying price gouging, but that wasn’t the accusation. the accusation was denying safety gear to americans.

again, you have no issue with that.

i didn’t read anything in fox. i listened to what the Florida manager of the office of emergency management said. maybe you could try that. maybe that would be almost as informative as you rubbing one out to pictures of obama
