President Trump announced that he is activating the National Guard in California, New York and Washington state in an effort to combat the coronavirus outbreak during a briefing at the White House Sunday evening.
Activated, to stay at Trump properties…
Dow futures down another 900 points.
Also, OT but Harvey Weinstein tested positive. So yes, karma is a real thing.
Little late but I’ll take it.
And yet…he is still piece-mealing approving emergency status/funding for WA. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/president-trump-approves-washington-emergency-declaration-freeing-federal-funding/
“national stocks pile”?
The fuck? I thought that ‘pile’ had just been decimated by his dawdling inaction to vanquish the ‘Hidden Chinese Hoax’.
I expect Fox News to start blaming the Democrats for not passing the bill any moment now. Which had to be the plan all along. MoscowMitch is evil but not completely stupid. He had to know there was no way they were getting 60 votes, much less getting it through the House.
On the other hand the bill so obviously fucked over average Americans, I’m not sure why they think the blame game will work either.
The persistnet use of “strongly” is a real fetish with the shitgibbon. He may think it makes him seem strong, but all it does for me is hint that English is not his native language. Maybe it’s idiomatic in Old Bulgarian or something.
I am not sure that I understand what this means.
“carry out approved missions to stop the virus while those governors remain in command.”
How about the DPA and the Medicaid waiver…for the hundredth time?? That’s where the rubber meets the road.
Exactly what is the National Guard suppose to do? Are they impervious to the virus?
Big Question:
Will the members of the National Guard be tested before they are let loose in these communities?
“Romney’s in isolation?” Trump said. “Gee, that’s too bad.”
What a fucking despicable mountain of lies, insecurities, and feces this man is.
They’re here to nuke the virus.
Exactly, this is not leadership. It is trying to put a band aid on a severed artery.
Great, they gonna launch it from Bangor?
karma is a real thing.
Karma usually affects one’s rebirth, the idea Weinstein was a sex offender and so he got sick is sort of a Lamarckian version of the idea.
If he’s going to activate the National Guard, at least he left them under state control while the Feds pay the bill. The correct approach according to this article. Now, we just need unity of command.
I don’t think those 3 governors would allow it any other way.
Thread. Doesn’t make Rand Paul look any better.
Can the national guard build masks or ventilators? Asking for a friendly governor.
