“grasping for straws”
Yes, and we know what Larry “Nostrils” Kudlow is going to use the straws for.

Shouldn’t a “trade adviser” be talking about, oh, I don’t know, trade?

On the financial side of the faux proposal:
The U.S. budget deficit widened to a record-high $864 billion last month because of the federal government’s extraordinary response to the coronavirus pandemic, and pushed the budget deficit for the first nine months of the fiscal year to $2.7 trillion.
So let’s cut taxes while we spend more money we don’t have.

There is a pretty good bet, he won’t be the last. Florida and Texas will have to do the same thing to get their epidemics back under control, if that is even possible. This is just an unmitigated disaster. Abbott has probably figured this out, but there is no hope of DeSantis growing a brain stem in them to act. YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID !!

About this Fucking Civil War business…
That has been on everyone’s mind, particularly in the George Floyd Era (and I do NOT mind with laying that mantle on Mr. Floyd. This IS his Era).
Welp, maybe–in spite of the worst epidemic is Modern World History–it may come to pass that there are enough racists to get that going. It was enough to get Trump out of Out-Patient Care and into the White House.
But now I am thinking that the real Civil War will not be fought along the lines of “race” (at least not directly).
The Real Civil War will be those vultures and sadists who wish–to further Donald Trump’s re-election–to sacrifice the lives of children, their teachers and school staff, and parents/relatives AGAINST those individuals who would like to protect themselves from COVID.

Ah yes, extra money for those craven enough to risk lives, including those of children, by reopening schools during the height of a pandemic claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and disabling many more… In other words, more money for Betsy DeVos and family.

I will bet any amount of money that if $X is allocated to Florida in some school reopening package then an equivalent sum will be removed from the education budget and used to plug other holes in the state budget to help DeSantis’ friends. Net $0 to schools.
Because these fucks are evil, that’s why.

Oh great, the administration is considering the bare minimum that the situation calls for. Perhaps they’ll spend an hour on trying to come up with a plan for its use beyond throwing the money in the wind for the nearest grifters to make use of.

It’s just a palinesque gibber-retcon in the moment. He doesn’t believe in anything but himself.

er, we’re not at the height yet. Only one of fifty states has had a death surge big enough to scare everyone straight. 49 to go, though I’ll give alaska and hawaii partial credit.

I hate to point out the obvious, but that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s trading the lives of this nation’s children for his bull(shit)ish economy. That’s his job, and t rumpp has tremendous confidence in his abilities to generate bigly returns in the stock market.

Mass shootings are now an unfortunate fact of life in out nation’s schools. We’ve accepted active shooter training as a necessary drill to enable our schools to remain open. With this virus, the only difference is that the virus is invisible, and can also be transported back home, and to the neighbors, and to wherever else family life leads, with potentially far worse results for everyone involved. If only we could give the children their own guns to enable them to protect themselves from the virus.

But on a positive note, we haven’t had a mass school shooting since March.
