Trump Wants $850 Billion in Stimulus with an Airlines Bailout

They should have voted for the meth addict who loves gay hookers. Surely he would have solved their problems.

Could there be a swampier state than Florida?

Florida turns back to blue in November.

First candidate to lose in two home states consecutively?

I’m surprised his face isn’t on our currencies by now.

Trump effectively ousts the top watchdog for the $2 trillion in virus relief.

President Trump moved on Tuesday to oust the leader of a new panel of watchdogs charged with overseeing how his administration spends trillions of taxpayer dollars in coronavirus pandemic relief. It was the latest step in an unfolding White House power play over semi-independent inspectors general across the government.

The official, Glenn A. Fine, has been the acting inspector general for the Defense Department since before Mr. Trump took office. Last week, an umbrella group of inspectors general across the executive branch named him the chairman of a new Pandemic Response Accountability Committee with control of an $80 million budget to police how the government carries out the $2 trillion relief bill.

But Mr. Trump has now abruptly named a different federal official — Sean O’Donnell, the Environmental Protection Agency’s inspector general — to be the acting inspector general for the Defense Department. The move effectively removed Mr. Fine — a former Justice Department inspector general with a reputation for aggression and independence — from his role overseeing pandemic spending.

Adam Carolla used to have a great bit where they would read some bizarre story and you had to guess if it was Florida or Germany. So I don't think it's just the politics that are backward. KGF excluded.

who has authority to make these decisions?

Dear Leader doesn't need oversight.

I don't think it's necessarily the politics either. I think it's in the water down there. Lots of corruption and bad dealings.

Why hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans haven't moved to FL yet is beyond me. That move, alone, would guarantee that presidents like the current one would be prevented for decades. See, this mess IS the fault of the Puerto Ricans!

I can almost guarantee someone will post asking why a Puerto Rico citizen should be allowed to immigrate to the US.

Or how in the world an Hawaiian islander could be elected POTUS.

Correct, but it shows who is fraudulent when claiming to want less government, less spending, etc.

I assume your awful spelling is a bit, but I don't understand it.

OK justthefacts, I’ll come clean.

Sadly, I am dyslexic. I attended classes at the University of Roade Island, in second grade, to learn how to read. I was a case study there when dyslexia when it was first looked into as a disability. When we moved to Gainesville Florida, I also attended the same types of classes at the University of Florida as a case study. I was able to learn how to decode the written word to read. I still I have problems visualizing sight words in my head and still have a very bad spelling problem. I usually use my computer, write on the Word Program and spell check. I have not been doing that lately on your open forum. I will from now on. Unless I had a few beers late at night!

I would like a President and Congress to come up with balanced budgets, but the pandemic has upset any chance of that at this time. I do hope the extra money allotted to the pandemic goes to the right people this time.

Thank you, but I should do it out of respect for the readers of this board and myself. I should use spell check which I am not doing now. ITS BEER TIME!

Is Trump doing anything at all to get the second round deal done? Has he made a single public statement about it? Did he not brag about his deal-making skills?
