After Considering $1 Billion Price Tag for Ventilators, White House Has Second Thoughts
A deal with General Motors and Ventec Life Systems to produce tens of thousands of the critical lifesaving devices seemed imminent. Then the announcement was pulled back.

WTF?
You are more of an example of that since you are praising a communist country like China and still trashing your own country . I mean that is precisely what is taught in the educational system these days .Quote:

Trump just praised them too!! He said he "loves" XiQuote:

As for your definition of Communist and praising it, this is where you show just how ignorant you are.
Freedom of speech is the first amendment. I would figure you didn't read all the way through that one
Education involves thought. Which you clearly lack. Like a sheep. (And we know what all them orange farmers do to sheep on lonely nights)
If you were able to actually think for yourself, you would see that I did in fact agree with China's system of government. I did not agree with anything they have done aside from handling the virus. They got it under control very, very quickly.
I did not trash my country. I trashed the lack of response and pitiful blame game being played by the one person who should get this done by any means needed.
We have more cases than China and we are on the rise. We have a president saying, things will be better in two weeks.
Your backwoods, ethnocentric, head in the sand, hypocritical and ignorant perspective on this thing is hysterical and sad. The concept that you would refuse to learn from a country which knew more than we do about this is a perfect example of xenophobic mindlessness.
How many stomachs do you have? Does your ridiculous regurgitation of refuse, hurt your throat? Must be hard to spit that info back out with other things jamming your throat.
The governor of Ma, pleaded with Trump to stop outbidding governors for the things they need.
His doing so, not only prevents them from getting needs equipment but also drives up the prices for all.
Trump told them to get it done on their own but then stands in the middle so they can't
Then says things like this regarding the governors who are asking for supplies,
“It’s a two-way street,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. “They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, ‘Oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.’”
So those who say the Dems shouldn't involve politics? How about the President holding back needed and life saving things to get political favors? Does that get in your craw the same way the extra pork was in the stimulus package?
No? Hmm. Why not?
LolQuote:

Now as for my opinion on what trump just said there , I wouldn’t have expected him to say any less . And again the fact that you believe the word of the same govt that lied and covered up everything about the virus just 2 months ago shows how you are in such lock step with the left media narrative that praises socialism and communism
Do you have orange stains around your lips and mouth?Quote:

You choose to believe him over the experts because the experts are from the left? Lol. Talk about stupidity.
I won't believe them or listen to them because they are liberal? That's genius. The idea that you find anything liberal to be un-patriotic shows your sheer lack of comprehension regarding, pretty much everything
You don’t understand how much power the state governors have either . Why didn’t any of them pressure their senators to do anything about this ? Why didn’t they do anything on the state level about this ? Why were governors like Cuomo spending billions on failed projects instead of using those same billions towards buying or making their own gears ? Why didn’t all those senators and congressmen draft bills addressing such issues?Quote:

We were promised and told 1m tests by March 6. It's now March 27. We are barely above 500K, less than .17% of the US population.
What a cherry picker you are Dr....Quote:

Really?
You are no different than CNN
You are basically using this forum to to try to sway votes for 2020 just like CNN does....
It’s comical at times and this is not a time to be comical or political and the Dems are ALL POLITICAL...
$25 million for the Kennedy Center said it all!
Hey genius, who’s the boss?Quote:

And the president is dropping g the ball as continues to mislead the public. He continues to use mafia style bargaining to force his agenda but I don’t see you commenting on that. And that displays the type of person you are. Selfish, self serving and ignorant. Just like the pres. No wonder you can’t see anything from another perspective. It would mean self evaluation.

You actually reinforce my point. Trillions of dollars in the bill and they are suddenly quibbling about a billion, ostensibly to benefit NYC.
