Of course they knew what was coming after seeing what was going on. We all look at hindsight and shake our heads and point our fingers. Most people think because we live in a free World that we do not have to listen to the authorities. I owned a business for 20 years and if I was told to shut down, I wouldn't listen. I would have never made it if my doors were closed. I have been lurking on PSD for the past 10 years and just recently joined the team. I am a die hard Yankee fan who grew up in Montana moved to Nevada and currently working in Iraq. I have been in the Middle East for the past 10 years so if I am lucky I catch maybe 1 or 2 games a year on TV and if I schedule my vacation right I can catch a game in Oakland

1 or 2 games a year? ****, that's basically an entire season compared to Jorge.

Should they try to punch it in with the full back or try a HB toss?

I was in Thailand when the Coronavirus was breaking out. There was a lot of people getting sick but no one was panicking as it is common for the Asian people to have fevers several times a year. I think it has something to do with weather. I was kind of in a panic mode as the rumors going around at that time were the flights were going to be canceled, and if I did make the flight the country of Iraq was not going to let me in (kind of strange to be worried about that). I made it all the way and had no issues. I flew in to Northern Iraq where it isn't as bad as Baghdad. Iraq has a lot of cases of the virus and most of it is coming across the border from Iran.

Haha..yes, I have been all over Afghanistan, Kuwait and now Iraq and until now the Internet service has been bad. I purchased the MLB package the day before they delayed the season. I was very jacked for this season to start. I would follow the box scores and watch play by play action on yahoo but that was frustrating.

You deleted my e-mail, so there is no sense posting truth on this board, when you are allowed to disparage our President for your own personal narrative. It is a disgrace. Good luck talking to yourself.

The death rate in NY is less than 1%. But watching some liberal news programs they constantly show Italy and Spain as normal death rates.

Look I know this virus is deadly but for 99% of the people who get it they will be around for New Years Day celebrations.

I'm sure you realize and understand that's how political negotiating works. I don't think you can call environmental and election protection pork! I don't think you can question the D's focus on families and kids. D's want to ensure that any bailout for large companies will primarily benefit workers.

You didn't answer my question. If Obama had proposed a $500B slush fund, with NO oversight, intended as a big business bailout, would the R's approve?

The funny thing, your Dem Friends had no issue with the so called slush fund. Then at the last minute they put in their non Corovirus bullspit.

I am not saying they shouldn't keep their piles but they need to give some back from the world from which they took it and the people who helped them create it.

But those big business would certainly cut back their workforce if they don’t have capital to help pay for their salaries. They would lose their jobs Clown.

Trump said no golden parachutes or stock buy backs.

Mc Turtle even said that as well. The Dems WERE FLAT OUT WRONG including those in their wish list into a bill that is just for Corovirus.

And Big Business is not affected by Corovirus?

Some of you think eliminating big business would solve the world issues..

I get tired of the same old card of we gotta take care of the weak and feeble. Some on here act like they would be ignored.

It also directs billions of dollars in grant funding for states to carry out this year's election through the Election Assistance Commission.

Some elements of this proposal already exist in the bill that the Senate is negotiating.



Frankly I don't know what the D's strategy is, what I do know they are trying to protect workers and families. They clearly object to the R's attempt to push thru a bill that gives carte blanche to a $500B slush fund with NO oversight. Can you imagine?

Yea Dr, can you imagine all of the DEMs ideological BS that has nothing to do with Coronvirus?

You say nothing about that crap?

Why?

Your defense is a joke.
