Time To End The Shutdown?

[It will be fine]

Was there any need to do so?

It would appear that yes there was a need.

It would appear that yes there was a need.

If not for the pandemic? Is there a shelf life on PPE?

You guys allowed Obama the the option to blame bush for 8 years so in fairness to Trump you have not given him 8 years to fix all of Obama's mistakes.

It’s been Trump’s organization for 3 years. He owns it. If it was ill prepared it’s on him.

Day 1------perform an inventory of PPE stockpile.

Uh.......no.

What a week! On Sunday, donald propelled the #FireFauci movement. On Monday, he threatened to seize power from the states. On Tuesday, he unveiled a new advisory council with little to show for it. On Wednesday, he threatened to seize power from Congress. On Thursday, he kicked power back to the states. And Friday, he encouraged protesters to agitate for their states to open up — contrary to his own guidelines released a day earlier. On Saturday, he had what was probably his most unhinged briefing yet, and that's saying something.

Putting politics aside----do you really think that it crossed anyone's mind to replenish the stockpile?

Defending himself from any criticism at all.
The US has the most coronavirus deaths in the world,

Think percentage of population..it will help.

donald still hasn't figured out that the 1918 flu pandemic didn't happen in 1917.

Grandfather Trump died of the Spanish flu in 1918 at the age of 49..I'm sure he knows...He might even know what year it started

The guy is an ignorant fool who also happens to be mentally ill.

Still your president.

That’s like telling a baby not to in their diaper

The guy stays busy doesn't he?

You sure follow that ignorant fool who is mentally ill closely.
Can you tell me what he did this morning? I don't own a TV.

Not in this administration. The fact that the government had the forethought to create a stockpile would mean someone was in charge of maintaining it. That person works for Trump. He failed.

A senior economist for the White House Council of Economic Advisers, whose nomination to a post overseeing health insurance floundered in the wake of revelations of his financial ties to UnitedHealth Group, is now playing a key role overseeing a $30 billion recovery program being administered by UnitedHealth.
After the White House withdrew Parente’s nomination in the face of congressional concerns about his relationships with the healthcare industry -- and UnitedHealth in particular – and omissions about finances that Parente had made on his financial disclosure form, the president appointed him to his current post, which does not require confirmation.

That's nice.

its probably difficult for you to understand but every senior person in Washington DC has ties to something. Feinstien for instance has significant ties to various corporations through her husband.

feel free to come up with a fix its the reason we call DC the swamp

maybe one of the 500 people in congress could have forced the funding for replenshing our reserves. I'm not a big fan of trying to pinpoint blame for partisan purposes. Trump has done more in three years then any other president in history . He's not god though just a king

Virus infected zoo animals, who's to say it doesn't mutate and reinfect people. Prophylactics and building a strong immunity probably the best course of action. What the hell are the doctor's and medical community good for if the underlying problems are not addressed.

Crude oil selling for as low as $ -.19/barrel for lack of storage. Demand destruction is here, it needs to open.

Again if 20% of the general public still needs to hunker down, so be it.

Would you make the same weak excuses if we didn’t have a stockpile of ammunition needed for a war?
