Breaking: Trump to declare COVID-19 a Stafford Act national emergency

President Donald Trump plans to declare a national emergency on Friday over the coronavirus outbreak, invoking the Stafford Act to open the door to more federal aid for states and municipalities, according to two people familiar with the matter. …

An emergency declaration would allow a state to request a 75% federal cost-share for expenses that include emergency workers, medical tests, medical supplies, vaccinations, security for medical facilities, and more, according to a letter Democrats sent the president earlier this week.

Only a few emergency declarations for public health threats have been made since the 1960s, and only two have targeted disease outbreaks, when President Bill Clinton in 2000 declared emergencies in New York and New Jersey in response to the West Nile Virus.

If people wanted the big guns, they are about to get them. This will probably hurt the markets even more, so good idea to do it on a Friday and let the weekend act as a firebreak.

But what? I thought it was a hoax?

He doesn't get any kudos for this. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming into doing this. His response from the start has been very poor and colored by his desire to be re-elected. Even his travel ban did not affect countries where he owns resorts. He has made a bad situation even worse.

And yet we are far ahead of Europe, because of Trump and his willingness to even shut down the border *Leftists shake in fear*.

What's the over/under that he completely bleeps up is 3PM EST speech (as he did on Wednesday night) and that very tenuous positive that the Dow is in right now completely collapses? The fact that Democrats had to had to send Trump a letter even getting him to consider declaring this emergency (if he does) is telling. Maybe if he had done that on Wednesday night, the market collapse the next day wouldn't have happened..or been a lot less painful.

Only in the mind of TDS addled morons did he completely "bleeped up" his address Wednesday.

He could have said anything and people like you would have bitched about it.

Wrong. I didn't vote for Bush Jr and resented the Supreme Court when they installed him as President. But on the day of and in the immediate days after 9/11, I was grateful that this guy was President. We can argue all we want about the bad policies that he proposed or what monumentally bad decisions (Cheney) were made in the years after, but during that week, he was rock solid. Projected confidence and resolve when everybody was ready press the panic button. Never once during those two months after did I question that he belonged in that office.

The EXACT opposite of what I think of Trump. He had his moment on Wednesday night and he once and for all demonstrated he has no business sitting in that office.
Joe Biden has displayed more Presidential direction than Trump has. Deal with it. I understand that you will love him and support him no matter what he does or says. I have no idea why but I've accepted as much from most Trump supporters.

In speech, Biden shows how a normal president responds in crisis (opinion) - CNN

PS, I don't care if it's from CNN. It's the truth. Again, deal with it.

During those two months, because you were in shock. Once that was over you probably went right back to bashing his ass.

You start with Trump not being fit to be President, so anything he does just reinforces your viewpoint, because you are a simple fuck and don't have the imagination to be anything different.

Biden doesn't have any power or responsibility in this matter, nor does he have the full information about the situation, so he can say whatever he wants and not worry about being responsible for anything.

He. Never. Said. It. Was. A. Hoax.

He. Was. Talking. About. Democrat. Response. To. The. Situation.

Stop. Lying.

Again, it was widely panned by those who think like you and the MSM stooges you take the knee to on a daily basis.

False. I was panned by conservatives as well, and by everyone but the most die-hard Trump supporters.

While you go and have a good cry, the rest of us will continue the topic. But you really should reevaluate your embarrassing, cultish behavior.

You add nothing to the topic except "Fuh Fuh Fuh, Trump Sucks, Fuh Fuh Fuh", and stop pretending otherwise.

so anything he does just reinforces your viewpoint

Or, in this case, the things he didn't do. You know, because he said it was a hoax.

He never said that, stop lying.

So, how is the federal money going to be used? Our mentally ill child president , while regurgitating the terrible speech written by his little Nazi, forgot to mention anything about health and infrastructure concerns and plans. This is not surprising, as neither man possesses the basic human trait of empathy.

So, how will the money be used?

 

[QuickHitCurepon]

Did dey name a national heath act...

.... after the Stafford Bros.?

Jim Stafford had the snakes part right.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Leftists: He NEVER said it was a hoax and he halted travel from China before we knew the severity of this plague. Stop your stupid partisan lying. That means you Indiana and you Augustine.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

He. Was. Talking. About. Democrat. Response. To. The. Situation.

Oh yeah? Which part, exactly?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The corona virus isn't the emergency. Democrat induced hysteria is the emergency.

Trump has actively muzzled health officials and said the coronavirus is no big deal. In the conservative's MSM, there are people on multiple shows saying it's all a plot against Trump and not a threat at all.

The whole thing. He compared their complaining about what the Feds were doing vis a vis Corona with their delusions over Russian Collusion and other things.

 

[Norman]

The corona virus isn't the emergency. Democrat induced hysteria is the emergency.

Did the democrats also quarantine 50+ million people in China and millions in Italy to avert the death virus?

No, it wasn't the democrats. The democrats however, are cheering for the virus.

Please show me actual proof of him Muzzling people.

And is he supposed to tell everyone to panic and we are all going to die?

I will laugh so hard if coronavirus kills Trump. A photo of the headline will become my permanent avatar.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Pathetic lie.

The whole thing.

Non answer. I ask again.

Which part? Be specific. Complaining about the fed action? What? You're trying to change the subject.

Trump was referring the the entire response. He said the WHO was wrong based on a "hunch". He muzzled the experts in his administration. Stop licking his ass, you are embarrassing yourself.

They are passing bills and taking steps to stop it. Meanwhile, Moscow Mitch is on vacation and Trump is talking about bird flu from a million years ago.
