    Uhm fuck you.

    My money. My choice. And there isn't a damned thing you can do about it.

    At this point we can all only conclude that you have an intellectual disability. Good luck, it's possible to live a fulfilling and good life even with a disability like yours, I'd just recommend you be less antagonistic and we'll all do our best to treat you with dignity and respect.

    Show us on the doll.

    Don't want your dignity or respect. Don't want to participate in representative democracy with you. What I want cannot be expressed in this forum. Use your imagination.

    Thanks for pointing that out. Makes a lot more sense now, if he'd decided he can't use google or pretty much any other modern source of information, then I guess it is pretty hard for him to know basic facts like if a company is independently traded on the NYSE or not and he just has to go with whatever fever dream comes to him. Still confused about his reference to "Show us on the doll" though, is that in reference to something he does with dolls or .....?

    If you actually are one of the many intelligent, well meaning conservatives out there you've gotta be shaking your head at these nut jobs coming out of the woodwork claiming to be one of you. Can't help the cause much.

    There are no conservatives anymore, just bunch of reactionaries who want to 'own the libs'. There is nothing but conspiracies and victimhood coming from these dolts because they keep losing the inherited privilege they were used to.

    I'd call folks like @bone, to pick one example of someone here, an intelligent, well meaning conservative. That's distinct from the Republican Party, which if it has any of those left certainly doesn't have many in leadership positions (maybe Mitt Romney?)

    By the time these ventilators arrive the virus would probably be long gone.

    Trump wasted half a billion on 10,000 ventilators that won’t arrive until September 2022

    A new report from the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform found that the Trump Administration repeatedly delayed an Obama-era order from the health-technology company Philips for 10,000 ventilators, wasting half-a-billion dollars for machines that won’t even arrive until September 2022.

    According to the report, in 2014, the Obama Administration signed a contract with Philips to add 10,000 ventilators to the nation’s stockpile by June 2019. Though Philips delayed the fulfillment until November 2019, had they been held to that deadline, the nation would have had plenty of ventilators for when the coronavirus epidemic started in March 2020.

    However, the Trump Administration granted Philips three extensions.

    “On January 21, 2020, when the first coronavirus case was reported in the United States,” the report states, “Philips approached the Trump Administration about accelerating the delivery of ventilators under its existing contract. The Trump Administration ignored this opportunity, and for six weeks, it did not respond to Philips’ offer.”

    When Peter Navarro — Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy — and other senior officials in the White House negotiated a new contract with Philips, they ended up scrapping the Obama-era terms and agreed to pay almost five-times the price set under those terms.

    While Philips had sold ventilators to other purchasers for prices as low as $9,327 per unit, the Trump Administration ended up paying $50,000 per unit.

    “The documents show that the Administration accepted Philips’ first offer without even trying to negotiate a lower price,” the report reads.

    The ventilators may arrive after a vaccine for the illness does. In the meanwhile, the U.S. has surpassed over 156,000 coronavirus deaths.

    This revelation comes just a day after Vanity Fair revealed that the Trump White House scrapped a national testing plan for the epidemic, thinking that coronavirus would mostly kill of blue states voters and the administration could then blame Democratic governors for it.

    Trump always tells that he is the best President ever from the US and probably from the whole world. He did a lot of things that no other President ever did before.
    He can add this one on his list of "achievements" too.

    How much of the 40K per ventilator that was added in the new contract will end up in his pocket?

    It is also criminal how he plays with innocent lifes of Americans just for political reasons. Trump should be brought to court for a crime against humanity. This one he can add on his list of "achievements" too. He can make America great, but he surely made the population smaller.

    I cannot understand how Americans can still vote for that monster.
