Define “interesting”. 🤔News conference with Trump at 6 PM tonight (2/26) on this subject. Should be interesting. Stay tuned.
I’m not expecting to learn anything new, so I won’t be watching (don’t watch 99.9% of TV anyway), but it is probably the right move.
COVID-19 should at least make it obvious what the potentially catastrophic risks from biological warfare might be, the potential for astronomical economic consequences, how easy it would be to propagate a biological weapon, and how long it might take before an effective response is found.
Maybe he’ll explain the justification for the 18.6% cut in funding for the CDC.Alea jacta est! -

Very polite on the part of the VW driver to stop so that the black van can slowly block his path. One must assume that in a real life scenario, the van driver might be a teensy bit more agressive... 🤔Alea jacta est!

Whatever. This is why we don't talk about politics on this board.
If you want to enlighten everyone here on your infinite wisdom and read Trumps' mind, please blow your hot air out and get it off your chest.

It’s not infinite wisdom. It is simple mathematics. Can you say Deficit? It has almost doubled in the past three years.
Fiscal conservatives know this to be true.Alea jacta est! -

Neither side is any good, and nobody reads the Constitution, that they swore to uphold and defend anyway.
Bottom line is what's the point of arguing over something none of us can do anything about anyway...The Gear...

It’s frustrating. Shortsighted and self-inflicted. JMO. 😉Alea jacta est!

Okay, I admit. I may have mis-interpreted what it is you were trying to say. I thought that you knew what Trump was thinking when he cut the budget. No one does but him.
Debt/Deficit? Same thing in my book. Both extremely bad right now. My apologies for the snappy commentary. Have a good evening.

President Trump.....we've got this.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Well, that was a non-event. Maybe I missed something, but it seemed everyone was just patting each other on the back.

So what did you expect him to say? He said what any President would say, we got this under control.
Oh I guess he should have said, it's time to panic and go clean out the food at your local grocery store.Yamaha RX-A2070, Musical Fidelity M6si integrated amp, Benchmark Dac1, Bluesound NODE 2i, Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport, Parasound Zphono USB Phono Preamp, Fluance RT85, Ortofon 2M Bronze, Polk L600's, L400, L900's, RC80i's, SVS 3000 Micro, Audioquest Interconnects and Digital Cables, Nordost Silver Shadow Digital Cable, Cullen Gold and Crossover Series Power Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 12AWG OCC Speaker Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha Analog Interconnect Cables, Douglas Connection Alpha 11 OCC Custom Power Cable, Signal Power Cable, Furman PL-8C 15 Power Conditioner, Sony 65" 900F, Sony UBP-X700, Fios, Apple TV 4K, Audioquest Chocolate HDMI Cables. -

Personally I would have preferred a bit more honesty. For example, saying that while the current outbreak in the US is minor at some point it will get much worse. The point is to be prepared. For example, I have about three weeks of food and beer, and tomorrow I will get another two weeks. The problem I have is my freezer is almost full.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

If one listened to the press conference, they told you where to go to find out about preparedness. Keep in mind....water, gas and electrical operations are a granted. If people are quarantined, how do you expect the workers there to provide their service?
They may not be able too. You doomsday people need to prepare for this and worse.
The fact is, around 50-70 or so people in America have supposedly contracted the virus. We probably have an estimated 350 million people (legally and illegally) residing in the US.
If one does the math, I am quite sure that it is such a dismally small percentage of the population, it won't even register on the scale yet. There is no need for a doomsday scenario. There was really no need for the news conference, other than to show the American people that we've got this.
Numbers don't lie.
Mainstream media does. They want this to be Trump's "Katrina" and our "representatives" are already asking for money (no surprise there). Hell, San Fransisco even called a state of emergency. Give me a F'n break. Hadn't even happened and it may not ever but they are already asking for money. Stupidity at its finest.

Is the 2.5B set aside as just in case money, or will it get appropriated to use as he sees fit if we don't need it? i.e. a certain wall along the Rio Grande?
