    A great read for those with a WAPO account. One of the few places to get the truth on MOST THINGS. Depends upon what you care about. Winning only, or do you care about ALL Americans ?

    500B shortfall throughout the country will be 2T by middle of next year. Every city will struggle and it will all be because we did not put a REAL PLAN in place to handle the Virus. We are letting it blow out. Open the country with total disregard of how many get sick. Going to be a travesty "AT BEST" a complete and total meltdown at worse. Somewhere in between is where it will end as TRUMP and his CRONIES Try to PRETEND it is no big deal.

    What plan do you propose?

    The Nancy Pelosi and her flying monkeys stuffing trillions of taxpayer dollars into pork barrels plan?

    Did you just try and claim the Post was a good source of info? Really?

    It’s a shrill biased POS rag.

    And perhaps the over reactionary shutdown of the economy pushed by the left (which the Post fully supported) has something to do with this? Talk about getting lost in your own argument...

    The BT plan. They apply it to everything.

    (Blame Trump) for the confused liberals :)

    Trump didn't build that. The cities built their own beds.

    You had a good point until you injected partisan politics.

    Yes, many cities and states have practiced poor financial stewardship for many years, just like the federal government. The unnecessary shut down seriously aggravated the situation.

    That the virus is engineered demands that humans are responsible for it being spread maliciously. Considering Tony's most accurate prediction in 2017 that this administration would experience a pandemic, it appears he had a sort of fore knowledge similar to those who bought short in United and American Airlines prior to 911.

    So, it's complicated.

    Aren't most of the mayors Democrats? Maybe it's time they changed their political party.

    I have an idea. Why not get WAPO's owner Bozo, to spend part of his Amazon money to better and rebuild the inner cities.

    What do you say? :oldman:

    I did read that the Democrats had one more trick up their sleeve to get rid of Trump if impeachment didn't work. One has to wonder.:oldman:

    1. Stop posting paywall sites.
    2. Did you use the WaPo as a source? :roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol::roflol:

    The following did not work:

    Access Hollywood tape
    Golden Shower bed in Moscow
    Stormy Daniels & Avenatti
    Paul Manafort trial
    General Flynn trial
    E. Jean Carrol rape in a department store claim
    Kids in cages built by Obama
    Roger Stone big show arrest
    Carter Page charges
    George Papadopolous charges
    Russia! Russia! Russia!
    Mueller Report nothing burger
    Ukrainegate
    Impeachment hearings
    Christmas Impeachment
    Impeachment trials
    Books by Omarosa, Bob Woodward, Michael Wolff, Donna Brazile, the Niece book

    Now the Bolton book is going to fail also, like all the rest, but there is more to come.

    Trump has become an obsession for the left. It's really amazing.

    It takes a profound level of gullibility to believe the government cares about you. Are they cutting back on government employees, pensions? Interesting to see you blame trump when neither him nor his cronies have a voice in California. In spite of our taxes being the highest, our roads are crumbling, schools rank with the lowest, the gap between the rich and poor is huge with few left in the middle, and we are the poverty capitol of the US.

    In spite of record spending on "health care" and pharm products, Americans are fatter and sicker than ever.

    Neither party gives a damn about you; its about power.
