    That doesn't mean he stopped it by 90%. It means most everyone came back from China before he instituted the ban

    What are the normal numbers? What do you mean by "most everyone came back from China"? That just sounds completely off the reservation.

    There was very little time between he announced the travel ban and when it was enacted. Like 2 days. They didn't all come in during that time.

    These travel bans aren't total bans. They catch the majority of people immigrating, but don't stop them all.

    Who'd have ever thought our lives would depend so heavily on these women?

    Hey, have you burned down the cell towers around your house yet? You might want to look into it. Hearing bad things about those towers.

    Wow.

    Proof positive how disastrous and massively fatal Pelosi's week of stalling and blocking aid truly was.

    She and her party are now America's all-time most prolific mass murderers.

    Remember the dead.

    Remember their killers.

    TRUMP 2020!

    What a terrible implication...wanna show the same graph of how many Trump "murdered" because of his failure to act when he could/should have?

    Nah, didn't think so.

    Not that I'm a Pelosi fan but it was because of her that the package was restructured towards the people who really need it instead of major corporate bailouts...but you knew that, right?

    You got that backwards. The airlines cancelled flights before Trump took any action.

    450,000 people who saw what was happening in wuhan came to the USA to come home or get away before he enacted it. Yeah, only 40,000 came after he enacted the ban, but everyone already came. It was too late.

    Yes, I realize that...but as I said, the package was less corporate friendly and channeled more money instead to the people who needed it most "after it was restructured"...which was the very crux of my post.

    wut?

    after nearly two weeks and many efforts by McConnell to ram a crappy bill thru, the Senate finally passed the 2 trillion stimulus bill and send it to the House on March 26. The house immediately passed it so trump could sign the bill on March 27 (it was still a crappy bill though)

    if you're babbling about the first emergency aid bill, the House passed it on March 14, one day after Trump declared a national emergency which opened up the path for congress to pass legislation. That was passed while the Senate was on recess. It was not until March 18 that the senate was able to get their shit together and send the bill to the president. Again, what the House passed was dependent on a national emergency declaration. It took them one day to get it done

    where is this week of delay you're talking about?

    and he was warned of the situation in January and contiued through February down playing it and acting like it will just go away amd the dems were using it as a hoax. The only hoax was thinking we had a leader that can lead.
