Yeah, I won't get one. I assume most of us here won't.

Looks like AA employees will. (Whatever trickles down)

Maybe.

But he's worth about $500 million and they simultaneously announced the elimination of their dividend.

Didn't you tell us that Congresswoman Loeffler and husband were worth $500 million and that's why it was okay for them to sell off stocks based on Congressional briefing information not shared with the American people?

Seems like a better look to be foregoing salary and bonus and being worth $500 million.

That's SENATOR Loeffler to you, self-loathing misogynist.

Technically seahawk is correct, no? Congress = both chambers; so if she had said Rep. Loeffler your indignation would be justified........aren't both Sen and Rep collectively Congress(wo)man?

Self-loathing? I got a political title incorrect, but Senator Loeffler voted to keep in office your Misogynist in Chief. The guy who has how many women that have alleged sexual assault against him, who raped teenagers, admitted that he ran beauty pageants to ogle adolescent beauty queens, had sex with porn stars, brought a soft porn model into the White House as First Lady to make American women international laughingstocks?

And you have the unmitigated gall to call me self-loathing? Giggle.

Your president is willing to let people in Michigan die because their governor is too uppity a female for him and YOU call me "Self-Loathing?"

Lulz.

Thank you, zsn, I often do use the term Congress critters, which includes both chambers.

How about your self-loathing GOP female senators, DC? In addition to Kelly Loeffler, there's Toni Ernst, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Deb Fischer, Shelly Moore Capito, Martha McSally--they tolerate all the other misogynist garbage that the president you defend has said and continues every day to spew forth, but even in this crisis he's dissing GM CEO Mary Barra as "Always a mess with Mary B."

But, maybe you feel that Jared is doing a great job at negotiating and it's that uppity CEO "Mary B" who is at fault. Just as for your Republican female senators, contributing to deaths in Michigan because your guy Trump views their governor as far too uppity "We've had a big problem with the young — a woman governor." is just the ugliest kind of misogyny that GOP women tolerate...no exult in.

After all, they voted to keep him in office.

There's also something intrinsically gross about the fact that his foregoing one month's salary has that big of an impact on that many employees.

I suppose you heartily approve of the fact that your guy refuses to call women by their names or only calls them by their first names? Sorta reminiscent of the 1950s.

Oh, and I checked, he calls men, even those he disdains, by their full names.

President Trump on Monday lashed out at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for criticizing his response to the coronavirus pandemic, calling her a “sick puppy.”

“It’s a sad thing,” Trump said during a call-in interview on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning after he was asked to respond to Pelosi’s criticism a day prior. “She’s a sick puppy in my opinion. She’s got a lot of problems.”

As the owner of a town myself, this boondoggle intrigues me. Still trying to figure out how to make it work with my accountant.

But don't take your eyes off the PPP "loans". Who is gonna pick up the tab for that $350B? It won't be the ones who benefit the most from the taxpayer gift is my guess.

It will be interesting to see if the transference of wealth from this event is as big as what occurred in the great recession, from my viewpoint it looks bigger right off the bat. "Principled conservatives" don't believe in picking winners and losers in the economy....except when it means they will be the winners.

If you want more of the same, just keep voting trumpublican!

It is tempting as hell right now, and I am sure that is the intent.

got our check, direct deposit and all

really thought ours would be delayed. not that i’m complaining, but it would seem there are many others who could benefit from it (presuming others’ payments are delayed)

best part is the direct deposit...so i don’t have to see dip-shit’s sharpie signature on an actual check
