They've not updated the story yet to reflect that any deliveries did take place. I think that there will still be some interesting developments on this front. In the end, it may rest upon semantics: what is meant by a "ventilator" (as opposed to a CPAP or BPAP machine) and where *exactly* (California specifically?) did Tesla say the machines would be delivered.

I did edit, but will put it here to answer that... musk didn't just ship at random to places, he said this is a list of what I have, if you want, contact us... everything sent out is what the hospitals requested, it wasn't just random, if one place received only bpap, thats cos they requested only bpaps
And no doubt cnn is now playing reporter and actually investigating what was shipped
 
We should try an experiment some day: for one day, take the opposing standpoint on Trump, i.e. those who usually criticise him, should praise in him what they can, and those who usually are in support of him, should criticise him for what they can.

While holding hands and singing Kumbaya?
It'll turn into a joke at best.

This may shock you, but one day you'll look back and realise how very little 'praising' of trump actually happens in these countless threads. What you see as 'praising' is generally just people calling out and laughing at the npc tds reeeing and luke crywalking that surrounds everything trump does or says along with the constant flipflopping of msm to be opposite of him ;)
 
Biden at 2/1 is looking like a steal but I will have money locked up until November :unsure:. Will think about it over the weekend.

Covid-19 has cost Trump the presidency. I'm pretty sure of that. It times of huge crises, populations tend to look for a reassuring figure. 2016 environment was a completely different environment.

Agreed, if Trump was smart he could have capitalized on the pandemic.

No one blames him for it, although he always claims that, ........but he can be measured on his handling of the situation, and on that he is a yuuuuge failure.

Where did you get 2/1? Last I checked he was around 6/5.
 
He is carrying on. Michigan and Minnesota.

The president of the USA is calling on states to rise up and liberate. Calling for civil disobedience.

WTF? He has lost it.

Is he in meltdown?

Here he is screaming for what amounts to succession and essentially tantamount to a precipitation of civil war.

The fxxking President of the fxxking US of A is screaming for this?

So much for preserve, protect and defend?

The Orangutanman is going to issue these reopening "guide lines" and his Rep governors will do what he wants, and it will spur the redneck MAGA's to revolt against the Dem governors, which has already started.

Not unexpected, if the POS snollygoster can't get his way, it will be no way.

This 2017 article is a long read - the predictions made then are playing out now.

How to Build an Autocracy

The preconditions are present in the U.S. today. Here’s the playbook Donald Trump could use to set the country down a path toward illiberalism.

Viktor Orbán of Hungary, the late Hugo Chávez of Venezuela, and Jacob Zuma of South Africa all turned their countries away from liberal democracy and toward kleptocracy. Worldwide, democracy is in recession.


Donald trump will not set out to build an authoritarian state. His immediate priority seems likely to be to use the presidency to enrich himself. But as he does so, he will need to protect himself from legal risk. Being Trump, he will also inevitably wish to inflict payback on his critics. Construction of an apparatus of impunity and revenge will begin haphazardly and opportunistically. But it will accelerate. It will have to.

If Congress is quiescent, what can Trump do? A better question, perhaps, is what can’t he do?

Civil unrest will not be a problem for the Trump presidency. It will be a resource. Trump will likely want to enflame more of it.
