PPP=Payroll Protection Plan.
Kanye West DID get one of those payroll loans in the stimulus plan to help personally owned businesses. The "rich get richer, the poor get poorer!

Personally, I think Beyonce would be a far better president than Kanye or Trump> These guys just need to go and do what they do best...sit on their expensive toilet seats and hope their balls stay above the water-line.

Washington (CNN)Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

The move could make data less transparent to the public at a time when the administration is downplaying the spread of the pandemic, and threatens to undermine public confidence that medical data is being presented free of political interference.

...hospitals are to begin reporting the data to HHS on Wednesday, noting also that the "database that will receive new information is not open to the public, which could affect the work of scores of researchers, modelers and health officials who rely on C.D.C. data to make projections and crucial decisions."

CNN had a news byte this morning, which talked about 4 possible VP candidates that Joe Biden is vetting for the position.

Out of the four candidate hopefuls, i saw Susan Rice's name. I think she could fulfill the VP role. (Link to Rice bio).

Cin · 07-21-2020, 12:25 PM

The title of the article on Biden and his possible VPs is
"Joe Biden says he is considering four Black women to be his running mate"

And then the article goes on to name 5. I wonder which one he is not considering? I would rather imagine that is the answer, rather than someone cannot count to 4.

I guess that's what's called sloppy copy. I think they should be more careful with articles about the democratic presidential nominee. It might just be a residual thing a kind of perpetual confusion left from the trying to be clear in the time of Trump. That will be over soon hopefully.

All I have heard is of the possible picks 4 of them are black women not that they are the only possible picks.

The article reads "I am not committed to naming any (of the potential candidates), but the people I've named, and among them there are four Black women," Biden told MSNBC's Joy Reid on "The ReidOut."
...Biden is considering a broad tier of candidates to be his running mate, after pledging earlier this year to pick a woman for the job. CNN previously reported that Sen. Kamala Harris of California, Rep. Val Demings of Florida, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, former Obama administration national security adviser Susan Rice and Rep. Karen Bass of California are among the Black women being considered."

I count 5. So perhaps he is no longer considering all 5 of those women, since he said "I am not committed to naming any (of the potential candidates), but the people I've named, and among them there are four Black women"

I don't know about you, but I find the numbers don't compute. I am a bit confused.

BullDog · 07-21-2020, 02:29 PM

Biden has never released an official list of who he is considering for VP so the names in the news are just speculation. There could have been more than 4 black women being considered and the winnowing process has begun or maybe there were only 4 to begin with.

I don't think you can come up with an exact number based on media speculation. Anyway, he explained the process on Joy Reid last night. They still have quite a bit of the vetting process to go, and yes there are black women being seriously considered.

Personally I think he should pick a black woman and I think that Susan Rice and Kamala Harris are the strongest candidates anyway.

Cin · 07-21-2020, 02:47 PM

I was just talking about an article entitled "Joe Biden says he is considering four Black women to be his running mate" I found it surprising, maybe marginally interesting or perhaps just plain sloppy writing that the article then goes ahead and lists the names of FIVE Black women. That is all. Not debating about who Biden has said his picks are or whether he has or hasn't, not judging picks or anything at all. Just remarking about an article posted here that seemed at numerical odds with itself. But I think I've beaten that horse to death

over and out.

BullDog · 07-21-2020, 02:56 PM

Well, heck that article forgot to mention Stacey Abrams.

Anyway, all of the women who had been speculated about (including myself) I think will make a great VP. I don't think Biden is going to pull any surprises but we shall see.

Kätzchen · 07-21-2020, 03:16 PM

I agree Bulldog. I want to think Joe Biden will choose the woman with a well developed portfolio of experience. I think Susan Rice out ranks most other candidates we have been told about via media news. Rice has a well developed background under several administrations, plus she had excellent cooperative and collanorative experiences with US Allies and other important ranking global agencies. Choosing Rice would be a huge sign to me that leadership counts, especially when shattered global relationships need someone strong to help rebuild trust and credibility.

In my mind, Susan Rice is the best choice. Not only for our country, but for other countries too who have been betrayed by current admin in DC.

And thanks to both Cin and Bulldog for adding toward this particular issue, the Vice Presidential choice.

Has anyone started a new thread for talk about the up coming election and issues that are vitally important to talk about?

If either of you start one, I will gladly participate.
