Finally, some common sense!

[ZERO25]

Longtime news broadcaster Dan Rather on Sunday advised the media to "pay far less attention" to President Donald Trump.

Rather made the following remarks about Trump.

"It's disgraceful what he's doing," Rather said of Trump's response to COVID-19. "He's continuing to try to divide the country at the very moment when we need to pull together. This is unacceptable and I think most Americans recognize it as such."

The veteran anchor encouraged television presenters to "report as many of the facts as possible."

"Until and unless he proves differently, pay far less attention to President Trump," Rather recommended. "I really regret having to say that. He's not going to come to anybody's rescue. And the faster we realize that, the better off we'll be."

Oh, aint he the guy that got fired for fabricating a news story about Bush! I can see why you would be listening to him!Yall have something in common...….you cant tell the truth!

More lies from the Stable genius telling.

President Donald Trump is falsely asserting how quickly automakers including GM, Ford and Tesla can manufacture ventilators to help fill an acute U.S. shortage of the medical equipment for coronavirus patients.

Ford and GM have yet to start production, and it would take them months, if not longer, to begin production, if it's even possible.

A look at the claim:

TRUMP: “Ford, General Motors and Tesla are being given the go ahead to make ventilators and other metal products, FAST! @fema Go for it auto execs, lets see how good you are?

TRUMP, on addressing a shortage of ventilators: “General Motors, Ford, so many companies — I had three calls yesterday directly, without having to institute like: `You will do this’ — these companies are making them right now.” — briefing Saturday.

THE FACTS: No automaker is anywhere close to making medical gear such as ventilators and remain months away — if not longer. Nor do the car companies need the president’s permission to move forward.

That was kinda foolish hanging any hat on the Dan Rather hook.......his own people don't even listen to him anymore.

I feel pretty comfortable that with 3D printing technology that these large companies could turn something like a ventilator around pretty quickly.

[Barbecueboy]

If people telling ( or not telling) the truth is your issue with trump , you have some work to do in your own camp don't you?

Cause erry body over there ain't tellin the truth.......been fact checking Krock for a while yet and it don't meet benchmark.

Neither GM or Ford is building ventilators at present, while Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Friday that his company was “working on ventilators" but he didn’t specify how long it might take. His tweets also questioned the need and said it couldn't be done immediately.

Unless automakers can move with unprecedented speed, redirecting plants to make completely different products will take a long time — possibly too long to help with medical gear shortages.

But at least we would have a surplus for the next pandemic which is what you are blaming this great president for not having (among other ridiculous things) and if that ever happened (GOD FORDID ) you would find some other ridiculous idiotic things to blame him for !

[Barbecueboy]

Auto makers could move at unpresidented speed and be nimble enough to adapt.

If they weren't bogged down by union red tape........very government-ish

And I don't claim to know with absolute certainty what they can or cannot do right now.

SS , if you would watch a creditable news source , you would have seen Mr. Ford on this morning describing exactly what they are doing to help , musk is nothing but a drop in the bucket compared , however his or any body else,s help is greatly appreciated just as with your wife ........

[Barbecueboy]

He missed that news article.......it contained positives about what the country was doing collectively.

Which would give hope and change......something they used to like.

ss why is Pelosi/Schumer stopping the stimulus that will give paychecks to everyone in need with unrelated same day register to vote and Green Deal items, among other Communistic items that are also not related to the crisis at hand?

Is that somehow Trump's fault too???

Yuuuuuuup.........it will be somehow.

the president and Vice President of California says its so.

Pelosi would serve her country better if she actually lived there.

[dirtMAN007]

Just saw a story on my local nbc news that said and showed the Ford F-150 plant making some kind of respirator for the epidemic ................ guess it’s all a lie !
