From Wikipedia regarding the FBI Building: "These delays meant that the cost of the project grew to $126.108 million from $60 million... By 2012, the J. Edgar Hoover Building was nearing the end of its useful lifespan, suffering from deterioration due to deferred maintenance and mediocre design. Plans were made to relocate the FBI's headquarters elsewhere, but those plans were abandoned in 2017 due to a lack of funding for a new headquarters building." Obama Admin sought funding to move it, but Congress wasn't interested. Bravo to Republicans if they at least remain consistent and say they can't afford it with Trump in office.
AP - If Biden wins election he promises to build a new FBI headquarters and name it "The Peter Strzok Building" complete with a large park surrounding the building including statues of Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Andrew McCabe.
Well, look what other money trump wants included in the COVID-19 bill... Administration wants West Wing remodel money in virus bill https://apnews.com/589692882c67650b87daeec5765660c5
Just saw on the news that another 1.4 million people applied for unemployment while the GDP has declined by 33%
I'd imagine that after this report they will expedite at least getting the UI going. Reality is that there aren't as many jobs to go back to right now, it's not as if Americans are just being lazy either and are just allowing the government to take care of them.
The republican senate is heading off to their normal three day weekend, again failing to pull together legislation to ease the impact of COVID-19 on the American people. Remember this come November...
Important to note... the USPS provides a vital service to all Americans. And will be important in mail-in voting, so of course, trump and his republican senate enablers don't want to assist the vital service but instead, military aircraft (and the FBI building near trump's hotel)... Backstory:
And the republican senate skipped town for their three-day weekend without finalizing a COVID-19 recovery bill...
House was suppose to go on recess for all of August starting tomorrow. I guess McConnell is testing Pelosi and attempting to pin this **** on the Democrats. Curious if Pelosi will announce a delay on taking that recess. She has stated she is willing to do so to get a bill passed, but there is no negotiated bill on the table right now, so I guess call their bluff an announce that House will be staying in Washington an additional week to meet the needs of the people.
The United States economy is in the middle of a catastrophe, and it is trump’s fault. His administration has been a failure. I could write paragraphs detailing just how catastrophic trump’s failure as a leader during this pandemic has been, but I’m too happy about beating the Mavs to bother. Besides, @NewRoxFan is doing an excellent job. Go Rockets! Dallas sucks! trump sucks worse than the Mavs and he is a rotten b*stard. It will take a decade for our country to recover from 4 years of trump and that’s being optimistic.
