I'm just falling about laughing at this one.

1. It's amazing the number of people you can bribe when you use the taxpayers money.

Why is he giving millions to a newspaper in Scranton, PA?

I thought the media was the enemy of the people?

And wouldn't that be a paper expected to endorse Joe Biden?

2. I assume this fact is supposed to taint trump's handling of PPP somehow. But, it seems just the

opposite since the trump Admin -- through the banks that handled the loans -- did not deny a loan to a group that effectively sought to tarnish trump's image (which isn't hard to do).

Fact is, lots of groups supported by Democrats got loans/grants. Heck the Florida Democratic Building Fund even got money and tons of Arts groups did, as well.

I actually think the PPP -- passed with help/backing of Democrats -- was successful. It came together quickly and probably kept a lot of people on payrolls and small companies from going broke.
