    It will be interesting to see who gets the emergency SBA loans.

    I guess it will all come out in the Congressional investigations into the Trump Administration response to Covid-19.

    The ones that went "poof" in days?

    You BET it was a lot easier and quicker to dole it out to "small businesses" with 500 employees (and more if they have multiple locations) than to help out all those thousands of ACTUAL small businesses (less than 50 employees) survive.

    And check out what's going on with the WWE down in Florida. Apparently McMahon is getting some help with his TV contracts, from the Florida GOP Administration.

    He's being allowed to keep his "sport" going in spite of the social distancing rules that have shut down virtually every other sport in the nation.

    Will be worth hundreds of millions to him if he can produce even a small amount of "live content" as per existing contracts.

    Not uncommon that people that share common beliefs end up working together.

    They’re out of funds and they’ve already mapped them with approval
    percentages by state.

    Care to take a guess?

    You gotta love the fact that Trump supporters don't even try to deny these things anymore.

    I got them. I guess they probably reviewed my political positions before arguing the application. Right?

    I have no problem in principle with a president giving a job to a big donor. The bigger problem is that Trump is giving important jobs to his unqualified circle of friends. The SBA is pretty important right about now.

    WHOA! Stop the presses! Another dog bites man expose. What are your reasons for thinking McMahon is not qualified? [a rhetorical question]

    As I understand it, no Trump businesses are eligible -- meaning written into the law or regulations -- for any emergency SBA loans.
