The Trump administration is reportedly considering the possibility of re-implementing the Defense Production Act. Originally enacted during the Korean War, the Act essentially empowers the President to control the means of production—the idea being that it would be in the interest of the nation's defense to force private manufacturers to focus their production efforts on things that would benefit the country in a time of tenuous resources.

It's a Dem hoax?
Trump "attempted to link the coronavirus outbreak to Democratic immigration policies, labeling Democratic attacks on his handling of the crisis a “new hoax” in a rambling speech in South Carolina, the night before the state’s crucial Democratic primary. "
Trump calls coronavirus criticism Democrats' 'new hoax' and links it to immigration

When I hear people say 'president trump' I can't help but hear it in a uniquely British way. Beer farts, eggy guffs and president trumps. They stink of orange skin and comb overs.

Yeah, it's been interesting to observe the steady increase in blatantness of this one's alt-right trolling.

What's scary is that quite so many people are prepared to take his burblings at face value.
I guess this thread is as good a place as any to post this, especially as Trump has been mentioning this recently of a troop withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Afghan conflict: US and Taliban sign deal to end 18-year war
President Trump says it is "time after all these years to bring our people back home".

It will be interesting to see how many of the pro-Trump crowd make an appearance to defend that.
Not really, the whole pro/anti Trumpers are more than predictable now.

Perhaps - though Trump himself has been very careful not to be too associated with it and the usual clowns haven't yet said what a glorious idea it is, just the anonymouses on twitter.

The courts ruled that refugees from the Mexican border can not be sent back to Mexico until their case is heard.
So, Trump is now considering a new way to close the Mexican border. His reasoning is that this move will stop the influx of the corona virus.

Whenever Trump doesn't like the truth, he claims it is fake news.
Trump doesn't like the WHO numbers.
His gut tells him that WHO is numbers are too high.
Now, it is WHO that is giving fake news.

Trump calls WHO's global death rate from coronavirus 'a false number'
‘This is just my hunch’, president says on Fox News and then plucked his own surmising of a death rate out of the air

He's quite excelled himself with this fucking stupidity.

But remember that Marty1 with incredible foresight predicted that the Dems would blame Trump for this. 
Bloody crooked Democrats, unpatriotically and irrelevantly pointing out that Trump “fired the entire pandemic response team two years ago and then didn’t replace them.”

But of course this has been pointed out to him before, so dishonest posting from him yet again.

Did Trump Administration Fire the US Pandemic Response Team?
As a new coronavirus spread in 2020, so did concerns about the United States' preparedness for a potential pandemic.

FEMA camps have been around for decades. With literally thousands of military installations to choose from does anyone think they couldn't come up with a FEMA camp if they needed one? The guard base at Ashland Nebraska is a good example. They have hundreds of buildings that are invisible from the road and ready at a moments notice. They put corona virus patients in quarantine without so much as a ripple in the social fabric. The only reason any of us knew is that the government was trying to convince us they were being responsive to the corona virus.

Yeah it was more of a reference to the conspiracy theory that started under GWB then into Obama that they were being turned into concentration camps
FEMA's new holiday camps
These seem to be springing up around the US video tour (6-7 mins) Good to see that they have plenty of heating. Can't have the guests catching a chill. :eek:

Kellogg, Brown and Root wins concentration camp contract
Another coup for Dick Cheney's Halliburton; £385 million. Oh, I'm so looking forward to being rounded up, I wonder when they will start building the British ones. Under the enemy combatant designation anyone at the behest of the US government, even if they are a US citizen, can be kidnapped...

You know, I kinda miss Jazzz. He was entertaining.
I'm aware of the conspiracy theory and the threads we've had about it. I used to listen to Art Bell and some of the other late night loonspuds on the radio. Being an insomniac, it was available entertainment. After a while, I realized that it was harmful because people actually did believe it, and it was a platform for some of the more harmful things that have shown up in American politics in the last few years.
The FEMA camp thing is probably one of the most believable ones. Its entirely plausible that the government would round people up in case of a disaster--much as we're seeing now with quarantining people to make sure they don't spread coronavirus. Or, like after the Camp fire when a military base was used as a place to evacuate people from the fire. However, its also easy to imagine them being used in ways that are harmful, such as separating children from their parents at the border, as is currently happening. That's an illegitimate use of government power. In any case, the government has had that capability at least since WWII.
