look at how all this has unfolded and realize that dems do not give one iota how bad they hurt the country as long as they think they will be in power. look at how the house has acted recently, shot down the policing bill from tim scott, insist that only they know what we need and Trump is an idiot to be ignored.
the states with the worst problems from covid were/are the dem run dumps, ny, kalifornicate, mi, wi, nj, conn and others are doing all they can to keep things shut down, why?


folks, the liberal/socialists are playing the population again with covid and then the floyd mess just amped up the delay in reopening due to riots and protests.

like I have said, like him or not, Trump is the only choice if you want to keep living in the U.S. elect biden and we will be third world within 6 months.

Don’t shame people for having a different view. Don’t applaud government telling us how to live, and what to do. Chance are, their next decisions may not suit your liking. I won’t have much sympathy for you then.

Many, like you, weigh the risk and decide it's worth it to get out of the house.

My point was that if it continues enough will not go by their own choice that bars and restaurants will not have enough customer base to survive. I do think the government has the responsibility to keep the public informed with the best information of the day rather than deny the problem. And Davedave, no sympathy from you does not matter to me one iota.

He's retired. What does he care? Most of the ones in favor of the shutdown have no fat in the fire...they're retired.

You excluded Arizona, Texas, and Florida because they are ran by republicans.

He lost all credibility on here when he wished for a recession in the US so it would take Trump down. When you wish destruction to your country because you don’t like the current President, you have crossed a line, in my opinion.
