Do you believe in federalism ( states make decisions for themselves, with federal government only having responsibility for their limited list of jurisdiction such as national defense, etc.). . Trump didnt shut the states down and it is not his responsibility to open them up. It is the jurisdiction of the governors. If people have commie dictators for governors they need to put pressure on their governor!
Coumo lacks the ability to take the required action
Actually, if he followed the lead of a true executive, he would find the best he has and let them go to work
He’s afraid to
Gov Chicken Little loves her power...allows tennis but not golf!
My bet is the #’s of ‘cases’, hospitalizations and deaths FROM (not with) Covid 19 will be fabricated by the Chicken Little gov to continue robbing us of our freedoms.
We need accurate and accelerated testing that is NOT being done, by design b/c of imposed limits of reasons allowed to test.
The populace of this small state isn’t going to stomach this government created disaster much past end of April.
Which state are you talking about?
You know, I do think you have highlighted the dem game plan though.
We need to fight hard, I want a hard fight against voter fraud, that’s what worries me the most.
The way the fight petered out after the 2018 election was troubling.
Crud, now you got me worried. lol.
Wha does “Liberate” mean, other than freeing. I mean what are the mechanics involved in Liberating something?
The ‘rats are going to cheat, its what they do, they are pushing mail in ballots cause they can easily destroy ballots from republican neighborhoods, streets, areas, etc. Its easy to do at the post office level. Why do they want to “bail out” the post office? Its a prepayment for delivering the presidency, the senate and the house to them.
24 million ballots in the last election were not delivered. Notice, I did not say mailed, they could have been mailed but the ones from republican areas could have gotten destroyed.
My post office is in a very white, republican area but hires people from Trenton. There is reason for that.
Liberate Kansas!
Liberate the churches! Get the corrupt Catholic hierarchy to stop playing footsy with the corrupt Dems.
Lead the way. Without a mask on too, please.
I’m not sure exactly why your comment means, but I am certainly concerned that opening up these 3 states to soon may cause a new spike in serious infections. Florida’s governor just opened up the beaches with the statement that people should maintain adequate social distancing. Here is a link showing people at the Florida beaches, presumably today. I like to go to the Assatigue Island beach near Chincoteague, VA, but you can park at the farthest north parking lot at the north end of the lot and just head north on the beach to an area with a whole lot of social distance. In fact if you walk far enough north, people run the danger of being surprised by a beach patrol driving by and catching one skinny dipping or nude sunbathing.
It will be interesting to see how the society responds to any phased returns to “normalcy” because that may not just happen spontaneously.
The other side of the freedom coin is the freedom to abstain from participation. Let’s say for sake of argument the state governors relent, they drop most of the restrictions, and society is told “go back to status quo, just try to maintain some social distance and wash your hands frequently.”
Okay, so what does each individual then choose to do? Would everyone feel equally unrestrained about going back to their former routines? Would every business open up? What if a pub or restaurant business have lost available staff. What if the owner himself doesn’t want to risk opening up (in a larger city that might be the case perhaps). What if the patronage after “return to normalcy” is then 30% or 50% or whatever, of the previous rate?
These are imponderables that will be the sum of millions of individual decisions. Older people who managed to escape the pandemic so far may think their luck might not last forever and might wait for a while to see how things look after a few weeks or even months.
It could all work out really well, I hope in fact it does. But I wouldn’t count on anything with so many unknowns in play. I am not even that sure we have seen the one and only release of this toxin either, if we assume this may not be the natural event the “authorities” assure us that it is.
Maybe the plan is to lure people out into a sort of phase two virus ambush. I for one will be watching carefully if there is a widespread re-opening. I don’t trust anyone’s actions, intentions or potential to do harm, in this current situation. The election is not until November — that’s all I’m saying, read between the lines. And be careful.
