The packed coffee shop is not the real issue. The real issue is loud talking. Also if anyone went there sick, and they are talking loudly, then a lot of people are going to be infected.

[Vendome]

“...even as the pandemic makes its way to the White House complex...”

Stupid fear mongers.

They tested positive and are not sick nor in a risk category of they do get sick...

[Vendome]

The reopening plan is dictated by the July July 27th final $600 federal payment for being unemployed and celebrating being alive.

At that point the governor’s really have no choice but to open...

They have no incentives to offer unemployed and cannot manufacture any green backs.

You mean Witchmer. If she extends it past May 28, Michigan is sunk. 6 business’in the county have announced that they will not reopen. 2 auto parts stores are for sale too.

[fortheDeclaration]

I agree! This staged reopening has given the Democrats an excuse to drag it out as long as they can. They are violating the constitutional rights of their citizens and need to be dealt with by the DOJ

[Cobra64]

Do these governors think they’re God? People have a right to determine their own destiny... or at least we used to.

Regardless, if Trump and Mnuchin want to “re-open” the economy, Trump should shut down these silly daily briefings. No one has a clue what they’re talking about anyhow. They simply serve to perpetuate hysteria.

[RomanSoldier19]

At least we all know we are on our own.

[Drago]

$25 Trillion in debt is pretty close to “Permanent Economic Damage”.

Post-date the taxes for future generations to pay.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

It’s over. We won. The curve was flattened. Not a single hospital in the US has reached capacity due to the Wuhan virus.

Go back to work. Open things up. Be smart, but git ‘er done.

[StAnDeliver]

And this is the other half of the re-election exacta

China is enemy.

Get Trump rallies restarted

[eartick]

I guess the FERAL government should have thought about this before issuing shutdown orders.

I hold Fauci responsible and PDJT for listening to this quack bureaucrat.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Simplest thing Trump can do is announce that any state bailout that lands on his desk before the country is 100% open will meet his veto pen.

[eartick]

So it was the demo rats that issued the shutdown orders? Right.

No, PDJT tripped on this one and listened to the so called experts and chose left instead of right turn. While others screamed this was a hoax and our country would be ruined shutting down.

Anyone knows, pulling the locomotive off the track stops the entire train. Unhooking a few cars does not stop the entire train for long.

[eartick]

Hell there is nothing out of these bureaucratic alphabet orgs anyone can trust. If they do not have the data or evidence they want they will manufacture it and the crisis to go with it.

This country has turned into one big sham, one after the other

[eartick]

and here come Pelousy with another trillion to save the day

[SkyPilot]

Trump has got to stop hiding behind Fauci and say something. This stupid reopening plan, dictated by who knows who, has given the leftist governors even longer leeway to remain shut down. Please, President Trump, if you want to get re-elected, stand up and lead. And if you’re tired and don’t want to run again, then pick somebody who can. This country is going to collapse otherwise.

Put on your flame suit.

[surrey]

We have a so called Republican governor,Baker, and he’s determined to collapse Massachusetts.

[Rapscallion]

Correct. Open now no matter what.

[freedomlver]

That unemployment number doesn’t include all those that are sitting at home still getting paid. teachers, state and federal Gov employees and university workers. Plus all the rest of the corporations that have people “Working” from home

[central_va]

Hoe do they plan on “unscaring” the sheeple?
