New Jersey just released an estimate that they’re facing a $20 billion budget shortfall.

This is in a state where the total budget is around $40 billion.

Just think about that one for a moment.

Pennsylvania’s order even admits that it will not be enforced. That’s because: (1) it’s impossible to enforce in any practical way, and (2) the courts are closed indefinitely for silly sh!t like this, and can’t cope with any cases of people contesting the fines.

One of my frustrations with this whole event is the lack of information on who is getting Covid and by what likely transmission path? Beyond nursing homes and assisted living facilities, which is easy for everyone to understand, there’s very little from the public health authorities.

You’d think those same authorities would be talking to the grocery employers and health insurers to get some numbers there. If those folks are at serious risk, show the world, convince them that you need to be wearing that mask to protect those retail workers we all depend on.

“convince them that you need to be wearing that mask to protect those retail workers we all depend on.”

They keep repeating the same message..”wear a mask..wear a mask”...isn’t that enough? /s

Or they’ll hold you down and sew a mask to your face. No mask means you’re an uncaring slob who should be beaten to death by a Democrat mob of scared fanatics.

That’s a great comment. Nailed it. 2020 is a nightmare I haven’t had to wear a mask yet and I really don’t even want to. It’s sinister times.

I actually enjoy the anonymity. I can buy condoms, bongs, porn and tequila and people don’t say “Hey, he was my Sunday School teacher”

Mr. President, enough is enough.

You must act. Issue your own Executive Order, backed up by the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution, to counter the illegal orders of these petty tyrants.

The 10th Amendment does not apply to the states when they are violating the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendment rights of the people.

- California has BANNED SINGING in churches.

- Little children and the elderly with breathing difficulties are being tortured by muzzle masks.

No more tweets.

No more press conference that go nowhere.

Do something.

Hes busy with daca instead of the children of citizens.. n probably working on another generous spending bill with pelosi. There is no way he is restoring rights.. its just not his thing. Starting with the bumpstock ban.
Caravans of illegals have more rights than your children.

has Trump not been president throughout the entirety of this nonsense, and done nothing to end it? why would it end if he continues to be president?

One always hopes that a president on his 2nd term will be more forceful, not having to worry anymore about re-election.

VERY FEW masks in the mountain countires of Tennessee...MANDATED masks in Sullivan County thanks to the cowardly Mayor Richard Venable...quite a few in the Berkeley of East Tennessee; Johnson City. Grocery stores, like churches; should be EXEMPT from mask mandates.

Gov Witchmer missed a golden opportunity here. Instead of making it a misdemeanor charge, she should have made it a felony. As a felony, they can confiscate guns.

That's the point...make going out so miserable that you'll want to "stay in" and continue to flatten the "curve" ECONOMY and CAMPAIGN and basically hibernate until November?

That's one of the points.

The other goals are to make the public miserable so that they will accept a mandatory vaccine and contact tracing.

kinda hard to have any meaningful voter ID if all have to wear a mask at the voting booth

also easier to vote several times with mask...even if the hall has CCTV

all you need to do is change yer clothes

I half expect some of those fanatic beatings to happen sooner or later. Some poor schlub will be overwhelmed by a herd of karens and chads.
