We just bankrupted the nation with a trillion+ dollar bailout, but we can’t afford more testing?!

Same here, FRiend! If/when NH opens up, we'll be there IF we don't get stopped at some border. We live further than you do (northern CT), but we can easily do a day trip in NH if need be. 😏

Well, according to Kayliegh McEnemy the USA has tested MORE citizens than ANY other country.

That’s right...we’ve tested 3.5 million, already.

That equals to what? 1% of the population?

Anyone who has been dissatisfied with this press briefing hasn’t been paying attention for the last 3-4 weeks.

What part of 350 million do you NOT understand?

350 MILLION
350 MILLION!

For a test that just went online.
They don’t grow on trees and you can’t pull them out of your butt. And there are real world issues in producing anything.

we have the same problem with libtards coming to florida. they leave their liberal states because they don’t like how it’s run or the high taxes, then they come here and vote for liberals who increase taxes.

Loudmouths like Cuomo and Newsom are now citing states rights
Back in the not always good old days DEMOCRAT governors in the South resisted integration on the grounds of STATES' RIGHTS. States' Rights are a good thing only when the left can use them for political gain, like ORANGE...MAN...BAD

I’ve been paying attention.

I guess I didn’t read the TESTING writing on all of the walls.

“If he does, tell him from me, please leave his NY ways behind.”

That’s incredibly offensive, since you know NOTHING about my family in NY.

I’m ALMOST LOL-ing out loud at that one. Where they live in rural NYS is more country than here in eastern TN. The reason we moved here to TN is because it’s so much like western NYS.

We just put heat in the 1830 farmhouse a few years ago.

Leaving the Buffalo airport, we’ve seen trucks with Confederate flags on them, and Easy Rider Rifle Racks in the back windows. My nephews get guns for Christmas, and hunt all the time on their land. The only music on the radio is country western. He lives on the family farm.

“We don’t want to hear him whining about having to haul his own garbage to the County-provided-Dump”

He hauls his own garbage to the dump now — as well as the garbage of other relatives who live on adjacent farms.

“Don’t make fun of churches being on every corner or the numerous evangelical churches.

The Baptist church they attend is more evangelical and fundamental than ANY church we’ve found here in Tennessee, and we’ve been here 10 years. It was started in the 1700s, and many of our ancestors were founding families.

“Don’t belittle parents when they don’t want their children playing baseball on Wednesday nights (church nights)

Yes; I know Wednesday nights are “church nights” — Prayer Meeting. We’re Baptist preacher’s kids. We attended church a MINIMUM of five services a week. His kids are being raised similarly (and are home schooled). You don’t miss Prayer Meeting or Evening Service for anything — especially not sports.

“We don’t sell liquor (wine, yes; liquor, no) in our grocery stores.”

Why would you assume he’s going to be on a hunt for liquor? (How rude!) They don’t drink.

“And, for God’s sake, don’t make fun of a rural person’s accent”

“God’s sake”? Really. He doesn’t take the Lord’s name in vain.

“Just please, please, don’t come down here and be condescending to those whose ancestors were here long before 1776 and settled here in this area so long ago.”

As you might be able to tell from my name, we settled in the U.S. 150 years before 1776. My aunts were in the DAR.

Sheesh!

He let the wonks talk too much and for the most part they confused everyone. For the most part I’m sure the perception was “Oh crap, were still going to be locked down for weeks.

These lockdowns are unenforceable once the citizenry just ignores them en masse
Like Prohibition in the 1920's, or the 55 MPH national speed limit in the 70's. Those who fail to learn from history.....

What the heck does testing have to do with it?

How is THAT perception NOT a reality?

Same goes for CA OR & WA.

“One thing Trump has got to remind them is that the Constitution forbids the states or a group of states from entering into a private pact or compact with each other. THis is especially true if they are doing it to oppose the President, as Cuomo overtly stated when announcing the pact with CT, NJ and others.

They’re essentially trying to secede while still keeping the federal dollars coming. The need to be called on this. The last secession cost a lot of lives, and this one would too.”

Did you listen to the briefing, today?

Graduating to each Opening Up phase is dependent on TESTING.

Now Dems don’t like states rights whether it is abortion, gay marriage, voter ID, gerrymandering, enforcement of our immigration laws, etc.
