Jesse Watters on push to reopen the economy: 'You can feel this country getting angry'
Fox News ^ | 16 April 20 | Victor Garcia

Posted on 04/16/2020 4:31:57 PM PDT by Bruiser 10

Jesse Watters said Thursday on "The Five" that he could feel a growing backlash to the ongoing restrictions imposed in response to the coronavirus pandemic as the White House prepared to roll out its guidelines for reopening the economy.

"It's like when you go under water and you hold your breath, if you keep holding your breath, you're going to sustain brain damage or you're gonna drown," Watters said. "And you can tell this country is ready to stop holding its breath and get above water and get a gasp of air, because if you keep staying under water, you've already seen [Great] Depression-level economic jobs losses in just one month alone."

"This country is not going to make it to May 1st," Watters added. "And that's why you see some states are going to have to open in phases.

"You can feel this country getting angry ... They're getting angry at the governors. They're not allowed to go to church," Watters said. "You know, they they don't have freedom of association. They can't pursue happiness. This is getting pretty ugly and we can't take it anymore."

Not angry. Bankrupt! A stimulus check doesn’t pay my bills. An SBA loan which might be forgiven if I keep people on the payroll isn’t going to keep my business afloat.

That’s why people are pissed. It’s not about sitting about playing video games.
A hundred million American’s think this is now a joke.....

There is an up-market barber in our area about to go rogue. He is risking his license to do so. Following strict guidelines. Wish him the best. These businesses will die if something doesn’t change.

I keep hearing how irresponsible the governor of North Dakota is, for not mandating a lock down. But when I compare her to Michigan, who's locking down damned near everything - you can't buy garden seeds to prep for the coming food shortages - I can't see that she's doing such a terrible job.

Hard to believe that all the commerce at the coast in Virginia Beach...Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Marriott, and ALL the entrepreneurs surrounding the area

ARE GOING TO ACCEPT THE CLOSE DOWN UNTILL AFTER MEMORIAL DAY.

Ya know, I have NEVER been in politics, never on the School Board, the City Counsel, State Senator, Assemblyperson...

BUT I KNOW THIS: I WOULD NEVER THINK ABOUT SHUTTING DOWN A RESORT TOWN AT THE END OF SPRING OR THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER. POLITICAL SUICIDE, unless you are a freakin’ moron.

I have been angry since dictators decided they somehow have authority to tell us what to do.

What makes me more angry is how many stupid lemmings just willing follow. No one can ever wonder why so many were murdered throughout history when we see the utterly compliant human lemmings all around us.

The country isn’t nearly angry enough at the tyrant morons that have imprisoned us in our homes, denied us our freedoms, and destroyed our economy and future. They need to pay a price, but I seriously doubt they will.

Yes and what Mr. Trump said tonight will do little to assuage it.

Don’t forget AK! According to a couple websites, Alaska is #3 in “best” as in most restrictive response, in the nation.

A lot of traffic on I-16 and I-95 the last two days. People are getting tired of these socialist practices.

Frankly, with oil prices so low, and tourism destroyed, Alaska’s economy has been destroyed. Coupled with our Governors lock-downs, this state will be hurting for a long, long time.
I plan on buying another gun and plenty of more ammo. The meth, heroin, and other drug abuse is going to skyrocket. All self inflicted.

"In metro Atlanta the traffic is getting heavier. People ate just starting to go back out on their own."

We're seeing that in SE PA as well. Also, a lot of people are ignoring the latest edict on masks.
