Perhaps I am a bit edgy due to coronavirus house arrest. Just kidding. However, this guy's email really annoyed me. “We're in lock down and people are hurting wondering how they will pay their bills. All this was not happening 4 years ago. Over the last 4 years we have continued to see our freedoms erode. Yet, some keep hoping Trump will be our savior. What has he done over the last 4 years? All I've seen was more decay.”
Here is my response: “Where do you think we would be had Hillary won? Trump has fought for our freedoms like no Republican since Reagan. He has Republicans, Democrats, never Trump conservatives and 99% of the media fighting against his America first agenda. I give the guy credit.”
Folks, I refuse to dump on the only guy with the guts to fight for us. Trump has accomplished an extraordinary list of unprecedented achievements for We the People.
Coronavirus placed Trump between a rock and a hard place. Upon learning about the coronavirus, Trump immediately implemented a travel ban from China. Democrats and fake news media accused Trump of overreacting and racism.
Democrat and conservative media began reporting coronavirus as the worst to hit the planet and that we were all gonna die. I stopped watching Tucker Carlson on Fox News because every evening his reporting about the virus became scarier and scarier. Media scared the crap out of Americans on both sides of the political aisle.
Some folks say Trump should not have gone along with Dr. Anthony Fauci and other experts' proven-false prediction of two million deaths. Trump could not challenge the “experts.” With nationwide fear so high, members of his base would have joined fake news media and Democrats in crucifying him.

It all gets back to the real solution to the oppressive policies that are continuing to plague liberty minded Americans.US. We are the solution. We can’t rely on our “leaders” to defend and solve the threat to our way of life. First civil disobedience. And then. You figure the rest out folks.
Ditto
Except that Trump isn’t opening the country again. He punted that to the governors and released a vague set of guidelines that the governors can interpret as they wish.
What more would you have him do that would still be constitutional?
The economy would've been staggering along but Hillary would've blame it on Republicans. But there's no way they would've shut it down.
They would've found other ways to destroy the American spirit. School shootings, racist cops killing black Honor Roll students, etc.
To look at the silver lining in this sars2-cov flu: At least China and the Globalists can be viewed in the open and China will not regain it’s prominence as a world power as even the media and leftists will realize that this disease was purposefully disseminated on the world.
In most of the country, this means we can phase out the mitigation, as DeSantis is doing in most of Florida. Obviously, it will take longer in NYC and NJ and other hotspots.
And anybody who still says, "This Is Just The Flu" is a moron.
This is why we don't just down the country for the flu, or car crashes, or even cancer or heart disease.

This will put an end to the man made global worming NS as well as these models used to scare people. Let the millennial geeks have at the model. They can actually do more good analysis that most on that front.
Oh no.
Trump recognizes federalism and actually knows who is constitutionally awarded authority over different things.
He won’t seize power even when it is handed to him.
The tyrant.
Have the federal government fund and run the testing, which would ensure a common set of results where each state is measured by a common set of metrics. Individual states can't claim conditions are right for reopening when they aren't and also can't claim it isn't safe to reopen when the results show it is.
And then, of course, there's Trump's claim he alone can open the states. We can argue the Constitutionality of that but if he truly believes it then he should exercise that power and let the courts decide.
That wasn't all that evident earlier this week. He said he alone has that power.
It was a hoax. Open it up. Go full Sweden.
Stop the tyranny! Fire the SOBs!
Stop the tyranny! Fire the SOBs!
Technically right now he does.
When all fifty states declare an emergency he has tremendous power. Technically he could dismiss Congress for the duration, and seize direct control of the media.
But normally the responsibility for public health issues falls to the states as a Matt of constitutional law.
Nice graph but unfortunately the numbers are intentionally cooked by the medical establishment.
Many things have been diagnosed as Covid. And many deaths are attributed to Covid. One reliable source from NYC told me that any condition that required oxygen then succumbed was labeled Covid, regardless of cause.
And people call their doctor with cold/flu symptoms, get no test, stay home and recover. Their doctor reports it as Covid.
The virus is out there, but not near the numbers we see, IMHO.
Only by doing away with the Constitution altogether.
We’ll see, won’t we?
