A couple of weeks ago I predicted correctly that President Trump would reopen the economy midway between the point where the Democrats would blame him for doing it too early and the point where the Democrats would blame him for opening the economy too late.
I now realized that the president has gone one better than that, he has actually threaded the needle on opening the economy. He has decreed a road-map and left it up to the governors how to drive the road back to town.
The genius of this move, to me, is breathtaking. It really puts the Democratic governors on the spot. The Republican governors in Texas and Florida are already restarting their economies and that makes the Democrat governors out as brutal dictators that don’t care about people like you and me. Imagine: in Massachusetts the politicians and the bureaucrats apparently have time in between interagency coordination meetings to decree one-way sidewalks.
Of course, the Republican governors are in charge of states with automatic social-distancing devices called “suburbs” and “automobiles.” It is only in yeasty urban environments where people are thrown together into disease-multiplying “apartments” and “mass transit.”
Has it ever occurred to you that “apartments” and “mass transit” are racist? It hadn’t occurred to me, but now I admit the error of my ways. Apartments and mass transit put the oppressed and the marginalized at risk while rich-witch white billionaires hunker down in front of their cavernous $24,000 side-by-side refrigerators crammed to the gills with fancy-pants ice cream.
I know. How could I have been so blind?
Social distancing tip: Next time some wokerati calls you a racist, you reply, “Okay, Wokey, whatabout mass transit?”

The Democrats love their Uncle Joe... and I don’t mean Biden.
The IQ of the dump-a-craps is so low that they can’t comprehend the number that represents the President’s IQ
“The genius of this move, to me, is breathtaking. It really puts the Democratic governors on the spot.”
I could be wrong, but I don’t think Trump cares one bit about political manuevering to put Democrats on the spot. I believe he is simply leading, listening to his advisors and trying to decide on the best path forward.
Trump is a pretty unique individual in my book. He doesn’t really act like a politician in my book. He has to know, for example, that his Tweets often generate a lot of controversy and may even cost him moderate votes, but he carries on regardless.
They never call uncle. They only cry racism.
“When will the democrats cry uncle?”
Never... too stupey.
Take em to the woodshed every chance you get.
More popcorn please.
His ju-jitsu move....baiting the governors into squealing like stuck pigs about the 10th. Amendment and then saying “OK guys, you now own this” was nothing short of pure genius. I stand in awe.
They’ll cry uncle when large numbers of union government employees start receiving their layoff notices.
That might well be never. Democrats would feed their own mothers into the wood chipper if they thought it would advance their agenda. The voting public means less than nothing to them.
The D’s are perpetrating global crimes. They are running scared and they will not stop unless they put down the threat against them, or they are hauled off to a tribunal.
Such a naive question.
“...The D’s are perpetrating global crimes. They are running scared and they will not stop unless they put down the threat against them, or they are hauled off to a tribunal....”
Yep. Typical communists. We’re gonna need a lot of rope....lots of rope.
Concur...
Not seeing any consequences for their treachery in the short term. Time will tell.
Trump is not an ideologue and not susceptible to ideological attack. He doesn’t care. He only wants results. The mark of a businessman not a politician. Trump is also a master at game theory. That’s how he wiped out Clinton in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote. He’s so far ahead of the stupid media that he’s playing 3D chess while they are playing with themselves.
He's not maneuvering to put Democrats on the spot. He's maneuvering to protect himself because they're going to try to blame him for every single thing that goes wrong with this fiasco.
Agree in general...although his statement about having “absolute authority” respective to opening up the country was playing the D’s like a fiddle. He knew their outrage would come as “NO! WE, THE GOVERNORS, HAVE THAT AUTHORITY”.
Then he gives them a 3 phase playbook and says “ok, you have the RESPONSIBILTY of when to open up then”.
It’s almost pathetic how easy they are to manipulate but the second I heard him say this I knew what he was doing.
When a person is hopelessly compromised and cannot escape they will either accept the consequences of their condition or they will lie, cheat, squeal, and attack with no regard for any but their own hide. Not one Democrat has been willing to accept responsibility for their actions. Nancy’s accusations against the president are indictments of herself.
Los Angeles Mass transit:
Metro Train
Buses
Subways
NONE require you to wear a mask.
Well, the homeless people aren’t wearing masks, and maybe not in LA, but where I live, if you don’t let the homeless people on the train, then you end up with frozen homeless people littering the sidewalks.
I think the democrat strategy is obvious... Blame republicans for every death in their state after lifting of lockdowns, as if Corona virus deaths are more important than other causes of death. The only counter to this will take time, as red state economies get back on track while people flee blue states.
