I keep seeing on Facebook that the economic carnage is not the fault of Lightfoot or Gov Fat Boy per libs because it was done in the name of "safety". That its the virus that did it.

 Michigan is one state where you think Senators would not think of a course of action that fails to respect the Second Amendment. Sadly, that is not the case with either Debbie Stabenow or Gary Peters. In 2018, John James didn’t beat Stabenow, but he came within seven points – polls had shown Stabenow with as much as a 17-point margin. Aside from his 2018 Senate run, James is a newcomer to politics. After that race, he was considered for the UN Ambassador spot vacated by Nikki Haley, but the Trump Administration went with a different candidate. James is now...

He got there by cherry-picking historical facts, isolating them out of context, and wedging them to fit a narrative that American freedom is bad and must...

On 9 September 2020 in an interview on the Shawn Hannity show on Fox news.com, President Trump made a bold assertion.

From the transcript: And also, Supreme Court judges or justices.And you — the whole country, it depends on these decisions, which way you go, whether you have a Second Amendment or not.
