Someday someone will take a stand. Someday they will say enough.
And to them millions will follow.
Historical fact.
Mac Mcleod
What does he want to control?
The Democrats want trump to control the states so the states have no responsibility.
Trump is saying. no… the states have to manage their crisis. He has given the states everything possible…
he lets them handle their own crisis.
Trump is following the constitution. It’s the states that are incapable of managing the crisis.
Just look at New York… look at the mess California is in… Chicago… Baltimore… the list goes on… Democrat states are examples of all control..none of the responsibility.
@Thrill Me sorry to disappoint. But when the president declares a national emergency it means hes taking control of said crisis whatever it may he directly. Just like Katrina and his dumb FENCE on the border. He just made it his problem and throughout our history a president takes charge on that situation. So now hes saying go back to work right? Ok go ahead, want the economy back quick then go back to work somewhere or go protest. My state listens to the CDC. Maybe yours should give it a try.
Reservior Dog
The CDC hadn’t made a good call yet… they didn’t agree with the travel restrictions Trump implemented…
if Trump didn’t restrict travel from China and Europe when he did…. 200,000 or more could have died…
infact.. as usual, everyone called him a racist for the travel restrictions.
So as far as I am concerned, the CDC are not the experts you think they are.
And by the way.. if you don’t want to get sick.. stay at home…cash in your Trump Bucks and order a pizza.
Thrill Me , Trump restricted the travel of Chinese Nationals, which did nothing. 43,000 people still came in from China (and Europe). Now, I’m not saying American citizens should have been stuck in China for 2 months, but that restriction was really a moot point. I live in San Francisco, which has the largest Chinese population in the US. It’s only by being in quarantine that the situation here wasn’t much worse than it was.
Thrill Me , I’ll take the CDC’s knowledge over Trump’s any day, however.
All the states except for Maine that are mentioned of re-opening without meeting the guidelines have a republican governor. Go figure.
@Rebecca hey Becs, hope you have a nice weekend 🤣
@oneraceonedestiny , Thanks! Since it’s open and my state is partially open, I’m taking my nieces and nephew to a drive thru safari. They’re either going to have a blast or be scarred for life… LOL!!
@Rebecca my mother had 6 younger sisters, and I was the first baby. I was surrounded by the love of my aunts, and their love has nourished and sustained me all my life. I’m sure you treasure and adore your nieces and nephew – they’ll bless you forever for it. Have a great time!
@oneraceonedestiny , thank you so much!! I do love them more than my own life. I moved 1,000 miles to be near them. We live on the same street just a few houses apart. They are always here and of course I love every minute of it. I don’t have any kids of my own so I spoil them a little. LOL Thanks again. You are a very kind person and I have really enjoyed talking with you.
@Rebecca lol you too sweetheart, much love.
The coal mines are gonna be worked by canaries.
Yep
Dr B has trashed her lifes work and has no credibility and cannot be trusted when speaking as. A public health administrator or spokes person. Her credentials be damned.
she has compromised her credibility by failing to tell truth to power.
cuchpa Or—she has twisted herself into a pretzel because she knows if she’s fired, Jared Kushner gets her job
she will suffer nothing….wipe your tears and get back to work.
@CynAnne1 And those elderly that were tested positive were forced by Coumo to be put into nursing homes even though he was begged not to do this by people who know better, have tied at alarming rates 5,700 of them as of last week.You pick out about 6 people with the virus that work with or around Trump . You are a disgusting deplorable.
Jacqueline Stgermaine Yeah she turned into an enabler now. Making accuse for the president
I think the supreme court is taking orders from trump, so game over. Trump is in charge, like it or not !!!
Supreme Court judges can be IMPEACHED…especially those appointed by a corrupt IMPEACHED POTUS…stay tuned….stay healthy and VOTE BLUE, AMERICA!
I agree. This ain’t nothing but the Devil wailing in full force. Pray.
Then more people will die
If the ballot box is denied from America, the ammo box will be the solution. Trump is playing with fire
I believe you are absolutely correct, and we may have already lost the nation!
Some people will choose to lose their lives with an infectious disease than struggle from a financial hardship .
@Suzanne Grow up. Not everyone has the “option” to stay at home and make a paycheck. Not everyone wants to live off of crumbs the government is giving you, and those that haven’t earned them, to keep you compliant while they steal your CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS away. This con job has been blown way out of proportion, and weak people like you are feeding into it. Soon, because no one is working to pay taxes, you will have to fend for yourself. I would say good luck with that, but I don’t know nor care about you. You deserve what you get. I CARE about my FREEDOMS and My Rights, to provide and survive for me and mine. I hope you live in Cali, where ONLY 250 people have died, supposedly from the evil virus. Keep in mind if they did in a car accident but have been exposed to covid, cause of death is still covid. Tell me about YOUR options and I will prove that they are dangerous to the rest of us and your family. See, now that I’m forced against my will to stay home and not go to work to earn a living, I have plenty of time to educate myself on Covid, the facts, the feelings, and the FRAUD.
@loyaljustice1 Grow up? I am grown up, highly educated, and financially secure. I don’t now or have I ever relied on the government to survive. I donated that paltry handout to a local food bank, I neither needed or wanted it. I own 2 houses in 2 different states and am currently at my beach house but let me make this blatantly clear to you, everyone has rights, not just you. Your rights are no more important than anyone else nor do they supersede in importance. In a civilized society, we have rules, regulations, and laws put in place to protect the masses, not just a few. We have gun laws, drunk driving laws, seat belt laws, speed limit laws, child labor laws and I could list thousands all to protect citizens from irresponsible, reckless people who have no respect or empathy for others concerning their safety or health. This is no different. People do not have the right to endanger others because of their reckless behavior. Since the virus has a 2-14 incubation period, many are infected and passing the virus to others. Precautions should and must be taken. Asking citizens to wear masks in public to protect others is not violating anyone’s rights. No one should be offended by this jecture to protect oneself and others. This is not a con job nor is it a fraud and if you were an informed educated person, you’d know that. To compare this virus to season flu is inane and obtuse. Covid 19 is 10x more contagious and 4 x more lethal than seasonal flu and at no time in history has seasonal flu EVER infected over 4 million people and killed almost 300 K in a 4-month time span. People dying from Covid 19 cannot legally have their “cause of death” listed as Covid 19 unless they were tested for the virus so the death toll is actually much higher than the numbers being published because there was never enough test kits to test patients. I know this first hand, my family members can attest to this fact. You can think or believe whatever you choose, I know the truth and the facts. Educated people do.
@Suzanne you are wrong.
@Suzanne You are wrong.
@loyaljustice1 LOL….Facts and data prove I’m right. But I also realize people like you never do the research to learn the truth, base your statements on opinions or what others tell you. Education is a wonderful thing, try it, you may actually like it.
That because we have leader that can’t lead please wake up and get this guy out. He just can’t lead
@tnbrfller that is what he is doing right now!
William Jones
He can lead, but everything leads to nowhere.
I so agree with you!
@Ken Apiro; Please, this is not kids time
@Ken Apiro No! No! NO season 2. It should’ve been cancelled the minute those words “Russia, If you’re listening…” “I don’t know Putin, never met Putin but he called me a genius!” 😨 =4

GOOD LUCK with the GRIM REAPER to pass this bill .
He’s a FASCIST ,
Only SelfServing and GREEDY Psychopath .
He doesn’t care about others.
Quirky Quips
Trump talking about pre-virus debt not the debt before the virus.
They will have to prove justified virus debt .
Just because someone says it on tv does not make it true .
@jim harmon Yeah, you’re right! She’d be one hundred times more proud, of me than your poor Mama must be of you and your scurrilous opinions of the apology for a president, currently squatting in the White House!
@jim harmon No, the White House, isn’t smart enough, to take care of itself. Not all those brainiacs combined.
@Thrill Me Wrong. The fascist Uber-State (trump’s corrupt federal government) will tell the fascists within individual states, to usurp any democracy within those states. Which is exactly what he has done with “Liberate,” and calling them the Dog Whistle of “warriors,” trump is actively calling for armed attacks on Democratic Governors. You are either stupid, like trump, or facetious, like trump. What process did you use to vet trump, and place a burden of proof on anything trump related, in the history of ever?
Edward MacLennan
For them not to be so smart , the Dems sure having a rough time . Tells much .
Traitor trump is always angling to shift the blame away from himself as usual
Keeps him busy.
It’s called… NARCISSISM.. 💇♂️
And irresponsibility.
No surprise there.
@Crigglybits Rigby Way beyond that. Narcissistic Personality Disorder with Complete Sociopathy and Affluenza.
Germs have no political agenda. Wave 1.1 will arrive in 2 weeks.
America inches closer to trumps dream of a dictatorship.
Senate republicans seem ok with this…why?
@p8ently obvious LOL I thought he was a turtle? You’re a bawbag.
@Johnathan Brown he should be shot like Oswald. It would be great to see his head splattered on live stream . GREAT RATINGS .
@john emeigh yes the Republicans have become doublethinkers .
@John Mcsorley ha ha .
@Crystal Telf what?? has the Clorox messed with your little brain Comrade?? tell me something little fella.. why are you on this thread?? really why?? nick off to Breitbart you hate mongering ghoul.. your Lord Trump will end up killing 200,00 Americans by Nov and you don ‘t care.. this does not work any more. take a hike princess
When will America stand up and say enough!
I’ve been wondering the same thing since he became president he is a disgrace 🇦🇺
If it was a black president they would have stand up already , no matter how americans (whites ) speak against Trump they are still mindful that he is White First .
Exactly.
Thats what I keep asking!?!?!?
Where are all our PATRIOTS???
WHERE ARE ALL THE GUN OWNERS???
LOTS OF TALK….
NO ACTION..
TYPICAL…
@Andrew Calvillo no guns, please !!! you only need brains and hearts .
“The governors have great power ‘given by us’.”
No, given by the Constitution.
This man just CANNOT help himself.
The BizzMoneyB
Listen to this breakdown of Trumps administration
https://youtu.be/aQJWbwMxzwc
I caught that too. Someone needs to explain the 10th Amendment to him. Although it suspect someone already has , many times.
He thinks hes KING.
I know right?.it is imperative however that we reinforce how incorrect and damaging these innuendos are to our youth..they need continuous reminders and reassurance of truth
Trump is this the man you want deciding the fate of you and your family ?I WOULDN’T LET HIM LOOK AFTER MY DOG!
Trump is a sick joke. He can’t even protect the White House from the virus let alone the country or people.
This is the country that lectures the whole world about human rights
It’s the only western nation that congratulates itself constantly. “A shining city on the hill”; “the greatest nation”; “a beacon of light for the rest of the world” – bunch of braggards! “An outpouring of love and gratitude.” Believe it or not US – you didn’t do it all on your own and wouldn’t’ve even entered the fight if the Japanese hadn’t bombed a US port.
That cretin in the WH a ‘beacon of light”? That creepy monster in the Senate – Moscow Mitch – part of a ‘shining city on a hill”?
Jan Hall we were in a depression at the time of the war remember? We didn’t exactly want to go into something like war at that time when people were starving. The crazy thing is after all that, economists learned that wars benefit the economy.
MAM American are lucky that WWI and WWII did not touch America soil
Watch this worthless president should be in jail and eventually he willI still believe in the justice system even though we have Bill Barr he’ll be in jail right after the presidency is over
Throw this entire administration away. They are so worthless and useless. No real leadership anywhere, other that a handful of governors, which is so sad. Trump dumbs everything down , they are hiding information . The plan should be national and organized by the government because it’s their job, not to sit there and be corrupt.
The reporter clearly said, “most of these states have not met the criteria”, and Trump just comes back with, “they are responsible people and they know what they’re doing”! They clearly don’t know what they are doing!
A quarter million Americans will be dead by the end of the year unless America starts acting responsible!
“Forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Stupid is as stupid does.)
