Yeah…to a large extent…i mean, I’m not going to do anything risky. I’m not going to take my wife to our favorite Italian place anytime soon…shes extremely high risk…so I don’t see any point. But I will order take out from them.

that makes sense

but it’s time to stop cowering and ruining society

I agree. Time to quit cowering. I’m high risk but i am eating out now and then. The restaurants are doing a great job of isolating customers and wiping things down with the disinfectants.

No your not, image proves it.

I’m saying the image is contradictory to your statement.

I think that each state has to be aware of hotspots and be willing to keep things closed accordingly. And open when safe to do so.

That’s good for you. My wife has one functioning lung. I’m not doing anything to risk her life. I’m not cowering…but I’m not being stupid either.

My commentary is mostly aimed at folks who seem to want to keep things down to control others. The Whitmer types.

That cannot be allowed to stand.

Your wife has a legitimate reason not to get out. Don’t blame her.

Voted for him in 2008, 3rd party in '12.
Great family man, decent but flawed President like most of them.
If he spent all morning till 11 watching TV and tweeting about how mean people are to him and how his polls suck in the middle of a pandemic, I don’t think I’d like that.
You?

I didn’t like the Alinsky style purposeful divisiveness of Obama.

He divided along any and all lines he could think of. Especially race.Reminded me of Sharpton in that respect.

Identity politics some call it.

Plus there was the apology tours which many of us didn’t appreciate.

The red line in the sand which he quickly backed down from. The refusal to look at the radical elements of Islam as the enemy.

The constant rhetoric about guns…and gun owners really.

The really bad deals he negotiated.

Two pro “choice” justices to the SC.

The corruptness in his administration to the point of spying on the other party candidate among other things. I could write a novel on the corruptness but what would be the point? The left refuses to listen anyway.

I could go on and on and on but you probably get the gist.

Worst prez since Carter. IMO.

I don’t like everything about Trump but I certainly like most of his policies and his judicial picks.

I hear this all the time. Obama divided us based on race. I most be missing something. I never felt that he divided by race. What did he do that divided us by race?

I hated the apology tour too, but being buddies with Putin, Kim Jung-un and others is every bit as bad if not worse.

Yep, the red line thing was dumb, you don’t make statements like that and then not back it up. I personally don’t like Islam, but I understand where he was coming from. Nobody would ever blame all Fundamental Christians if a group of them started murdering people.

The lefts verbal assault on the 2nd Amendment doesn’t bother me because as far as I am concerned it’s just rhetoric. The 2nd isn’t going anywhere.

Pro Choice Justices are good.

If you didn’t notice the race division you must have slept through the Obama years. You didn’t notice him rushing to judgment every time there was a controversial incident involving a black person? Usually got it all wrong by doing so but the riots had already occurred by then.

Ferguson(hands up don’t shoot) ring any bells for example? Baltimore?

Your example of blaming all Christians is flawed. The problem was not one of blaming all muslims but Obama wouldn’t even condemn the radicals to any extent. Used to question whose side he was on quite often.

Pro Choice judges vote along the lines of keeping the mass killing of the unborn legal.

Quite the opposite of good.

Sweden never locked down their economy and their hospitals were never overwhelmed. The only thing they did was shut down large gatherings.

And they have suffered seriously economically.

If Sweden’s aim was, in part, to tolerate somewhat higher casualties in hope of limiting the economic damage, however, its experiment has uncertain prospects. The European Commission forecast this month that Sweden, Denmark and Finland’s economies will all contract by around 6 per cent this year; Sweden was forecast to end up with higher unemployment, and a faster increase, than its two neighbours.

I’ll give you Ferguson, but Trevon Martin and Freddie Gray should still be alive today and the cop who arrested Henry Gates was an idiot on a power trip.

They wear masks when needed at work.
Out side of work will you not see them wearing a dirty diaper on their face.
They think it’s sad that people are so scared that they are fooled into thinking that a flimsy layer of cloth is going to save them or anyone they met from death.
I tell them not the first time the government has used tactics like this to try and calm the masses. Because I remember how I was taught in school that during a nuclear attack hiding under my desk was going to save me.
