    Ask whining Democrat activist where our Food comes from.
    From our Heartland { mostly Red States }.Not the Mussolini-run
    state of New York.Maybe Upstate a little.But then the Trains are in the
    hub of New City Ditty Biddy Bippy Boo Boo.

    Creeping Communism starts prevailing.

    I’m glad the president rightfully and correctly called out chuck for his lies and misinformation. Using the Chinese virus outbreak for political purposes is sad and pathetic. Chucky is merely a Chinese puppet

    My, how times have changed. Did you think it was positive when the left:

    called Trump a traitor
    called him a russian asset
    called him putin's puppet
    said he cheated on his taxes
    was in bed with the russian mafia
    said he likes golden showers
    impeached him

    So far inside the United States the death rate is barely .1 percent; and so in that respect it is exactly like most forms of the flu. Where it differs is the infection rate. In relative terms few people are going to die -- in ratio to the percentage infected -- but one hell of a lot of the population is going to be infected . . . and then get better.

    I found this to be an interesting website that helps put things in perspective.

    Well, since the red state governors are ignoring the virus containment measures, we may not have to do much fighting with the deniers after the cull.

    Thanks. I bookmarked that site. It's weird to watch the death listing change for various issues in very nearly real time. Sends a shiver down the spine, that does.

    Trying to figure out is this is serious stuff or just venting.
    Clearly this is is an interesting example of what happens when people are on lockdown.
    Turn off your media sources and play a game online. It is a good diversion.
    Note, Trump did a magnificent job explaining to Schumer the reality of his actions.

    I know you struggle with reality, but it won't change because you don't like it. Blue states do better in virtually every metric. Sorry.

    It's just reality Steve. Blue states contribute more to the federal government than they receive. Red states receive more than they contribute.

    they are. blue states contribute more to the federal government than red states do. This is because blue states are better economically than red states.

    Have you taken into consideration that state income and local taxes are no longer deductible on the Federal form? States have been given this benefit for years. Does that mean high tax states actually been underpaying "paying their fair share" to the Federal government?

    no. they've always paid more than red states, because they do much better economically.

    Emergency disaster relief in what form? Exactly what would such actually entail? Be specific, not merely general and vague.

    So, instead of pulling everyone together so there can be a co-ordinated response he is picking fights and indulging in a blame game

    Yes good leadership - NOT!

    Additional funds for what purpose? What would more funding be used for? To acquire more resources in the form of medical aid for those in need? From where exactly? Additional funding means nothing if there are no more physical resources to be purchased and distributed. Ten thousand dollars allocated for disposable gloves and masks will do nothing if disposable gloves and masks are backordered for months.

    Professional politicians tend to be corrupt liars.

    Such requires cooperation on both sides of any particular matter.
