    So, ad hom. Stopped reading at school house rock. Look up "executive order." School thyself.

    Hey now Pres Trump, the GOP, and right-wing voters did something too. Their belligerent anti-mask, anti-shutdown, anti-science positions helped hand control of the Presidency (and possibly the Senate) to Democrats. Their actions and attitudes created such a stir that Americans rose up in record number to remove them from power. Its not ideal for their ideology, it might not even be ideal for America in the long turn, but its something.

    So true.

    It reminds me of the old saying "liberty dies to thunderous applause".

    Significant portions of the US population are happy to have their government oppress them illegally.

    That statement truly is laughable and disturbing! I mean as far as wrong goes this is actually grossly untrue and absolutely false!

    I can't wait until June 2021, and we still have this plague and we did all the things that they said to do. I'll be the first one to say: "What nao, we got rid of Orange Man Bad and it's still terrible!"

    Don't you know the Trump is a living God and he controls everything. If only he acted like a Democrat all the problems would be solved.

    It's better because Biden. no matter what happens or what they do Democrats are better because of the team they're on. And most Republicans are white supremacists even if they're not white.

    I disagree.

    I think it will disappear. The left painted this out to be Trump's fault. If it's not gone by June they'll have to admit that they were wrong and it wasn't Trump's fault. Do you really think they'll admit that they were wrong and this disease wasn't Trumps fault? IMO, there's zero chance of them admitting they were wrong, therefore it HAS to go away. Now, for it to go away, it'll be very easy, just stop reporting on it every 8 seconds on TV....boom, panic gone, people stop worrying, crisis over.

    If only Trump didn’t ban travel early due to racism. If only Trump told Democrats in blue states to wear masks, they actually would have listened to him!!!! If only Trump just shut down the entire country for 8 months and nearly every small business failed while forcing everyone to sit around and NOT work while paying them!!’ If only he forced everyone to install an app that tracks all your movement and those near you while suggesting you report your neighbors if they don’t follow the rules!!! He wouldn’t be Hitler anymore.

    That's the kind of irony I've used to from Democrats act more like an authoritarian dictator and we won't call you Hitler.

    I'm actually laughing about that.

    The government has emergency powers, it can respond to disasters of all kinds and wars. The conservatives' constant bleat of "It's not my job man," doesn't cut it and never did. Responding to disasters is what the government is FOR.

    if it's not gone by June 2024 they will still blame Trump. You remember how they blamed George Bush for Obama's recession. Republicans as far as their concern are the root of all evil. Them existing causes problems.
    Yeah it'll go from coronavirus in April 2020 to swine flu.

    From an objective standpoint you are wrong. Your refusal to do the research is not my fault.

    The business owner did not break the law or commit a crime.

    People have to do what ever they have to do in order to survive. The china virus sucks and democrat leaders have made it worse. There's an effort to recall Whitmer and you have to wonder how long people will continue on with their suffering in other states before they decide to do that same.

    Not only are they happy about it, they don't even understand the idea that it could actually BE illegal. Have you noticed that despite REPEATED efforts on my part, STILL not a single person has made any effort whatsoever to explain to me how such things are Constitutional in the first place? We really have forgotten our roots, and our educational system is just a symptom of that larger truth.

    Just asking the question has people looking at me like I'm green and have three heads. It simply does not compute in their world.

    Reading comprehension isn't a big thing with you, huh? I asked you to quote me Article(s) and/or Amendment(s) that provided that power, not to just restate your opinion that they just do because you said so. So, I'll help get you started: Click here for help.

    Maybe you'll get it right this time.

    And I haven't got the first foggiest clue what "It's not my job man" has to do with this conversation at ALL.

    You think Whitmer cares about small business owners? Pshawww...

    To her world view, they're just evil rich people who got that way on the backs of their workers by failing to pay them a "living wage" (however it is they're defining that term this week), so the sooner they can be destroyed, the better off we'll all be! Unintended consequences like those workers going from being poor and underpaid for their value (as if), will go to being poor and not being paid anything at all. But as long as she can destroy some rich people in the process, she's totally fine with that.

    it's like a curfew violation... I am sure the charges will be dropped, but it sure will scare the other businesses into complying.... which is the intended goal I am sure

    kinda like when they arrest protestors and later let them go, it is just to scare others at the time

    HA

    Then you have not been paying any attention.

    Not surprised you actually believe that though.
