The dude actually wished for our economy to crash. I wish Crenshaw would have brought him to task on that. Perhaps "I see you got your wish..."

Watch Maher get dismantled by Crenshaw when he tries to slam Trump's actions on this subject.

I'm a conservative, generally speaking; and I can say I am impressed with Beshears' leadership during this time. Now if we could only get folks to follow the recommendations.

That's an impressive, albeit rambling, string of words; you even managed to bring race into it. Of course it did absolutely nothing to address the topic at hand. As to "an ostensibly grown man" whining; I think your post has given POTUS a run forhis money.

Your replies are about as constructive as Acosta's "questions". The post you just quoted doesn't even reference POTUS' actions. It simply pointed out the how some would rather cause divisiveness than concern themselves with a solution...hey sorta like your reply. Save your hate.

Dr Birx providing a reasoned response and explanation of this global pandemic then the left's hero just cannot listen to reason any longer and cuts her off to blame Trump:

Hang in there. It's kind of a lose-lose. If you try to be optimistic about the situation you are classified as "not taking it seriously" if folks don't like you as a lawmaker. If you err on the sign of caution about the situation you are classified as "over-blowing the situation". The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. As I mentioned earlier: I'm a lucky one. No underlying health conditions, I draw a pension from the military, I currently work as a DOD civilian and can work from home almost as effectively as in the office, I live just outside a Military base so I can shop in a controlled environment, I am well supplied, I am well armed, and I only have to fend for me and the wife. So I can ride it out for quite some time. I feel for the young couple trying to fend for their families, I fear for the elderly who have to risk their lives to get milk and bread, I fear for those on the front lines that must risk death to keep us supplied.

I have 0 issues with measures being taken as I an well stocked, it's just the wife and I, and I can work from home without missing a paycheck. Folks not sure where their family's next meal is coming from may not be as big on a fan with forced quarantine

No that's not bias. Bias is more like applauding one person while condemning another when the basically are doing the same thing.

You do bring the human factor into the equation and that's why I hate the constant political bias that is being introduced. I believe as a country we are responding well, but there's a price to be paid for being the largest economy in the world. Stay safe and I pray for an end to the pandemic and our doctors find treatment/vaccines.

Nope I criticize Trump and am not a liberal. I was just speaking to society as a whole. Many professed liberals suggest Trump should "do more" to include quarantines.

Just seems you're a little biased on your applause/condemnation. But that's probably just me seeing it wrong. As to the US: It's an interesting dynamic to see the liberal cursing Trump for not taking away enough individual liberties.

Dude you can't get those folks to follow 8 items or less for the express lane. You think you can get them to practice social distancing. I too applaud the workers. I was walking into Dollar General the other day to help look for TP for a coworker who is running low (I still don't get the fascination with TP). I passed by the Coke delivery man and simply said "thanks for what you're doing". He was stunned.

Not sure you really answered either question I asked: If the government pays my internet bill should they be allowed to monitor/control the content? Have countries with socialized healthcare fared better than those with private healthcare?

I'll take you at your word that you didn't side with many on the left and considered Trump banned travel to and from China to be Xenophobic; I'm certain you applauded the move. You further applaud Merkle for not doing any of the things you said Trump should do. Is she "downplaying" it by not quarantining citizens like many other EU countries. Merkle is a "leader" because she has addressed the German citizenry once and said they must do their part? You cannot make this stuff up.
