Even your local news god, the Star Tribune, has had to pump the brakes on the melodramatic covid headlines because of the real news happening such as the disintegration of the Twin Cities under DFL rule. The virus is being handled. Cases are up in spots because testing has increased exponentially since the beginning of the year. C-19 related deaths have plummeted in that span. These are the simple facts, but simple doesn't sell papers, draw viewers or fill chat forums.....hence the incessant and ridiculous drama.

Never said I didn’t care. Also if that’s your view than you would not support Greg Abbott’s recent decision to shut down bars and reduce restaurants to 50% capacity to reduce spread of the virus. So I’m not sure I understand your point?

I know you don’t care about the costs of the shutdown because you refuse to consider that there might be costs. You disregard them completely.

It is actually relatively easy to discern your position on any topic. One simply needs to refer to the DFL talking points and, voila, there you have it!

You’re forcing the conversation down party lines unnecessarily in my opinion.

Let’s see, the thread title names two politicians, you name another in one of your posts, and almost every post in the thread is about politics, but suddenly I’m the one “forcing the conversation down party lines unnecessarily.“

I guess when you do it, it’s necessary. You are always good for a laugh, I’ll give you that.

Incorrect - The conversation was about the performance of two different state governors including their response to recent events. The poster I was discussing this with is from Texas so I made the comparison of Walz to the governor of his state. You then forced yourself in the conversation with political party talking points.

I concede that it’s a free country. Even though I find your response here kind of obnoxious I also appreciate you exercising your first amendment right. (Hey look at me, I just used a Republican talking point.)

Did you just acknowledge that the Democrats don’t believe in the Bill of Rights?

Gee, wish Minnesota could have a governor as brilliant as yours.
Wow our governor wouldn't sit on his butt while a police precinct was burning. We wouldn't beg for money cause we were too stupid to do anything. We wouldn't stand and let people destroy , loot, and burn Our businesses....but then you have different standards in minnesota.
