Shouldn't those folks have been more independent though?

You know, "rugged individualism" and all?

Many people do not understand the importance of anything until they need it. Even a simple fire extinguisher people are baffled as to why someone would have one at home "hey, you have never used it!", well hell, I hope to never have to use it.

Quick...back to the clown car!
Trump's clown car is loaded with peanuts!

Trump spent the weekend at his golf club in Florida where well-heeled Republicans huddled for a fundraising retreat. He visited the Capitol Tuesday to meet with Senate Republicans about the payroll tax cut plans.

"We have a coronavirus that has killed thousands of people throughout the world already," Jeffries said. "We have a stock market that is in complete freefall. We may be heading into a recession. And Donald Trump wants to lecture us when he spent the weekend at his Florida golf resort."

I’m jealous. I should move back to L.A.

I miss the homeless, illegals, traffic, taxes, and crime. As soon as gas gets back up to $2 pg here I’m gone.

Probably just simple reporting or recording issue that was corrected.

What a strange time to denigrate your fellow Americans because they like to live in a city and you prefer to not live in a city.

Something could have been done but the President decided to ignore the issue. This is fact

Who's denigrating?

"I didn’t expect someone in a Texas suburb to be able to spot bad/ostentatious taste!"

"Hayseed asininity"
