"Again, they are protecting your rights as an American. You should be thanking them"


I will have to disagree with you on this one. I ask you what is the purpose of the guns. Covid-19 does not give a dam if you your a far right, left or middle thinking. I attacks all with no regard to politics. I'm just amazed at those who refuse to believe science. Lets just pretend everyone goes back to work tomorrow, do you really think the virus will just shutdown on it's own. There is no cure for this virus and there many things we do not know about this virus. I'm may be bored staying at home all day but it is well worth for me to stay safe and virus free. Death by Covid-19 is not pleasant experience and I will do everything in my power to avoid that experience. My duty is to live my life as long as possible. A guy with a gun on the capital steps protesting the right to infect others is a idiot of the highest order. His gun will not protect him from this virus. Only common sense will and he is clearly lacking that trait.

There are a lot of mixed messages out there. For one, here in California, the news media suggests that family members should consider taking their loved ones out of nursing home, but in Michigan, they are banning family to family visitation? Many people just want to survive, that's it.

Did you hear what the lady say at the very beginning of the video? She said, "My husband is on unemployment unwillingly for the first time, we want to go back to work."

Look, I have a lot of friends who think like they do. Just because you and I don't agree with them, doesn't mean they are your enemies, they are still your fellow Americans. They are also the people will pick up a weapon to defend their fellow Americans. These people are not the enemies!!! Probably you shouldn't demonize them just because you don't agree with them. Many cannot work at home, many cannot afford staying home for long. How about that? do you have a solution for them?
Since this started, every time I've seen Garcetti give a speech or be interviewed he has (much moreso than when i've seen him in the past) had an incredibly smug look on his face.

I think Mayor Yoga Pants is getting immense enjoyment out of the control he's exerting.

How is that relevant to individuals currently ignoring reality, given what is currently known?

If you want to play that game, it wasn’t Democrats selling off stocks while concurrently lying to the public about the virus, “bro”.

Is anyone here really surprised that New York state would be hit hard? If you were was it because government didn't tell you what to think because you cannot think for yourself?

IME, riding the subway in NYC was a cleaner. easier, and more enjoyable experience when Bloomberg was mayor than it has been under DeBlasio.

Explain to me what is known? That is if we take precautions between 100k-240k will die or is it the 60k that same person said later on?

LMAO If you think that democrats weren't selling off stocks then you must think they are imbeciles. They look after themselves quite well and that you don't see that is on you, bro.
Again the 2 faced democrats were saying it's okay to be out and about then they reversed themselves by criticizing Trump with made up garbage. They are hypocrites.

Post something else so I can make fun of your posts more.

Always good to hear from someone who was there. Horrible conditions New Yorkers have to put up with. I've chatted with someone on the MTA and he doesn't speak highly on the current leadership.

Edit: senators on both sides sold stocks, which I find disgusting. Three republican senators and one democratic senator.

What is known is the means through which the virus is most commonly transmitted and what precautions limit said transmission.

What are you making fun of exactly; reality?

Truly hilarious. Hurr-durr, “owning libs”.

Just the right wingers? What about the left wingers? Why not admit both sides are the problem? https://youtu.be/9lhmy-KlaI8
