And which governors are "extending" restrictions? How many? Can you name them?

Not only is the poll flawed - it's already biased. The whole wording has a snide implication that governors couldn't possibly really care about "peoples."

Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. These state of emergency laws have to be changed.

Ohio? Didn't they open yesterday?

The Democratic Party consists of two groups: the Master Manipulators at the top, and the ignorant lumpenproletariat;
anyone who can see through the Democrats' Big Lie is vilified as a "Rich Exploiter" who can be outvoted. The Cult of the Jackass has been spewing this fantasy since 1932, who well it works depends on how many of us fall for it at any point in time, but the Democrats have to keep the borders porous to attract a steady crop of krapwerkers, who will churn out more anchor babies, and supply their graft-master upper crust with cheap personal servants in the bargain.

Ignorance of the masses, manipulation by the leadership; it's the Standard Operating procedure of the radicals who have hijacked the Democratic Party.

One way or another, the workings of the markets will always undo the Lefties' Grand Scheme. The only question is "How much, and how badly, will the rest of us be hurt in the process?"

One state out of 50 through June? Okay ...

Pennsylvania is opening in phases; where I live will be the last area to open. In the meantime, I've been going to work, hanging out with my neighbors, going to parks, walking in my neighborhood.

In my spare time, I'm masterminding a plot to unleash a new virus sure to create havoc with the November elections. The thing is ... I'm having trouble convincing every other nation on earth to go along with it. Can you imagine - who wouldn't want to sacrifice thousands of their countrymen to screw with Trump's head? So uncooperative. The nerve.

But you've got your job so you don't care about anyone else? This is the reason Trump won - he cares about the unemployed and economically disadvantaged.

I hate to say it, but all the conspiracy theories are out the window now (since most states have opened everything back up.

This is one of the funniest comments I’ve ever heard in my life.

Coming from Nyc and seeing this guy operate for years this couldn’t be further from the truth

He was a silver spoon rich kid who’s only cared about himself and the only people he’s helped are other rich people.

How some rubes think he’s for the working class guy is beyond me.
