The ones in my region did.

To point: They didn't force nursing homes to accept covid positive residents. Either as return residents or new residents. They also provided scientifically-based guidelines for care and visitation. And our fatalities in the elderly, related to Covid-19, are much, much lower.

Your post is just mimicking Trump's campaign strategy to "run against" American cities. Which btw is utterly shameful and predictably divisive.

The country’s largest urban areas are major engines of the national economy and generate more tax money than they receive from the federal government. By contrast, most rural areas receive more from Washington than they generate.

Another divisive racist campaign stunt as an attempt to distract from his ongoing failed pandemic response and his revealed corruption and know-nothingness.
The blame is all on the leadership of the cities that let the riots and looting happen. Look at Detroit, a Democratically ran city that has a larger black population , and more OIS's than Seattle, Portland and Kenosha together and yet we've had no unrest....just some protests. It's been close but it got handled right away. Oh, and our PD have been working with the Feds. So, no, this isn't Trump's fault, and the fact that Detroit shines above all those other cities proves it.

That's the way a Republic works !!! Its by design !!!

That seems to be the reason the democrats want fundamental change to our form of gov.

The want a one party dictatorship !!!
Doing away with the electoral college, packing the courts, adding additional states, helps get them what they want and they will try to do it regardless what the GOP does or doesn't do !!!

Nope-Trump's not "running against" American cities. Their own utterly moronic leadership is. Leadership that does away with bail for arrested criminals. That have "soft on crime" DAs and judges that refuse to do their job. That let prisoners go free so they don't catch a cold. That allow morons to loot, riot, burn businesses. That allow and encourage domestic terrorists that drag people from their cars and beat them, and literally let them get away with murder. That show their support for these same domestic terrorists by painting their racist graffiti on the streets. That demonize police officers while making heroes out of vicious savages. That donate money to bail rioters and looters out of jail. That allow vicious savages to take over neighborhoods for weeks, while people are being killed. That have leaders that not once denounce those behind the violence, destruction and killing.

Why should federal taxpayers have to pay to rebuild cities destroyed by the violent acts spurred on and encouraged by their own leadership?

I hope not! I'm sure farmers would agree that socialism is bad! Right?

Seattle sends $3 BILLION a year to 33 other counties in Washington State. Trump can pay that bill instead.
