I am calling bull**** on this. The reason restaurant business is failing is because local government keeps shutting it down, not because people are playing it safe and staying home.


One prime example is where I live in Los Angeles County. LA County prohibited indoor and outdoor dining with very strict enforcement action since December. To the south of us is our neighboring Orange County. Orange County also prohibited indoor and outdoor dining, but they are very lax on enforcement action. I take my family to dine in OC every weekend because everything is closed in LA. Restaurants are PACKED in OC.

Interesting how data trends work.
Might want to google that.

Oh? And how could he have stopped it from surging? What did you expect him to do? Take a page from the Chicoms and lock everybody in their apartments with a slot in the door for food deliveries? Even that didn't work for the Chicoms.

No, the nation won't "heal" under Biden. Quite the opposite will happen. Biden is off to a nightmarish start with his EOs.

I miss Trump, too.
I miss Trump, too. Also, I worry what America will be like for my grandkids when they are older.

We also remember Biden threatening Ukraine to withhold their money unless they fired the prosecutor that was going after his kid. That was worse than the phone call Trump had and Biden should've been impeached right then and there.

It's also interesting that CNN has stopped showing their Covid death toll since Biden took over.

Coincidence, I’m sure, that Biden was just inaugurated.
Right. They don't want Trump taking credit for such success. Pathetic.

Months of destruction in Seattle, Portland, Kenosha with Democrat mayors and not one word from Biden Pelosi, or any democrat denouncing the billions of dollars of destruction. Businesses burned, people murdered, police stations burned to the ground. And many of the Capitol rioters were also Antifa members.

So shouldn’t Americans denounce all violence and destruction? No, Biden is dancing to a tune only he hears in his head. Pathetic!

I’m not a Democrat but I’ll try to answer for them....

Democrats won the right to remove the border protections that were put in place to protect Americans, they won the right to stop the construction of our border wall that protects Americans but puts illegals first.

Dems won so US taxpayers can pay for health insurance for the 11 million illegals that are here in the US.

Dems won so the caravan of 9000 illegals coming from South America can come into the US without any vetting or evidence of being self supporting.

Dems won and we can now stop the Keystone Pipeline construction ending good paying union jobs and the Congressional budget office estimates will effect on total about 71,000 jobs in total. Dems won so now we can go back to higher gas prices, be dependent on foreign supply again and get involved in more foreign wars.

Most important, as Dems we will return to NOT putting America first. China trade will return as we need our leaders to continue to live their lavish lifestyle. And this applies to some in our opposing party, the GOP too. That’s why we had to get rid of any outsider (DJT) that might disrupt our normal.

Just a few things . . .

You know, so you don’t have to admit another 100K people will die under your watch.
Classic ultra right tactic: Break into the house, set it ablaze, and then accuse the fire department of not arriving on time, putting water in the wrong places, and "doing it wrong."
