Trump has been doing a poor job and needs to improve.

I think Trump is being very smart, letting the groundswell against the blue-state dictators build, while extolling the benefits of letting the people re-start their economy. At the same time, he needs to both remain prudent and be seen acting prudent, while he forces his public medical clowns toward reality. People who have not been following the details of the WuFlu obsessively, or who are natural worriers, legitimately want to see that actual dangers are being addressed.

Trump, and the people, will profit hugely from this dual process in a November. That's my estimate, anyway.

Principle:
Democrats/Leftists always -- always! -- overreach. There are no exceptions to this proven proposition.

Corallary:
Democrats/Leftists will continue to overreach until they are stopped ... most often by force, the only thing Democrats/Leftists understand and respect.

Scratch a liberal and the inner Nazi begins to show...

This was very shrewed of Donald Trump to put the proceedings in the hands of the governors. Enough will remember the left’s facist actions in November to make a difference.

......in a remarkable departure, a number of Democrats defected from Nancy Pelosi’s $3 trillion spending bill stunt.

Were the two recent congressional elections of Republicans in solid Democrat states a hint that a huge red wave is building against them?

Perhaps Democrat’s internal polls are a bit frightening?

Repub’s two Congressional wins in (gasp) Commiefornia and Democrat Wisconsin were strengthened
by Trump’s slaughter of Biden in a presidential primary vote.

Plus a Repub pickup of a Cali statehouse seat.

Four for four aint bad.......chuckle.

The dem’s Nazi Covidictator governors are losing support among their Shelter and Cower voters each day.

Also, those states are losing billions of $’s in lost Sales tax as we don’t shop much anymore.

As we don’t drive much anymore, the hidden sales tax per gallon in each state “ain’t” there.

We live on a culdesac with 14 homes and close to 50 vehicles in this one street. Some days, the only vehicle traffic comes from the UPS, Fedex and Prime vehicles delivering what we ordered. The UPS driver is working from about 6 am to 6 pm with his business increasing everyday.

I have joked with him and the Prime drivers, that we would rent our driveway out to their company for overnight. They laugh and say, “When they pull into their distribution centers, their delivery vehicles are being loaded with the deliveries for the next day.

There are 6 college age kids at home with their cars in their parents’s driveway’s or on the street where we live. The college kids are walking or riding their bikes.

Most of the families here, are like us, they have not bought any gas since the shelter and cower rules came in March.

We got a Call from Triple A telling us to start our vehicles once a week and to call them if our vehicles don’t start. We have been Triple A customers for 59 years, and we have never received a call like that.

So the Covidictor governors are watching their sales tax $’s drop like rock. Their so called non essential tax payers have no income, so they will not be paying this quarter unless they can open up.

Eventually, these Covidictors will have to stop buying votes from their beloved illegals, drug addicts and other permanent unemployed scum.

They are certainly giving the opposition significant issues to run against them.

Vote Leftist; Get More Lock-outs and Shut-downs. Ain’t Socialism Grand!

I know...it’s truly awful to see how many people have been panicked into the left because they think the state will “protect” them.

But that’s no accident. There was a very good article in the WSJ about a well-respected doctor and researcher who does not think the lockdown was the way to go, offers firm statistics and evidence on behalf of his position - and keeps having his media appearances and writing taken down immediately by social and broadcast media. So the only thing people have been allowed to hear as the official (Fauci) position is panic and doom.

I’ll vote for Trump again too, but I really think by letting this go on...which he is doing because it is his state of emergency that is allowing the governors to go crazy ... he’s doing himself and us no favors. A lot of people, unless they get more support, just won’t bother to vote...and between that and the massive cheating, the Dems will win again.

National emergency is watered down. Governors are the ones who gets to call the shots. Even if President Trump tried to do things himself, Democrats would accuse him of being a dictator. So he lets the Governors do the dirty work themselves.

“We got a Call from Triple A telling us to start our vehicles once a week and to call them if our vehicles don’t start.”

That’s probably because of the 10% ethanol in pump gas nowadays.

It’s ok if the dar is driven regularly and fresh gasoline (+ corn alcohol) flows through the induction system.

But, it it sits long enough, that ethanol oxidizes metal or polymer induction fuel components, makes flakey residue. Not good.

That’s why lawn equipment, ORVs, boat motors, etc. often won’t start after sitting during the off season, and require carb disassembly and cleaning or rebuild or replacement. Always use non-oxygenated (no corn alcohol) gasoline in those!

Once the campaigns get rolling, the Democrats are going to have to defend these indefensible positions. It should be fun.

Well, more nicely called “cultural Marxism”.

Then, more nicely called “socialism”.

Then, more nicely called “progressivism”.

Not here in Illinoisistan.

Wisconsin opened the other day, and Iowa has been open throughout the whole plague.

Yesterday the networks were showing a PSA of a really sheepish Governor Fatfcuk telling Illinoisan's here in the tri-state area to "be cool" and take it easy if you're planning on doing any of that free people chit this weekend.

Gotta be tough to try and sell that line of horsechit when your own family tells you to pound sand and takes off on you and leaves the state during the lockdown.

If it wasn't so sad it would be hilarious.

Dumbazz democrats.

Gov (W)Hitler doesn’t care if she antagonizes the “rubes”, the “gun nuts” and the “Islamophobes”.

Having a bearded imam open her briefing with Islamic `prayer’ was an “in your face!” to all of the above. The imam denouncing her critics as “haters” was icing on the falafel.

Lame Duck Wolf is probably more dangerous than Whitler as he cracks down out of pure spite, but I had relatives in western PA; not one did not own guns. PA is honeycombed by the Appalachians and most of the state is sorta wild & wooly; why did they dig all those tunnels for the Turnpike?

When James Carvile called PA “Pittsburgh to the west and Philly to the east, with Alabama in between”, he did not mean it as a complement.

If PDJT supports Federalism and allows states to handle their own matters in order to hatch out these petty tyrants, he’s delivered yet another master stroke.

I’ve been saying this for a few days now. I predict this is going to backfire spectacularly on the Donkeys come November. Just wait until residents of states like Pennsylvania and Michigan and Wisconsin, etc see people in red states going to work, earning money and going out to have fun as normal while they’re still stuck in lockdown.

The problem for them is, how do you hide it when they see people in other states living normal lives? Last weekend I went to the public outdoor gun range. This morning I got up early and took my buddy (my black lab) for a hike.

Now imagine several more months of lockdown for them like some of the fascist Donkeys are proclaiming....
