`LIBERATE!’: Trump pushes states to lift virus restrictions

By Zeke Miller and Matt Sedensk, AP, April 17, 2020:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump urged supporters to “LIBERATE” three states led by Democratic governors Friday, apparently encouraging the growing protests against the stay-at-home restrictions aimed at stopping the coronavirus.

A day after laying out a road map to gradually reopen the crippled economy, Trump took to Twitter with the kind of rhetoric some of his supporters have used in demanding the lifting of the orders that have thrown millions of Americans out of work.

“LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” “LIBERATE VIRGINIA,” he said in a tweet-storm in which he also lashed out at New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for criticizing the federal response. Cuomo “should spend more time `doing’ and less time `complaining,’” the president said.

Responding to pleas from governors for help from Washington in ramping up testing for the virus, Trump put the burden back on them: “The States have to step up their TESTING!”

Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to see businesses reopen quickly and claimed earlier this week that he possesses total authority over the matter, even though the lockdowns and other social-distancing measures have been imposed by state and local leaders, not Washington.

On Thursday, the president detailed a three-step set of guidelines for easing restrictions over a span of several weeks in places that have robust testing and are seeing a decrease in COVID-19 cases, assuring the nation’s governors: “You’re going to call your own shots.”

Some states did take some of the nation’s first, small steps toward loosening restrictions.

In Florida, GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis gave the green light for municipalities to reopen beaches and parks if they can do so safely. In Texas, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said stores can begin selling curbside, nonessential surgery can resume and state parks can reopen.

New data show covid deaths are lower than feared (or hoped for) … Why do Democrats want higher death rates.?..

Leftist Logic: More death and misery lowers Trump’s re-election odds.

We should be thankful it’s not 1941. Today’s Leftists would be in the tank for the Nazis and we’d all be speaking German today.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, the outspoken socialist, referred to Christianity as a ‘ridiculous superstition.”

DEM never miss an opportunity to push their ideology.
DEM shut downs are ideologically driven.

The ONLY reason that she can open her stupid, ugly mouth and speak so freely is because of Christianity and its legacy in the west but being a leftist moron she is far too stupid to know that.

Governors, like everyone else, come in three categories, those who make things happen, those who watch what happens, and those who wonder what the hell happened.

Here in TX, Governor Abbott is making things happen by taking the bull by the horns, so to speak.

Joseph McCarthy would be rolling about in his grave as not only was he correct but he underestimated the infiltration by probably by 90%.

The conclusion that appears to be emerging from the metadata samples in Korea and Germany and Italy is that while CCP Virus is far more infectious than the flu it is substantially less lethal. The proper response now appears to be reasonable social distancing, the wearing of appropriate masks, and the isolation of those who are most susceptible: the elderly and people with impaired immune systems and underlying conditions. That is all that is required. It is not necessary to close down an entire economy or otherwise interrupt lives.

These stories appeared in the UK’s Daily Wail today and to tell the truth gained a largely disparaging response in the comment columns. This was by me at least, the expected result.

It works this way, UK is now a police state bound hand and foot to the dictat of the political elite who have proved this last six weeks they cannot organize a booze up in a brewery regarding equipping our medical professionals with the kit they need – from UK sources. Globalisation has put the kybosh on that concept.They rely on our police aided by the MSM to enforce this lethal lockdown which they hope will cover their backsides..

Yes, some in the press question government incompetence, but none question why it is that over three weeks ago, Boris Johnson refused to close the borders giving no published reasons and today we still have over 15,000 people a day stepping off planes and walking straight through the non existent “inspections” at our airports.

We have the situation at Dover too where untested illegal economic gimmigrants are actually picked up by our lifeboats and official Border Force cutters and instead of being returned to French ports with their covid, measles, aids, scabies, TB and other third world afflictions are brought straight to Dover where they expect to be treated doing the work of the criminal migrant smuggling gangs for them. The figures for this outrage are 400% up on the same period last year at over 800 persons. The press remain silent as do all the political class except the MP most affected.

We’re paying the French millions each year to maintain the border fences around the French ports, plus all the costs of drones with sea and land patrols to ensure nothing like what is happening happens. They take our money while they smirk. We cannot sit down now in some UK parks because police have taped off the seats or they will book you for “sitting too long” if they have not.

The sight of Americans on their streets with their guns ignoring “social distance rules” demanding the right to be responsible for their own fortunes by returning to their jobs despite the known risks fills most Brits with several impressions, most of them unflattering. This is now so ingrained in too many here, the chasam of misunderstanding is too wide to be bridged.

We have an all prevailing nanny state where dorks know best, the concept of personal responsibility and standing on your own two feet has been allowed to die because for seventy years the country has been subjected to race replacement by immigration involving people dependent on the largess of others, {State appropriation by confiscation}. Social control through socialism thrives in such societies.

This is where we are and it makes you tug at your own hair.
