Van Meteren is a douche. We’ve been on the same side of some campaigns but he’s kind of a kook.
Glad the Speaker is supportive of the order. The LCC just had to fulfill its legal obligation to convene to review the governor’s order. Not so surprised Smith and Carpenter left that out.

@FarmerJayhawk mizzou is a great comparison! Their gov. Wouldn’t do anything til to late, now a disaster state. Nobody here can really argue w/Kelly! In fact a lot of mizzou people are praising her.

I have no problem with what Gov Kelly has done.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I believe you. It’s simply wonderful how many people, in small ways or large, stepping up. Many of them are out of work. Restores my faith in mankind.

Some good stuff here if anyone is a fan of the office, John Krasinski doing a show from his house called “Some Good News”

When we were hit by Hurricane Harvey about 2.5 years ago, he opened his stores and warehouses to people who were displaced so they would have somewhere to sleep.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I remember that.

@benshawks08 oh man! That was awesome,
maybe we need a post for good news. If he has any more keep us updated, please.

Why did the Governor of Kansas band the sell alcohol? Or did I miss hear? I was just curious.

I wasn’t sure heard something on the radio, but when I tried to research it couldn’t find anything. Fake news.

@FarmerJayhawk sounds like the French might be on to something? Let’s hope so.

Some conservatives are not entirely blind. Either that, or they are throwing Trump under the bus as he has done with so many others.

Now I guess this thread needs to be called “Differentiating fact from opinion from Satire on COVID-19”
-
Good practice for everyone.

Sadly guys heard on a radio station in Iowa that is with ABC.

Well to be fair he was was dealing with an impeachment trial at the time. Lol I think from what I’m seeing, a lot of leaders dragged their feet in the beginning when it came to the coronavirus. Most likely They didn’t know what they were dealing with. As China wasn’t forthcoming with much needed info soon enough. However have to Give the president major credit, in that he shut down the borders and air travel pretty fast.

@bskeet Thanks for posting about thebulwark.com. I wasn’t familiar with it, but recognize Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol’s names. I not only read the article you linked, but the others shown on the side of it. This seems like a pretty trust-worthy site and it is encouraging to see some well known conservatives presenting facts instead of the kool-aide.

No surprise that China and other countries without a free press are concealing and underreporting illness and death due to COVID-19. People criticize the press here for reporting the numbers out, but you can see where not having a free press allows this type of thing to be concealed.
-
I heard CDC revised their estimates on asymptomatic transmission to be between 25% and 35% of transmissions. Trying to find a link.
-
Also heard today the CDC is now saying it might be best if EVEYONE wears masks, just about a week ago they were saying don’t wear masks. - this kind of wiffle/waffle isn’t doing us any good

Not everyone is buying the excuses and revisionist history.

@BShark One explanation for a large mysterious increase in deaths that do not seem to be coronavirus related is “suffocation suicide” – people dying from keeping their heads in the sand.

You ever ask yourself why I defend presidents regardless of party. Sure they get elected on their party. Maybe I’m a sucker, but when they step in that position. It changes them. They are the ruler of the free world, and they so want to badly to do the right thing. Sorry friend I don’t buy into your Trump hate.
-
Let’s be honest with each other @bskeet you have never voted for a Republican? Why? I mean anybody with half a brain can see the Dem party doesn’t care about black Americans. Again let’s be honest? No where in history has the Dem party done anything for the black American. None? So why keep voting for a party that runs their elections like it’s some kind of plantation?
-
Think about it @bskeet? Notice it’s always how racist the rep party is, but it’s never, this is what the Dem party has done for the black American. Ever wonder why?
-
Please anybody tell me what the Dem party has done for the black American.
-
@bskeet i never hear a black American saying the Dem party did this for me and my family. Never. It’s always the reps are racist.
-
That political post on social media or a chat room changed my mind… said no one ever. I always try to agree to disagree (I do fail at it at times) like I did with @approxinfinity about news outlets these days. We see it differently, but I still like @approxinfinity and respect him. I agree with @justanotherfan that free press is important, but we wouldn’t argue for a week if I didn’t. @DoubleDD you are a republican, nothing wrong with that. Most on here are Democrats, that’s fine too. It’s not hard to find dirt on either party. Let’s move on friends.

My friend I’m no Republican but I respect what you posted. It’s your thoughts and feelings. It’s crazy I know! But I don’t blame Presidents I blame Congress.
-
@DoubleDD Congress is an issue right now because they would have to issue a nationwide stay at home. The president doesn’t have that power.
-
@bskeet the problem with Trump is he divides. I’d vote against him in a heart beat, but Dem party and it’s voters gave us Biden a man losing his mind and Sanders a full blown socialist. Tell me how I’m supposed to vote one of these over Trump?
-
@kjayhawks i know you don’t vote party line tickets. Your like me if you don’t know then you don’t vote.yet some posters on here Believe you. Have to vote Dem no matter what. Because reps are racist. Yet with a quick study of history we find the Dems are racist. Prove me wrong posters! What has the Dem party done for the black American?
-
-
@kjayhawks I haven’t yet searched but I haven’t figured out where Congress gets that power. They can suspend habeas corpus but that only allows arrests without having to justify it to a court. And Congress can only do that during a rebellion or invasion.
-
@mayjay found this interesting. Wondering how far something like this could go:
On that day, Hannity said, “They’re scaring the living hell out of people and I see it as, like, ‘Oh, let’s bludgeon Trump again with this new hoax.’”
-
@approxinfinity Interesting, but not far. Dylan’s post about stupid people cleaning up the gene pool might be applicable.
But it might be fun watching Trump’s favorite network using Times v. Sullivan to defend itsel b/c he wants that ruling overturned.
