Curious if anyone knows what Trump means by āLiberate Michigan,ā āLiberate Virginia, and save your great 2nd amendment. It is under siege!ā and āLiberate Minnesota!ā Iām trying to keep an open mind but I guess I donāt get the context or message being sent here?

Somewhere between idiotic and revolutionary / treasonous.
-
@approxinfinity I just canāt figure out what it even means. Like, there are only so many definitions and connotations for the word āliberate.ā Is he saying those states need to open now? Is he saying they need to remove their governors? Itās just so unclear to me that I was hoping someone who thinks differently than me could give me a hand in figuring it out.
And does Virginia have some amendment undoing the 2nd amendment that I havenāt heard about?
-
Heās talking about the 2nd amendment in Virginia because of the recent gun rally in Richmond, playing to fears of his base that the Democratic state congress and democratic governor are going to take away their guns. Never miss an opportunity to incite your gun-toting base in the middle of a pandemic. You can see where his head is.
When Gov Northam gets shot because some idiot heard something different maybe we can finally acknowledge that Trump is a disaster.

@bskeet Titoās vodka had to put out a statement telling people their vodka didnāt!
-
@benshawks08 arenāt these the states protesting today or yesterday?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes. That is clearly the connection (along with democratic governors). But I still donāt get how yesterday itās up to the governors to decide how and when to open their states and today itās āliberate michiganā or whatever. Unless he means something else, which is what Iām trying to understand. Iām not trying to make a point, just trying to understand. There are so many things I donāt understand and never will, this might just have to get added to the list.
-
Just his states, heās trying to prove it. SOS!
-
Heās not backing the governors. Again, SOS

I couldnāt agree, Moore!
Stephen Moore on child labor: āIām a radical on this; Iād get rid of a lot of these child labor laws. I want people starting to work at 11, 12"
Stephen Moore on climate change: āthe biggest scam of the last two decades.ā
Stephen Moore on women: āIs there no area in life where men can take vacation from women? Whatās next? Women invited to bachelor parties? Women in combat? (Oh yeah, theyāve done that already.)"
Weāve got a real winner!

Hereās another article (behind paywall, but just to reiterate my point). If you have kidney issues, please consider that coronavirus can contribute to kidney failure and be extra cautious

You guys that live in Kc, I hear tmrw they are going to protest to open their businesses, wondered what you think. I know cases are still going up, deaths too, still no tests. I guess the judge ruled the churches can go to church tmrw.
just canāt understand that when there is an option. My pastor would never do anything to harm us!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 the amount of people that donāt even go to church complaining about it is astronomical.
-
@kjayhawks well they probably donāt wonāt them to infect them. Pretty crappy that we are all following the rules to keep our families and friends safe and they could stream their services. Not the God I know!
-
Itās amazing how short our attention spans are. We are lemmings.
-
Bishop Glenn held a church service on March 22 despite warnings about social distancing. During the sermon, he preached about not being afraid of death, telling the congregation, āI firmly believe that God is larger than this dreaded virus,ā according to CBS affiliate WTVR
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep thatās what our church is doing, not that complicated in 2020 to stream live via Facebook or YouTube.
-
@approxinfinity makes people that arenāt Christians think that all of us that are, are like that.

Mortality rates on this disease are still way high. Almost certainly inflated by lack of tests, so people counted are badly sickā¦
However, the expected mortality rate is 2% on the disease, but currently in the states, its:
8% in NY - 19.4k dead / 242.5k cases
5.4% nationwide - 41.4 kdead / 746.4 cases
4.4% nationwide without NY - 22k / 503.8 cases
Showing how important it is that our healthcare system does not get overwhelmed like NY, but also, alarmingly high. Lets watch this number and see it go down as testing becomes more prevalent.
But this should be a wake up call to anyone thinking that weāre even close to opening everything back up. We need
- that mortality rate closer to the ballpark of the flu if possible, .1%, or 54x less deaths per cases than present.
- Readily available testing everywhere. This is not optional.
- Social distancing policies in place. eased, but still in place. This includes manditory N95 masks readily available to everyone to always be worn in public
- Contact tracing in place for all active cases
-
Dam , this was not a good day for new cases in Kansas - - positive cases rose by 137 cases & we had 8 pass away yesterday. - Total deaths now at 100 & total number of cases at 1,986. - hang tough my friends , there has GOT TO BE an end to this soon. STAY STRONG AND BELEIVE
-
And Kansas is still dead last in testing/100,000. Not ideal.
