It's all political, and you guys know it. Admit your biases. This further solidifies my belief that the political left are dealing with a internalized unhinged mental trauma from when Hillary CLinton lost in 2016. "Im with HER"

I'm watching from Canada, and I've got nothing invested in the outcome. But I really enjoy watching you folk melt down for the last four years because your team lost. Grow up, babies.

Learn to take this pandemic seriously. Millennials need to grow up and consider going out and partying outside in a pandemic isn't cool. Boomers need to grow up and stop living in denial of reality.

You can easily state your opinions without a negative characterization of those that disagree with you.

No one I know blames Trump for the Corona virus. Nor does Clinton losing have anything to do with their opinions about Trump. Trump earns his criticism every day---the virus is a Democratic hoax, the 15 will all be better soon and that's it, it is contained, we have a drug that will treat it, a vaccine that will be available in weeks, etc. Most recently that we need to open the country on Easter and we should all pack the churches to celebrate victory that the virus threat is over. It's a good thing Trump can't open the country.
It's easy to see why there are those that don't realize the magnitude of the problem.

Those ignoring guidelines are the exception rather than the rule. The vast majority take the pandemic very seriously. We were self quarantined a week before Dallas and surrounding counties declared to shelter in place. This area is just starting up the ramp. Trump, and our Lt. Governor by the way, are saying we should go back to work. Paraphrased-- economy is more important than the lives that will be lost.

Would you like Trump as your Prime Minister?

This is what is most troubling for me. The fact that preserving human life is not a top priority is sickening.

I can’t believe people are licking toilet seats, coughing and sneezing on elderly folks and law enforcement, and not keeping contact minimal. What’s wrong with this society these days? People are literally acting committable.

And something else that has really blown my mind! Their playing the prayer of salvation to Jesus on tv channels that are not solely Christian programming. I can’t recall ever seeing that.

Something very big is going on! Let’s hope and pray those of us with some common sense left, can weather the storm.

I think every generation says this. Just like every generation complains about the government and that the sky is falling.

At any given point in history there are stupid people, crazy people, angry people, etc. Nothing has changed except the amount of news coverage they get.

Yes! The speed at which information travels these days is phenomenal.

And, I don’t know if it’s just me but, days, weeks, months, and most recently years seem to be flying by. I mean sometimes I start on a Monday, I blink and it’s Thursday. Also, you would think this slow down would have an impact, but for me it hasn’t. This week blew by.

Unfortunately the older one gets the faster the weeks go by.

A faction of a population always always swings toward the leadership characteristics of the time.
