    Sure.

    The best thing about the lockdown is the fact that my kids will get better educated learning from me instead of the public school they attend, especially in American History because I refuse to revise the truth. Other than that and the fact that the small business I work for is giving all employees who didn't bail to stay home, are getting hazard pay for all hours worked since the lockdown. Thanks to Trump for making it possible, and thanks to democrats for being ignorant fearmongers with another failed attempt to bring down the president.

    Only to lefties that already weren't going to vote for Trump. And those are the same lefties threatened by a flag that represents freedom from government. It's actually quite fitting for the situation, though I don't expect you to understand it. You've been too brainwashed by revised history.

    So?

    Your only "contribution" is a snarky (personally insulting) remark accusing me of being "brainwashed"?

    Not a good look.:smh:

    Anyway, back to the Actual OP (and resisting the temptation to respond in-kind to your snark, because I am an advocate of respectful discussion at PF):

    I hope that these "protests" in Michigan (and other states) become kind of a "one and done" sort of thing.

    That said, Whitmer has a lot on her plate in dealing with these sort of demonstrations.

    Carry on.:salute:

    If the glass slipper fits, AJ. Just remember that this dream of democrats defeating Trump will turn back to a pumpkin in November and the fairy tale will still be just a fairy tale.

    Flattening the curve has nothing to do with seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The only purpose was to slow down the rush to the hospitals so that medical staff and equipment could keep up.

    In the end, virtually everyone on the planet must develop immunity so that's the only light at the end of the tunnel. There are two ways to develop immunity: Catch and survive the virus or get a vaccine. Flattening the curve didn't, or won't, slow down the virus' progression through development and global distribution of a vaccine. So, in the end, it actually slowed down progress toward the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Even without a valid source, I will take that pic as face value. People can be slobs. It still doesn't refute my statement.

    I couldn't find the hot chocolate emoji.. If you still don't feel safe with the teddy bears and doughnuts, please report immediately to your local university and report to the safe space; they should have hot chocolate.

    I guess being a southerner I didn't expect protests like this to come out of Michigan .... Texas, Arizona, Montana, Eastern Washington maybe ....

    Western Michigan is nothing like Eastern, right?

    It's been noticed that these protestors were trying to schedule their protests on McVeyOKC day.

    agree, when you get lots of people in a group for long periods of times, there will often be trash, and if not enough trash cans, will be on the ground

    regardless of party

    Some, but not most or even a large minority, don't like Whitmer.

    Tough.

    She will make them cower.

    Without a valid source, it can be assumed to be false. I don't believe for a minute that it is the aftermath of a Trump rally.

    All they can do is try to blame the economy on him and say it's his fault. That's not going to work because anybody with an ounce of intelligence will understand why the economy is shut down and that every economy in the world is shut down. Oil is in the negatives, down 223%, but that's because nobody is travelling so that can't be blamed on Trump either. Last but not least, the democrats put the biggest idiot in their party in to represent their party for president.

    Noticed by anti-Trumpers? They seem to know about all the terrorists.

    Seriously? You're going to suggest that the virus and the Michigan governor have planned all this to happen around the time of the 25th anniversary of the OKC bombing? You must dislike her more than even the protesters.

    Then you admit that you lied. There have been plenty of pictures of clean Trump rallies and the trash from the left... Why you feel the need to throw the left's destruction of the environment into this discussion, and to pretend it is from the right, and to make an unsupported claim that the right is as disgustingly dirty as leftist protestors is beyond me.

    Actually, the virus and the actions of Russia and Saudi Arabia are only half the story... The other piece is that Clinton removed the ban on banks trading commodities... Banks buy and sell futures but the problem with futures is that, eventually, the future comes around and the banks must either take delivery of the commodity (oil in this case) or sell it. Taking delivery of millions of barrels of oil would be a really big mess at a bank.

    We haven't heard, yet, which companies who had futures they couldn't take delivery on, because low demand has left all the storage full, or couldn't sell, because there's no consumption due to the virus. It isn't necessarily banks and isn't necessarily just a few paper buyers. But the records exist and the story will come out. No matter who it was, when they're contractually obligated to take delivery or sell, and they have no way to take delivery, then they have to dump it on the market.

    No, this issue is not Trump's fault; it's Clinton's fault.

    I don't say Biden is a better candidate. Not at all. But consider all the better candidates than Biden who lost to him: Yang, Bullock, and Gabbard to just name three off hand. There is no logic to elections.
