Strict 'Stay-at-Home' Orders Spur Protests Across the Nation
"Quarantine is when you restrict movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people," said protest organizer Meshawn Maddock. "Every person has learned a harsh lesson about social distancing. We don’t need a nanny state to tell people how to be careful."

He was hoping he didn't have to endorse Sleepy Creepy Joe. Obama was rooting for Bernie.
I don't engage with CPL2010. It's a waste. so I'm glad you brought this back so I can remind you of what went down.
First and foremost, newsflash, what the President signs off on is what both houses of CONGRESS passes. Basic Constitutional duties Thought you were an American.
The national stockpile was not a left or right issue until the Tea Party takeover in 2011.
Pelosi and Reid passed the well financed budgets allowing for the stockpile.
Republicans took over in what? 2011. So those cuts we're done through Boehner and McConnell.
How Tea Party Budget Battles Left the National Emergency Medical Stockpile Unprepared for Coronavirus
Fiscal restraints imposed by Republicans in Congress in the early years of the Obama administration left the U.S. less prepared to respond to the coronavirus pandemic today.

Dire shortages of vital medical equipment in the Strategic National Stockpile that are now hampering the coronavirus response trace back to the budget wars of the Obama years, when congressional Republicans elected on the Tea Party wave ****** the White House to accept sweeping cuts to federal spending.
Among the victims of those partisan fights was the effort to keep adequate supplies of masks, ventilators, pharmaceuticals and other medical equipment on hand to respond to a public health crisis. Lawmakers in both parties raised the specter of shortchanging future disaster response even as they voted to approve the cuts.
“There are always more needs for financial support from our hardworking taxpayers than we have the ability to pay,” said Denny Rehberg, a retired Republican congressman from Montana who chaired the appropriations subcommittee responsible for overseeing the stockpile in 2011. Rehberg said it would have been impossible to predict a public health crisis requiring a more robust stockpile, just as it would have been to predict the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
There were, in fact, warnings at the time: A 2010 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded report by the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials urged the federal government to treat public health preparedness “on par with federal and state funding for other national security response capabilities,” and said that its store of N95 masks should be “replenished for future events.”
But efforts to bulk up the stockpile fell apart in tense standoffs between the Obama White House and congressional Republicans, according to administration and congressional officials involved in the negotiations. Had Congress kept funding at the 2010 level through the end of the Obama administration, the stockpile would have benefited from $321 million more than it ended up getting, according to budget documents reviewed by ProPublica. During the Trump administration, Congress started giving the stockpile more than the White House requested.
After using up the swine flu emergency funds, the Obama administration tried to replenish the stockpile in 2011 by asking Congress to provide $655 million, up from the previous year’s budget of less than $600 million. Responding to swine flu, which the CDC estimated killed more than 12,000 people in the United States over the course of a year, had required the largest deployment in the stockpile’s history, including nearly 20 million pieces of personal protective equipment and more than 85 million N95 masks, according to a 2016 report published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine.
“We recognized the need for replenishment of the stockpile and budgeted about a 10% increase,” said Dr. Nicole Lurie, who served as the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Department of Health and Human Services during the Obama administration. “That was rejected by the Republican House.”
Republicans took over the House of Representatives in the 2010 midterms on the Tea Party wave of opposition to the landmark 2010 health care reform law, the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare. The new House majority was intent on curbing government spending, especially at HHS, which administered Obamacare.
Congressional Republicans, led by Mitch McConnell in the Senate and House Speaker John Boehner, leveraged the debt ceiling — a limit on the government’s borrowing ability that had to be raised — to insist that the Obama administration accept federal spending curbs. The compromise, codified in the 2011 Budget Control Act, required a bipartisan “super committee” to find additional ways to reduce the deficit, or else it would trigger automatic across-the-board cuts known as “sequestration.”
Even in the aftermath of the swine flu pandemic, the stockpile wasn’t a priority then. Without a full committee markup, Rehberg introduced a bill that provided $522.5 million to the stockpile, about 12% less than the previous year and $132 million less than the administration wanted. “Nobody got everything they wanted,” Rehberg said.
The Senate version of the funding bill offered $561 million for stockpile funding. Senators said they regretted the cuts even as they voted for the bill.
In the bill’s final version, Congress allocated a compromise $534 million for the 2012 fiscal year, a 10% budget cut from the prior year and $121 million less than the Obama administration had requested.
In 2014, the Obama administration asked for and received billions of dollars to respond to the Ebola outbreak, but only $165 million went to the CDC’s public health emergency preparedness programs, including the stockpile. And in 2016, Congress granted emergency funding to respond to the Zika virus, but it gave the CDC less than half of what the Obama administration requested.
During the Trump administration, the White House has consistently proposed cutting the CDC and the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, which took over stockpile management from the CDC. (Pelosi's)Congress approved more stockpile funding than Trump’s budget requested in every year of his administration, for a combined $1.93 billion instead of $1.77 billion, according to budget documents.

You keep spewing this BS but currently - as you so pointed out - Red states are reluctant to impose stay at home orders while Blue states are pushing the stay at home BS a bit too far and are all too eager to do it. Tell me again who are the Fascist.
I just provided the links and history. We made the first mistake of forgetting the budget process and who was in control. Obama was president, but it was the tea party republicans slashing budgets and everything under HHS because they were going after Obamacare, hell everything Obama.
People shouldn't replace their faith with stupidity.
A man went to church and prayed "Protect me from the virus o'Lord"
He went to the pot luck dinner and preyed "Protect me from the virus o'Lord"
He went to evening mass and preyed "Protect me from the virus o'Lord"
The next day he was in the Hospital, sick with the virus and he preyed "Why have you not guarded me from this Evil?"
and the Lord replied:
"My *******, I gave you the knowledge and wisdom to wear a mask in public, use hand sanitized, and you were even told you to stay home - but you didn't listen"
Who cares that Barry Obama supports Joe Bidden. Our country would be so much better off if B. Hussein Obama, Joe sleepy Biden, ( I don't Hate anybody) Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff , Gerald Nadler, Maxine Waters and most of all Bill and Hillary Clinton would take all their Millions or Billions of wealth, achieved while being life time public servants, would ride of into the sunset and never be heard from again.
You agree or disagree with it?

Here I was thinking this guy was the head
still being an ass...…..a lot still consider Romney head of the party
I will engage to state this:
I have always been about America. All of it.
Socialism to a degree, has ALWAYS been a part of this republic (when the English crown allowed the granting of land by squatting), pointing that out doesn't make one anti-American. No more than you ignoring parts of it's history or citizens make you pro American.
China is a communist country. China suppresses all threats to it narrative, government and or economy with lies, silence and death.
I have been vocal about China since 1997 when Hong Kong went under Chinese rule. I was awakened to the ways of China as a young almost 31 years ago to the day, when the protest in Tiananmen Square began.
I have been consistent over the years on my position with China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. I'm a fucking hardliner and feel we have coddled them too much. Too many carrots, not enough stick.
Politically it didn't line up with some people I've worked for in the political circle but, my viewpoint was never shut out. I'm not Bolton, because I still believe in International Organizations and NGO's bridging gaps.
Using taxpayers dollars, to pay businesses and people to make it through tough time- is a form of socialism. Capitalism does not favor government handouts. Nobody did this more than Roosevelt, by actually creating jobs and saving white farmers from losing their property. It worked. Americans like cheap gas and food, we use socialism to keep it that way- not the markets in a pure sense.
So what part of that makes me seem like the type to throw on sandals, light up a joint and save the whales? You support all of that too.
