None of those things you mentioned have anything to do with shutting down. Why did we though? Ask your friends. they are the ones running around the country screaming that we must stay home, ordering the cops they hate to arrest those not social distancing (unless it is for a woke cause) they are the ones demanding that walmart stay open while goodwill closes. ask them.

Which friends of mine? The two who have died from COVID19? Why the hell would the White House or Senate care about them? There must another reason. Answer the question and stop beating around the bush.

Really, is that what you're going to claim now? When Trump says he has total authority, that was just a joke? How about states rights when it comes to dealing with the protests, environmental issues, education issues? Don't cherrypick the 10th Amendment when it suits you, and disregard it the rest of the time.

Which lib friends of mine? The dead ones? Wow, what tact, have some respect.

The Senate? Really? You know how McConnell and Trump plan everything with each other's playbook, and well since, Republicans control the Senate, it is clear to everyone not playing dumb.

The Supreme Court? Well, Trump picked the last two justices to tip the court 5-4 in conservative favor...so do the math.

This "discussion" is a waste of time. So many disingenuous or willfully ignorant responses...

And this is why emotion usually "wins" out.

Trump can claim whatever he wants. He has and never will have total authority. Most of us do not dwell on everything he says or how he says it. I honestly think he does it to drive people like you nuts. It's clearly working.

What are you talking about??The states had the opportunity on the riots and failed, and that is when the feds have a duty to step in to protect the civil rights of the Citizens that the States and localities refuse to do. states control their education but if they want federal MONEY they need to go by some guidelines. If they dont take the money which they dont have to, they can do what they want. TRUMP DIDN'T SHUT DOWN THE ECONOMY not sure how many people have to tell you...There is a reason some states stayed fully open while others were completely shutdown (until a protest showed up)

Ok lets do this again. he doesnt Control Anything. There are 3 equal branches of government. Do I need to link some school house rock here for you? So again, what does the senate or supreme court have to do with shutting down the economy?

I passed the CA State Bar (the most difficult at the time) on the first attempt. You are the one who should probably watch the video.

Obama had the Senate, House and 2 of his own picks on the Supreme court. The court has not flipped, even with Trumps 2 picks. Hopefully we get to see him replace a liberal justice in his next term.

Someone on here (colts I think) mentioned an article about the racism at the grocery store and how the aisles are set up. Found the story, just amazing. Front page of Yahoo! right now. Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to keep track of all this racism? It seems impossible to track but wondering what others do, looking for advice.

Do you keep a journal of all the racist things you do; write memos on your phone ... seems like a lot of work.

Put me down for a half dozen. (Columbus day, damn).

Holy sh**... I thought that bit about the grocery store aisles being racist was satire and actually laughed a bit. Yikes.

I happen to think if BLM wants to be taken seriously they need a guy like him and not far left, religious types telling people they need to be actively 'anti-racist'

This guy is great. I’m about 15 minutes in and fading, but will try to remember to finish it.

Here's the best part:
