    1. Yeah, J.L…this living in a so-called democracy is really a lark, isn’t it? The “dictators” tell us how old we have to be before we can drink, got to wear a seat belt (or else), not to mention this “tax” thing that comes up every year. All of these rules…so unfair! Yeah, J.L., the “dictators” should stop caring about the health and welfare of our great, freedom-loving nation and start letting people do what ever they want, when ever they want. J.L., we need to find a piece of land and start our own country where nobody has to do anything they don’t want to do! Raise your banner high, J.L., “Don’t Tread on Me!”

    2. Talk about being oblivious…

      “Government says they should be less involved in local governing as part of the third step out of the pandemic”

      JL “This is a trap and Trump/Biden were dictators!!!!”

    1. Pot … kettle.

      There Isn’t a Coronavirus ‘Second Wave’
      June 16, 2020
      By: Michael R. Pence

      In recent days, the media has taken to sounding the alarm bells over a “second wave” of coronavirus infections. Such panic is overblown. Thanks to the leadership of President Trump and the courage and compassion of the American people, our public health system is far stronger than it was four months ago, and we are winning the fight against the invisible enemy.

      ….

      The media has tried to scare the American people every step of the way, and these grim predictions of a second wave are no different. The truth is, whatever the media says, our whole-of-America approach has been a success. We’ve slowed the spread, we’ve cared for the most vulnerable, we’ve saved lives, and we’ve created a solid foundation for whatever challenges we may face in the future. That’s a cause for celebration, not the media’s fear mongering.
