    Trump: I have total authority
    Trump: I'm going to let the governors handle it
    Trump: Liberate the states
    Trump: I strongly disagree with what the Georgia governor is doing
    McConnell: The governors need to reopen the states.

    1. ^^^ You forgot to add that the maniac who is supposed to be our Attorney General is making noises about suing the States and Cities that imposed lock-downs!

      Of course these clowns are scared shitless about what the "Big Katuna" will do to them if they cross him or make him look like even more of a fool.

    2. 8:08, why obsessed over Trump? Yes, he beat your Hillary into oblivion, but that was 2016! Get over it.

      Why not talk about Laura "Granny" Kelly who explains all her boneheaded mistakes with "it was already a mess when I got here."

      Where is Sharice "MMA-fighting lesbian Native" Davids when Kansans could use someone fighting for them? She's hiding under Nancy Pelosi's desk.

    3. Whew. Thanks, 8:43am. I wondered when the Flu Klux Klan would chime in. Right on time, Deplorable.

    4. 8:34, what is a "Big Katuna?" Some kind of fish?

      Virus does not override the Constitution. DOJ is supposed to step in when states or cities claim that it does.

    5. @9:29
      "Big Katuna" is the name of the virus currently infesting 1600 Pennsylvania in Washington, D.C. and a Golf Course in Mar-A-Lago Florida.

      It "stinks on ice", flip-flops around like a hooked Flounder, and is way past the time it should have been thrown out!

    6. Wow, 9:57, can you possibly express an opinion without drifting into incoherent Trump-obsessed euphemisms?

      Don't answer. We know you can't.

      Too bad he's a lock in the election then. :)

  4. Me: Dear Pres Trump, I need a haircut and I can't pay my rent.

    Trump: I don't accept responsibility for the China virus hoax at all, it's entirely up to the governors except the one who decided to take my advise to liberate.

    Me: Joe Biden can you help Me talk to the grifters?

    Biden: Trump should attack China more?

    Me: maybe a random death cult kook can help?

    Kook: All lives matter except when you need to liberate haircuts.

    1. Me: Democrats! give me nanny state free rent!
