All this just to get rid of Trump...... If the spread of it never becomes what some people have projected, the defense of our actions will always be that it didn't spread because of the way we reacted. I agree with and have no problem with stopping sports and concerts and large crowds, and even closing restaurants while allowing them to set up picnic tables outside or allow them to do take out and drive through. But shutting all businesses down, locking down cities and completely stopping everything is pretty ridiculous in my opinion. You're definitely looking at a disaster if you do that. I could be wrong, I have no problem admitting that, it's just the way I look at it.
One of the things that strikes me the most, I just read today our death rate in the US so far is 1.26% with this virus. Even if one person dies that's bad, but how much can we prevent ANYTHING in this world from killing us? I understand concerns about running out of bed space to "treat" people who have the virus, whatever that means......because I've read so many conflicting things, many of which say at this point all you can do is quarantine the sick.....and death rates would probably go up if we did run out of bed space....but it's such a small percentage, that's where I don't get trying to stop and kill the entire economy.
........and they've just made him stronger. |

Something else that's going on here. The youth of this country have been taught that the world is ending and that it's our fault, so they're very easily led to believe that the worst is going to happen. They're as pessimistic as it's possible to be. It's left up to the adults to see the overhyping of this thing, because the youth are in hook, line, and sinker. That said, for all I know it may kill us all, but I'll be damned if I'm buying into some 6-month shutdown unless it actually gets exponentially worse, which doesn't seem very likely to me. Is that why all the youth of this country were partying on the beach during spring break despite warnings about the need for social distancing? Seems to me a lot of the youth were blowing off concern regarding this.. Probably should have specified "young working age youth". I work with a bunch of them, and they're scared to death of pretty much everything except stinky beer and weed. |

All this just to get rid of Trump...... Some people make fun of me for saying this, but I don't mind.... I said months ago that after faux-scandal, Meuller, and impeachment all failed; the only thing left would be for them to intentionally crash the economy. So here we are with Trump hating China and their virus, the Trump hating media scaring everyone into a crazed panic, and Trump hating Dems fighting an economic relief package... Well golly gee... (Yes... trying to keep this site area politics free is off the table now. We will return to baseball when baseball returns) |

The ends justify the means for the liberals, and IMHO we’re seeing right before our eyes there’s no limit. Orange man bad, orange man must go, at whatever cost.

They've made Trump more popular than ever. He's a problem solver, and he's doing as good of a job with this thing as is possible under the circumstances. Another thing........Trump isn't lazy like 90% of politicians. He's busted his ass his entire life. Most of them have never done much of anything. |

I hope you are right, the thought of President Joe Biden and VP Ms. Progressive (whomever she might be) scares the H out of me I trust Trump and his teams as problem solver over the problem creators on the other side. The Dimocrats cannot get anything done. But - the American voter is fickle lets see how things shake out in October and November. And a good number of these younger voters who have alot to learn are not on our side |

I don't know about the Dimocrats intentionally crashing the economy but for sure we are seeing them making it harder to get the 2 trillion dollar relief measure together.
Ridiculous and petty when people desperately need help. Here is Trump making an effort to solve a problem and there go the Dim Heads steering up trouble 3 #$#* times and you cannot get something done to help real American people of all groups
Shame on you Pislosi and Chuckie Shoe Head Schumer. Yes Shoe Head Schumer is a good name for him cause his brains are in his feet not his head, a pain in the ass to listen to. Irritating person

Biden couldn't run a lemonade stand. Poor guy has dementia. His family should be ashamed of themselves for letting him go out and try to speak in public.

I have my say on the politics, but my guess is that realisticly, if all goes well we might be able to get one half a season of baseball.
Opening day on July 4th you say, not unreasonable. And hey, why not the 14 game playoff format.
I would like the regular season cut to 144 games. That might not be a bad schedule for the 21st century. One argument I give for a shorter season is less wear and tear on pitchers. Its just the way the game is this day in time
I beg for a pitch clock and the players just will have to get used to it

Of course the MSM will take care of him with softball questions. Like to see Biden have the guts to get in front of Hannity or Mark Levine, they would have a little fun with him |

Like to see Biden have the guts to get in front of Hannity or Mark Levine, they would have a little fun with him I'd love to see a two hour Biden/Trump debate on live TV. It's just so convenient that all of this also keeps Joe off of TV (live) and not having to talk about things, because every time he does that he buries himself deeper and deeper. The dipschmidt can't even complete sentences or thoughts. |

The dipschmidt can't even complete sentences or thoughts. The one debate I can imagine is Trump & Whiney Lizzie Warren. Now that would be fun And let Shaun Hannity be the moderator I just hope it all works out where the President gets the time to solve this cause none of this is his fault & who knows where this is taking us, no one really knows And it likely will take it past November to get us back to where we were. I see that not as pessimistic but realistic. There is alot of unknown going on. The House will always be a pain for Trump though unless some surprise upsets happen |
