Governor: We’re doing what we need to despite Trump

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker saya that he has "given up" on receiving federal assistance to help combat the novel coronavirus pandemic, saying instead that his state is "doing what we need to do despite" President Donald Trump.
"We have gotten very little help from the federal government. It's fine. I've given up on any promises that have been made," Pritzker, a Democrat, told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront." "I hope something will get delivered from the federal government, but I don't expect it anymore."

      Taxing people’s houses to make them hard to sell is a Communist method?
      Did you get your degree in political science from a cereal packet?
      Under Communism, the nation owns all housing, so nobody can sell the place where they live, because they don’t own it.
      Sheesh. If you want to make a claim, at least make realistic analogies.

    1. @Inde nmc Keep up with your brainwashing appointments lol what would the Fake news do without simple people like You

  1. Thankfully governors have the power to be like “no actually I’m not going to risk the health of the people who voted for me” lmaoooo

      Nah, I think you’re a bully & terrified of real commitment reading your posts. Dems and GOP leadership sold their souls to s. i. g’s a looong time ago. And there’s not a lot to be gained by waisting HSD trolling ghost YT accounts. Unless you’re actually gonna stop talking so much and DO something? No one should think our Top 5% controlling 62% of u.s. wealth is sustainable. YOU’RE not helping… *AT ALL*
      (FYi- ‘Patriot’ is in Top 3 over/misused words in American vocabulary)

    2. Joshua Phillips Broski quality of living in NY and Cali is unmatched. I live in NY and have been to Cali multiple times and spent a lot of time throughout virtually the entire state. We have higher access to affordable healthcare, easier access to legal abortion, gay marriage has been legal for longer, a much higher minimum wage, safer gun laws (and fewer per capita murders), a much better criminal justice system, NY and Cali have the 2 best public college systems in the nation (not even debatable), less of a drug problem (the only parts of NY with crippling Opioid addiction are the rural counties with Republican representatives 😂😂), more public funding for literally everything, I could literally go on forever. There is literally no way (other than personal preference) in which one can argue that Red states are just “better” than blue states. No wonder the richest, most successful, most educated, healthiest people live in blue states. We may have higher taxes but we actually have public services, unlike red states. When our roads have potholes, the government fixes them. When workers aren’t getting paid, our unions come in and make sure they get paid. We don’t have religion in our state government 😂. Simply better in every way. I probably won’t respond to whatever you have to say after this because, based on your previous comments, I do not expect a coherent, factual, reasonable response. You most definitely are in that basket of deplorables, Mr. Joshua

    3. @AbeGordon I live in a blue state and your statement is wrong. Most corruption comes from blue states just for those reasons they collect way too much taxes. don’t favor the REDs either but that is a fact for blue states

    4. Roger Curt in New York our taxes reflect the abundance of public services that I stated. Yes our governor is corrupt (gives money to big business that should be pushed into healthcare and social services) (cuomo is virtually a Republican (reason behind the large support for Democratic challenger Cynthia Nixon in 2018)) but by no means are we as dry as nearly every red state. The corruption isn’t due to high taxes, we have always had high taxes that therefore provide our great social services. My statement is by no means incorrect.

    5. @Joshua Phillips
      Hey man. Didn’t know you were so sensitive. So okay you were totally right. I hope that makes you feel better.

    1. @MrStaakes When republicans and democrats are treated objectively in the news media. In other words, NEVER.

    2. @Joseph Blow typical of RNN ( rectum news network ) what undoubtedly is going on is that infected Chinese navy members are being fed to the sharks. No one is infected ..now that is. Great job. See? Uncle igor sanders is right. He is the one who said;” China does more for its people than we do”.

  2. The blue Sky is blue,despite the Rainbow.
    “The Spin” is relevant when dancing,despite “The Twist”.
    Best Wishes,
    Repentance (Despite Salvation)

    1. @waltzguy14151 The things he says are true when taken at face value. Only problem is they want to have it both ways. These governors want to implement a police state while blaming Trump for making them do it.

    1. @Verify Truth And for what reason are all these people doing this! Why would they fake a pandemic, !??

    2. @science wins Are You Serious? 🤑
      These People Have Just Effectively Held The Entire World Hostage, Pocketed Trillions Of Dollars, Took Out Half Of Their Competitors, And Will Soon Purchase The Failed Companies At Pennies On The $ With The Money They Received.. Why Would They Do It.. Sheesh Bro, This Isn’t Rocket Science.

  3. We are being manipulated into a disaster Of unparalleled dimensions! We have ignored the expression, only to fear, fear itself!

    1. You have forgotten to add the point you were trying to make. Who is manipulating us and what disaster? What expression have we ignored?

    2. @jollyandwaylo YOU are being “manipulated” by reich wing propaganda and bulllshit artists who want to profit at any cost.

    1. In Europe they have England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. In USA they have California, Texas, Florida, New York and? Is it Illinois? Pennsylvania or Michigan? Somebody please explain…

    2. @Dan Smith Depends on what you want explained. You correctly listed one country from the UK and four from the EU, then seven states of the USA but I’m not sure what you’re asking for.

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton
      😒💬 Bush W lied about 9/11, Iraq & Afghanistan. Bush HW had a role in Kennedys coverup. Reagan dumped cheap cocaine into poor Black communities. We should’ve gave JH jr the medal of freedom. We have very good reasons for hating your guts & dancing on their graves actually.

    2. Sports are overrated anyway with players being paid in $millions need to level the sport comp field

    3. @Roger Curt yeah well tell that to the owners. Not too many players willing to take average money, and no agents would either. Sometimes, the agent is the players worst enemy tho. In defence of the players, NHL that is, it’s a ton of travel, camps at an early age that takes you away from friends and family for months on end, riding buses ect. Just for a shot. They get little the 1st three years. So they deserve what they make.

    4. Yes they are
      61,000 Americans died of the regular flu in 2018 and 810,000 were hospitalized

    1. so should the stable genius. so far all he has done is play golf and shake down the arabs. thank goodness (in an unfortunate kind of way) for the crisis. it is the only thing that has kept this lunatic from gallivanting around playing golf, grabbing women’s kitties, and surveying his scam businesses on taxpayers’ dime.

  4. Go St. Louis Cardinals..
    He lol talking about the cubs .. I’m from Southern Illinois aka the Peons

  5. When the economy crashes and there’s food shortages it will affect everyone. Do people on the left and right truly understand this?

    1. Trump wants to open the economy ASAP (has also put together a team to do just that) but democrats are fighting him on it?? I don’t understand why they would be against the economy being open??

    2. You can put the economy on life-support to maintain basic services and food supply for many months if need be. For that you need a competent government. I hope the State governments can swing this because the Federal government is paralysed under the control of a petulant ten-year-old in the body of an ugly old man who was accidentally elected by idiots on both sides of the political spectrum. These things happen from time to time, just not usually in the middle of a global pandemic. Sux to be us.

    3. @macsporan the “10 year old” is the one telling the state government to open as soon as they can. You agree with him but still hate him?

    1. Mmmm, 3,258,879 tests as of today, over twice as many as any other nation, what are you talking about? Again and again it’s these people who are playing blame games, Cuomo complained about not having federal respirators until he was caught with a fucking warehouse full of them that he wasn’t using.

    1. Completely irrelevant! 26,000 dead in our country and he’s still talking about how “great” he is. Insane!

  6. THE STATES WILL GET SOME HELP, SLOW BUT YOU”LL GET IT; THEY GOTTA MAKE SURE THE CORPORATIONS GET LOTS OF MONEY FIRST.

  7. Watching my government the Canadian government’s briefings every day and the American coverage is like Polar Opposites. Someone’s living in an oligarchy
