  1. The GOP doesn’t believe in science. It’s hostile towards it. It’s just magical thinking in its place.

    1. You freaks hijack every issue and hide behind science. Except you never seem to prove anything scientifically in your petty rants. Just an observation

    2. J Bell Next time you are in dire need of medical care, don’t you dare go to a doctor. Dey “bleeve in dat dare sci-en-tiffic stufff n will trie curin ya wit dat dare sci-ince like bullsheet”.

    3. Don Schmidt I believe in science,, I believe in science, I believe in science I also believe in you besides our great intelligence is everything , I love human progress !!! 😆😁😀🤗😅 Okay let’s hear it for science 👍🔬⚗️🔭⚕️

    1. The Orange Pekoe Teabag Band Missourians that are affected by COVID19 or families that lose loved ones ought to be able to take legal action against this governor and against any politician who refuses to be guided by the professionals. This includes Trump. For all those who lose lives. The federal government should have to pay. The politicians should be charged in court.

    1. Blame trump for firing the team of people who could have quashed this, before it got out of hand.
      Blame trump for his lies.
      Blame trump for telling his base that this was just a Democrat hoax to discredit him.
      Blame trump for his complete incompetence during this.

  2. Hey evangelical, I couldn’t help but notice that your orange messiah wants to have you pack all the churches all across the country this Easter Sunday. I think it’s a great idea. Don’t let your chosen one down.

    1. @Matthew Robinson Unfortunately, they don’t read history, have no intellectual curiosity, believe the earth was created in 6 days, the sun can stand still, and all life on earth fit into an ark. So studying the evolution of religion piggy-backing onto former pagan holidays… yeah, not gonna happen.

    2. @Lynette C that’s your opinion Christian’s are self rightchiious. Don’t dis someone else’s religion. At the end there is God. How u get there is up to the individual.

    3. @Lynette C pagan to u is religion to someone else. The point is to be kind to your neighbor. Help for the greater good in dark times. Be the Shepard amongst wolves if possible. I believe in God n faith i believe in being good. Religion is another story. Just my opinion.

  3. Rachel Maddow, you can’t shame a Trumpist or Republican into doing the right thing.
    You just can’t.

    1. In a lot of cases it’s actually the opposite. The more you press them the worse they get.

  4. Excellent,. people getting what they voted for! Maybe when they vote next time they will make a better decision, but Republicans and Trumpsters are living proof that ya can’t fix stupid! SAD

    1. Actually, we did. In Missouri we vote for both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. They are not running mates and it is always possible that they will be from two different parties.

    1. @Ian Werden The USA has more corona virus cases now than any other country. The Government needs to get a grip. Andrew Cuomo is the only one with any idea of what is to be done. Trump is allowing people to die. Disgusting

    2. @Paul van Emden I watched Cuomo saying that he’s not considering a lock-down, which means he is part of the problem. It will get worse in NY. They’re all too afraid of the money loss. And this is proving why’ worshipping the mighty dollar’ is the downfall of humanity.

    3. @indigosigh I agree. The USA dog ear dog capitalism does not work. We in Europe have better health and welfare systems.

    1. Walt Schmidt and if had half a brain he wouldn’t have called it a hoax and done something other than stroke his ego.

    1. Ohio is a red state but started shutting down after only five confirmed cases. I guess it may have helped that one of the first cases, and the first to die in the state, was a close friend of DeWine.

    2. You answered my question! I was wondering if he was a republican! God help the people with willfully ignorant leaders like him!!

    3. All or nothing huh? Such an umbrella statement. This is one single governor. In what logic does that equal representation?

  5. Willful ignorance leads to will full genocide. Remember these people. Hold them responsible should they live.

    1. @Eidolon Media in a week or ten days America will be totally devastated by this virus the good news is you won’t have to worry about toilet paper because if you can’t eat there’s no need to take a s***

    2. Eidolon Media
      we need to put trump on trial.

      he must answer to the constitution.

      i propose his punishment should be exile. banishment. never allowed to set foot in america, ever again.

    1. Pack those cult member white churches on easter Sunday. Rallies too. Don’t forget those hugs and kisses. Prove science wrong!😉

    2. @Judi Gemini Just stay inside folks, 2 months inside and around the house isn’t too much sacrifice for your life. Your power, water, phone will not be turned off during this, so if money is tight don’t pay bills, just pay for essentials.

    1. dennisw64
      no.
      the GOP will end.

      time for a couple new parties, several more viable parties. to break up the gridlock.

  6. Can we all just agree that when the death toll starts spiking up and this is all over we’ll sue the governors and town hall leaders that stood around and did nothing. The people need to regain their power and run this country not greedy idiots that refuse the facts. .

    1. The Red Party owns the judges, too. However, they do not own the military. Generals are promoted from within on the basis of merit. Generals cannot be appointed or fired by a politician or political party. Illegal paramilitary groups are not controlled by the Red Party. When the death count gets high enough, they will realize that they have been betrayed.

    2. Suing? No, even life insurance policies have a clause for, “Act of God”, that’s the fires and floods and hurricanes and pandemics. Money is all about religion if it favours them.

    1. @8 8 you’ve not been paying attention but nurse especially traveling nurses are being kick out of their homes due to fear so yeah it’s not worth it.

    2. The Governors of EVERY State should be protecting their health care workers as much as they possibly can. I am sorry that some of them are not doing their job. A huge thank you to all of the Health Care workers risking their lives for us every day. My admiration and prayers for you all . God bless.

  7. trump wants to call himself a “wartime president”?? Well, how about a tribunal after this is all over and charge them with war crimes for their stupidity?

    1. david Bouras
      Stay safe and healthy. But when you are gasping for breath. Remember that science is real and trump F’d up.

    2. Larry Byrd There will be a military tribunal at some point. It will be in session for quite awhile. Many TRAITORS in the past and current administrations. It’s going to shock the world!!!

  8. This is what happens when you have a spineless President who can’t seem to tell the truth, and because of this nobody knows what to believe

    1. It’s easy…. don’t believe anything that comes out of Donald’s mouth! He’s terrible for this country!

    1. all sane mississippians should take this opportunity to read their state of morons make a page from the Jewish Torah stay home on Easter and the virus will pass over you

    1. Ask the question if the voters will understand? This will be the way forward! So far stupidity is winning.

    2. @Douglas Borgaro Cult45 has a following like Jim Jones. Trump is just asking his followers to drink a little punch.
