    Believe it or not, this is a quote from Teletubby toilet seat removing JB Pritzker when asked by a member of the liberal media why he designated gun manufacturers and retailers essential businesses. 100% accurate quote, but I still do not trust the man further than I could throw him.

    "We wanted to make sure that people had the ability to protect themselves if they needed to. There are a number of things that I think one person might not consider essential and somebody else would consider essential. But it was just something that we felt would be important. I think there were quite a lot of people downstate who felt like they'd like the opportunity at least to be able to buy ammunition, or something else because they might want to go hunting by themselves, or to protect themselves."

    That has nothing to do with any of what we are talking about. I’m asking about the current covid 19 situation.

    Evidently I addressed a vague question from the wrong side.

    I do not think any country has done a good job managing this crisis no matter the politician no matter the country.

    If that’s true then all of you need to stop going back and forth on the Republicans vs Democrats and this virus. This is all China’s fault.

    Some countries have done better but sorry NYC your own behavior has lead to your situation. Not wishing suffering on anybody but in some cases you reap what you sow.

    Trump was impeached for with holding aid Nancy withheld legislation to get the Kennedy Center funded and pushed for transgender board member positions if a company takes gov't aid as part of the package, and the democrats consider her a champion of the party.

    I have never blamed Democrats for this pandemic.

    I have called them out for trying to exploit it to push their agenda.

    This should be a time when both parties come together as a whole to help the American people.

    Instead, you have Democrats in Congress pushing political ideologies to stimulate their political base.

    Do you think people on unemployment should be paid more than what they were being paid?

    Do you think illegal immigrants should get $1200 and free healthcare as a stimulus aide?

    Do you think everything above should be extended for 12 months?

    I'm specifically talking to the point of Democrats pushing political talking points into "Relief Aide".

    Hell, to end it I'll ask you this.

    Do you support Pelosi and Schumer led relief bills, or stimulus bills if you prefer.

    Do you think people on unemployment should be paid more than what they were being paid?
    Answer it depends if they have health insurance or not. Being they will have to pay Cobra to keep their benefits.
    If they do not have health insurance then their should be a cap, if they do have health insurance then I am fine with the overpayment to pay their premiums.


    Do you think illegal immigrants should get $1200 and free healthcare as a stimulus aide?
    Answer No

    Do you think everything above should be extended for 12 months?
    The answer: I'll have to wait and see, being the pandemic is not the fault of our Government, but the weak way we
    responded is our Government fault, so should we extend 12 months blindly, no, but at least two months after we get all clear if you are still unemployed.


    Do you support Pelosi and Schumer led relief bills, or stimulus bills if you prefer?
    The Answer I did not read that bill being it had no chance to pass, so take that as a no.

    You think Obama could have or would have handled this better?

    You think Hillary could have or would have handled this better?

    Do you think any President would have been prepared for this and been able to have all the answers?

    You think Hillary could have or would have handled this better?
    The Answer, no it would be worse and here is my reason. Hillary would have tried to have a national response and I don't think she has demonstrated leadership skills to handle this situation. Trump has shown to be not that good at times, Hillary would just be bad all the time.

    You think Obama could have or would have handled this better?
    The Answer: maybe I am leaning no, do to the fact he had been through it with H1N1 and had made adjustments to handle it better. He created the Pandemic team(we never got to see) and his message would be a bit smoother and I don't think he would have dragged his feet as Trump did first two months, and had a better message than "this will just disappear like magic". Being we now know the ventilator shortage is a lot his fault and I do not think he would have the guts to have a national response, nor the ability to get the support of the Governers. I think we end up right where we are today, so no I changed my answer is that allowed?

    Do you think any President would have been prepared for this and been able to have all the answers?
    Answer yes, I do believe for all their shortcomings both the Bushes would have handled this better, for some reason they both were really good under pressure. I think both could have taken the national response and got the state governors behind them.

    Some Good News
