    I disagree as Obama was one that helped bring the country together for the most part. Get rid of trump and cocaine Mitch McConnel and I think we would see a dramatic improvement.

    That's what happens when the theme parks close and visitors still travel.

    I have never minded it. I will probably gain 10 pounds being that close to the kitchen.

    Obama didn't bring anyone together either though (and I found him personally likeable), but look at what the Republicans (heck even the ones on this site) said about him, the constant attacks he was under, the "hate" that the right had for him. I suppose we can agree to disagree, but this country was divided long before Obama or Trump, and the gulf seems to be getting further not closer together, Obama didn't make the gap closer, and (obviously) neither has Trump.

    Republicans: We have all the right answers and Dems have ruined this country.

    Dems: We have all the right(left)answers and Trump supporters ruined this country.


    Average Rational Citizens: Both parties need to shut the fuck up and stop the finger pointing and start focusing on improving the current situations.





    Which category do you call in?

    I know which one I fall in.


    So damn tired of the finger pointing from both sides. If you are a finger pointer you are part of the problem. Not the solution. I hope that sinks in for some of you, though I have my doubts it ever will. (Not you Tortured)

    It's interesting because I definitely have my issues with both parties, but when saying so I'm also finger-pointing in a way.

    So closing the schools didn't solve the problem?

    Spring Break when schools are closed is when everyone comes to Florida. Obviously not.

    It was much better than it is now. The reason not as much got done in Obama's last 4 years was because McConnel vowed that he would do anything within his power to keep Obama from getting anything passed. Chop off the head of the 2 headed snake in trump and McConnel and things would be better.

    You mean like what you have done in the past when you have started a thread complaining about a poster or posters? Seems rather hypocritical for you to be preaching this now.

    Doubt it, lots of people in the political stratosphere that hinder the other side from doing anything, and tribalism isn't going away any time soon. Bi-partisan is mostly considered treason on your party now. It's a strange world we're apart of.

    Anyways maybe something like this is drastic enough to get people to put down the R D and I stickers who knows.

    Part of governing during a crisis is what you did before the crisis. Trump has eroded key social structures and response departments that would have been very helpful during this crisis. Trump also pulled all the financial strings trying to keep the economy goosed so he could get reelected, now he has no where to go to keep things stabilized. His tax cuts will prove to be especially disastrous as we wasted the best economy of our lifetimes running up more deficit instead of paying it down.

    Honestly I am not happy this crisis is happening, but if it had to happen I am glad it happened before the democrats retook office. I am getting some enjoyment of watching Trump lay in the bed he made rather than being able to stand on the sidelines and throw shit at the next administration.
