    Yes, I would like to disband the federal government. The United States is a failed experiment IMO. Let the states form their own countries the one's who want to can join together if they want.

    It wouldn't matter to me if Hillary Clinton was President, I would still feel the same. I spent 45 years in the mfg. / distribution business and decentralized methods are the best in reaction time and serving customers.
    Whenever there is consolidation of distribution to fewer regional warehouses/support the only thing that improves is profit margins, as it's the way to cut cost, but the service generally get way worse.
    I worked with State buying offices and emergency response departments and the,y if better equipped, could do a much better job on their own rather than depend on the fed. Take the fed dollars but dont allow them involved in logistics and purchasing.

    Perhaps if they didn't spend an exorbitant amount of time and resources trying to impeach our president the response would have been better.

    But that's not the issue here. No one is saying that the Feds should have everything shipped to one warehouse and distribute it from there.

    I'm sure in normal times the states would rather be given the money and spend it as they please. But in this case supplies are short, prices are high, and no state has the power to make manufacturers sell to them at all, much less at a reasonable price.

    One thing is for sure, this administration sure loves to pass the buck and blame previous administrations as well as other things rather than take responsibility. Is donald unable to chew gum and walk as well? Maybe if dumb ass donnie didn't deplete the pandemic task force and keep reducing regulations to the point it leaves us vulnerable we would be in better shape but instead we just get finger pointing, excuses and if states want anything they have to ask trump nicely (Colonel Jessup calling on line 1). We are suppose to be the richest, smartest and most advanced country in the world. In a time of crisis it shows this administration is falling way behind.

    I was wrong. Trump did mess up. He should have arrested Nancy

    Actually, they DID impeach him, and rightfully so.

    People who attempt to regurgitate the misinformed and woefully misguided "Trump was preoccupied with the impeachment proceedings" narrative are in denial.

    Look up what Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon did during impeachment. Regardless of what you think of them and their policies both were determined to show they could work during impeachment and actually did a lot.

    Pretty soon Trump will use the Impeachment excuse for stuff he did before it ever started and after it finished. Hopefully, starting next January, he can use it as an excuse as to why he lost.

    It's a crime for a member of Congress to visit her constituency?

    As far as I know, he's still on the hook for possible NY crimes...my hope would be for this POS of a POTUS ends up in jail.

    Yeah, yeah, I know, but I can dream can't I?

    Mine too. But I'm not holding my breath that he'll be voted out of office. There's enough stubborn and ignorant fools out there that believe every conspiracy theory against democrats and refuse to believe any negative thing about republicans.

    IMO, Nancy Pelosi is going to get him elected again for sure if she continues seek another impeachment/investigation.
    Joe should tell her to back off and let him do the task of unseating him. Nancy is full of scorn and it shows big time.

    Not that I'm a fan of hers but IMO, considering how the Reps acted during the impeachment, she's got some justification for the way she feels.

    I think it's Joe's election to lose...especially after he tabs Klobuchar, Harris, or Demings for his running mate.

    I think Trump's gonna win and the more time passes the more I feel that way. Probably a lot of confirmation bias going on (for all of us) at this point though.

    I hope he picks Amy, she would compliment Joe well and she's tuff and well liked the midwest. IMO she would pull more mod's and independents.
