    I'm a conservative in many ways, but how anyone can think Trump didn't drop the ball is beyond me.

    He was late to the party on this, and it made the situation worse.

    At this point in time, he seems to be doing what should have been done before.

    IMHO, his actions caused a delay of about a month.

    How AMERICA can be behind any other country in testing is laughable, and that falls on him

    That's good and bad. If things get worse in Louisiana you're going to see a mass exodus from there to Texas for care. I know you're a dedicated family man, if your wife or kids got really sick and your hospitals were overwhelmed you'd take them to a different state to get care.

    Now we are really starting to go down a rabbit hole. The war on drugs is way worse than the actual problem of drugs and focusing on it as a criminal problem rather than a social one jut makes its worse. The war on drugs has also funded and started wars, gun sales and instability all over the world and especially in central america, which is directly responsible for our current immigration crisis. It makes for good TV though, Narcos, Breaking Bad and Snowfall are some of the best shows out there.

    Weed is way more addictive than it gets credit for.

    Come on man, again, if someone in your family is deathly sick, I bet if you had to you could get around a state to state travel restriction.

    Never said they weren't. But we have to make sure that as Americans we're working together instead of devolving into every state for themselves.

    I think we’d be better off breaking as separate states. May not end up boiling down to “50” but could easily go down to 10. Places would be better off for it. I think the “United States” is a failed experiment. I actually think this situation helps provide proof of that.

    It's a bit odd that you're against abortion but so in favor of same sex marriage because you and @yankeesince59 fight like an old married couple.

    This situation shows that electing people to run the government who - at best - don't care about the government is pretty fucking stupid.

    Seems to me you're a trump fan. He seems to love the government and the power it gives him to do whatever he wants.

    I post my opinions and he chases me around like a little nipping yap dog. Whenever I ignore him, he calls me out for avoiding the issues, etc., etc. Are you suggesting I place him on ignore status?

    Don't do that. He's bored. He needs the attention.

    I think it's funny that both of you use the, "it's not me, it's her" excuse.

    I did offer to make you two your own thread to argue in.
