    It’s the states responsibility anyway. If they need help, they call the feds and ask for money. This isn’t anything new.

    Then it isn't the states' responsibility. Should be. The feds should regulate interstate commerce. Funding grandma's hip replacement isn't the feds responsibility. Paying for Bill Gates's father's meds isn't.

    I’m confused

    The left wanted Trump to lockdown the nation giving states (primarily red ones) no choice in the matter

    Now that Trump has established guidelines for states to open back up he’s being viewed as a bully and not respecting state’s rights

    I haven’t looked at the numbers so this is off the cuff, but I suspect the areas/states where Trump’s inciting comments were directed yesterday are states that are close to being able to enter Phase I and have governors that are being draconian in their restrictions and motives potentially questionable

    It’s a dangerous game for the left to play ... but there’s a greater than 0 chance that the left leaning state governors are going to milk these shutdowns as long as possible to hinder the economy returning and using that as a talking point against Trump in November.

    I’m sure the leadership capabilities of people like Kate Brown and Jay Inslee will be on full display, come October.

    Just watched a massive fishing protest live from Richland. Several hundred people in all sorts of boats chanting “Let us fish”

    Would have loved to see some Karens on the shore trying to SJW the camo-wearing crowd. Maybe they can only pull that off in the comforts of King County.

    Inslee is an absolute fucking idiot if he thinks he can treat people like four year olds. The jig is up.

    Political career ended by banning fishing. Dems gonna Dem. Classic.

    Yep. States that are closed are going to be looking for more unemployment money. Feds response should be to first let people go back to work and we can then talk about money if it’s still needed.

    You’re confused because it’s confusing yet a predictable response from the left.

    People starting to show up armed for protests. Tempers and patience getting short all over the country. I guess Americans like freedom after all.

    Typical. It really doesn't matter what Trump says or does, the hate filled rats will bitch. Anyone who doesn't think it should be in the states laps is a fucking idiot.
    It should actually go more local than that. County by County.

    Washington is a prime example of that. NOGAF outside of King County.

    But they need more testing in Adams County!!!!!

    New York isn't North Dakota. Let them decide. Upstate NY isn't NYC. Let Fredo II phuck over the Catskills.

    Get your talking points in order. Younger Cuomo is the Fredo.

    when it comes to the election in November - Washington State will be just as red, if not more red, when it is over.

    All screw ups this year will be blamed on Trump and King, Pierce, Snohomish, Whatcom counties will carry the Dems to victory.

    This state - hell the west coast, is doomed.
