Jody Hice (R-Ga.), whose state has been one of the earliest to lift coronavirus restrictions. “In some cases, there’s no evidence whatsoever that they eliminate the spread of Covid-19. It’s just abusive, dictatorial, tyrannical-type leadership.”

Steve Doxsie had the same idea: “Drag that tyrant governor out to the front lawn. Fit her for a noose.”

“Either President Trump sends in the troops or there is going to be a midnight lynching in Lansing soon,” Michael Smith chimed in.

Others suggested she be shot, beaten, or beheaded.

“Plain and simple she needs to eat lead and send a statement to the rest of the democrats that they are next,” James Greena, of Fennville, wrote.

Chris Rozman said, “She needs her ass beat. Most of these politicians need a good ass whooping. Just. Punch there lights out.”

When someone suggested the guillotine, Thomas Michael Lamphere responded, “Good ol’ fashioned bullets work better, but I like the enthusiasm.”

“Wonder how long till she’s hit with a shotgun blast,” Chris Parrish wrote.

Matthew Woodruff had another idea: “Can we please just take up a collection for an assassin to put that woman from Michigan down,” he asked.

The great people of Pennsylvania want their freedom now, and they are fully aware of what that entails. The Democrats are moving slowly, all over the USA, for political purposes. They would wait until November 3rd if it were up to them. Don’t play politics. Be safe, move quickly!

Wolfgang622 wrote:I think the Dems are caught in a disastrous cycle now. The social distancing has worked well enough that the most catastrophic death toll numbers will never come to pass. So from the moment the lockdown ends, until the election, the death toll will grow slowly. The longer that period is, the more people will convince themselves not that the lockdown saved lives, but was in fact totally unnecessary.

Its success is its failure.

Counterpoint - 23 million people are unemployed, so yeah, it's pretty fucking bad.

That's what's especially discouraging at this point. We should all be on the same page. Don't see how anyone can disagree with the statement, "We should try to restore the economy as quickly as is safely possible," but everyone's attacking each other over which word they emphasize. It's like choosing which phrase of the 2nd amendment you want to hear, and pretty much split along the same lines.

The guy is going to jail if he doesn't win this fall and there's no way he's going to risk going to jail. I hate to sound paranoid, but it's coming. He's already got his people ready to hit the streets with guns and a willingness to murder (see quotes above) and the rest of us will want to avoid hitting the streets with the virus and murderous rednecks running around.

We really are fucked. The pot is already boiling and we're the frogs. I think it's already too late.
