Liberal logic. BO is being ridiculed and humiliated yet doesn't have the common sense to stop his childish behavior of the serial "disdain" feature.

His serial abuse of this feature resulted in one or more moderator(s) awarding Muda with 20,000 positive points. Any normal person would stop the nonsense after observing the moderator(s) reaction to such behavior.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Warns Stay-At-Home Violators: 'We Will Take You To Jail, Period'

https://reason.com/2020/05/03/chicago-mayor-lori-lightfoot-jail-lockdown-stay-at-home-covid-19/

Quote

Following reports of half a dozen parties being held around the Chicago area this weekend, Mayor Lori Lightfoot issued a sinister warning to stay-at-home violators: "We will take you to jail, period."

She then proceeded to yell at a small group of teens who were hanging out in a parking lot across the street. It was a moment that brilliantly captured the collapse of common sense among government officials trying to enforce an extreme and increasingly unreasonable form of social distancing.

Lightfoot's press conference on Saturday addressed the news that Chicago police had broken up several social events with more than 50 people in attendance on Friday. The authorities had learned that more parties were expected to take place on Saturday and Sunday.

"We will shut you down, we will cite you, and if we have to, we will arrest you," said Lightfoot. "Don't make us treat you like a criminal, but if you act like a criminal and you violate the law and refuse to do what's necessary to save lives in the middle of a pandemic, we will take you to jail, period."

...

Social events with a large number of attendees are not a good idea right now, given that the disease is still spreading. I can understand the mayor wanting to prevent these kinds of things, though it's prudent to wonder whether threatening, arresting, and sending people to jail is ultimately in anyone's best interest, since it's likely to involve a lot of additional physical contact. Government officials need to understand that the willingness of citizens to obey shelter-at-home orders is not going to last forever, and lockdown enforcers need to think critically about how they will respond.

Immediately following the press conference, Lightfoot demonstrated that she isn't thinking critically at all. The mayor walked across the street with her entourage and yelled at several teens who had dared to congregate outside that they needed to return to their homes. Several of the teens were wearing masks, and most were not standing very close together, meaning that this was low-risk behavior. It made no difference to Lightfoot, though.

Several videos of people going to parks and beaches all over the U.S. went viral on social media this weekend, prompting bouts of shaming from those who still support vigorous quarantining (even though many of the people being called out were indeed in compliance with social distancing). As nicer weather sets in, government officials should expect to see more people leaving their homes. It can't be stopped. The right approach is to encourage reasonable social distancing: stay in small groups, remain six feet away from others when possible, wear masks in environments like grocery stores, and so on.

People need to apply common sense—and that goes for the people who are supposed to follow the rules, and for the people making them.

I read that the parking lots at the the most popular Indiana State Parks were absolutely packed this past weekend, as was the Charles C. Deam Wilderness south of Bloomington.  Lots of drunken partying was reported at the campsites at the end of the popular Peninsula Trail, which are along eastern shore of Lake Monroe.

I expect some Democrat governors will continue to enforce these illegal, unconstitutional lock downs until some one is shot. Police love to show their authority and use force. It’s simply a matter of time before a protester or police officer gets shot.

You gotta give the Dems credit.  Great strategy.  Destroy the economy...blame the current leader.  Then take huge credit when the economy improves even a little from the huge hole it is in.  

Meanwhile, take the relief packages intended for small business and the common man.  Make sure your allies like Planned Parenthood, the Arts, etc. get paid.  

Democrats were hoping to destroy the economy since long before the coronavirus outbreak. Democrat Congressman and 2020 Presidential candidate John Delaney even admits this fact.

The easiest way to ensure a Depression/Recession is to put a GOP in the Oval Office.

You mean like Mitch McConnell correct?

 

Hoping a politician fails is not the same as hoping for an economic recession or depression. Obama was viewed as a globalist and socialist. Republicans did not want him to succeed in his"fundamental change" of America.

Post a video or a quote from a Republican stating they want a recession or depression.

No Democrat or Republican has stated they want a recession. As Dante stated, the way to get one is to keep voting Republican.

Perhaps Democrats have not stated they want a recession publically. Delaney stated he “feels some Democrats want a recession”. I wonder what makes him “feel” that?

https://www.newsweek.com/michigan-governor-whitmer-says-anti-lockdown-protests-depicted-some-worst-racism-awful-parts-1501663

Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, criticized anti-lockdown demonstrators in her state for carrying Nazi symbols and Confederate flags during protests last week at the state capitol in Lansing, saying this "depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history."

Hundreds of demonstrators converged on Lansing on Thursday, with a group of protesters entering the state's legislative building with guns and anti-lockdown banners. Some of the protesters wore or carried Confederate flags, while others held signs with Nazi symbols.

I kinda think she was missing the point of the Nazi symbols........

It's just one man's opinion, not based on facts that can be verified. Just a sound bite of Fake News being propagated by the RWM.
