Kid's favorite governor:

"While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms,” said the Republican, “due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure".

Those comments on Saturday provoked outrage amongst critics of president Trump’s closest aides and Mr Christie, who previously dismissed concerns about virus deaths as he argued for an end to lockdown measures.

Angered by Mr Christie’s earlier disregard for virus deaths, both Twitter uses and medical professionals such as Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, an epidemiologist, wrote that  "Chris Christie is the biggest hypocrite."

It comes after the former governor said in an appearance on CNN in May that "Of course, everybody wants to save every life they can—but the question is, towards what end, ultimately?"

"Are there ways that we can...thread the needle here to allow that there are going to be deaths, and there are going to be deaths no matter what?"

Asked about forecasts predicting 134,000 American deaths - a figure that now stands at almost 210,000 - the former governor said people were “gonna have to” accept that reality as restrictions were eased.


Hey, Chris! Maybe you should just get the hell of the beach and the planet at the same time! After all, there are going to be deaths no matter what? Your obese, asthmatic, and you've been reckless. Explain why we should be trying to treat you.

Holding the American people hostage? If we don't elect him, will he refuse to provide COVID-19 relief during the remaining 2.5 months of his term?


Have you missed that this president wants people to WORK?

THAT is the best relief.

Give the people the wherewithal to protect themselves until we get the viral spread under control.

You’re as monstrous as the tiny fingered vulgarian.

So you are under the belief that the reason for record unemployment and an economy oozing nearly a million jobs a month is because people do not want to work? Seriously?

It’s been the conservative POV since the beginning:

“The CARES Act’s additional $600 per week in federal pandemic unemployment benefits is certainly generous. Too generous, in fact: It’s caused an overwhelming majority of unemployed Americans to receive more from unemployment benefits as from their previous paychecks. In many cases, workers are receiving at least twice their usual paychecks.

“These excessive benefits are no doubt welcome to the newly unemployed workers. But in an ironic twist, businesses have factored those benefits into their decisions to furlough or lay off workers instead of keeping them on the payrolls. And those benefits are making it harder for businesses to reopen or ramp back up after temporary shutdowns and slowdowns.

“In essence, businesses—especially hard-hit ones such as restaurants, hotels and retailers—are having to compete with the federal government’s generous unemployment benefits.”

Trump and Kiid were dropped on their heads in the same way.

They are both zero sum dumb.

Who's afraid?

what's the polling on that?

Give your fellow citizens more credit than to paint them coweriing in a corner.

Have you missed that he doesn't give a damn if they work? He wants his wealthy friends to do well.

And no, for many families and small businesses, being able to stay in their leases and mortgages would be the best relief, but your buddy doesn't give a damn if he isn't getting what he wants.

And your faith that he wants people to work is quaint, but bogus.

Trump has a very strong work ethic, It was passed down from earlier generations of Trumps, going back to the Fatherland. 

Although, it mostly applies to others and not to him.

His favorite saying on the subject is: Arbeit macht frei

No, its political hacks trumpeting that cautious line - they feel they need to - in order to not be at all supportive of their foe.  Most citizens want things open - and yes, knowing the risk.
