The political class must be upended. I would be in favor of a vote against all incumbents movement if not for the fact that Republican incumbents are far far less dangerous than democrat incumbents.
So the priority is to get dems out of office. Then we can focus on all incumbents.
How often do you wonder where we would be w/o Trump?
Far less dangerous but just as useless. A politician is a politician and has been the same since the Romans. A politician craves power and the party matters not.
"We are not all in this together." Never were, never will be. You have one group that believe in God, country, family and community. You have another group that use God, country, family and community to their benefit $$$. What's mine is mine, what's yours is mine.

You left something out. We have another group that want to see God, country, family, and white communities complete wiped off the earth. The idea that a virus showed up and now we are all best friends is sickening. That is what is being foisted on us by politicians and the advertisers who want $$ like you said. I don't care if you sat in your window and played a song for your neighbors, if you are a lefty shitbag we are not in this together now or ever.
He claims to subsidize red states and yet can't even open his own state back up because he is broke. Meanwhile red states are opening.
That check thing is weird. I still have a job, make good money, decent savings and got my check almost immediately. My girlfriend is out of work, has $0 in the bank and seems fairly fucked over for the foreseeable future. She has not gotten hers. Her daughter is still working, making decent money, and she got one as well.
Same with my wife. We got our stimulus checks but she can’t even file for unemployment still. Our states site is down, phone line are only giving dial tone and offices are closed. People I know who applied upon first being laid off still haven’t received a thing. It’s coming up on week 8 and none of them have seen a dime. Luckily we have savings to fall back on and I’m still employed.
Honestly I disagree with the sentiment. There is definite corruption, but with a better justice system and better vetted politicians having no skin in the game also prevents panic among lawmakers which typically results in some patriot act bs getting passed near unanimously (with only Rand Paul voting against).
It is frustrating to see how so many who support indefinite lockdowns and the closed economy are still employed, getting paid, or are so financially stable that they are not impacted and could just live off their earnings alrwady, like celebrities lecturing people.
It is frustrating, but those rich congress people are going to be OK salary or not. I feel like cutting their salary would mostly hurt younger, less established politicians instead of the Pelosi/Schumer types that this sentiment targets.
The folks out by me who are the most vocal about support for keeping things locked down are either retired, don’t work to begin with or are housewives (with their Mrs. degrees) who have not been employed but have husbands making insane amounts of money in the Tech sector.
Nobody is in this with me,except,my President, my,family, and my employees. Thats the new normal, faggots. Good luck in the future, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
All business owners should open up. Call ba k your employees and when thousand return to work let them come shut us down then. Time to really make them do their dirty work and expose them.
We are also not in this together with celebrities in their ivory towers who were urging us to stay home while they had their meals provided for them, no risk of losing their homes, massive palaces with tons of distractions and the likes. It drove me up a wall seeing movie stars, athletes and musicians claim to be like us while they recorded videos by their pools, home gyms, massive kitchens. I’m not saying that they should not have those things, they sucked a lot of people off to get where they are today, but they are not me. My parents are filthy rich but they never pretended to be part of the suffering class - instead they put their money where their mouth is and even in their old age, continued to donate to organizations helping those in need (with supplies, food, etc). These celebrities posted Instagram videos of them lecturing us or singing yet couldn’t be bothered to help those out who are suffering.
When Pennsylvania promised to help essential workers they shut down rest areas so truckers couldn't use the bathroom. They kept the tolls running of course
All it takes is for a few percent of the population to decide enough is enough and start ignoring bullshit laws to make the government back down. To get that requires leaders willing to risk everything.
They do have a skin in the game. These politicians have stock in the stores that are still open! The longer the competition stays closed, the more their stocks go up.
Neither does the media, who is carrying water for the politicians. The butthurt journalists who cry to the President everyday that it is too dangerous to go back to work, are all still working and being paid.
Not really true. Very few of them are relying on their federal salaries and benefits for the bulk of their income and wealth-building. Their investments in financial markets are at risk, many of them have large ownership stakes in family-owned businesses and/or real estate, and many of them enjpy steady streams of kickbacks, sweetheart deals, and bundled campaign donations from sources that are heavily reliant on thriving businesses.

Oh since far before the Romans.
To stop this lockdown, tomorrow:
ANNOUNCE ALL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WILL GET A 20% “SHARE-THE-BURDEN” PAY CUT TILL BACK TO OLD NORMAL.
100% pay cut!
Correct. Many Republicans compromised. Graham for one.

Well said.

The government is the problem and they are not in it

Yup, similar situation here, it’s a very mixed bag on employment. Know a few who got it, Know more who didn’t.
I haven't seen a dime
RECALL HIM!
This is what DEM do!
But seriously, hope you recieve it soon. Wish you the best.
When possible move out of that state!
We are all in this together is a socialist dog whistle
Yep. Now that we are al separated and isolated we are unified. Fuck off commies.
We are all in this together. Diversity is our strength. Orange man bad.
Yep.
Is for greater good, comrade!
Don't forget the celebrities who are "right along side us" in this.
Yes. They are just like us. 🤡🌎

True. The OP isn't quite accurate. The problem is they DO have skin in the game, and it's all banking on the continued shutdown.
Nobody is in this with me,except,my President, my,family, and my employees. Thats the new normal, faggots. Good luck in the future, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Yep. Except 1/2 of my immediate family and close relatives want me locked up for not wearing a mask at Walmart.
Not going to be earning that salary when they get voted out.
Or swinging from a lamp post doing the Tyburn Jig.

Perfect.
