Where is the Democratic leadership today? This is clearly against the law and the constitution and in direct contravention of his oath of office. He must resign TODAY.

absolutely including all those who didn't bother to vote to keep the Republicans from getting power.

This needs to be a huge, eye-opening learning experience, so we need to be very clear eyed about who did this because we turned this monster loose on ourselves and only we can kill it.

On Hannity last night: "I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing that the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality."

Let's see, 3% of 330,000,000 people would be ... 9,990,000 deaths. JUST from schools opening, and of course our children's parents, grandparents, and other close family would be most at risk. An estimate of orphaned children was not given.

These people didn't have brain transplants or drink evil juice after 2016. Dr. Oz revealed their attitude too blatantly and had to immediately apologize, but it's the same message being pushed all day now on Fox and other RW media by some of the same Republican senators who've been blocking all congressional action to stop the spread of the disease.

Does anyone doubt they'd kill a lot more of us than will die from the Republican pandemic to keep power?

Liberalism is the individual. Fascism is the state." Mussolini

“One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.” Stalin

“We need not fear the judgement of history. Who, after all, speaks today of the extermination of the Armenians?” Hitler

"the opening of schools may only cost us 2 to 3 percent in terms of total mortality." Dr. Oz

which means only CNN counts, and it has discredited itself by constantly broadcasting Trump's propaganda. CNN, et al, helped elect Trump, and he is making them a TON of money.

Few people read unless it is on Facebook. You can be damned sure Facebook will amplify this. As to the local news that people watch, I will be curious to see how many even mention it tonight at 6:00.

Maybe a couple will mumble a few platitudes about Trump going over the line, and that they are not happy with his comments, but none of them will take a stand against his inflammatory remarks.

Trump is getting more unstable every day, and the Republican party refuses to address this.
Right now it looks like a terminal case of moral cowardice on their part.

do anything are trumps cabinet along with Pence. I really don't see them doing anything. Republicans in the Senate had their chance and they let him off the hook.

Most of the republicans in the Senate and the House have been comprised one way or another the won's stand up to trump because he would spill the beens the them, and they care more about staying in power than the country and the people the are supposed to represent.

Just as when Junior was in office and spoke on "the war on terror."
A plethora of Dems would be on various stations thereafter which was wise.

I've heard from various Dem. Governors and Biden but where are our Senators and Congressmen/Women?

These are questions that Ohioans have.
