Our idiot governor kept the damn Capital on a hardcore lockdown longer than most other governors did in many other states! I kept thinking this isn’t even crazy MN for crying out loud! Yup. It was that bad. I had to go see a friend in Florida to escape the crazy where I live just to feel freedom for a week! It felt amazing! Came home and felt like I was in prison (not that I’ve even stepped foot in jail…)! Breaks my heart what’s happening! I come from a long history of military family.

[@mrca2004]

Oh come on, DeSantis let people go back to work, kids go to school and he was WARNED and threatened that he would kill grandmas, kids and teachers if he did. And look at all that died...what our death rate was comparable to locked down states? Never mind. Kids and teachers didn't die? Nevermind? DeSantis weighed the SCIENCE, not the POLITICAL science. But that rascally DeSantis has not enacted a state income tax and has a 20 billion dollar surplus. But I sure miss paying 10% state income tax in CA where Newsom still managed a 70 billion dollar deficit. He keeps Florida a law and order state ending our 2020 riots in THREE DAYS.

The states couldn't have violated the Constitution without Trumps consent. New Yorkers remember Trumps a former Democrat who got Hildebeast parachuted in to the NY Senate as Arkansas Klan and poured over a million dollars into the Clintons & Dems. Including Trumps NY real estate attorney Cuomo to whom Trumps donated $64k, $80k to Schumer who praises Trump on his show The Apprentice, several $9k donations to Hildebeasts campaigns whilst publicly endorsing her for NY Senate & POTUS, $100k to the Clinton Foundation co-founded by Epstein, a fundraiser for Cory Booker. New News covered the story if how Trumps NY real estate attorney Cuomo, asked Trump to appoint him as Trumps Secretary of State. Ds & Rs are truly 2 separate political parties in their crimes against us. They pretend to be to keep us pitted against each other blaming the other parties constituents for the corruption. It's both. That's why no investigations ever get anywhere. Until I filed my sealed whistleblower indictments against both parties & demanded special prosecutors. I got my wish & they started by a raid on Buffalo City Hall in November of 2019. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown was Cuomos DNC chair & helped Trump get Hildebeast parachuted in to the NY Senate when he was a Rep, or Senator. A NY Congressional member. So, there's that.

Actually, reality check, Trump even announced on camera that he was instating the first federally mandated lockdown in decades and in another video said he was shutting down all tourism, trade and cargo from Europe. So Trump most definitely played a role in rolling to his bureaucracy. Meanwhile, I look at actions not words. Again there's video recorded evidence of it. Republicans for Kennedy 2024.
