I'm sure it's going to be a completely bipartisan, fair, and transparent committee only focusing on making sure there is no government waste.

Let her/them have at it. Whatever angle they think they can work through this committee to get at Trump will fail. What worries me is the upcoming November election if we are still under or under a new stay at home order. Keep you're eye on November.

Hopefully enough people will see through the BS and the November election will go our way and Nancy Pelosi will no longer be Speaker. If we can flip 30 seats or so she can be put out to pasture.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I guess the regular cashiers and baggers are staying home.


Costco has a similar setup, 25 in at a time, maintain spacing while in line, and they tell you up front whats out, TP, etc,

Took me about 20 minutes to get in, line wasn't long, had to make a return, that was walk right in and took just a minute, Gas at a buck50 filled up truck...

I had a similar experience at Costco - everyone was lined up and kept distance. Then as the line was let in, everyone congregated in the opening area to get a cart Roll Eyes

Waited in line to pickup some wine, meat, olives, etc...

I love James Woods and follow him on Twitter, but sometimes I think he goes off into Alex Jones land a bit. There is no indication of where or when some of those video clips were taken. Take off the tinfoil hats people... FTLOG

I agree with Sigmonkey's observations: Those disinclined to comply with common sense recommendations will only become more obstreperous if one attempts to force compliance--even if the one attempting to force such compliance is Darth Ensigmatic Smile

I'm not certain what point you (and, I guess, Sigmonkey?) are trying to make. That one shouldn't make observations of human behaviour unless they have a solution for effecting change in that behaviour?

Luckily in most areas, curbside pickup is an option, but I wouldn't count on that everywhere.
Likely call the store to make an exception or do minimal planning to 'plan ahead', but it will keep the majority of the 'herd' out of the stores.

I doubt the have time to field such phone calls, and making exceptions will invite the scorn of those who "follow the rules."

I do understand the problem they're trying to address. Perhaps a rule that all persons under age X must be in the presence of their guardian at all times would be a better approach.

I will forgo hazarding a guess at how effective that's likely to be, lest I be challenged to come up with a solution, again

I guess our point, at least mine, is that you continue to state your opinion about the need for something that you yourself acknowledge is not going to happen....over....and over....and over. If people are not going to change their hygiene habits or any of the other things you suggest why keep coming in this thread and beating that horse? We all got it, it would help a lot but won't happen, now what?

I have no answer for that, but you did mention something that stuck with me: I've been prolific in this thread. I think maybe it's time I took a break from it. So I believe I will.

Am I reading this right? NJ governor says business must send them an inventory of PPE, which they will then take.

Not buy, take.


Murphy signed an executive order last week requiring businesses throughout the state to provide the state with an inventory of the supplies and equipment they have. His latest order gives Callahan to authority to commandeer supplies and equipment that hasn’t been donated.

“We all certainly hope that Pat doesn’t have to use this authority. We would hope that folks will step forward and do the right thing,” Murphy said Thursday. “But if need be, we will use this authority.”

Notice how all these leftist, tyrannical governors and progressive lawmakers are using the Wuhan to condition the country to become more accustomed to socialist policies and realities. Citizens harrassed for just walking around, millions out of work and dependent on Big Brother, the government seizing assets, items like bread and toilet paper being rationed, the government determining who's essential and who's not....

Tomorrow. I say end this tomorrow. I guess everyone should be grateful I'm not in charge because I would be handling this like Sweden.

Today we went from being urged to stay at home to being ordered to.(With some exceptions)

Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday ordered Tennesseans to stay home amid growing concerns that residents were not heeding his earlier call to do their part to combat the spread of coronavirus.

Lee's altered approach comes just days after issuing an executive order that urged Tennesseans to stay home. The new course, he said, comes after data indicates an uptick in travel in recent days, despite the worsening pandemic.

The governor signed his latest executive order Thursday with it immediately taking effect. It will last through at least April 14.

It largely reflects an executive order signed on Monday, with only minor changes. It mandates the continued closure of non-essential businesses.

Essential businesses include grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and medical facilities. Financial institutions also are allowed to remain open.

It is unclear whether Lee's latest action will demonstrably alter Tennesseans' daily lives, given the latest mandate does not narrow down a long list of acceptable activities. Outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, swimming and other recreational sports are still allowed, as long as individuals aren't congregating. There are no limitations on Tennesseans' ability to drive anywhere.

I have a whole list of words I have learned from my decade on this forum. One that seems particularly germane to our collective predicament, and one that describes my visit to Home Depot today, is:

Insouciance: Casual lack of concern; indifference.

If I didn’t have a cockroach problem in a property to deal with, I wouldn’t be there myself. Lots of people congregating in the store.
