Funny, you are all about keeping the 1% accountable and for the lower and middle class to take back power... and that the Powers that be are robbing the rest of the classes of wealth and so on... yet- this stunt in Michigan has Koch foundation all over it.

I have to admit I had to look up Koch Foundation as I didn't know who they were. A charitable foundation. I don't get it. Is there something bad about them?

But apparently we do. Lots of people can't manage to do the right thing on their own.

Look up the Koch brothers.

One of them is dead right? One down one to go.

Another useless start to a press conference that has nothing to do with the pandemic from the most useless human being on the planet

Hard to guard against those people. Seeing them going into illegal nightclubs was just bizarre.

A loathsome pair of siblings who created support all manner of right-wing neo-fascist groups. A couple of their brands are Georgia Pacific and Dixie paper products.

So what is so sinister about people wanting to go back to work to provide for their families and save their jobs and businesses? They're not in the high risk group.

Yeah- their AstroTurf campaigns are truly disgusting. That Michigan Conservative Coalition was influenced a lot by the Koch brothers and they are the ones behind this insane and selfish movement of reopening...

what is sinister is the campaign and the origins of it are not the will of the people... they are being manipulated by those that have no interest in the lives at stake, only in their hedge fund portfolios...

Well, they’re all fired then!

As a further proof of Trump's stupidity, if we needed any, is that the 200-person advisory committee that Trump is setting up is meant to be a rubber-stamp for his actions as well as a public image ploy, many of those who he had named as being on there, were totally unaware of it. but Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are. All is well.

Jason Kenney, seemingly following Trump's lead, has been bashing Dr. Tam (and Health Canada, in general) and saying that they want to bring in meds like Hydroxychloroquine, regardless of what Health Canada says about it. Truly terrifying...

Understood. You've opened my eyes to what may be happening behind the scenes. I don't have a lot of knowledge of U.S. politics (or any politics for that matter). Politicians are not my favorite people.

I sincerely thought this was a grass roots protest from regular folks wanting to go back to work.

You gotta find someone to blame when your administration is flubbling its response to a crisis- that's a page from the Trump playbook.

Without the federal boogey man people are unhappy with him so back to playing the only card he has.

Most of those people protesting thought so too. Don't feel bad, it takes extreme scrutiny to see though astroturf campaigns nowadays
