(17,091 posts)EVERY time they call for OPENING up they should be reminded of GOVERNMENT is NOT open. That's my thoughts!

(17,091 posts)What would their answer be for NOT opening Gov. offices? I mean ALL including the White House!

(94,810 posts)...part of the problem is that DC Government still limits non-essential work.

(17,091 posts)WHY is DC Government different from ALL other industries? I'm saying IF the GOVERNMENT can't open, NOBODY should be opening up until it's safe to do so!

(94,810 posts)...STATE and LOCAL jurisdictions make the decisions. In the case of the IRS, the DC (local) Government decides when it's safe. Republicans will simply say that the DC Government is being too cautious.

(17,091 posts)I'm 100% certain that local rethuglicon senators are HIGHLY involved with their governors pushing the white house opinions! (i'm saying forcing them to open per tRUMPS orders!) This needs to be noted by MEDIA!

(94,810 posts)If they're Democratic Governors, they won't be pressured by Republican Senators; it they're Republican Governors (with the exception of DeWine, Hogan and Baker) they don't need to be pressured. Still has nothing to do with what the media should be saying.

Trump wanted people to die. That was the news. It was all bad.
It started before the date of this article (which is written a day or two after the fact).
