I'm satisfied that they have this under control. Let's get back to work and cancel that damn porkulus spending bill!

I liked the part where he said that new projections had come out showing no shortages and a smaller peak...but we’re going to use the old projections that are worse out of an abundance of caution. The actual cases trendline is even below the new projections so how in the world could we ever meet the 10x projections of April 1. Everyone is so afraid to pop up on the radar and say this thing is over. I thought we were “following the science”. This shows they never had a clue what they were doing and were going to keep on keeping on because if we don’t keep doing what we said we were going to do we’ll look like we didn’t know what we were doing. This is more and more like the BP oil spill every day. The constant threat of oh how bad it was going to be, oh you just wait, so we need to shut everything down. And then it was “oh my lord look at these out of work Hooters Waitresses...by god BP needs to pay them. And at the end of the day there was no environmental Armageddon and Urrbody got paid except the Hooters waitresses.

Iowa and four other states — North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Arkansas
HAVE no shelter in place rule.

Politicians are just grandstanding now.

Under control... Right... Read this (if you can read)

At 44:38, Tater, as usual, does nothing but confuse the issue he created with fishing. He closes all lakes but recommends fishing in a boat if you're eight apart. No mention of beer in the boat or Baptists.

That slanted piece of crap written by a New York nutjob?

Only quoted Democrat Mayors, didn't bother to get any statements or quotes from GOP Mayors. No slanting there.

Left out one crucial fact: The State Health Officer could've shut everything down weeks ago. He has the power to do so and didn't. Actions taken by the Governor were done under the advice of Dobbs and/or UMC.

- Son, today we had 1600 deaths reported. In one day, in one nation.

Not only is this not over, by the longest shot imaginable, we are up to bat in the second inning of a triple header.

@4:13. Son, these numbers are small in comparison to the other crap people die from everyday. Son.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Tater Tot issues a proclamation that its Confederacy Month in Mississippi.

He’s got to be the dumbest governor in the state’s history. And that’s saying something.

It seems to me there will always be a small percentage on one hand that wants nothing more than to tell everyone else what to do. On the other hand is a small percentage that is extremely resistant to being told what to do. In between those two hands is where the thinking apparatus is located.

@5:06, I believe you could take that first place position from Governor Reeves, if you were to try.

Don't have a stroke 5:06.

Confederate Memorial Day is a legal holiday in the Great State of Mississippi.
Like Christmas, Thanksgiving and MLK Day . . . that Official Holiday ain't disappearing anytime soon.

Now, wash your hands and stand six feet away from your fellow humans.

The pointless Tate bashing contributes nothing to the discourse or marketplace of ideas. I'm sure he reads the site. Perhaps make some constructive criticism or recommendations for his consideration. If I were Gov. Reeves (which I'm not) I'm going to tune out the peanut gallery hurling insults and personal attacks.
He isn't going to feel bad just because some anonymous cowards on JJ thinks he sucks.

KF, a good leader doesn’t rely only on his closest experts but also weighs the recommendations of the experts in the field with the best information and most experience.

Some Mayors in MS did that!

4:13, The USA averages over 7,700 deaths every day,

Baaahhhhh

10,000 people after Monday presser: "I'm going fishing."

1/3 of state Game Wardens: "You can't fish this lake now."

1/3 of state Game Wardens: "I think he said you can fish."

1/3 of state Game Wardens: "I don't know what the hell he said."

@5:06
I voted for tate and I think he's absolutely 100% the worst leader Mississippi has had in my lifetime. I'm 46 yrs old. I can tell you several surgeons that have changed tune on tate the past weeks with his horrible decisions in terms of elective cases. I know eastover docs that pushed for him and now shake there heads when I bring it up. Tater tot is terrible to quote sir Charles Barkley.

6:35,

Here’s some constructive criticism for Tate:

Dear Tate,

Stop issuing proclamations about the Civil War during the worst medical and economic disaster in modern times. Focus on the crisis instead of the Confederacy. You look stupid to the rest of the world when you talk about 150+ year old history instead of helping the taxpayers.

Sincerely,
A Taxpayer

How’d I do, 6:35?

Bingo, 8:58.

Seems to me he said a couple things: (1) He doesn't know when schools will be re-opened. Well, that isn't news. (2) The state is incompetent at keeping up with un-employment. Well, that isn't news. (3) The checks aren't coming yet. Well, that isn't news. (4) He prays a lot. Well, that isn't news.

tate was in Spain as this was unfolding.

Tate left Spain to come back to MS. Tate was flown by private jet from NY to MS upon his return. (whose jet?)

Tate got back and failed to take action. He waited on Trump. Trump never has acted. Finally something made Tate move. He closed Meridian essentially. Then he closed the state...except he didn't do either. Its the worst governance Ive ever seen.

People have suffered and died for no reason.

Tate should resign.

I do not see why everyone is bashing Tate. He never claimed to be a leader during the campaign, never laid out a plan on exactly how he was going to govern the state. All he said during the campaign is "I love Trump, and I am a republican so vote for me." and most of you did. The people had a choice whether it was Waller, Hood, whoever. If we look back at his term of throwing tantrums if I don't get my way when he was lite gov, how did we think he was going to behave any differently. All we can hope, which I doubt will happen, is that he grows from this.
