Incubation at the moment is from the beginning of July and those lovely 4th celebrations. I mentioned just after Independence Day on here that I saw on the live webcams that Myrtle Beach was beyond packed with people. Along with the protests from the middle to late June. celebrating the birth of the nation carelessly has exaserbated this current wave... that and people not wearing masks, social distancing, etc.
What state is Myrtle Beach in? Answer: South Carolina. The states with problems right (Texas, Florida, and California) are three of the biggest states in the union with several large metropolitan areas.
America didn't listen to science,
This American did listen to the science, and every American I interacted with at HEB, Walmart, and out in public did the same thing.
America opened too quickly.
Texas followed reopening guidelines issued by the government to the T. The only states that didn't follow them that I know of for sure were Georgia and Oklahoma.
States are now having to shut down again because of it. "Like a month" is not long enough obviously... look at the other G10 members in the past 36 hours. They are all economically strong democracies with advanced medical capabilities just like the United States so the argument of "they aren't testing enough/as much as we are" is a downright silly claim. The other G10 must have done something a little differently because look at that disparity.
Belgium - 74
Canada - 250
France - 1,625
Germany - 486
Italy - 169
Japan - 333
Netherlands - 54
Sweden - 175
United Kingdom - 1,246
United States of America - 64,814
Sweeden originally did not shut down!:

England: June 28, 2020 "LONDON -- Britain’s government is considering a lockdown for the central English city of Leicester amid a spike of COVID-19 cases — the first time that a single U.K. area would face such an extreme measure during the pandemic." -

Try again.
A Republican example? Roger Stone. The conservative media loves that Trump has freed him and the libs are going insane. It's vice/versa of the "protests" when the libs loved it and the cons went ballistic. Perfect example of the flip side of the coin no matter what one's personal beliefs about Roger Stone may be.
The whole Trump/Russian collusion thing has proven to be 1000% false. The intelligence agencies leaked stories to get FISA warrants so they could spy on Trump's associates. Stone's "crime" has nothing to do with an actual crime. Instead, they claim he perjured himself, I think it's to Congress not the FBI by the way, but either way the whole thing was tainted with political bias. For whatever reason, the FBI will not release what he actually "lied about" to the public.
PS. I shouldn't have ever argued with you about this because presidential pardon is in the Constitution:
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment. Article 2, Section 2
Elections have consequences!
Your final point, if that is the case, America needs to put both Hilary and Donald in jail because they are both criminals who deserve to spend the rest of their lives behind bars.
Selectively enforcing the law to lock Hillary up for, say, the email server and not locking up Trump for Russian interference unequivocally proves my point about American division and the lack of critical thinking.

This will be my last post to you because Trump did nothing wrong, period, end of statement. Your head must be so far up Adam Schiff's behind if you believe otherwise.
I will say, however, that Hillary definitely messed up, but I don't know if she should go to jail. The point is Hillary committed a process crime, but if she gets off for it then why shouldn't Flynn, Stone, and Manafort? Apply the law fairly, and I would be fine with either.
This isn't the type of non-enforcement I was talking about, by the way, I'm talking about clear violent crimes. Hillary, Flynn, Stone, and Manafort are not going to go kill anyone or tear down buildings.
According to your last point, a great way to start the healing process is to lock'em both up and throw away the key which I wholeheartedly agree with! The United States of America would be a better place with Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump gone forever.
Again, this will be my last post to you. Let me ask you this, though: after two years of investigating by big stud, Bob Mueller, tons of hours spent on House of Representatives Oversight, and the media pouring their heart and soul into this issue, why do I still not know what Trump did wrong in regards to Russia? Could you explain that to me? I'd be curious to know.
Keep in mind that Ukraine has not been apart of Russia since 1991. You chose to bring up Russia. I preface it this way because I do at least know the allegation against Trump in regards to Ukraine: "he interfered in an Ukraine investigation into the eventual Democratic nominee." There a lot of problems with that, including, but not limited to, Biden clearly interfered in an investigation in regards to his son on tape whereas the listener has to assign intent to Trump, the actual "crime" would have something to do with campaign finance reform, and it assumes Trump knew Biden would win the nomination years before he actually did so.
I'm out. I hope you listen to my words because you aren't hopeless, my friend. If you want my advice, which you probably don't, keep your eye on the ball. You can nitpick anything and make it bad.
