Trump* says open churches this weekend

He has a plan for this weekend to make the evangelicals happy, open the churches, sing praise to the lord and infect your neighbors.

Nothing like a super spreader event to bring people home to their maker.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Lets Go Darwin

Walmart sells essential goods like food, toilet paper and pharmaceuticals. Close the liquor stores and you would have tens or hundreds of thousands of alcoholics having life threatening withdrawal issues and flooding the ER’s.

Trump today said we need more prayer, last time I checked you didn’t need to be in a church to pray.

Very simple, I’ve shopped at BJ’s, my local liquor store and Home Depot and I’m never sitting next to or near someone who potentially is symptomatic or carrying. I’ve been able to at all times keep six feet apart, not likely in a full church, but feel free to partake.

walmart also sells crap that people
can stand next to each other, pick up, put back down.

if you’re worried about alcoholics, same question, why open liquor stores but ban AA meetings?

you can pray anywhere. not all catholics can get communion at home. it’s not the same
thing to people who care. the people who elected him, want this.

Does it matter? Baker says it and it’s “Meh” trump says it and people lose their friggin minds.

Again, it’s no big deal that he said that. Movin on.

I only find the fact that he thinks he can order the states to do it interesting. I agree no big deal.
