    1. That’s how the devil works! His way to spread confusion, divisiveness, strife and misery and Death.

    2. @Paul Wilson Scared of a riot until a sports team loses a game.😂 for whites, thats ok!

    1. No, and yet at the same time, yes. The Johnson Amendment prohibits politicizing by tax exempt organizations… BUT! No administration enforces the law.

    2. Churches haven’t paid tax for 800 years. Next time you see a pastor check out their sweet tax free ride, because I guess god doesnt need them to pay for the road they drive it on.

    1. Trump will not get the virus as he is fiercely protected by his sycophants.. it is such an irony as everyone else will be exposed and potentially get very sick while he is walking around , lying to the public about the seriousness of the disease. It is so wrong and unjust.

  1. The air filter thing only work on air that’s going through it. Covid droplets won’t be in the air long enough to get sucked in… but more than long enough to get breathed in unless the machines are in front of all the faces… maybe miniaturize them to the size of… I don’t know… a MASK!

  2. Everyday I just want to cry. We have all these good Americans dying terrible deaths because we have a president who literally just doesn’t care and is willing to do nothing for us, just for himself smh

    1. same. and i find i do cry everyday. at something else usually. a piece of music. a movie. anything, it doesn’t take much because really it is about all of this. and where we are as country. something else just has to shake it out of me. if i honestly began crying about this, i fear how hard it would be to stop crying, and how much it would tear me up inside.

  3. This is what the nurses in New York went through, same thing different state on the e other side of the country

    1. @Q Wins Cuomo didn’t send them anywhere. Most nursing homes are privately OWNED. It was their decision to take Covid patients.

    2. Why didn’t Queermo put infectious patients on the Navy ships instead of in the nursing homes?

  4. Trump: No masks no problem and he tells his fake evangelicals down on your knees and worship me I am the chosen one. #JimJones2.0

    1. Of course he’s the Chosen One! Don’t you know he said he’s done more for the Jews since Jesus? Well, not quite, but he’d say it that way if he had the chance to do-over.

    2. @FLYNN fewer. The word is fewer. And unfortunately, these plague rats will spread disease to everyone they come in contact with. The only good news is that more intelligent people will social distance, and maybe even cut ties with their MAGA neighbors and family. I cut those ties 6 years ago when fascism was just taking root in the Right, but maybe more people will wise up now.

    3. @GoT fan 2320 Yes. Yes he is. Quite almost literally. All he needs now is the mortal wound that he overcomes. And stupidity doesn’t count.

  5. I have a friend that lives in Tuscon and they have not done anything down there. they just now implemented a face mask rule in Tuscon in public. smh!!!

    1. I just love how you tell people the first hand truth, and not a single response to your comment. “It’s easier to fool someone, than to convince them they’ve been fooled.” -Mark Twain

  6. If “Ionization” technology is so great, they should have install all over, then there won’t be a single case of Covid-19 in USA. WOW!!!!!

    1. it falls into the same category as disinfectants … its just unbelievable how dumb those two are, why on earth didnt do it anybody before, because it isn’t working …

    2. TRUMPS TEAM IN TULSA. SAFETY IS JOB #1

      WE ARE FOLLOWING ALL THE GUIDELINES (NOT THE CDC GUIDANCE)

      WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE
      GIVING OUT MASKS PEOPLE WILL NOT WEAR BECAUSE OF TRUMPS EXAMPLE
      HAND SANITIZER, LAST RIGHTS, A PRAYER

      THAT’S WHY WE WANTED TO SQUEEZE 20,000 PEOPLE INTO AN ENCLOSED ARENA (against CDC GUIDANCE) COVID SPIKING IN TULSA FROM 100 TO 500 CASES A DAY

      10 TRUMP STAFFERS IN TULSA HAVE COVID-19. AND COUNTING

  7. Love to the healthcare workers, God bless you!!!

    If trump doesn’t get the covid-19, he will never understand…

  8. YES. Dump and kompany, please visit ALL the evangelicals’ churches in AZ.
    Shake all the hands, hug all the shoulders, kiss all the babies.

    1. Let’s hope they leave the baby home with a responsible teen or elder. The parents may be irresponsible idiots but infants are innocents.

    2. Beautiful Woman Yep, you’re right. 😞 I wonder if anyone has considered charging these morons of child endangerment.

    3. Dont allow your children to go to catholic churches! Sure now, they have too many pedo priests.

    4. @Dark Iris Queermo should be charged with murder KNOWINGLY putting infected patients in nursing homes.

  9. Melody, you’re a symphony for all of us being careful, social distancing and wearing protection, so we don’t end up in your care or contaminate others. I command you for being there for all the ones getting sick, especially the ones being careful. Thank you and be brave, we salute you!

    1. @Nicole Cordova of all what? Pestilence disease and plagues.The Humans living in ancient Egypt had disease plagues and locust 2500 years before Christ was born.

    2. @Peg202 XO They were sinners and it was God’s will. Donations accepted in the dearly departed’s name

  10. dude can’t even pronounce “ionization” and yet he got it all figured out? right. Wonder how much Trump paid these hacks.

  11. at least he won’t have to tear-gas peaceful protestors in order to get his Church photo-op this time… how amazing would it be if NOBODY showed up? I can dream

    1. RIP-USA-1776-2008….. the Obama legacy and the godless uneducated children protesting about scruples they know very little of.infecting more of themselves with covid. Real smart!

    2. @tomas neel – 50 years of continuous Republican treason has destroyed AmeriKKKa.

      The world is laughing at the stupidity and Corruption of Republiacns.

      AmeriKKka is the negative example that just keeps people laughing.

    3. @Dan Givens Do you really think that? If so the oligarchs have you duped worse than Chump duped the contractors at Trump Casino Atlantic City out of their fee

    4. @Fred A The way health demographics of a state is gauged is by two metrics. Very simple. How many babies under 5 years old die and what the average living age is. So it’s birth survival and longevity that experts in the health industry use to gauge health of a population among more minor things like well being. The US supposedly has the best healthcare system on the planet. The facts don’t support this claim. In fact US is 26th in birth survival,
      Where does the US rank for life expectancy at birth?
      The United States ranks 26th of 35 OECD countries for life expectancy, with an average life expectancy of 79 years. Life expectancy at birth is another measure used to compare the health of nations. The United States also performs relatively poorly in this measure, which is highly influenced by infant mortality.

      Comparison With Other Nations – America’s Health Rankingswww.americashealthrankings.org › 2016-annual-report
      Cardiovascular deaths have increased in the US. Drug overdoses have increased,. Infant mortality has risen the past 2 years after being in decline for several decades. But with new technology the rate dropped in half for the previous 4 decades until 2 years ago.

  12. Trump: we need to test less so we have less case

    Sane people: that’s stupid, you can’t do that!

    Trump: watch me make testing difficult where people need to wait 13 hours.

    1. @hhhh9579 Yeah bc that’s what doctors do. I don’t know who came up with this stupidity but last I heard Doctors are required by law
      to save your life no matter what. This “on the table” just shows how religion gets in the way of brain cells, you will believe anything , no
      matter how crazy and I guess you’ll vote for trump again. Cheers

    2. dixie chicken Why don’t you Google Governor Ralph Northam of Virginia(Abortion) and see what you find…The results will shock you he’s a black face wearing baby murdering tyrant but he’s a Democrat Bought by Bloomberg so I guess it makes it OK smfh

    3. dixie chicken.. well… Still stupidity? Or are you vomiting in a trashcan?… I hope you wake up and realize that Democrats are the scum of the earth.

    1. No, he’s going to talk TO his wall.

      Oh Wall, oh sweet, oh lovely Wall, show me your hole to stick my eye up against!

      (Stage direction: WALL holds up two fingers – a British gesture meaning approximately the same as a flipoff)

      Thanks, courteous Wall. Jove shield thee well for this!
      But what see I? No (migrants) do I see.
      O wicked Wall through whom I see no bliss!
      Cursed be thy stones for thus deceiving me!
       
      (Shakespeare : a Misummer Night’s Dream)

    2. @Sterling Pound I love me some Shakespeare, but he didnt know much about the,child trafficking and drug smuggling conducted by the Nasty Loyolas
