Let's keep in mind that not only are most liberal Governors banning church services, but they are willing to actually fight for their personal one person right to ban church services in court. But here we have an event in a church being held in a city that bans church services, and nobody from the left blinked an eye.
In fact, most told people to go watch the service as a perfect example of how liberalism is at the top of it's game. But I wonder how all of those hundreds of thousands of people who have lost love ones and were told that they could not hold a service because of Covid really reacts to the concept that what is banned for the common person, is allowed for the political elite.
Not to mention the millions of Christians, Muslims, Jews, etc... that are not allowed to worship in their church, because apparently the Covid virus only hits certain "types" of church services, while avoiding others.

You picture didn't actually show that most of them were practicing social distancing
The members of Congress who attended the funeral were also practicing Social distancing themselves
Your perseverance is getting worse than ever before Trump was elected President!
Not one Republican attended the funeral of an American patriot and Christian who put his life in danger to support voting rights for African Americans citizens

President Barack Obama said that the administration is trying hard to suppress voter registration and claims without any evidence of voter fraud by mail in ballots.
Bull Connor may be gone. But today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of Black Americans. George Wallace may be gone. But we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators. We may no longer have to guess the number of jelly beans in a jar in order to cast a ballot. But even as we sit here, there are those in power are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting — by closing polling locations, and targeting minorities and students with restrictive ID laws, and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the Postal Service in the run-up to an election that is going to be dependent on mailed-in ballots so people don’t get sick.
John Lewis devoted his time on this Earth fighting the very attacks on democracy and what’s best in America that we are seeing circulate right now.
He knew that every single one of us has a God-given power. And that the fate of this democracy depends on how we use it; that democracy isn’t automatic, it has to be nurtured, it has to be tended to, we have to work at it, it’s hard. And so he knew it depends on whether we summon a measure, just a measure, of John’s moral courage to question what’s right and what’s wrong and call things as they are. He said that as long as he had breath in his body, he would do everything he could to preserve this democracy. That as long as we have breath in our bodies, we have to continue his cause. If we want our children to grow up in a democracy — not just with elections, but a true democracy, a representative democracy, a big-hearted, tolerant, vibrant, inclusive America of perpetual self-creation — then we are going to have to be more like John. We don’t have to do all the things he had to do because he did them for us. But we have got to do something. As the Lord instructed Paul, “Do not be afraid, go on speaking; do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Just everybody’s just got to come out and vote. We’ve got all those people in the city but we can’t do nothing.
Like John, we have got to keep getting into that good trouble. He knew that nonviolent protest is patriotic; a way to raise public awareness, put a spotlight on injustice, and make the powers that be uncomfortable.
Like John, we don’t have to choose between protest and politics, it is not an either-or situation, it is a both-and situation. We have to engage in protests where that is effective but we also have to translate our passion and our causes into laws and institutional practices. That’s why John ran for Congress thirty-four years ago.
Not one Republican attended the funeral of an American patriot and Christian who put his life in danger to support voting rights for African Americans citizens
Perhaps they were adhering to the local ordinances that does not allow funeral or other church services to be performed.
Since when do liberals decide that the rich and powerful should be able to do what the rank and file Americans cannot?
George W Bush was very eloquent about John Lewis, and instead of playing tribute to an American patriot and hero who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Honor by President Barack Obama, you make a hypothetical claim that the liberals are attacking the practice of religion
Trump's campaign is based upon spreading fear of racial diversity among the suburbs
Even the Fox News polling shows that the suburbs are not going to vote for Trump because he has made the people sick and tired of his racist rhetoric.
Now you better start attacking Dr. Birx, Ch, for she is decisively abandoning Trump's pandemic proaganda.
Birx Warns U.S. In New Phase of Pandemic
August 2, 2020 at 12:26 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Dr. Deborah Birx said the US is in a new phase in its fight against the coronavirus pandemic, saying that the deadly virus is more widespread than when it first took hold in the US earlier this year, CNN reports.
Said Birx: “What we are seeing today is different from March and April. It is extraordinarily widespread. It’s into the rural as equal urban areas.”
She added: “To everybody who lives in a rural area, you are not immune or protected from this virus. If you’re in multi-generational households, and there’s an outbreak in your rural area or in your city, you need to really consider wearing a mask at home, assuming that you’re positive, if you have individuals in your households with comorbidities.”
_____
WOW. Wear a mask even at home if you have elderly or other at risk people present.
Why has Trump stopped telling us it soon will go away?
Hypocrisy squared again Scott.
Assistant Secretary for Health Adm. Brett Giroir pushed back against President Donald Trump’s obsession with unproven anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine on Sunday, stating unequivocally that he
“can’t recommend” the drug as a coronavirus treatment and that it’s time to “move on” from it.
Over the past week, the president and his allies have renewed their embrace of the controversial medication after a fringe group of doctors touted it as a coronavirus “cure” in a viral video. Trump continued to endorse the video even after finding out that Dr. Stella Immanuel, one of the most outspoken members of the group, claimed that “alien DNA” was in medicine and some female medical problems are caused by demon sex.
I actually watched Meet The Press today, but you probably watched Fox News

mooched off the US taxpayer for 33 years.
Oh my goodness..lolololol again today
Washington (CNN) - President Donald Trump's campaign manager deleted a tweet featuring a dramatic photo of Air Force One at the Daytona 500 after users pointed out that the shot was from President George W. Bush's visit to the NASCAR race in 2004, not from Trump's visit on Sunday.
I'm waiting too for good ole rat
to give us the number of flu deaths in the USA under Obama during his entire eight years
compared to the number of Covid-19 deaths under Trump during his last five months
Your a racist rodent bastard who hates ni&&&s who risked their lives to get the right to vote.
It's just a cold
Since when do liberals decide that the rich and powerful should be able to do what the rank and file Americans cannot?
liberals have been this way as long as i've been alive.
never practicing what they preach. always doubling down on hypocritical behavior.
and always, always, always exempting themselves from edicts they bestow upon us commoners.
see: Fauci, Phony, Dr.
see: black LIES matter protesters vs. those who wish to attend church services.
see: Cuomo, Andrew; aka the angel of death
Good morning. Distinguished guests, John-Miles, Lewis’ family and friends, Lord I thank you for inviting us for being here today.
John’s story began on a tiny farm in Troy, Alabama, a place so small he said you can barely find it on a map. Dr. Warnock talked about the chickens. I did a little research. Every morning, he would rise before the sun to tend to the flock of chickens. He loved those chickens. Already called to be a minister who took care of others, John fed them, and tended to their every need. Even their spiritual ones. Where John baptized them, he married them and he preached to them. When his parents claimed one for family supper, John refused to eat one of his flock. Going hungry was his first act of nonviolent protest. He also noted in later years that his first congregation of chickens listened to him more closely than his colleagues in Congress.
John also thought that the chickens were a little more productive. At least they produced eggs, he said. From Troy to the sit-ins of Nashville, from the Freedom Rides to the March on Washington, from Freedom Summer to Selma, John Lewis always looked outward, not inward. He always thought of others; he always thought of preaching the gospel, in word and in deed, insisting that hate and fear had to be answered with love and hope. John Lewis believed in the Lord, he believed in humanity and he believed in America. He’s been called an American saint, a believer willing to give up everything, even life itself, to bear witness to the truth that drove him all his life. That we could build a world of peace and justice, harmony and dignity and love. And the first crucial step on that journey was the recognition that all people are born in the image of God, and carry a spark of the divine in them.
Laura and I were privileged to see that spark in John up close. We worked with him to bring the National Museum of African American History and Culture to the Washington Mall. He was instrumental in the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Act, which I signed to seek resolution in cases where justice had been too long denied. And we will never forget joining him in Selma, Alabama for the 50th anniversary of his march across the Edmund Pettis Bridge, where we got to watch President Barack Obama thank John as one of his heroes.
There’s a story in the Old Scriptures that meant a lot to John. In the Hebrew Bible, the Lord is looking for a prophet. “Whom shall I send,” God wonders, and who will go for us?
Isaiah answers: Here am I. Send me. John Lewis heard that call a long time ago in segregated Alabama and he took up the work of the Lord through all his days. His lesson for us is that we must all keep ourselves open to hearing the call of love. The call of service. And the call to sacrifice for others. Listen, John and I had our disagreements of course – but in the America John Lewis fought for, and the America I believe in, differences of opinion are inevitable elements and evidence of democracy in action.
We the people, including congressmen and presidents, can have differing views on how to perfect our union while sharing the conviction that our nation, however flawed, is a good and noble one. We live in a better and nobler country today because of John Lewis and his abiding faith in the power of God, the power of democracy and in the power of love to lift us all to a higher ground. The story that began in Troy isn’t ending here, nor is the work. John Lewis lives forever in his Father’s house, and he will live forever in the hearts of Americans, who act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with their God. May the flights of angels see John Lewis to his rest, and may God bless the country he loved.
George W Bush
Exactly, and amassed a multi-million dollar net worth.

i keep telling you alky, i am NOT a democrat.
it was DEMOCRATS who filibustered against the civil rights act of 1964 and it was the GOP that LBJ relied upon to get it passed.
and it was your very own grand fucking kleagle robert byrd who led that fucking filibuster.
it was DEMOCRATS who lynched blacks and burned churches in the south, and it was DEMOCRATS who led a "high tech" lynching of a conservative black supreme court nominee.
it was DEMOCRATS who comprised the KKK - the terrorist arm of the DEMOCRAT party.
and it was a DEMOCRAT - ted kennedy, who told another DEMOCRAT - bill clinton that just a few years earlier 0linsky would've been fetching their coffee.
i could go on but i think you catch my drift.
alky, when i'm looking for a real live in the fucking flesh racist, i look no further than the closest prominent DEMOCRAT, because it's DEMOCRATS who have had racism oozing out of every fucking pore on their body for close to 200 years.

only a fucking idiot.liberal would take medical advice from the Assistant Secretary for Health Administration instead of their personal physician.
this is why you can't be taken seriously around here alky.
you post gibberish like this.
This is yet another reason why communities better think long and hard about Trump's insistence that schools reopen.

260 children and staff at Georgia overnight camp test positive for coronavirus, CDC says
The camp did not require its more than 360 campers, who ranged in age from 6 to 19, to wear masks.

It was a YMCA camp.
The policy of lockdown and co continued restrictions in major cities is destorying.

whatever you do pederast, don't let any one of those 260 people near HCQ. it might make them better, and according to the deputy assistant vice under-secretary for liberal asshattery and gibberish, the government knows better than any trained and licensed practicing physician.
alky said so.
Broken record Roger and James.
Crying the blues.
It was a YMCA camp.
*GASP!*
a YMCA CAMP?!?!
well that settles it then.
destroy all YMCA camps and salt the earth upon which they stood.
Roger and James are boiled down to Hate, bitching and crying.
The cure Biden 🤣
The Dixiecrats were the opposition to the bill.
A key note is a lot of Republicans voted for the bill, but the Republican party of Trump would have voted against it the civil rights act
In fact that the house of Representatives passed a bill named after John Lewis voting rights act to reverse the Supreme Court decision that basically destroyed the voting rights act of 1967, in 2013.
The states that had the Dixiecrat senators have Republican party strongholds. It reversed the trend, after FDR was elected President that those states were Democrats.
George Wallace won 5 Southern states in 196 . With the exception of Alabama, the Democrats have a good chance of winning some of the southern states because they are much more diverse than in 67
Bullshit lying asshole
If it could happen at a YMCA camp which was observing many safeguards (though not requiring children and youngsters to wear masks, only staff), what's going to happen in our schools?
Gasp about that, rattypoop.

President Donald Trump insists that schools reopen so students can go back to their classrooms, but the Maryland private school where his son Barron is enrolled is among those under county orders to stay closed.
Montgomery County Health Officer Dr. Travis Gayles said his order to stay closed for in-person instruction through Oct. 1 and to conduct online classes only will be reevaluated before Oct. 1 to determine whether it should be extended, terminated or amended.
Gayles noted increases in transmission rates for COVID-19 — the disease caused by the virus — in Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia, particularly in younger age groups.
"insuts"
😅😃
Roger you taking offense at your life is well deserved.
I qoute you.
From Your Facebook and here.
The Dixiecrats were the opposition to the bill.
You just make shit up don’t you liver
Dixiecrat, also called States’ Rights Democrat, member of a right-wing Democratic splinter group in the 1948 U.S. presidential election organized by Southerners who objected to the civil rights program of the Democratic Party. It met at Birmingham, Ala., and on July 17, 1948, nominated Gov. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina for president and Gov. Fielding L. Wright of Mississippi for vice president. The Dixiecrats, who opposed federal regulations they considered to interfere with states’ rights, carried South Carolina, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, to receive 39 electoral votes; their popular vote totalled over 1,000,000

🤣Biden's VP pick his 'political living will'😄
Pelosi said she accuses TRUMP of spreading disinformation about the pandemic, and Birx is on his task force. She wants Birx to come out with even stronger disagreements with Trump than those she has already begun voicing, disagreements which, however, are in themselves significant.
“I feel very strongly that this man has taken on strongarm tactics. And I feel very strongly that he is Mussolini, Putin is Hitler. …
I don’t think he plans to leave the White House. He doesn’t plan to have fair and unfettered elections. I believe that he plans to install himself in some kind of emergency way to continue to hold onto office. And that’s why the American people had better wake up.”
— House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), quoted by Politico, on President Trump.

Don't worry, Jim. The American people are going to pitch this LOSER out on his ear.

Minnesota is requiring wearing a mask or pay a fine
You don't get to play make believe James.

That's what I have been saying.
But the truth is that the Democrats threw them out of office
We just finished week one of the four week wear mask or die.
When this National Phase is over what gets rolled out next?
The 15 day coward in place worked so well,not.
He changed party to run as an independent candidate
James, If Biden wins the election, would you like to see him appoint Barack Obama to the Supreme Court?
There were no Dixiecrats during the Civil Rights passage you insipid, old, doddering fool
So all Republicans should refuse to wear masks. Be sure to tell them that. Their survivors will vote for Biden.
Obama on the Supreme Court?
Interesting thought...
Trump has killed:
154,449
Americans
( Plus Epstien)
Nice that the goat fucker thinks patriotism is sucking on trumps ass and that wearing a mask to help end the pandemic is painful because covid does not affect him!!!! What a great americano!!!!
Fact: Roger post in his Facebook his dream car is the $85,200 Audi A8.
Reality, I will never happen.
70 year old pipedream, very sad.
The goAT fucker hates his country!!!!!
Space X just landed!!!!

CHICAGO — First, the Pacific Northwest and the Northeast were hit hardest as the coronavirus tore through the nation. Then it surged across the South. Now the virus is again picking up dangerous speed in much of the Midwest — and in states from Mississippi to Florida to California that thought they had already seen the worst of it.
As the United States rides what amounts to a second wave of cases, with daily new infections leveling off at an alarming higher mark, there is a deepening national sense that the progress made in fighting the pandemic is coming undone and that no patch of America is safe.
In Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois, distressed government officials are retightening restrictions on residents and businesses, and sounding warnings about a surge in coronavirus-related hospitalizations.
In the South and the West, several states are reporting their highest levels of new coronavirus cases, with outbreaks overwhelming urban and rural areas alike.
Across the country, communities including Snohomish County, Washington; Jackson, Mississippi; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have seen coronavirus numbers fall and then shoot back up — not unlike the two ends of a seesaw.
Because HE SAID he'd be signing a healthcare plan within 2 weeks. He's got til midnight.
Interview with foxnews, 7/19/20 (2 weeks ago, today):
*******************************************************************
TRUMP: Pre-existing conditions will always be taken care of by me and Republicans, 100 percent.
WALLACE: But you've been in office three and a half years, you don't have a plan.
TRUMP: Well, we haven't had. Excuse me. You heard me yesterday. We're signing a health care plan within TWO WEEKS, a full and complete health care plan that the Supreme Court decision on DACA gave me the right to do. So we're going to solve -- we're going to sign an immigration plan, a health care plan, and various other plans.
*******************************************************************
Presser on his way to play golf, 7/31/20:

Q Mr. President -- Mr. President, what's in your healthcare plan that's coming on Sunday?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we're going to be doing a healthcare plan. We're going to be doing a very inclusive healthcare plan. I'll be signing it sometime very soon.
Q You said two weeks, when you spoke to Chris Wallace.
THE PRESIDENT: It might be -- it might be Sunday, but it’s -- it’s going to be very soon. We’re also doing a full immigration plan. We’re going to take care of a lot things that, for 25 years, they’ve been trying to get an immigration plan.
*******************************************************************
There's about 45 minutes left before he's got one more lie under his belt.
Think he'll sign that big beautiful comprehensive healthcare plan he's been promising?
I don't.
