Breaking: President Trump said the CDC will issue guidelines for reopening places of worship, deeming them essential and calling on governors to allow them to open

Mr.

Trump said some governors have deemed abortion clinics and liquor stores as essential but didn’t put churches and other places of worship in that category. “So I’m correcting this injustice and calling houses of worship essential,” Mr. Trump said during a previously unscheduled visit to the White House...

If Churches want to be seen as essential businesses they should PAY TAXES!! Pretty simple stuff

There is quite a bit of fake news being publicized via the social media outlets lately. It would be nice to be able to hear our leaders clearly.

BS

I thought churches opened for Easter

So we are just openly admitting that the CDC has become a propaganda arm for Trump? Cool.

Well if we can open churches no reason not to open everything up ... movie theatres, convention centers, the whole enchilada

If Obama were president at the moment, coronavirus would be in control by now. Trump neither could save people's lives nor economy.

NEW: VA Secretary Robert Wilkie informs Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a letter the department has used hydroxychloroquine to treat about 1,300 veterans for coronavirus 'and will continue to do so in accordance with Food and Drug Administration guidelines.'

Cool, cool...just make sure the church is set up like a hospital ward so god can do doctor stuff

jeremypmurphy And there is the problem. CDC faces too much arm twisting by this administration.

Hmmm. He does a Lot of DEEMING, Doesn't He. So, His Whim is Law, now. He needs to ResignAlready and stop trying to Enforce Paula White's OPINIONS on the Citizens of These United STATES! Freedom of Worship DOES NOT MEAN acting on the DICTATES of a Game Show Host or TV PREACHER!!!

Places of worship are essential to ensure the masses are subjugated and don't engage in critical thought.

Yeah, he also said we’d have the greatest healthcare, veteran benefits, and economy in the world. We have shit!!

If you can't have a 'relationship with god' without physically going to church you don't have a relationship with god

God Bless POTUS

And then he will ignore CDC guidelines, just as he's done so far.

So it confirms that the CDC works for trump and not USA. Hence, they did not provide testing in Jan. Created faulty tests and discarded it, and has refused to provide nationwide testing. Brix all works just for trump.

Governors already have. trump IS NOT GOD!!

If YOU need a specific building to worship, you are doing it wrong. If YOU care more about congregating in large numbers then the life of your neighbor, you know a different Christ than I was raised to know. YOU are not more important than US WinTheEra ChristianLeft

♥️FAITH COMFORTS, CONSOLES and HEALS ⛪️💒~~~~👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🙇‍♀️🙇🏻‍♂️

Keep openly showing your complete corruption of the CDC. It will guarantee 60% of people no longer listen to it, thereby ending its usefulness. He is so dumb he doesn’t understand what is contrary to his own interests.

Trump has a strategic plan to look like he’s the hero leading the charge against the press & Dems who want to keep God away & the economy to suffer. They shouldn’t take the bait. Let’s agree w/him. Open up everything & point to him.

You know what ? This is stupid and crazy

10th amendment is trending because a bunch of people who want the United State of the World have discovered states rights matter. Most didn’t even know what the 10th amendment was until they parroted someone else tweeting about it Twitter is funny.

Yeah Gov’s, go ahead and be Cult45’s accomplice to death! Cult45 CoronaVirusFailure ManBaby45 IMPOTUS4Life

Damn, I guess they really want to be closer to God.

It isn't up to Trump. He might as well issue guidelines negating gravity & prohibiting the sunrise. The 10th Amendment gives states authority to manage public health crises. Trump can't refuse to do his job, refuse to accept responsibility & also interfere with state governors

Excellent

SQUIRREL! Species: Panderus Unconstitutionalis

Finally!! We all know Democrats favor Unplanned Motherhood Execution Clinic’s but demean faith and worship responsibility practiced!! PressSec realDonaldTrump GovMikeHuckabee greggutfeld IngrahamAngle CNBC ABC JoeBiden JesseBWatters dbongino JudgeJeanine Judgenap

I guess the pastors of megachurches have payments for their private jets and yachts to take care off. This corona thing is putting a dent in their collections.

That evangelical vote counts!!

Is this an election campaign or pandemic control measure? Question I ask everyday!

Why not? It was wrong to let them stay in their cars in the parking lot so let them in. If nothing else they can space out just like sports stadiums. Muslims are able to still meet in those same states for worship so why not everyone else?

The wise man sees the danger and flees while the fool continues on. Proverbs 22:3

God gave us common sense for a reason! God is everywhere. If you think that the only way you can have God's grace is to huddle together in church, possibly spreading a virus to one another, then you have missed the point of religion entirely. covidisapandemic realDonaldTrump

Translation: Trump heard evangelical voters were disillusioned so he yelled 'I'm fighting for the religious rights you need.' meanwhile in America we Christians know we don't need a building to pray. God hears us all the time everywhere.

Let 'em open, then lock 'em in!!!

Just a reminder. South Korea got their mass infection started at a place of worship. Thousands of people got infected by a single person.

Worshipping God is essential. I agree with his excellency the President.

End Times, Afternoon Edition.

Short-cut to heaven!

Matthew 6:5-6 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door.

“In America we need more prayer, not less”. Amen.

Someone tell realDonaldTrump “The liberty secured by the Constitution . . . does not import an absolute right in each person to be at all times, and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint.” -SCOTUS 1905

Yes, let’s open up places of worship, despite their being possible super spreader locations, as the choir practice in Mt Vernon Washington showed when out of 60 people that attended, 45 tested positive and 2 died. Trump only cares about placating the religious right in this.

How dare Trump does that! Next thing people will ask why, when so many places are opening, House Representatives are hiding in places. That would totally upend Pelosi‘s plan to craft legislation behind closed doors and have it voted on by proxy. That man must be stopped!

So now Church is finally as essential as COSTCO 😎🙏👍👍

So Trump did not want to take a leadership role in guiding closure and reopening of the country because he “trust the Governors”. But now he wants to force the Governors to open worship places. Opportunistic PARASIT TRUMP.

Right!!! God Bless us all 🥰😇

.realDonaldTrump yes, because you are so religious and such a stand up spiritual man. Give us a fcking break. Pandering to the religious extremists.

WHILE OVER 50 CHURCHES & ORGS SUING TO HAVE “IMMUNITY” IF THEY OPEN & PEOPLE GET SICK. You open, you OWN it!!!

We are supposed to love one another not spread virus to one another. Gathering in mass is not safe. Doing things in a safe way can be fine . . . just don't put people and the health care system in jeopardy. Get PPE for everyone.

Raise your hand if you think trump gives a fat rat’s ass about churches. The media has more ventilators than anybody. He keeps throwing these non-stories out there as a distraction and the media then rushes N 2 breathe life into them. Meanwhile, nearly 100,000 deadAmericans.

“I don't object to the concept of a deity, but I'm baffled by the notion of one that takes attendance.” Amy, from The Big Bang Theory

Trump is a godless libertine, and WSJ knows it. 'Disturbances in society are never more fearful than when those who are stirring up the trouble can use the pretext of religion to mask their true designs.' - Diderot

Which service will Trump be attending?

What it says on the pic is: “10 people might have 11 opinions, then stop feeding them for 3 days, 10 people would only have one thought.” This is one of the dirty strategies how ccp brainwashes and handcuffs chinese for its evil regime...

BAD IDEA. There seems to be some unique situation with gathering in churches that accelerates the transmission of the virus, several super spreader events have shown this. It may be the singing. My mass is online. Bet yours is, too. StayHomeSaveLives

READ THE GUIDELINES BEFORE JUDGING.
