President Donald Trump spoke briefly at the White House Friday and called for state governors to allow for churches and other places of worship to reopen to the public.

What I want to know is when these ridiculous masks and distancing will stop.

The only time I have worn one was when I had to take my 87 year old dad to the eye doctor. Other than that screw it. Got a haircut from someone operating under cover. Had a few beers at a bar. Not obeying ANY of their bullshit.

Here we go...governors vs Constitution.

There’s nothing that says are rights can get suspended. Now we’ll see who is going to push the tyrant envelope.

Bets?

MICHIGAN. WHitler and her AG are waaaay too arrogant to even consider allowing what PDJT has declared.

I’ve only worn a mask a few times since this nightmare started. It was never mandatory though.
Now it’s too hot to wear it. Most people here (LA) wore it for all the “flatten the curve” BS, but now maybe 50% people wearing it. At 90 degrees masks get very old very fast.
Come next month, forget it.

Some of the governors are just too full of hubris to even consider heeding PDJT’s declaration.

It’s about to get real. The S is about to HTF.

...need more popcorn.

Maybe Trump found Obama’s pen and phone. Everybody was just fine with those two magical items when Hussein used them.

Reading the article, he’s having it both/all ways.

Expert at platitudes.

Reading your comment and then the article . . . I can't see what you're seeing. I only see one way, that states can't keep churches closed, and he has the means to see that they open them. Which he's not specifying.

And I don't remember seeing him--a veteran negotiator--make a provocative statement for which he didn't have a 50-ton mallet waiting.

That was my thought also. I actually kind of hope the governors do not permit churches to return, just to see which churches stand up, and which would perpetually remain bowing to their tyranny.

I was referring to a different article, one that I posted near the top of this thread, and to a different person. The person I was referring to is Fauci.

Good one...that’d expose their nonsense.

PDJT just made this the ‘left vs. God’. It’s almost as though he planned this ;p

Right after the Democrats steal the fall election.

I would say the President has the authority to defend the Constitution.

Woo-hoo-hoo-ha-ha-ha-hah! No arguments there, bro!!!

What a blathering B.S. machine he is--and seemingly, less focused on our health than on his share of the patent revenue.

If I live to be his age and I start acting like that, someone, please stuff a sock in my mouth.

Here it is voluntary yet at least half the population is wearing them.
Zero deaths in my county.
It is sad that people have been conquered by Fear.

Who has the authority to enforce the Constitution and Bill of Rights as in what we know as the First Amendment. What if a State decides to never allow churches to meet again; who has the authority to stop it. George Wallace might be able to answer that question if he were still around. LBJ sent National Guard troops into Alabama to enforce Civil Rights.
