Trump says he will "override the governors" and allow all churches to open this weekend.

...right after we learned that 39 of the 92 people (38%) who attended a rural church in Arkansas one week in March caught the coronavirus, and 3 died of it. https://t.co/CYWGzJmwJv

I'd be okay with churches being open if they followed the exact same guidelines as WalMart/Target/etc. Limited % of capacity, social distance, masks, and all that.

But in Michigan, Whitmer didn't close the churches. Pastors and denominations did. So even if Grace Episcopal WERE open, I could hear the message and half the choir, but not being able to touch anyone would make me stay away.

As with everything else Dump does this is just empty symbolism and pwnings the libs. But people still gwan die.

Go for it. Please. Sing a lot, too. The louder the better, make sure God hears you, as you send your fellow parishioners to see him in a few weeks.

At some point, just let the morons kill themselves. I refuse to feel sorry for them.

So in other words, not enforced and never going to happen.

Depends on the Europeans, too.

With many Europeans, if they want to compliment you they say they can't believe you're an American. The stereotype about Americans is we are all:

+ rich (unless you're talking to young males this is negative because it's linked to hoarding and insensitivity to poverty)
+ brash (this cuts both ways -- W. Eur intellectuals don't like it but C. Eur dummies get really turned on by it)
+ violent and packing (they think we all have AR-15s in our luggage)
+ ignorant (both in geography and language, which, well, true)
+ great tippers!

In other words, they think we're all Republicans.

Overtipping doesn't have anything to do with political leanings. The idea of a service charge already being included in menu prices, or that food service is anything more than a temp job for college kids and might be a career, is a totally foreign concept to North Americans and speaks volumes about how we actually value human life.

They're used to brash thanks to the British stag/hen parties, and most Americans are tame in comparison. Of course now, with Brexit complicating the Brits' ability to quickly and easily vacation in Berlin, Munich, Barcelona, and Prague... *shrug*

The main thing they expect is willful ignorance of culture and language, and that typically cuts both ways (though Democrats will certainly be more apologetic about it).

Don't forget to pass the plate.

Yea, I would not bin the tipping that way, too. We tip in Europe, as we are just not used to not tip. And firmly D.

The latest attacks the botskis and trolls are pushing on Whitmer and Cuomo involve them being responsible for sending patients to the nursing homes, where they spread COVID to other senior residents.

The 4chan troll accounts are also rolling with something against Whitmer that involves her ex HS boyfriend supposedly giving her a rather gross nickname involving sexual proclivities.

Does it go with a certain blink and you miss it town in the UP?

Wait a second...is it the contention of you guys that Europe doesnt have a whole lot of dumbass racist inbred yokels? I am pretty sure that is not nearly close to true. I met plenty in France and Scotland and well...they have about 700 years of history hating, subjugating, imprisioning and murder the "Others".

And Canada too...I am not sure if you guys are being selectively blind but just because they have Socialized Medicine and are overly polite in public doesnt mean they are some progressive loving paradise. Ask the Natives up there how they feel about it. Hell Blacks dont exactly get treated well there either. The type of racism that exists today started with Europe and their former colonies have not exactly been pushing the pedal to the metal to stop it.

I have some faith in people, pun intended. I guess, why is it ok for the stores to have different guidelines? NOTE: I am not a church-goer. Only weddings and funerals for the last (mumble mumble) years.

No, the contention is solely that most Americans they meet are democrats because most Republicans don't leave the continent, and therfore they have a skewed view of what most Americans are like since they don't meet the other half unless they come here.

I wouldn't go so far to narrow it down to just democrats. Now, I wouldn't say hard-core Republicans, but there are decent conservatives out there, that are not "Republican" per the last couple years.
