Governors took issue with President Trump’s call for states with stay-at-home orders to “LIBERATE” residents from social distancing guidelines, during Sunday morning interviews.
“To have an American president to encourage people to violate the law, I can’t remember any time during my time in America where we have seen such a thing,” Inslee said. “And it is dangerous, because it can inspire people to ignore things that actually can save their lives. And I don’t know there’s another way to characterize it.”
How about this: Trump is a treacherous thug imploring his idiot base to break the law in a prelude to the civil war to come.
It’s a start anyway.
Four out of 50 governors spoke out. Of those four, only one was a Republican. How far America has fallen when there should be 50 governors, 100 senators and 435 representative speaking out against the President and only four out of 575 people speak out.
Sure … Trump heaves up that flammable bile and state and local officials are forced to clean up the mess or struggle to overcome the resistance.
And, every time he opens up that festering gob, it’s a knife to the back of every health care worker trying to halt this thing while endangering themselves in the bargain. It’s worse than a slap in the face; it’s evil and it’s cynical.
The Trump cult is always mad about something but they underestimate Covid-19. It’s reach includes Republicans and Democrats and crosses state lines.
So…the doomsday preppers aren’t that prepared for doomsday. Seriously, the guys who are always preparing for the end times are now concerned they can’t go to work, go to the park or hangout at Starbucks? What post apocalyptic world do they envision?
Applause for all these governors for speaking out. These look like the go to ones that will be called nasty names from the liar in chief. But, where was Cuomo?
Good thing I’m not a governor, these people were all polite and understated, I wouldn’t be able to utter a sentence without a few four letter words.
Donnie is talking out of both sides of his mouth and wants to have his cake and eat it to.
To whit, he is issuing national guidelines and then undermining them for his own political benefit.
He wants to be able to claim to have supported the social distancing and isolation policies that would minimize the viruses spread while also pressuring the governors to bend to his will by reopening their economies, which he sees as to his political benefit.
This will give him the ability to blame the governors for opening too early in the likely event it all blows up in his face.
As usual with this administration, the double dealing and bad faith is breath taking.
They are civilized human beings. Trump and his cult are not.
There will be more.
I know what you mean. What does Trump have to do to evoke a response that’s in keeping with his wild-assed treasonous behavior?
Someone spits on you and you say, what? “That’s not nice” ? Is that an adequate response?
Slaughter of the not-so-innocent.
Neiman Marcus employees will get a stay at home order of a different sort. I believe there’s 14,000 employees.

That really is Standard Operating Procedure with this bunch, starting at the top.
His lies, back-pedaling, half-truths, and double-speak have made us all numb.
The current hubbub about the need for restrictions/restrictions being too much is all true to form.
How many sides of an issue can he be on at once? He’ll mouth the sane policy while simultaneously pushing the insane approach.
Every one of the Senators who voted Donnie’s side and every voter who voted for him in protest has some amount of blood on their hands, more or less depending on their role, but some at least.

Covid-19 has killed multiple bishops and pastors within the Church of God in Christ, the nation’s largest black Pentecostal denomination
April 19, 2020 at 12:23 p.m. CDT
The Church of God in Christ, the country’s biggest African American Pentecostal denomination, has taken a deep and painful leadership hit with reports of at least a dozen to up to 30 bishops and prominent clergy dying of covid-19.
Officials from the denomination did not return requests for comment, but media reports and interviews with experts who study the denomination show the deaths of leaders in states including Michigan, New York and Mississippi. Those are regions where the Church of God in Christ is prominent, and the coronavirus has hit hard.
…
News reports across the country cite local health officials saying specific outbreaks that led to the deaths appeared to stem from conferences and funerals held within the denomination, which is also known by its acronym, COGIC. The denomination, which was founded in the late 1800s and has more than 6 million members, holds large meetings with representatives from its 200 jurisdictions — or regions — each year around February or March. The gatherings of clergy, lay leaders and church staff are called Worker’s Meetings.
…
Among the meetings connected with covid-19 breakouts were the Historic Louisiana First Jurisdiction meeting in Shreveport, La., and the Kansas East Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Ministers and Workers Conference in Kansas City, Kansas, both held in mid-March.
“This will change the ecosystem of black church life,” Butler said. “It’s showing the inequities of health disparities and economic disparities in the black community.”…
Maybe their irrational and criminal behavior will result a reduction of the number of Trump cultists left to vote – natural selection, after all.
Repeating an earlier tweet…
This is going to backfire on those red state governors. Sure, they’re trying to hide the bad news.
The families won’t.
The Trump Cult’s Campaign Against Life is laying an egg.
I had a neighbor text me saying she hoped a lot of them find out soon how bad this is. She added that it wasn’t very Christian of her.
I told her it was okay. Trump supporters aren’t Christians anyway.
