A Florida sheriff announced Monday that he’d obtained an arrest warrant for Rodney Howard-Browne, a fringe pastor, outspoken Trump booster and conspiracy theorist who on Sunday flouted public health orders and kept up Sunday services.
Perhaps the pastor will have a minion cut off the arresting deputy’s ear. You know, coz the Bible.
It’s not just this pastor in FL…there’s a bunch of lying propagandist at Fox News and the WH that has caused unnecessary Covid and Covid related deaths! Criminal Negligence!
Meanwhile…
On a lighter note in these dark and quarantine times…Life really imitates art!
is the most sterile building in America, as it contains 13 machines that can instantaneously kill any virus:
Oh ye of little faith, take out those machines, start the laying on of hands and trust in god! Hallelujah, praise jesus!
Which is more or less what Howard-Browne wanted to happen.
Now he gets to proclaim himself a martyr, and rake in even more “donations”, and the case will eventually be tossed by the State due to serious 1st Amendment arguments that he can and will produce at trial.
Just wanted to pass on some info to fellow hypertension sufferers who take ACE 2 inhibitors. There’s conflicting information on whether or not these drugs can intensify the severity of Covid-19 in affected patients. The bottom line:
Notify the attending physician and let them make the call. They could shift to a calcium channel blocker.
“This speculation about the safety of ACE inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blockers treatment in relation to COVID-19 does not have a sound scientific basis or evidence to support it,” de Simone wrote in the ESC statement. “Indeed, there is evidence from studies in animals suggesting that these medications might be rather protective against serious lung complications in patients with COVID-19 infection, but to date there are no data in humans. The Council on Hypertension strongly recommends that physicians and patients should continue treatment with their usual antihypertensive therapybecause there is no clinical or scientific evidence to suggest that treatment with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers should be discontinued because of the COVID-19 infection.”
Thank you for that. I don’t know which my husband’s hypertension med is but I’m sure glad to read this just the same.
I hate this timeline.
So do I - bitterly hate it. More than I can say.
Reminds me of a joke, one of the ones that priests always tell during homilies:
A man is at home when he hears on the news that there’s a hurricane coming and that he should evacuate. However, he chooses to stay behind, saying “the Lord will provide for me.”
The storm hits, and a local fire marshal comes by and is going door to door, telling everyone to evacuate. “No thank you,” the man replies, “the Lord will provide for me.”
The floodwaters start to rise. When they’re several feet deep, the man is forced to flee to the second floor of his house. A man comes by in a boat and offers to evacuate him, but he refuses. “The lord will provide for me!”
The floodwaters rise even further, and the man is stuck on the roof of his house. A Coast Guard helicopter flies by and offers to pick him up, but he refuses to grab the ladder, saying “the Lord will provide for me!”
However, the floodwaters continue to rise, and the man is swept away by the storm and drowns. As he lived a faithful life, he goes to Heaven, and he comes face-to-face with God.
“God, why didn’t you save me?” he asks.
God replies, “I sent you a fire marshal, a boat, and a helicopter, I don’t know what else you could’ve wanted!”
I agree with Davey about a possible 1A issue, but this Reverend Billy Sunday bull-- from guys like Browne and Junior Falwell is getting on my last nerve.
I sense another NPD traveler in this Howard-Browne. If he really needed an audience for his daily affirmation then he should have invited them in, and then Hotel California them.
He’s also apparently color blind, gauging by that picture.
"Howard-Browne bragged of having installed machines in his church that would “basically kill every virus in the place.”
“If they sneeze, it shoots it down, like, at a hundred miles an hour,” he said last week, adding: “We have the most sterile building in, I don’t know, the whole of America.”"
So his AC/Heater guy finally sold him on that Reme Halo purification system. Waiting for my home service folks to come knocking on the door but this time with the “and it fights coronavirus” tag.
LOCK HIM UP!!!
And now, a word from the Most High: “WTF? Will you people please stop doing dumbass stuff and passing the blame off on me? It’s not a good look.”
You can’t get to Heaven on roller skates, only on private jet.
That sounds suspiciously like something Trump would say about Mar a Lago.
You can’t yell “fire”. I’m not sure “cure” is that much different.
Come on it’s Florida.
ETA: would you, could you go for this? @katscherger
