Me too. I feel the same about several republican positions. I mostly vote republican, believe it or not, but identify as independent. I see good on both sides in different areas. 2

california boy Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 Almost All COVID Transmission Is Happening in These 5 Places, Doctor Says Churches are the fifth most likely place to catch Covid. 1. Bars 2. Restaurants 3. Coffee Houses 4. Hotels 5. Churches. Quote Houses of worship that allow large groups of people to gather pose a significant threat, especially those where visitors sing, thereby expelling more viral particles. The CDC study found that 7.8 percent of people who tested positive for COVID had been to a house of worship. Quote "It's really these five primary locations where 80 percent of viral transmissions are happening in our society." According to Gupta, full stay-at-home orders are likely not necessary if we target the five spots. "Much of society can still stay open and still function as long as people wear masks and things like that, it doesn't need to go into a complete lockdown," he explained. Probably just a war on bars. They should take their case to the Supreme Court.

After 3rd Monolith Appears in California, Homophobic White Supremacists Tear It Down Chanting ‘Christ is King’ and Replace it with Wooden Cross: WATCH Quote During the livestream, a group of young vandals tore down the monolith and replace it with a wooden cross. Said the group’s leader: “Christ is king of this country. We don’t want illegal aliens from Mexico or outer space. So let’s tear this **** down, c’mon.” Quote “America first,” said one of the men after it was on the ground.
