    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      One would think the community decimated by a plague 30 years ago would have a longer memory.

                      Degrees of bad:

                      1. No social distancing + no mask + being indoors = very bad
                      2. No social distancing + no mask + being outdoors = still bad, maybe better than very bad
                      3. No social distancing + with mask + being outdoors = still bad, but less bad

                      Compare and Contrast:

                      • Chicago has actually canceled the official Pride Parade. So the city government is at least smart enough to do that. What you see in the opening post is video of events organized by activists.
                      • Even then, the organizers are smart enough to require participants to wear masks. The Trump administration has not even the conscience to let the CDC publish recommendations for houses of worship concerning social distancing and mask wearing.
                      • No glad-handling politicians were there to pander to or take photos with the Chicago Pride marchers. Pence gave a speech in a church where a large choir performed indoor without mask and without social distancing. Trump actively undermine the recommendation for the public to wear mask, and organized indoor rally in a manner that actively undermined social distancing.

                      So, yeah, the Trump administration is still worse than the Chicago Pride march/rally goers when it comes dealing with the pandemic.

                            Could you send me a PM with a screenshot of the problem? Also, please try out if the problem persists if you a) reload the page, b) log out and reload the page, c) reload the page in "private mode" (test both logged in and logged out), d) view the page with a different browser.

                            If the problem occurs only sometimes and often disappears when you reload the page, it could simply be a matter of "timeouts", e.g., it took too long to load and format the Twitter post GK was quoting.

                                No, they don't. Remember Herod? King of Israel during the time of Jesus? He was a man who slipped further and further down a morality rabbit hole. Divorced his first wife and exiled her, only to bring her back and kill their son. Next wife up intrigued him for awhile and more him two sons. Then he had her and both boys executed. Took his half-brothers wife away from him and later married her. John the Baptist told Herod to his face, he was an unlawful man, constantly disobeying God and the laws of Israel.

                                Herod was scared of the ramifications of killing John, until one night at a stag party he threw in honor of his birthday, his teenage daughter danced a lewd dance for the men and sexually excited Herod so much, he promised her anything, up to half his kingdom. Her request was John the Baptist's head on a platter. Herod had John decapitated and his daughter took the head to Herodius, her mother, who was greatly pleased.

                                There are other examples of Herod's ever-increasing immorality and depravity, which is why Jesus never spoke to Herod, even when asked to. At some point, men become so wicked and will do anything they think is right, ignoring what is actually right and proper, that God can, and will, ignore them until Judgement Day.

                                Calling thousands of homosexuals crowding into the middle of the streets during a pandemic, good, while castigating churches for worshipping while trying to practice the best virus mitigation practices they can, is just another example of a reprobate mind and an example of a further slide down the morality rabbit hole.

                                “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                                Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
