I think most Republicans can fully support Trump in his No Lives Matter movement.
It's really a Trump's Life Matters movement, which is why it has so little support.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

I initially fell for that one, too. That originated from Medium, which I treat as a long form Reddit. It’s poured and taken down several horrendous “articles” on COVID-19. EEE is not new and there are a handful of cases a year. It does have a high death rate.

I joked with one of my brothers that this EEE headline was one of the weaker attempts to redirect from the Dow dropping 1,800 points in a day. There was a time that scale of drop would have left the entire country feeling ready to get off the rollercoaster. June 2020? Call me when there's real news.
