KY Gov Explains Why Cops Will Track Down Easter Worshipers Using License Plates: ‘What We’re Asking' is 'Love Your Neighbor’

“I think it is not a test of faith in whether you’re going to an in-person service. It’s a test of faith that you’re willing to sacrifice to protect your fellow man, your fellow woman, your fellow Kentuckian, and your fellow American.”

Lol love your neighbor but risk the cops lives for this. This governor is lacking brains. If those individuals choose to go to church then that’s their right. They can make their own choices. They are hurting no one. So risk police lives to track people down. So what put them in jail to risk others. The governor needs to understand in a couple more weeks things are going to open up. Most in his state are not listening to him anyway. I’d bet chances are he does not get another term when his time is up. Another politician that does not understand the constitution.

So Cre I take it you are ok with politicians making laws as they go? So when they deem churches are hate speech is that going to be ok with you?

Do you vote more based on personality or things like supreme court, and limiting of the fed govt? The reason I ask is because voting for a Democrat would cancel out all of the things that you prob liked in the past, especially supreme court. And the Supreme Court is the only stopgap against the radical Democrat agenda from being implemented for all of their pet social causes of the month depending what month it is.

1. Are you forgetting about the 3rd arm of the Federal government, Congress?

2. How do you know that center left Biden winning would automatically mean a Supreme Court that wouldn’t prevent radical Dem pet causes from being implemented? My goodness, you’re making a whole lot of assumptions to get to that point! Even if Biden would somehow lead to all of that, there’s always 2024 to defeat him and reverse these things.

3. It isn’t just the awful Trump personality. It is that he often acts more like a King than a Potus. It sets a dangerous precedent.

Edit: This also addresses @LetItSnow post to me.

I'm watching the press conference, and Trump is totally not a far right conservative. I'd say hes a big govt moderate republican at best.

He's definitely not a small government one, although that's nothing new. But some views of his certainly align with the far-right (and "small government" arguably isn't far-right, anyways...Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Francoist Spain, etc. had very expansive governments, for example).

I watched the first part of the press briefing, and while it started good with Dr. Fauci, it turned into a propagandist tirade that was kind of disturbing to watch.

I found it more Soviet/NK styled with the over the top music etc.....either way it was disturbing and uncalled for to say the least and points to how fragile Trump's ego is and how he cant handle anyone thinking he is anything else but as perfect as he see's himself....which makes him very dangerous to have as president.

Of course. We have heard from the left before he was elected that he is dangerous. Well so far so good. Come November we shall see if your wonderful Biden can win. If he does hope you are ready for 4 years of same bashing the left has done for the past 4.
 
The president is one sick individual. His propaganda piece today just proves it even more. He is totally delusional and consumed with himself. What's more, if Barack Obama said what Trump said today about having "total authority," some of you would totally be outside your minds right now---but because he's a Republican (in name only, of course) it doesn't even bother you.
 
During a February 29 broadcast on NBC's "Today Show," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that at that time the government was still not advising people to change their daily habits to avoid the coronavirus pandemic.

We could go to the March 9th Whitehouse Briefing; these aren't gotta lock the country down immediately the sky is falling statements from Fauci

Q You’re up, Tony. (Laughter.)


More and more organizations, charities, are canceling fundraising events, other events. Is that prudent? Is that an overreaction? Do you think the President should continue with campaign rallies? And do you believe that people, even if they’re healthy, should get onboard a cruise ship?


DR. FAUCI: Okay, so there’s multiple different questions, John.


So the idea about individual entities — governors, mayors, or whatever — canceling activities that are not coming from a direct recommendation from the federal government, I think that they have the — I don’t “think”; I know they have the authority to do that. But what they’re probably acting on is what they would consider, for their citizens, an abundance of caution.


Most of the time when that happens, it usually is in an area where there is already documented community spread. And Dr. Redfield mentioned the four areas right now that are having community spread that’s documented. But you know there may be — as we know, it’s a rea- — it’s a possibility that there’s community spread going on in areas in which we’re not detecting it yet. And I think that’s the response of the individuals, be they mayors or governors, who have you, who are doing that. So I wouldn’t criticize them for that. They’re using their own individual judgment. And to me, I think that that would be prudent.


Q Campaign rallies?


DR. FAUCI: You know, I can’t comment on campaign rallies. It really depends. We are having — as we’ve all said, this is something in motion. This is an evolving thing.


So, not sure what we’re going to be able to say at the time where you have a campaign rally. If you’re talking about a campaign rally tomorrow, in a place where there is no community spread, I think the judgment to have it might be a good judgment. If you want to talk about large gatherings in a place where you have community spread, I think that’s a judgment call. And if someone decides they want to cancel it, I wouldn’t publicly criticize them.

Q I asked one last one about cruise ships because a lot of people are planning cruises over the spring break.


THE VICE PRESIDENT: Oh, that’s — yeah.


Q Would you recommend that anybody, even a healthy person, get onboard a cruise ship?


DR. FAUCI: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think if you’re a healthy, young person, that there is no reason, if you want to go on a cruise ship, to go on a cruise ship. Personally, I would never go on a cruise ship because I don’t like cruises — (laughter) — but that’s another story.


But the fact — the fact is that if you have — if you have the conditions that I’ve been speaking about over and over again to this group, namely an individual who has an underlying condition, particularly an elderly person that has an underlying condition, I would recommend strongly that they do not go on a cruise ship.

No hes addressing a coordinated narrative from MSM and the left [check the nyt,usa today,cnn ,msnbc) who cant win in November on their own idealogy verse the results his administration has accomplished. Plain and simple. Im not gonna sit here and defend ,promote Trump character. But I can say the same for every President in my lifetime post RR. Tired of the ole beltway swamp game. Finally someone isnt afraid to throw it right back at the MSM/ left and call em out for what they are. Not label conservative Christians as a hair tick for opposing the butchering of millions of innocent babies, have pride in God , Family,Country traditional American Values. Not fold and surrender to the global Socialist movement.
