Question: if you hook up with random strangers you meet on a dating app regularly, are you a serial killer?

I doubt people are socially distancing and wearing masks when they get their urges

If the rally was held outside, there's not an issue. Holding it inside seems pretty stupid to me. Why risk it?

Needless to say, there was a plethora of exposed mouths and noses in this indoor space. This is happening every day and night. Why it’s okay for gambling but not for political speech makes absolutely no sense.
Maybe because the slot machines and the tables have space between them and or plastic barriers to separate people? I don't go to casinos because I think smokers do pose a risk, if I can smell their smoke then I figure I can catch whatever they are exhaling - but I don't think you can claim that they are anywhere near as high of a risk as rallies. There is no separation at rallies they pack those people in like sardines.

Remember that controversial rally he had in June in Tulsa?

Oklahoma Breaks 70,000 COVID-19 Cases, Sets New High in Active Cases with More Than 10,000

Tulsa County had 56 of the cases reported Monday. Its total stands at 15,202, second to Oklahoma County's 15,293.

Even if you're a Trump supporter you should be questioning the rationality of this new indoor
nearly maskless Nevada rally
I did not like having the rally in Tulsa or the one in Henderson but if you look at the graph for new cases in Oklahoma it does look like there was a spike after the rally. But if you look at a graph of new cases in Missouri it also looks as if cases increased then. Or if you look at a graph in Nevada it increased after Trump's rally in Tulsa. I suspect the increase in cases in Oklahoma had very little to do with the rally.

However used that phrase, "lack of basic Christian kindness," is possibly psychotic and definitely dishonest.

Would the author suggest that killing babies and promoting the entertainer who hisses about drugging men and wap exemplifies Christian kindness?

Here you go, interpret it however you choose.

“ The poll also asked respondents how they evaluated Trump and Biden against seven biblical virtues and sins. According to the study, the perception that Trump lacks “basic Christian kindness is the strongest driver of defecting from Trump in 2020.”

The poll suggests that seven out of the top eight predictors of Trump 2016 voters defecting “concern Trump’s perceived absence of Christian virtues.”

“Furthermore, disaffected Trump voters may generally be willing to forgive the president’s perceived sins, but not his perceived lack of basic kindness,” the analysis reads. “This pattern was consistent across both Catholics and Evangelicals, as well as across males and females. It was also present for younger and older respondents alike, but especially strong among older respondents, who are especially likely to defect from Trump because of a perceived lack of Christian virtue.” ”

Super-spreader Trump only cares about one thing: re-election. That's what got him impeached (busted extorting Ukraine -wanted the country to investigate his primary political opponent Biden).

These Americans were at his rally yesterday.....what's missing?

Social distancing/masks.

Trump is a hyporcrit when he says "WE DID EVERYTHING" to fight the virus.

That's the attitude that is keeping us near the top of the charts in daily infections and deaths, its our right to ignore science and act dumb. We need to follow the presidents lead in the race to the bottom.

OK, I went against Trump on the indoor rally but am certainly not going to defend his impeachment, which was a sham. Trump didn't do a darn thing wrong with Ukraine. Biden & dems got nervious because Biden's son is sitting on the board of directors of that Ukranian company and is up to his eyeballs in corruption.
