Packing the churches on Easter Sunday is a total win in Trump's mind. He gets the dramatic visual and the big win, and a bunch of people showing faith in him, probably literally thanking him in their prayers... and the consequences are delayed.
The lack of immediate consequences means they're a problem for another day. Nothing directly, visually connects them to those packed churches on Easter. He can play it off, or try to.
Trump likes declaring things. Infrastructure weeks, investigations, plans, signings. Victories. He'll declare victory on Easter Sunday, and his plan for the flare-up that follows will be: declare victory over that, too.

So-called experts at Imperial College told us to spray thousands of gallons of water directly into a burning building or not only would it be destroyed but the entire block, so we did.

Now it turns out the burning building was only partially damaged, and the rest are fine?
So-called experts at Imperial College told us not to drink and drive, so we stayed sober at the party and then we drove home fine. Not a single accident! If we weren't going to get into an accident, why did we bother staying sober? We need to get to the bottom of this scandal.
Seriously, the wide-spread right-wing vitriol being heaped on the Imperial College report as new projections come out based on more widespread data and following the imposition of social distancing and containment measures is something to see.

With so many scheduled events and long-set plans canceled, I think it's important to have a list of things we want to do after, a personal light at the end of the tunnel.
Making a list like this doesn't require you to imagine a particular normal for the world to settle into, or even be able to imagine life after.

It's even possible making a list will help you imagine a life after lockdown, if you're struggling.
My list includes:

1. Get a tattoo.
2. Try HRT.
3. Go visit friends I haven't seen in ages/would have seen at WisCon.

...I thought people were confused/surprised there were masks in the crypt but from the comments people are shocked that a cathedral has a crypt?

A of all, it's an architectural term.

B of all, this is like being surprised a church has a graveyard attached. They go hand in hand.
Anyway, if I were thinking of places where people might wear breathing masks for workplace safety reasons, "crypt" might not be the first place I'd think of but I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up on a list.

Old basement. Poor ventilation.
Even without mouldering skeletons crammed into wall niches, it's probably not the best breathing environment.

Welcome to today's #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial thread (potentially one of a few)! I've been playing around with tags a little in other tweets this morning but for now, I'm going to stick with the two I've used here. That may change later on, though. Follow/mute at will!
Today is going to be procedural stuff. The Senate will have to approve the (completely BS) rules proposed by McConnell. Dems will offer amendments, of course, but since a simple majority rules I don't have a lot of hope any of the amendments will pass. #Trump #ImpeachmentTrial
For those of you just tuning in, McConnell is proposing that this trial have:

Zero witnesses
Zero admitted evidence
Ridiculously little time set aside for opening arguments and questions.
As little sunlight as possible.

Trump totally insulted Ireland and the PM. First, he wanted the PM to come to his golf course for a state visit (even though it was approx 180 miles from the capital) and so instead they met at Shannon Airport. #trump #Ireland businessinsider.com/varadkar-met-t…
Then, just as the reinstitution of a border with Northern Ireland under Brexit has heightened tensions and fears of a return to sectarian violence, Trump comes in praising borders and walls. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Finally, when asked if his trip to Ireland was just to promote his golf course, he said "this trip is really about great relationships that we have with the U.K" ignoring the fact that Ireland has not been part of the UK since 1922. #trump #Ireland washingtonpost.com/world/europe/i…

#Trump starts his “major announcement” bragging about performing a swearing in ceremony in the oval office.

PEOPLE ARE NOT PROPS, JACKASS.

#TrumpAnnouncement
#Trump: Many mothers give their young daughters birth control for the long journey to America because they know they may be raped or assaulted.

The worst part of this? There’s no way to know whether it’s the birth control or the assaults that offend them.

#Trump is having trouble speaking. Somebody messed up his “Sudafed” dose.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
