Never Opinionated ASR Hobarto Opines on Virtue; Why Trump Can't Console Anyone

Donald Trump got to where he is now because in 2016 he did a lot of yelling about jobs.

 

And immigrants.

 

And AmericaFirstism — which is one of many reasons why foreign leaders don’t trust him.

 

He’s “reopening,” way way too quickly, the Nation he’s doing such a great job of destroying.

 

According to Dr. Anthony Fauci (the short in stature guy who adheres to the Hippocratic Oath he took back in 1966), it sure looks as though NFL fans will have to wait til 2021 before they can relish the opportunity of watching, in football stadiums typically financed by residents of big cities, very large and very strong men battling it out and inflicting maximum physical damage on the other team (https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/29/us/sports-coronavirus-return-spt-trnd/index.html?utm_term=1588242467364c6d615d52387&utm_source=Five+Things+for+Thursday%2C+April+30%2C+2020&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=202321_1588242467367&bt_ee=AbDvxc1GWc5AztpkbO%2FFAHcS7dG71cTGnNHD74O2v2oN%2FRhbIhs0biFXUEddb3rz&bt_ts=1588242467367).

 

As associate solitary reporter and fellow Denver resident Chris Holdsworth told us only this morning, There Will Not Be Any Normal Any More.

 

During Stay Home In Place (conspicuously disregarded by Georgia’s GOP governor, Brian Kemp), political rallies are illegal.

 

Which is why Brad Parscale, Trump's Campaign Manager, is pulling down big big bucks by selling absolutely and totally as much Trump Swag as he can (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/04/30/trump-biden-2020-presidential-campaign-virtual-coronavirus-226468).

 

Before we let you go, we are religiously, spiritually, morally, and politically (not necessarily in that order), required to let you know that this morning, we texted with associate solitary reorter Jim Bob Hobarto, our Chief Theological Correspondent, about the significance of “virtual,” because everything, especially in the Age of COVID-19 and Trump, is done virtually.

 

“SR,” Hobarto began, “as the most valiant of all the recipients of the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Extinguished Service Award, I hereby order you to read my most recent sermon on Virtue as practiced by all Unitarian Universalist Christians, of which I am the most prominent.”

 

“The four classic cardinal virtues in Christianity,” Hobarto continued, “are temperance, prudence, courage, and justice.”

 

“Any woman or man who sits in the Oval Office is morally required to demonstrate compassion when the nation she leads is devastated by tragedy, such as the massacre of twenty innocent children in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, when we still had a good President.”

 

“Barack Obama, though an emotional stoic, grieved openly when the shooter at Sandy Hook Elementary School slaughtered twenty children, after murdering his mother, as Wayne LaPierre cheered the shooter on.”

 

“But the rude guy who strutted into the Oval Office on January 20, 2017, is more focused on showing his base that he’s In Command, and he leaves the grieving to others.”
