I'm not going to mention what I'm praying for, though.

Donnie and his staff need to pray for forgiveness.

Both the Old Testament and the New have some pretty caustic things to say about his behavior.

But grifters gonna grift, so it is no surprise that right wing preachers who have Trump's ear are making the case to reopen churches as essential.

It's bigger than just another few weeks or months of tithing/revenue. It's about the congregation realizing they don't need the church, the preacher, or the financial obligations that come with them. That risks permanent or semi-permanent loss of revenues.

For wicked men are found among my people; they lurk like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men. Like a cage full of birds, their houses are full of deceit; therefore they have become great and rich; they have grown fat and sleek. They know no bounds in deeds of evil; they judge not with justice the cause of the fatherless, to make it prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy. Shall I not punish them for these things? declares the Lord, and shall I not avenge myself on a nation such as this?” An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land

and bet that The Man/Woman/Creator has heard more prayers in the last three years than in the last millennium. Doesn't seem to have helped.

I mean he has their unending support, despite Stormy Daniels, despite Access Hollywood, despite playing golf at Mar a Lago every Sunday instead of attending church services, and a host of other examples.

I'd say they have set a low bar, but that's an insult to low bars everywhere.
