I know some folks here don't care for raw story, but pix & tweets... 😳

Must be our AMAZING Army Corps of Engineers!

1. Doesn't look like a C of E operation to me,

No camo.

[SheltieLover]

3. Dunno...

Thx for insights.

Maybe they grabbed what they could get for expediency?

5. None of the humans in the photos are in camo.

7. Oooh

But General on Rachel's show said FEMA, Contractors, etc - all out, concerted effort...

I have no idea.

2. The ship is doing the opposite. It is taking the current patients to allow for more coronavirus

patients in the hospital.

6. thx!

This isn't the ship though in article, it's a section of Central Park.

Surreal...

12. I know. It's one thing when it is a ship docked in a harbor, another smack dab in the mddle of

NYC.

This is getting more and more like the grimly funny "Bring out your dead" Monty Python routine.

18. Very anti LGBTQ

Gothamist notes that Graham has “a track record of using humanitarian missions to proselytize an evangelical agenda.”

The New York Times once described Samaritan’s Purse as an “American evangelical relief group that is using private donations and United States government money to help victims of two earthquakes,” and reported it “has blurred the line between church and state as its volunteers preach, pray and seek converts among people desperate for help.”

Graham wants only Christian medical staff, including doctors, to work in his field hospital.


According to Samaritan’s Purse, volunteers are asked to support Graham’s extreme anti-LGBTQ beliefs.

“The primary mission of Samaritan’s Purse is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we seek volunteers who have the same mindset. We ask that volunteers review our Statement of Faith and agree to support the ministry guidelines of Samaritan’s Purse.”



His Statement of Faith includes this belief:

“We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.”

8. Historical moments and images.

We certainly will not see many of these images again in our lifetime: empty roads in major cities, empty shelves of food, empty head of fake POTUS.
