I am sure it is different out here in the sticks than in the metro areas.

I agree completely, but am sorry all to heck that I can’t get to Victoria this spring, summer, or fall. :disappointed:

Bullshit. Pure and unmitigated. The first step isn’t hard at all.

TRUMP: “I was wrong. Masks are effective and necessary. If you are in a ‘hotspot’, if you have to go indoors in a public venue, if you can’t socially distance, WEAR A MASK!” (And then he leads by example.)

See? Easy peasy! But this?

“Everything we knew about coronaviruses before that point told us that people were not likely to spread when they were asymptomatic,” Adams said. “So the science at the time suggested that there was not a high degree of asymptomatic spread. We learned more.”

Give me a fucking break! That’s like saying, “Nobody knew it could be a pandemic!” month after the WHO started warning about it, over 6 months ago!

We knew masks would prevent spread AND that it was spreading asymptomatically by late February. As that news was entering the general consciousness, Trump (and his enablers, this guy among them) was still calling the whole thing a HOAX, or saying that masks aren’t needed.

No, what’s hard is going back on 6 months of constant, entrenched, daily, incessant contrarian bullshit, spread by your lickspittle sycophantic PR.

I’ve seen enough of that for one lifetime, let me tell you.

Actually, on second thought, getting Trump to admit he was wrong is probably the single most difficult thing in the entire fucking world. Please get that trash heap out of our White House? Pretty please? Before it kills us all?

Fauci was recommending wearing mask on April 3rd.

Yah … telling the truth is really hard… for trump or anyone who works for him, supports him or would enable his incompetency and infamy as a traitor as a member of Congress

I am disgusted by alla the people in government. They could’ve done so much and chose to sit on their upturned thumbs.
Shame will be eternal. On grave stones all over the country and the world. America did not care

Just goes to show you, even African-Americans can be lying pricks.

We have eyes and ears, jackoff. We know EXACTLY why Trump acts the way he does. His greatest campaign positive WAS the economy. He fucked that up and tried a second tome with the re-opening. Now he’s fucked that up too.

So, now he’s trying a mask. What he should have done in early fucking MARCH.

The mask doesn’t go over his nose? Why bother wearing one if you’re going to do that?

That runs far beyond stubborn and arrogant. As usual with Trump, anything that looks like a sense of responsibility is really just for show.

And he’s screwing that up by not wearing as he should over his nose and mouth.
See @skeptical 's post at around #100. I would repost it but discobot …our bot overlord would have a conniption over it and post a scolding to me. Our overlord bot who watches and reads all we post and passes judgement here and there and will scold you for three posts in a row or a third back and forth with another poster. Apparently 3 posts out of 126 is too many for us peons to post in a row. As you can see I have no love for discobot.

Si.

I loved it and also wondered why we can’t throw water and eggs on our politicians.

Sure, confusion is a response, but not the end. Becoming “awake” involves seeing our confusion clearly, and taking the next thoughtful steps. I’m not sure these people are capable of taking that next, extra step.

  1. Trump wore the mask incorrectly (under his nose) during some portion of that visit

  2. Trump emphasized that he was wearing the mask because it was an “appropriate environment” (a hospital), thereby implying wearing one anywhere else was unnecessary.

I think that’s about when I went from “a home-made mask isn’t a patch on an n95 so what’s the point?” To “ohhh shit. You can be contagious before you know you’re sick. A home-made mask will definitely keep you from getting other people sick if you’ve got it and don’t know yet”

What an effing idiot. This is malicious, criminal, and immoral. He’s clueless, and he doesn’t care. Maybe he could borrow a XXXL Husky size of his 3rd wife’s “I don’t care, do U” coat. And wear that over his entire face.

“We’re trying to correct that messaging,” Adams said. “But it’s very hard to do.”

Jerome “Messaging is Hard” Adams strikes again!

A true clown. Yes, the sturgeon general is a limp fish.

I don’t see why Nappy Face* Donald should wear a nappy on his anus dentata (he doesn’t use it to cover his orange nose). After all, shoving your turd head up your capacious arse is like wearing a mask already.

* Trump’s biggest fear: In his pathetic and weird looking glass he looks like a sissy. He has been terrified that someone would see him wearing a “nappy” on his face and mock him. He is not even a three-year-old. Poor liddle Nappy Donald.

It’s my rule for cooking. If I need to wash my hands, a dish gets washed at the same time. Does wonders in keeping the mess down.
