I’m curious to see how the courts treat the first case to reach them, civil or criminal, where someone alleges the equivalent of assault or endangerment due to involuntary proximity to a person or persons refusing to wear a mask.

Wolf was illegally put in that position, so NOBODY in that dept. should follow ANY of his instructions or orders.
This has been ordered by a Federal Court, so WHY is this ass-wipe still sitting in the Sec. of the DHS office?

AND the Trump Mal-Administration has formally WITHDRAWN his nomination for the Cabinet Position, so, WHY IS HE STILL IN COMMAND THERE?

Trump is not done. There has to be one or more events of paroxysm in his quiver. The election loss and subsequent court losses and other defeats represent existential threats to his very sense of self. He cannot reconcile or accept, essentially, the entire last two months of his life. He must keep making attempts to undo it all, whatever the consequences to himself and others. He won’t even be finished with it after the 20th. He’ll never let it go. Someone must pay, however long it takes to exact that revenge.

DC and every other public space should be on a war footing, and you don’t let the enemy in the front door when you’re at war.

So, I’m wondering about the long silence from the WH. Could it be that DJT has had a complete meltdown? He could be whimpering in a dark room somewhere, or he could be plotting something nefarious.

The thing about Biden’s inauguration is that it needs to be in public/ out in public, because it should cut down on the crazy conspiracy theories that he wasn’t sworn in correctly, that he was place in the Oval Office and didn’t win an election.

(this in now 3 posts today that have to translate the Trump and Trumpers thought process :face_vomiting:)

Given very recent history, I concur with the mayor’s request. I would also suggest the presence of many well-armed National Guardsmen trained in dealing with domestic unrest.
