  1. Does the right thing
  2. Manages to insult children at same time

I think you meant “spoiled children,” or adults acting “childish.”

For some reason, I am reminded of the “civility” offensive by Scalise, Grassley, and others a few years ago. Unfortunately, Grassley is more deeply offended by resistance to Tr**p than by the wholesale rape of our democracy. December 9, Grassley tweeted "I told you so about Hunter Biden. "

Funny, but most children I see seem to have no problems with wearing masks, so I’m not sure it’s an apt comparison.

But I totally agree with the premise.

It’s probably too early for him to coin the term “don’t act like a Trump”.

During a press briefing, Sununu said Hinch’s death was a “cautionary tale” after the lawmaker attended an event with his GOP colleagues where they didn’t wear masks.

A cautionary tale? Don’t attend GOP events seems about right to me, more so now that they’ve become the party of universal infection

Fine, but will this be picked up as a meme/theme/news item on Facebook anytime someone looks for information on the virus? Very doubtful. Instead, people will be routed to the latest bullshit that creates more clicks and more money for Facebook. Oh well.

I admire the previous Hive-sters who have managed to come up with a reply to this story. I am at a loss for words.

Frankly, where I live in CO, virtually all children wear masks, so they’re obviously more mature than these politicians.

Agree. Children have been very compliant and/or willing to learn and adapt. What they’re acting like is selfish, entitled nihilists. Or, just assholes. That would have been a far more precise way to describe them.
