“And the President should be example,” Pelosi said. “You know, real men wear masks. Be an example to the country and wear the mask, not only to pro — it’s not about protecting yourself. It’s about protecting others and their families.”

Per Bill Maher, Trump is an orange orangutan…
And we all know Trump is NOT a real man…
Trump is an evil Chucky/Damien manbaby!

AND

Trump says he does NOT want to wear a mask…
Just wait and see how much Trump will NOT want and hate to wear a ventilator!

Addendum:

Dear Speaker Pelosi,

What are you going to do wrt to Trump’s enabling or conspiring with Putin and then lying about not being briefed by Putin’s bounty on US soldiers in Afghanistan?

And sure to fire Fat Nixon up…

Well played…

After acknowledging that the Centers for Disease Control recommended the use of masks because it didn’t want to “offend the President,”

TPM, your edit of that info-bit has completely changed the meaning.

Times like this I can remember what it was like to live in mostly sane America, before the wicked carried us away to a strange land where we sit by the rivers of Babylon and weep for what was lost.

Maybe someday we can call this period “the missing years.”

Here’s the quote for the day on Daily Zen Calendar, from the Katha Upanishad:

When the five senses and the mind are still,
And reason itself rests in silence,
Then begins the Path supreme.

“The President should be example,” Pelosi said. “Be an example to the country and wear the mask."

If for no other reason, just to hide that revolting, Man-Tanned, raccoon-face.

(And, while we’re at it, can we get that hideous clown wig under wraps, too ?)

It looks like silk. I think it simply may be a high end designer mask. Everybody’s getting in the game.

The whole “requiring me to wear a mask is tyranny” mindset is baffling to me. Presumably, these folks who resist the masks obey traffic signals and wear seatbelts, yes? These are solutions designed to mitigate potentially hazardous situations and are imposed upon us by law.
How is wearing a mask any different?

All y’all reporters dutifully typing up Trump flacks claiming he didn’t hear “the one part” of the video with “white power” should add the context that it was 8 seconds in and that Trump is a racist liar.

Your job isn’t to simply transmit their bullshit.
