Good on Nancy.
And as for Pence he is sort of right, you can’t have a second wave if we never bottom out of the first.

You go, Nancy. These fools can run to any microphone they want to vent their OUTRAGE DAMMIT OUTRAGE but they do not have the ‘right’ to infect anybody they want…regardless of their stupidity. Nope.

Now would be a good time to invite Donald over for lunch and arrest him.

Both chambers continue to enforce completely arbitrary and capricious dress codes, so, please, no whining about personal freedom of expression of opposing political views over an actually medically necessary requirement. Of course there will be such whining, but I had to ask.

Pelosi’s push to enforce mask-wearing comes as nine states hit record highs for infections.

could have easily noted here that multiple members have been infected, some even deciding to show up for work without a mask, while an entire caucus held secret the infection of a member who was actively on the chamber floor, all of them repubes by my research, since members can’t be trusted to take into account the health and well being of coworkers, imposition of regulations is mandated

read on raw story today about a North Carolina group that is holding a “burn your mask” social media challenge, with group’s leader stating that it is her right to destroy her property and it is unconstitutional to require mask wearing. So if this person poses a material threat to my welfare, what is the reasonable response?

The more I think about it, I am inclined to believe that they want a raging epidemic in November to shut down the election.

I think its just fear of Trump. Mask makes them look weak and not masculine. MAGA has been essentially told masks are for liberals.

Those who study fluid dynamics might argue on the finer points here. The second wave will be amplified by the persistence of the first wave.

okay, waaaay OT: Here in VA, our primary is next week. I have not received my absentee ballot even though I applied for it weeks ago. Just got off the phone with the elections office - they’re completely disorganized (one person said I should’ve received a confirmation number; another said no confirmation numbers - OY!). And, of course, since I “applied” I cannot now vote in person at my poll so it’s a trip downtown to vote in person on an absentee ballot. Holy shit. And this is a blue state. We are so screwed.

" Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) cast a biblical shadow over mask-wearing when he told CNN last month, that wearing a mask was“part of the dehumanization of the children of God” and said anyone wearing one was participating in that dehumanizing act."

So, full nudity required!

Has there been a mask yet made that can contain the spittle expelled by Gym Jordan?

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) cast a biblical shadow over mask-wearing when he [told CNN last month that wearing a mask was“part of the dehumanization of the children of God” and said anyone wearing one was participating in that dehumanizing act.

The scripture say this:
Commandment #1:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before Me " (Hebrew: לא יהיה־לך אלהים אחרים על־פני)

Yet, he, like all of the tRump loving minions and evangelicals cultist seem to have forgotten this. I guess now that they have elevated tRump to a God status the commandments have been downgraded to suggestions.
