Wearing A Mask Is Just A Good Idea

It’s hard to imagine these dullards ever getting beyond working the drive thru at Wendy’s.

Suddenly whoopsie they see Lockdown II: The Kiss of Death as the summer blockbuster it’s shaping up to be, they see themselves getting curb-stomped at the polls and existing as a rump party for the next 20 years and suddenly masks aren’t so bad now are they, really? Pandering hypocrite. You know what else would be a good idea, you punk? Putting a sock in it. Not for everyone, just for you.

Now was that so hard? Doesn’t it feel good to do something actually beneficial for a change? Now plant that seed in the ground and water it. No need to use fertilizer, you’ve added enough bullshit to the environment as it is.

“One of the elements of the genius of America is the principle of federalism, of state and local control,” Pence told CBS. “We’ve made it clear that we want to defer to governors. We want to defer to local officials, and people should listen to them - except for that woman in Michigan, who is a hard-core commie.”

The “internal mask.” Knitters will overtake sewers in home mask production, hopefully in time for the GOP convention.

To be fair, working the drive-thru at Wendy’s requires a certain level of cognizance; e.g. when someone asks for extra ketchup you can’t freeze like a deer in a headlight.

Dude, if they throw Trump overboard, they’re going to put you both in the same gunny sack with some snakes. You are way too connected to this mess to save yourself.

That’s why we need the Lincoln Project to keep bending, folding, spindling, and mutilating him.

No one in the Trump admin can be trusted. Pence tells people to wear a mask and yet he doesn’t. If Trump calls him and screams, Pence will reverse course tomorrow

Trust me, I was in no way disparaging FF workers!

It’s just that after 10 or 12 months those people usually move on up.
