Donnie PPP’d himself.

The foul stench and the strain of the stream into his pocket don’t seem to bother him at all.

Must be part of his cognitive impairment.

Vermont is imposing a mask mandate as of August 1st.

It's only a mandate if you have to wear it 100% of the time.

Do you ever tire of being wrong?

Not really mandating is the reason about 80% dont wear masks - including about 40% that are not social distancing.

It's not the most effective policy.

Unless the "it's overblown" faction is correct.  Then it doesnt matter as much.

Kid you equated a mandate with having to wear a mask 100% of the time.

you were wrong as to what this or any mandate is.

you want to change the subject about mask efectiveness thats a wholly different argument.

You were wrong.


If they really believe it, make it 100%

Problem is they dont know what to believe, what's actually true.

Its throwing darts - and they are covering it....... kind of.

Not good enough.

thank you for answering my question.

Kid have you considered taking a cognitive test?

You probably should and soon before things deteriorate out of control.

IMO one of the many areas that a Biden admin is going to have to address is US foreign policy from repairing relationships with long-term allies as well as reiterating our opposition to certain authoritarian regimes, inlcuding possible sanctions. Its both delicate and complicated but IMO she has the foreign policy and intelligence chops to help Biden out of the messes that Trump has created.

The Democrats might have to have the Senate to get Rice confirmed as Secretary of State.

Cool chicks

They appear happy

Hope they stay safe

Not my idea of cool.
However I like everyone to be happy and safe.

If you need to be without a mask do it in the context of social distancing out doors, preferably giving 6 meters to the nearest person, rather than 6 feet.

When unmasked in public have your mask attached to your head so if the space is not maintained you can mask up quickly with a gesture.

Avoid any space with recirculated air.

Sanitize you’re hands after events that involve touching any public surface. Filling your cart at a grocery store can count as one event.

Wash your hands where soap and running water are available after every trip and before preparing meals.

Not rocket science, simply the best play unless and until better information emerges.

The Dems have to have the Senate to keep the nation sliding of the rails. The same is true for the House and the White House.
