Santa Claus is real.
How do I know this?
Because yesterday NSW Premier Gladys said on tv:
"We have contacted Santa Claus and informed him that,
despite the Covid travel restrictions, we have given him an exemption so he can travel anywhere. Children can be assured that he will be delivering their presents tonight.
We would like children to leave out some hand sanitiser for him to use."

Adjournment date is Jan. 3.  So all that's irrelevant at this point.   There are ten days left,  which is all that's needed.  Can't pocket veto unless some of those ten days Congress is not in session.

He doesn’t have to do anything.

That bill dies with old zcongress.

If ten days pass,  with Congress in session,  it automatically becomes law.   The ten day rule is that the bill goes back to Congress, unsigned or no.   If he received it before Dec 23, then the bill should become law?   Or is my math wrong on the dates?

I don’t believe Sunday’s count.

Biden won't make them mandatory

Why not?

Source please.   Impossible to answer without more detailed facts on what Biden's plan is to contain community spread.

That sounds right.   Maybe moot,  if override votes melt away.

Yet more religious kowtowing that SCOTUS refuses to acknowledge.

Right wingers need the right to self-rapture.

Speaking of which, why are you still here? A better world awaits you on the other side.

ScoMo's Christmas message to the nation:
"God Bless you and your family this Christmas."
The rest of it...basically that many people are grieving the loss of loved ones, loss of their jobs etc...and
"Endeavour to persevere".

Biden won't make them mandatory

Because if he did he would have to police it.
And as we all know there is a certain percentage of the American population that would say "NO"!

Christmas Day...3.30pm at my home.Just received a phone call on my cell phone...didn't get to it before it stopped ringing.
Checked the number.
It started with +377... Monaco.
Mmm, maybe it was Grace Kelly ringing from her old number.

Dirty, dirty Georgia GOP. Coal in their stockings and loses in the runoffs for the crooked plutocrats.

Merry Christmas!

Two for the price of one! Those "liberal elites" that Luee is always talking about hired undocumented workers. And the company discriminated against African-Americans, to boot.

That makes the illegal, improperly reported donations the trifecta!

a Department of Homeland Security investigation found the company circumvented laws to undercut competitors by hiring undocumented workers.

Asplundh has also faced backlash in Loeffler's home state of Georgia for discriminatory employment practices against Black employees and applicants

Yep.  Trump poisoned the waters by politicized the Virus and mask wearing.

Biden can do a lot of good by talking up mask use, putting out mask guidelines, highlighting scientific studies on masks such as this one, and putting pressure on states to call for mask usage.

At this point mandating masks would probably not be effective, be divisive and hard to enforce.  Still Biden can save some significant % of that 55,000 unnecessary deaths over the next 4 months by promoting mask wearing.

I don't see how anyone can absolve Trump, who has just totally given up, moved,on and doesn't care that the virus is spreading rapidly.  200K infected per day?  3000 deaths per day?  A total catastrophe the president is ignoring.  Extreme indifference to lives and health.

Trump's work on COVID has been done, true.  Though some COVID related matters could still be upon him this final month of term 1.
