Who in the name of medical emergencies would have thought that wearing a mask to prevent the spread of a killer virus would become a political issue?
It did during the current monstrous pandemic.
President Biden signed a slew of executive orders upon taking office. One of them calls for mandatory mask wearing on all federal property. He has asked all Americans to wear a mask for at least the first 100 days of his administration.
Hey, we’re all in at our house.
The mask-wearing protects not just those who wear them but also those who are in contact with the masked individual. He calls mask wearing an act of patriotism. He said Wednesday after taking his oath of office to wear a mask “for God’s sake … do it for the country.”
Too damn many right wingers have seen mask wearing as some sort of panic-button act, that they don’t want the government to dictate how they should behave. What a crock!
The disease has killed more than 400,000 Americans! More of us are going to die. The pandemic is out of control, despite claims to the contrary by President Biden’s predecessor, who on his way out of Dodge referred to the pandemic in the past tense, as if it’s gone. Ridiculous!
Wearing a mask to protect ourselves and others is not the kind of thing to be kicked around like a proverbial political football. If it helps save lives, count me in!
After signing, he was another case of “do as I say, not as O do”. Are you going to write about his hypocrisy?
If it was Trump, you would’ve dictated a stupid post to it. Biden, again, proves he’s a hypocrite and all is fine.
What a crock!!
