    BTW, the Constitution didn't prevent the House from passing H.R. 1, the “For the People Act”. No Republican raised that as an objection. And what I proposed is no different in regard to its Constitutionality.

    LMAO!!! Masks never helped much in the first place. Most people are wearing cloth masks or bandannas. Many others aren't wearing them properly. And almost no one is treating their used masks as they should. I promise that the world isn't going to end if we stop wearing masks. You can come out from under your bed.

    I don't see but very few bandanas. Surgical masks are cloth. So what. And hard statistical evidence has repeatedly shown that when masks are not worn, COVID spikes, and when they are worn and social distancing is observed, cases decline.

    So you are now pro dictatorship? Interesting how dems flip so quickly when one of their own is in office.

    You do realize that there are states that never had a mask mandate?

    ~ We won't know until it goes before the Supreme Court.
    From AP :
    Every Democrat but one voted late March 3 for H.R. 1, a massive voting reform bill that has drawn harsh criticism from the GOP.
    Every Republican voted against the bill. They were joined by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.)

    Do you think a federal minimum wage is "dictatorship"?

    FL never had a mandate and we faired better than every other state our size. Much better than NY and CA.

    Because people generally wore masks in businesses at least in South FL. And businesses chose for themselves to enforce masks. I can’t walk into any supermarket and major store without one. The privately owned reptile store I go to requires it. I don’t have to wear one when I’m playing tennis or walking around outside. Rarely when walking or riding In my neighborhood do I see anyone wearing them. But people instinctively socially distance because we’re not ****ing stupid. But we don’t need a bureaucrat telling us how to live our own lives either.

    Crazy right???

    Well masks won't be needed much longer but you won't hear a lefty saying that. They must have some incentive to keep the crisis going.

    All these months later, a year in basically, you do not realize that the numbers you cite, cases and deaths, have been manipulated for the fear effect.

    You cite manipulated data and expect to be taken seriously. So Sorry.

    Yes. "It’s now clear that they were only worried about censorship if they weren’t in control of who was censored. Most of the lefty free speech/academic freedom project was really just about building a defense for communists. Now that they’re in charge, they don’t need it and are happy to discard it. It was always just useful bullshit to them."
