    If there was any doubt that the GOP is officially the party of anti-masking let it now be settled.

    My tee shirt is as effective as a mask.

    In that article there's not a single democrat is biatching about social distancing, what happened to that mandate? Meanwhile, this guy is wearing a mask and a face shield. It's getting stupid and I believe part of it is Pelosi helping Newsom come up with an excuse to have mail in ballots for his recall election. The china virus has been politicized and weaponized by democrats.

    They have because, of course they would, but thing is this time... they're not wrong. Well, I mean they're not wrong on everything. Clearly their objectives on COVID are in conflict with their objectives as far as admitting in as many illegals as possible and busing them all around the country, and of course rules for thee not for me still applies if a senior Dem official wants to break mitigation measures they signed off on. Not to mention the nursing home fiasco, and I've ranted to no end about the Biden Administration's moronic decision to unmask America last May. But tangents aside the mainstream effort to mask up and vaccinate is the one we need to be on and the Dems are leading that charge while Republicans are, well, this article as case in point.

    Lol I hear they challenged Pelosi to arrest them. Pelosi isn't even in the Senate yet thinks Congress is hers.

    I'm sure the GQP still pretending that the current pandemic is fake and continuing to encourage their trumpists base that this is the best strategy to win the midterms will work like a charm. It worked wonders for them last November. LOL

    It's nice to see someone in the government can actually do math and realizes there is no real risk here with all the vaccines and those with natural immunity.

    I think they've really flipped their lids. The once Grand Old Party is a pile of rubble. It will take years to rebuild the party but for the democrats this is probably good news.

    Gov Hair Grease is mailing out ballots to all registered voters. They are keeping all the COVID voting rules in place.

    Stuff your vaccine mandate

    It's obvious this has really upset you. I don't blame you one bit. It is beyond silly. Trump could have lead by example instead of mocking Biden and holding super spreaders all last year. Sure, there would have been some anti-vaxxers (left, right and middle) but I don't believe we would be seeing this blatant disregard for the recommendations set forth by the CDC (however annoying and ever-changing they are).

    More than anything, I think it's important to put this in the proper perspective. It would NOT matter one tiny bit WHAT Biden was recommending or mandating. They would plunge themselves on the sword just to spite him. It's really a childish game (and both sides play a role). It's the game of "Tell me what you want so I can say 'no'." That's it.

    This is why we need to consider third party. I'm sure this will anger both the dems and repubs here but both parties have had it.

    Good for the GOP it's time to set an example. Hopefully this will encourage others to disobey.

    It's time to stand up against this nonsense.

    How about a major third party?
