    My family is far from liberal. And I amended my statement to the educated nations only — I can show you global polls on the subject but grow tired of the “all polls that don’t agree with meeee are ‘fake nuze’” con mantra so I will abstain.

    But like I said, your narrative of never traveling more than 500 feet from the nearest trailer park definitely isn’t representative.

    Well, well. I guess we should all follow the UK's lead in following Trump's lead in handling this pandemic. It has worked out so far, right?

    I think there is a forum rule violation in this post somewhere. I don't know which one but I would guess flamebait? I could be wrong. Don't worry, I won't report it, I do expect the mods to do their job. Son, I have been around the world when I served in the U.S. Air Force. But I did live in a trailer park once.

    How, cite the clause that says the federal government can force me to wear a mask. And what is his plan exactly, wear where, what's going to be his penalty for enforcement? How can a one size fits all law work in this country as vast and as diverse as it is?

    Why did he and Harris run off the stage refusing to take questions about this plan of theirs?

    Feel free to mast that report button then frien. Wouldn’t want to hurt your sensitivities.

    Your military service 50 years ago is not representative of the attitudes of today.

    Take it up with the SCOTUS, they have interpreted the law the same for a very long time.
    Most nations are doing a financial penalty only in social areas, so if you are in the park or hiking there is no mandate.
    Going into a store or place with others — wear a mask.

    Do you think no shirt no shoes no service fits the whole country?
    Airbag mandates?
    Speed limits?

    Yet the libs on here cannot wait to run to the mods with every perceived violation

    And try as you might to convince yourself, your attitudes are in the extreme minority

    Maybe that is your experience, it isn’t mine.
    What “attitudes” are that? That the rest of the major nations are either laughing or shocked at our handling of the virus?
    Because no poll I have seen shows it is an “extreme minority” opinion.

    What was it I said to you grandpa (since you jumped with the ‘son’ remark in your previous post so mods can visit them both when you whine about this one)?
    “all polls that don’t agree with meeee are ‘fake nuze’”. Right on cue! :applause:

    It's all about messaging at this point and they're on message right now.... (Kamala Harris makes my skin crawl btw but atleast shes smart enough to pick a message and not be wishy washy like a fella I know on the whole mask thing)

    Most polls were within the MOE and she did win on the useless metric they were tracking on — which was national popular vote. That you cannot understand them doesn’t mean they are incorrect.
    trump won by less than 80000 votes (less than 1% in three states)

    He can make the suggestion all he likes but this falls under State authority, not Federal.

    It is a good idea, one that I already follow. But only because it is a good idea, not because the Federal government has, or may, order me to do so.

    I have to say I am surprised Biden polls didn’t dip after the announcement — I guess the number of people that absolutely despise the corruption and narcissism of trump outweigh all other items on the ticket.

    I'm taking it up with HIM and those who support him, where does the Constitution give the power to the President to mandate everyone wear a mask and what is the enforcement mechanism. If this is the plan he is running on to show he has more leadership and better solutions he's gonna have to do a LOT better than state something for which he has no authority and then run off the stage refusing to take questions about it.
    The clear message now from the Trump task force is wear a mask, Biden is suggestion nothing different that he can actually do. And Harris's ABSURD and stupid demand that Trump tell us RIGHT NOW when we we all get vaccinated is her once again stomping her feet with her absurd notions.

    No it depends on where it's at and it's not a mandate from the President
    Cars are the same throughout the country
    They vary state to state depending on the geography of the state.

    Geezz that the best you got?

    He didn't suggest anything at the federal level. Only the state. "All governors should."

    Get real, in politics, what Biden said sounded nice as a recommendation but in real life he was saying do it...or else.

    Not really, state polling showed the below on Aug 10 2016

    upload_2020-8-13_21-55-58.png



    This is the current polling by state:
    upload_2020-8-13_21-56-59.png


    A few small differences, I don’t claim to be psychic and have no idea which way the election will go.
    It will be interesting either way — but I think most people have had enough. I know I went from voting Republican about 60% of the time to never voting for another one in my life as long as the current iteration persists.

    Boomer cons will have fought their whole lives fighting progress that would have made their lives better only to die off and have the policies implemented anyway. Ironic.

    His incompetence is the only thing that has prevented a sizable portion of his “agenda” — I shudder to think where we would be if he was competent with as corrupt and narcissistic as he is.

    I have already answered you, court precedent via the 10th amendment

    No, the law is the “best I got”.
