Texas Governor Greg Abbott Ends Statewide Mask Mandate, Opens State 100%

You can thank the Biden administration for opening the border to hordes of illegals and reinstating "catch and release."

Texas Gov Abbott and Texas AG Paxton have been doing everything possible to secure the Texas border in spite of the Biden's administration open border policies.

Btw... illegals don't all stay in border states. They will be showing up in a city/town near you.

.

 

30 million illegal votes, huh? I'd ask for evidence, but I'm sure I'll just be told, once again, that the check is in the mail.

 

if you want to mask-up, the mask-up. Do you think people coming here who don't honor our borders care about your fetish of masks?

Take away the gate from the entrance, unlock the door of each home, but blame the homeowner when they come home to find their stuff stolen. THat is in essence what you are doing instead of demanding that the POTUS secure our borders

 

Texas AG is having to sue Austin over masks. LOL

 

lol still butthurt over losing the other thread by sheer embarrassing ignorance, I see. Going to stalk me now, like the other losers do. lol

 

Nope, completely destroying your arguments in that thread has been fun, but this is a different one. One in which you are claiming tens of millions of illegal votes. You'll provide even less evidence here than you did there, which would somehow put you in the negatives. Fun times.

 

lol delusional as well.

 

I appreciate the white flag. Seems I'm collecting them these days. I'm glad you are starting to come to terms with the fact that you can't actually provide any evidence of tens of millions of illegal votes. It's becoming a familiar pattern.

 

Great. Now do it the proper way: PER CAPITA!

 

Demand Pres Biden secure the border, heh, that's funny. We cant even be sure the guy is even lucid on a daily basis because his staff hides him from everything and lets VP Harris do all the work. Psaki isn't even allowed to admit there is a minor increase of invaders at the border let alone recognize its a massive surge and label it as such. And from the perspective of the radical far-left progressives, the ones in control of the DNC and the Biden Administration, every illegal that cross today votes blue tomorrow so better to have 50 million of them here by the time amnesty passes than the 20-25 or so we currently have.

So clearly the flood is going to continue because the Biden Admin is demolishing every levy and since that's our reality (and punishment) for the next 2 years minimum why on Earth should we not mitigate what we can; in this instance the spread of COVID that illegals are massively contributing to? Why would the TX Gov not enforce a mask mandate with harsh fines and jail time when by doing so he can get not only his own people in line but also provide a way to identify and take action against illegals?

 

Of course we can, and I do.

 

IF masking up was the end all and be all and everyone who masked up never caught covid, then I would agree. But, the reality is that masking up does little if anything. Since not touching everything and rubbing your nose, eyes or picking your nose is better at mitigating risk, then let states issue a no nose-picking, eye-rubbing law first. After all, isn't the objective to mitigate risk? If yes, then masking up is not the first item to try and enforce, however it provides visual symbolism albeit useless.

I don't know about you, but I don't water my driveway to make the grass grow. If you want to target covid, or other viruses, then go after the unclean hands. I would like to see statist politicians and Democrat media mitigate the fear mongering which they are doing.

 

That's not a reality at all, more of an anti-masker myth.

If we compare our mask education to, lets say, mathematics education then our public strategy was somewhere around 1st grade level. We needed to teach most people what type of masks to wear, how to wear them, how to handle them, how to dispose of them. I say most people because those of us who took this seriously went out and did our own research, or just used our natural [superior?] intelligence to figure these things out. But due to early supply issues and the collective ignorance of Americans we had to settle for the most basic of approaches which was to try and get people to put something over their face - and, **** man, we barely got that done. Anti-maskers aside, we saw some blatantly ineffective 'masks' that were either born out of pure stupidity or selfish spite, and of course everyone's favorite FAIL the ol' mask over your mouth but not your nose types.

But masks work - when you're wearing an effective one correctly. We really should have done a better job educating people on the particulars but I understand why we couldn't. I mean, you don't try and teach a kid algebra when they still need to use their fingers for addition. Its a shame how collectively dumb we are for being a so-called first world super power but the blame is with the people not the product.

 

anti-mask?

I note the dodge on the question. If the concept was to mitigate risk then many things should have been done before masking up. Masking up is symbolic at best. THings that should have been done

those with co-morbidities shelter in place
elderly shelter in palce
no cash transaction
no use of signature or pin when using credit/debit
not permit folk to touch goods unless they take and purchase including fruits/vegetables, toilet paper etc
arrest anyone in public caught picking their nose, wiping their eyes or touching their face. We do after all know what's best for the other, don't we?
cross contamination is the big spreader

But, instead we got the mask mandates and masked up folks caught covid due to cross contamination. People actually believed that the mask protected them.

 

I like that letter from the Texas AG. He minces no words, bravo!

 

Listen, your physical contact ideas are nice and I don't have any reason to object. Personally I've always been opposed shaking hands I find it disgusting and I simply don't do it. But the primary means of transmission and acquisition of COVID is through respiratory related means and so the first line of defense must always be masks.

 

Here are masker myths:

Widespread mask usage prevented the flu this year.

People not wearing masks cause the huge spikes in Covid.

 

So, if for example, you were lead to understand how you misunderstand the logic here, you would understand why your governor is a murderer?

 

WTF????

 

To paraphrase something you previously asked me, are those 32 thousand deaths any less painful to the victims, family, & friends, or any less of a loss to the community, because the per capita number is in the middle, rather than at the top? Or, put another way, is having the country's median (more or less) per capita death toll good enough if, by instituting more measures (like mask requirements, for starters, that don't deprive businesses, or workers, of income), that rate could have been nearer to the bottom (lowest), with THOUSANDS OF FEWER DEATHS?

 

/smh You know the left is as close to taking your state as they are to taking mine and anti-masking will help them get there.

 

So, if for example, you were lead to understand that when politics mixes with science, science suffers and the public gets misled, then would you excuse my governor and look at governors like Cuomo and Newsom?

Masks are not some holy grail in preventing infection. They are a measure of how compliant the people have become in accepting government authoritarianism and control over your behaviour.

 

Yeah, Biden "cares" so much about public health that my governor had to practically beg for our frontline federal border employees to be allowed to get vaccines if they wish.

 

What will prevent them from "getting there" is tightening up election integrity laws and making certain those laws are obeyed and not changed a few weeks or months before a major election.

 

Ok, let's suppose you are dining in a restaurant. Am I free to walk over to your table and take a dump on your food?
