One of the few right things our Governor did in Virginia was to NOT mandate masks outdoors

The perfect epitaph!

Just fixing a typo:

What else is happening in Nov 13 early November that would have them insisting it was important to lock us down until then specifically? Hmmm. Can't think of a thing.

I was lectured by a woke woman on a trail this morning about how I shouldn’t be wearing a neck gaiter.

I'm actually loving this gaiter controversy. Did you see the flood of articles in the last week claiming gaiters are worse than not wearing a mask at all? Apparently they have a 110% inefficiency rating - where no mask at all is 100% and a perfect mask is 0%.

Although I am yet to be somewhere requiring a mask, if I had to it would be a gaiter. My anti-virtue statement. "Oh, I though they said I had to have a cloth covering my nose and mouth. Isn't this a cloth? Am I doing it wrong?" :)

This is about separating Trump from his base.

Most of us were ticked-off enough when he went along with a recommendation and we’ll be really cheesed if he signs-off on a mandate.

He has a presser at 5:30 so we’ll know soon enough.

Wasn’t that long ago that sleepy Joe was in favor of unmasking.

WTF is a “mandate”?

Is that like where the Feds “mandate” certain things for state/local governments/individuals to do and then give them NO MONEY to do it with?

Is that like a “proclamation” or something, like from a dictator or a king?

wouldn’t it have made more sense that he wore a Bicycle Helmet rather than a Face Mask?

Not really. If Joebidimentia fell off his bike and hit his head:

He would be the same after the fall as before the fall. He has nothing to lose!

This is about the Great Reset: "a reset of everything, and the United States of America, right now, is in the way of all of it. So they are destabilising our entire country."

Anybody who thinks otherwise is dangerously naive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb9jRqgDOJ8&feature=youtu.be

"Shortly after the speech at the UN that Donald Trump delivered, what do you think happened? The coronavirus was unleashed on the world, and Trump's booming US economy went on life-support. You think that was an accident?"

"The name of the game now is to bring the United States economy to its knees, get it out of the way, so that everyone will want the Great Reset, make the 'new normal' so intolerably abnormal that even you and I maybe in the near future will be begging for the vaccine, so that we'll be driven crazy by that point, begging for whatever else is going to keep us safe according to our jailers and our handlers and our zoo-keepers. You see, that's what they want, that's why they keep using the term 'new normal.'"

"The 2021 Davos Summit is coming up right after Christmas, and for the Great Reset they need President Joe Biden to hand us, the United States, over to them if he wins this election. This is why they are trying so hard to take Donald Trump down."

"No one...no country will be allowed to opt out. This is what we're facing in November."

"they made a mistake: they tried to get Trump on their side. They invited Donald Trump to Davos, I think a couple of times. But in January, I think when Donald Trump really began to see the Beast that he was up against, he went to Davos, to the World Economic Forum, and he stuck a megafinger in their eye:

'We're committed to conserving the majesty of God's creation and the natural beauty of our world, but to embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform, and control every aspect of our lives. We will never let radical socials destroy our economy, wreck our country.'

~Donald Trump

"Two days after Donald Trump gave that speech...George Soros made an emergency intervention, at Davos, once again, warning that 'the 2020 US Election will determine the 'fate of the whole world.''"

"Do you see why there's so much hate for Trump?" "He never will be one of them."

"What can we do to fight back? ..."

"For heaven's sake, go back to church and pray that Trump wins in November."

"That's what the Reset is about. That's what the "Russia Hoax" was all about. That's what the "Impeachment Hoax" was about. You see? For four years they've been trying to stop this man because if he succeeds, if he strengthens America, if he makes it great again, if he brings the economy back--again, the Reset won't happen; the New World Order's going to be set way back. Who knows when they're going to have another Covid Opportunity like this one again?! And they know it. So ask yourself why they hate this man."

"They hate Donald Trump, whose political opponents, by the way, right now are knocking statues of saints to the ground; they're beating up cops; and they're burning flags."

"The choice is simple, friends: Stand with America right now, or fall with the New World Order in the not-so-distant future. There's no other choice."

‘"I have a lot of enemies. This may be the last time you see me for a while. I have a lot of very rich enemies. They're not happy with what I'm doing. But I figure we have one chance to do it. No other president is gonna do what I do."’

LOL, Well I can define a mandate, but they cannot define what legal authority backs it up.

No, the real reason is this: wearing masks is very popular with the democrat base. The democrat base has bought the narrative that wearing a mask is more about protecting others than protecting yourself. To them, it has become the highest form of selfishness to not wear a mask.

There are STILL a lot of places in this country where it is illegal for an adult to wear a mask in public; they didn’t even bother to modify or remove the laws - which just generates more disrespect for the law.

Excellent point. Sorry, too dangerous for me to debate in person. I’ll be in the basement connecting via video chat. Oops, technical difficulties just before I could answer you question, don’t worry as soon i I get talking points they will be fixed.

Judging by the distance of the back rows, it must have been a devil of a size. Far behind its sweeping ridge a great edifice jutted into the sky, a cubical erection with walls of glossy squares, like an immense glasshouse.

“F’wot.?” bellowed Patty, with obvious heat. “Wuk, wuk, wuk, mor, noon’n’ni’! Bok onned, ord this, ord that.” He stuck an indignant finger against the mysterious object on his cranium. “Bok onned, wuk, wuk, wuk. P’wot?” he glared around. “P’nix!” The crowd murmured approval somewhat timidly. But it was enough for Patty. Making up his mind, he flourished a plump fist and shouted, “Th’ell wit’m!” Then he tore his box from his pate.

Nobody said anything, nobody moved. Dumb and wide-eyed, the Crowd just stood and stared as if paralyzed by the sight of a human being sans box. Something with a long, slender streamlined body and broad wings soared gracefully upward in the distance, swooped over the auditorium, but still the crowd neither moved nor uttered a sound.

A smile of triumph upon his broad face, Patty bawled, “Lem see’m make wuk now! Lem see’m — ”

He got no further. With a rush of mistiness from its tail, but in perfect silence, the soaring thing hovered and sent down a spear of faint, silvery light. The light touched Patty. He rotted where he stood, like a victim of ultra-rapid leoprosy. He rotted, collapsed, crumbled within his sagging clothes, became dust as once he had been dust. It was horrible.

The watchers did not flee in utter panic; not one expression of fear, hatred or disgust came from their tightly closed lips. In perfect silence they stood there, staring, just staring, like a horde of wooden soldiers. The thing in the sky circled to survey its handiwork, then dived low over the mob, a stubby antenna in its prow sparking furiously. As one man, the crowd turned left. As one man it commenced to march, left, right, left, right.

Tearing off the headband, I told Buiman what I’d seen, or what his contraption had persuaded me to think that I’d seen. “What the deuce did it mean?”

“Automatons,” he murmured. “Glasshouses and reaction ships.” He thumbed through a big diary filled with notations in his own hands. “Ah, yes, looks like you were very early in the thirtieth century. Unrest was persistent for twenty years prior to the Antibox Rebellion.”

“What rebellion?”

“The Antibox — the revolt of the automatons against the thirtieth century Technocrats. Jackson-Dkj-99717, a successful and cunning schemer with a warped box, secretly warped hundreds of other boxes, and eventually led the rebels to victory in 3147. His great grandson, a greedy, thick-headed individual, caused the rebellion of the Boxless Preemen against his own clique of Jacksocrats.”
