Biden: I Will Institute Mask Mandate on Federal Land, ‘We Could Have a Fine’ – Can’t Do It Nationally
Breitbart ^ | 09/17/2020 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 09/18/2020 6:11:23 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During a town hall on CNN on Thursday, 2020 Democratic presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden stated that he would have the authority as president to have a mask mandate on federal property and land and he will institute one, which could come with a fine for noncompliance. Biden also stated that he would prefer to see state governors have mask mandates, and would encourage them to have state mask mandates, but he can’t do one nationally. Biden said, “I cannot mandate people wearing masks. … I would call every governor in the country into the White House, say, you should be putting mandates out. And if they don’t, I’d call the mayors in their towns, in their cities and say, put out mandates.”

Notice how the left is not preparing for “After Covid-19”? They are assuming that it stays with us for a long time, and that is their wish.


It’s a tactic to keep Covid-19 the primary issue in the election. They want Americans to believe that it’s just as bad now as it was in March if not worse, (and it’s all Trump;s fault).

They are struggling to keep the issue number one because Safety & security in the streets (Law & Order) is likely the number one issue among the American voters with Covid a distant second.

Nancy Pelosi’s lack of urgency on a coronavirus stimulus deal signals to the American People that Covid-19 is no longer the serious threat that it had been to the population back in March.

The wet dream of the left - a perpetual state of emergency.

Will be interesting to see all the troops having to wear masks will base or in the training areas. Hell, the sycophantic base commanders will have them in their gas masks for ultimate protection.

So Biden
ADMITS that the president can NOT institute a national lock-down / mask requirement / etc?
ADMITS that it the the STATES that must act and are therefore responsible for the results?
ADMITS that the Federal Government can “encourage” compliance, but not enforce it?

C’mon Man, Trump has been sayin’ that all along!

So if I am walking alone in a National Park, with no one else around for miles will I be fined for not wearing a mask?

As someone said elsewhere, it is never about the issue. It is about the revolution.

Earth to Biden: There are already mandatory mask signs at Federal builds, parks, and monuments.

Biden will have the Emergency Broadcast System send out daily reminder texts about wearing masks.

I’m pretty sure this is a loosing proposition for the Democrats... Most people don’t want mask mandates. Period!

Trump needs to point out at every rally that Biden will force Americans to wear mask.

“Masks or face coverings have been required in many places for quit some time. Seems to me they don’t work.”

Do people even know that the Chinese drone-sheep have been wearing masks ... like ... forever? And do they not understand that a bazillion of them died from WuFlu, anyhow? It seems that any logical person would conclude that, as you say, “Seems to me they don’t work.”

A trio of dorks. Judging by body language, it looks like ol’ Mom is running the show and is mandating masks for her sheep. Guy in back (hubby?) not happy.

This just sends chills up the back of my neck and made the hair on my arms stand up!

I have some African DNA, which meant that those ancestors were slaves. Any documentation shows that they and their descendants were Free Slaves by the 1700’s.

However, at one time they were slaves or indentured servants.

Elect Bidementia and the following will happen all over America.

Station official government snitchers every few hundred yards on the trails?

Network of facial recognition cameras.

For repeat offenders, equip them with paralyzing darts, then lethal bullets.

Got to feed the bears.

Biden said, “I cannot mandate people wearing masks

Then why are these mask worshipping reporters continuing to ask these ridiculous questions.

“Joe Biden stated that he would have the authority as president to have a mask mandate on federal property and land and he will institute one“

For all those out there who loved the banning of public smoking, let’s remember how it started. First, they banned smoking on any federal property or institution, then they banned smoking on city streets, local government land, then they banned smoking on state land and buildings. THEN THEY BANNED SMOKING IN PRIVATELY OWNED BUSINESSES.

This is what you get.
