I am beginning to wonder if any Democrats ever visit real America anymore. Most of them live in places that are cocoons of socialist fetish and would probably find it difficult to communicate with anyone from flyover country. I used to think it was just the Beltway Dems who were like that but I’m now pretty sure that they’re all a little sheltered.
Take the mask situation, for example. We’ve been dealing with this for a year now. Yeah, there are a lot of people like me who haven’t been that thrilled with it, but we wear the damn things. I complain about it on Twitter or here from time to time but if a place I want to go eat or drink wants me to wear a mask while I’m walking to my table, I will. As long as I can take it off as soon as my butt hits the seat and enjoy a beer or four, we’ve got no problems. It’s not ideal, but I live with it.
Most of my friends feel pretty much the same.
When I see or hear Democrats talking about the wearing of masks, it sounds like there is a mass conservative anti-mask resistance under way in America. It would seem that we are all running around mask-free, in full grandma-killing mode.
The drooling puppet occupying the Oval Office won’t shut up about masks. Or mask mandates, specifically. He ignores the data that shows that the states which had mandates didn’t really fare any better than states like mine which didn’t.
Now that the vaccine is becoming more and more available — it’s available for 16 and older here in Arizona now — one would assume that the lefties might dial it down a little about the mask stuff.
One would be wrong.
President Babbles was back at it yesterday, which Bryan wrote about:
Joe Biden delivered remarks today in which he begged Americans to continue wearing masks. Most are; compliance is above 90% and has been for a long time. It’s the elites who fail to heed mask and other COVID directives. Vaccinations are also proceeding apace thanks to Trump’s Operation Warp Speed, though the Biden administration saw fit to float the idea of “vaccine passports” on the public Monday.
As Biden was walking away from the podium, a member of the lapdog media helpfully asked him if he wanted states that are reopening their economies to pause.
Biden paused from putting a mask on his blank face, turned, and answered “Yes.”
So we’re supposed to still flail around like it’s March, 2020.
These people are horrible.
By the way, Biden’s rapid decline was on full display during this little speech. He gravely let the nation know that we can’t risk any “more desks” or something:

Seriously, I don’t know how they keep letting this guy out in public.
He says it’s not about politics, but it really is. As Bryan pointed out in his post, people are wearing the masks, even in places where there aren’t mandates. Businesses are still free to require them, and most do.
The Democrats, however, find it impossible to resist the urge to have the government in control of every aspect of our lives.
They don’t and they won’t until they have converted true America into THEIR America. That is, the America where everyone is a victim, everyone else is to blame and everything anyone decides is a right BECOMES a right which everyone else is bound to acknowledge and respect.
So, do vaccines work or not? It appears that they don’t, that idiot Biden doesn’t have any faith in them (or forgot he got it) since he still wears masks… sometimes. All this is is the left trying to condition us to having our freedoms and liberties taken away whenever the State feels like taking them away.
He misread something on the teleprompter. I care more about the message, which is clear and entirely appropriate.
COVID cases are presently increasing again in more than one-half of our states. With increasing numbers vaccinated, that should not be happening. It’s happening because COVID variants are now widely present and capable of rapid spread, and because unvaccinated people are dropping simple protective measures too soon.
What is the opposition’s message about that? Have they got anything useful to offer besides fixation on Biden’s verbal glitches?
@Greg:
He can’t speak with a teleprompter and he can’t speak without one. He has always been an idiot; now he’s a demented idiot and YOU idiots put him (through fraud) in office.
Numbers are increasing because the numbers are being manipulated. Again.
@Deplorable Me, #3:
There’s manipulation, alright, but it isn’t happening where you think. Masks, social distancing, and vaccinations aren’t part of a nefarious government plot to take away our personal freedom. They’re part of an effort to stop a pandemic that has already killed more than half-a-million of us, and is still capable of killing a lot more.
It’s hard to believe that people don’t have the sense and self-discipline to bear with a few more weeks of inconvenience when so much depends on it.
@Greg: It’s happening exactly where I think and the same place it has been all along. The CDC suddenly realized after the idiot was installed that, GOLLY! the way tests are being done creates almost twice the number of cases as there really are. And, gee whiz, perhaps counting everyone that dies anywhere of any thing isn’t the best way to keep records of COVID19 deaths. But when the numbers declined, this corrupt totalitarian police state got scared they would lose their controlling grip on the people and they might be not living in fear as much as benefits the Democrat party. So, the fear needs to be ginned up some more.
“A few more weeks”? Bullshit. Fauci says it could be years. Is idiot Biden going to refute the “science”? Well, when it comes time for the BLM/ANTIFA thugs to riot again in Minneapolis and the rest of their usual targets, masks or social distancing won’t be so critical… again. Besides, how can an “idea” spread a virus?
How about keeping illegal immigrants with a 10% infection rate out of the country? If you are afraid of variants and spread, why the F**K are you letting that happen?
BULLSHIT. You spout nothing but BULLSHIT.
@Greg:
You’ve been pimping this left wing bullshit for over a year now. So why don’t you take a look at NPR’s charts (knowing how you love NPR)? The states with the most onerous lockdown rules, killing their businesses forever, are the states that have the highest rates of infection; New York, Vt., Mass., Conn., Del., et al, all eleven states under HIGH risk are blue states.
Fortunately the liar you wanted to put back into the White House is now in Florida, awaiting indictments, and we have a rational man in his place. I guess I should be content with that. Nobody is going to deprogram his followers, least of all me. There are too many shills and idiots with megaphones who have a personal interest in keeping the lies alive—if not members of the public who they supposedly serve:
The GOP is facing a sickness deeper than the coronavirus
@Greg:
How come you’re not upset about the lies that Beijing Biden (better known as PINO Biden) tells? You ignore his lies and he is the demented racist that is currently in the Oval Office.
Maybe because you are a lying Communist piece of scum? Yep, that would be the reason.
Because you’re full of conspiracy theory and right-wing disinformation, while I am not.
@Greg: Through fraud, a greatly successful leader to removed from the White House and replaced with an incompetent puppet that doesn’t know his ass from Kamala’s mouth. Hell, he directs her to go take the hit for the massive disaster he created on the border and she tells him to shove it. Who’s in control, him or her? Probably neither; the government is in free-fall.
One thing is for certain; no one here needs to be deprogrammed from thinking the vicious, murderous, left wing terrorists, BLM and ANTIFA are just an “idea”. People stupid enough to believe that don’t have anything upstairs to program in the first place.
@Greg:
What conspiracy theory?
What right-wing disinformation?
Not that you’ll answer that.
Seems you’re projecting again. You are the one that clings to the
“the Steele Dossier is true” bullshit, Comrade Greggie.
Americans, contrary to what Democrats think of us, are not stupid. And we’re getting damn tired of you radical Socialist Communists treating us like we are.
@retire05, #11:
I already said what the particular cracked-brain, right-wing conspiracy theory in question is:
The problem with this one is that it will kill people. And then you’ll deny that it did, because you think that the statistic that 550,000 Americans have already died from COVID-19 is also part of the conspiracy.
Goofball conspiracy theory has become part of the right’s world view. Global warming is a hoax; Obama’s Deep State is secretly running our intelligence community; the Chinese deliberately turned loose COVID-19; the Capitol siege was actually the work of ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter; George Soros secretly controls the Democratic Party; a cult of pedophiles secretly control the Democratic Party; Hillary Clinton was involved with the trafficking children out of a Washington DC pizza restaurant; the Democratic Party is a front for communist takeover; Hillary Clinton sold a quarter of our uranium to Russia; Trump actually won the 2020 election by a landslide… It boggles the mind that people actually believe this stuff.
@Greg:
And not once have you laid the blame for the world wide pandemic at the feet of the Chinese. Why is that, Comrade?
You are a FUCKING liar. I have never said anything even remotely close to what you are claiming. But I will say this: take your face diapers and shove them right square up your ass. And explain this; if I get the vaccine, why do I still have to wear a face diaper? If I have had the Kung flu and have the antibodies, why do I have to wear a face diaper? Why is Beijing Biden releasing COVID positive illegals into our nation?
I am not going to be shamed by the likes of a Communist pig such as yourself because I refuse to give up my Constitutional guaranteed rights. You want to be told what you can, or cannot, do by some temporarily elected bureaucrat, have at it. It doesn’t surprise me because you have no moral center, just your willingness to swallow (like a cheap hooker) the crap of the left that you are fully indoctrinated in.
@Greg: Speaking of crack-brained conspiracies, perhaps you can show us where masks have worked their magic.
@retire05:
My, my, such language! You really should learn to control your temper.
@Deplorable Me: Greg is playing a MSM game of telephone, those cracked brained conspiracies are off target by a mile. But his Blue Anon Russian tales woven by cable talking heads, left wing news papers promoted by tech oligarchs thats different.
Bidens border policies making human trafficking great again.
@kitt: Like Russian collusion, quid pro quo and inciting violence, crack-brained conspiracies should be easy to dispel. You do it with proof, evidence and facts. Yet, crack-brained Greg doesn’t ask himself why Democrats don’t dispel the valid and well-supported examples of the election fraud that put a babbling idiot in the White House. As if there isn’t enough proof of Democrat election fraud corruption, just look to HR1. They clearly spell out how important fraud is to them and how little they care about making the vote restricted only to those actually eligible to vote.
Then of course there are side effects.
https://notthebee.com/article/3-million-face-masks-are-thrown-away-every-minute-and-its-killing-wildlife-worldwide
@Greg: The unfortunate truth is Fauci said millions would die. They didn’t.
Biden said don’t close down the country. That action would have killed more.
Dems and Fauci said a vaccine couldn’t be made in the time Trump said it could. Again, they were wrong.
Trump saved millions. Biden is now killing people at the border by both gross incompetence and spreading covid.
Facts.
Trump was and is the last President of the United States. Biden’s installation has started our second Civil War, and either the Majority of Americans who do not support Biden will oust these impostures, or simply push them out to realize their communist dreams on their own.
Trump was and is a real leader.
Biden is barely alive.
Please take note: always funny to see what “triggers” greg.
This is obviously a hot-button for his list of propaganda points.
If he doesn’t work for the CCP, perhaps he works for the FBI?
Either way, he’s a BlueAnon nutjob who is easily dimissed.
@Nathan Blue, #19:
2.8 million have died of COVID-19 worldwide. 550 thousand of that total died in the United States—the nation that spends more per capita on health care than any other. So what did we do, or fail to do, that produced that result?
@Greg:
Even for your usual tripe, this was pretty lazy.
Logical fallacy: that healthcare spending would change the rate of infection of a pandemic, and one that clearly came form a Level 4 Lab in Wuhan China. There’s not correlation, so your statement is invalid and dismissed.
Our experts, Fauci and others, claimed it would kill millions. IF we did everything right, only about 200,000 by the Fall of 2020.
About 200,000 by the Fall 2020 is what happened.
Trump did everything right, according to our experts.
And if you want to know why we even got to that…um…questionable number of dead from Covid, please go ask the Democrat Governors of California, Michigan, Illinois, and New York.
They have some explaining to do. The other states executed our National Plan just fine. Why didn’t they?
P.S. – 550,000 did not die of Covid in the U.S. and this is the biggest grift ever unleashed upon the world….er…I mean the manufacturing nations that compete with China (USA, UK, Italy, Brazil….funny how those nations were the hardest hit).
What’s not surprising is how unpopular Biden is, across the board.
@Nathan Blue, #22:
There should be some correlation between the amount resources devoted to healthcare and the effectiveness with which a nation addresses the spread of a pandemic and treats those infected. That was the point. If there’s not, we’re doing something wrong.
The COVID-19 virus most likely jumped species from animal to human after a natural mutation that allowed that to happen. There are no indicators suggesting it was artificially altered in a laboratory. Live animal markets are still the most likely point responsible for widening transmission.
30 MARCH 2021 – WHO report into COVID pandemic origins zeroes in on animal markets, not labs
Belief without evidence is becoming a recurring theme. It’s right up there with denial of things for which evidence actually exists.
@Greg: How many died in China? Russia? N. Korea? Iran? We don’t know because, like Democrats, they lie about the stats. Likewise, China told WHO COVID19 didn’t come from their lab and that’s what WHO reported as fact. You simply like lies.
WHO reported that there’s no evidence the virus originated in or was spread from a lab. It’s widely known by virologists that closely related viruses exist in wild animal populations. Early on, genetic sequencing found 8 people infected with SARS-CoV-2 who had direct contact with the Wuhan live market. Nothing is known for certain, but a natural mutation and spread that doesn’t involve the laboratory seems more likely.
Certainty about which is true is imaginary. It only exists in the context of political opportunism and conspiracy theory. That pretty much explains why Donald Trump immediately took up the message, which also went viral.
@Greg: covid came from the Wuhan lab, and its purpose was to destabilize the Western world.
Those are facts.
it is less logical to say it didn’t come from the lab. The truth is too obvious.
CNN has even admitted it. Why can’t you?
Because you’re a CCP troll.
Once again, Comrade Greggie, defends the Chinese Communists.
No surprise.
@Greg: The WHO’s statements on coronavirus are wholly dismissable.
Covid-19 came from a Chinese Lab in Wuhan.
The facts are so clear it’s not open to debate.
@Greg: How lo g did the CCP give investors to examine the lab and the evidence?
3 hours.
WHO reported what the CCP told them to report.
CCP and WHO said the virus was not transmissible between humans. Yeah, we should put our faith in them.
