      While I don’t think he will be able to do it, just because politics are so divided in the US right now, to me, this is the absolute number one thing that could knock down the virus.

      People talk about wanting to restart the economy, this is a simple easy thing to do. When I talk to people about mask wearing, and they complain about not being able to breathe, I use the example of @jon-nyc if he was able to do it, I don’t want to hear a complaint from you! Lol

        I fully support mask wearing in appropriate situations. I do not support mask mandates. They are unenforceable and can be done on a lower level such as businesses who are already mandating masks in their stores and restaurants.

        He'll get eaten alive if he tries. Republican governors will tell him to pound sand. He'll look like an idiot, which he should if he tries this.

            If Joe implements a mask mandate, and I think he will, the resulting number of masks in use will be decreased.

              The unfortunate part is people actively coming out against wearing a mask. The mandate is for all the knuckleheads. This is not about civil liberties.

                That's how it will be cast.

                People are simply ignoring it around here, for the most part.

                  I don’t think he thinks he can issue a mandate. I think he’s trying to work with governors and/or local officials to do it.

                          Dream on.

                          The man never got out of his basement. His biggest campaign rally had less people attend than a junior high football game.

                          I still believe that if he wins the race, his election is tainted by ballot harvesting and election fraud.

                          If Trump does lose, it won't be because people voted for Biden. It will be because of over three years of
                          unrelenting media pressure and lies, swinging 5-15% of the vote. People voted against Trump, not for Biden.

                          Three things...

                          1. If Trump had closed his Twitter account and been the Trump of the second debate in the first debate...
                          2. And the media had accurately reported the Russia! story and Trump's accomplishments
                          3. And lastly, if we would have had a free and fair election...

                          Does anybody think The Dementia Patient had a snowball's chance in Hell of defeating Trump?

                            And another thing...

                            If Biden does take office, six months into his term (assuming he's alive at that point), people will still be talking about Donald J. Trump, not Joe Kamal.

                                Curious how a military draft can be legally justified, but a mask mandate cannot.

                                I’m not saying whether a federal mask mandate is a good or bad thing. (And I don’t like the idea of a draft)

                                I’m saying - if a military draft has already been figured out legally (forcing people to fight for the safety of the country), how is a mask mandate philosophically different?

                                    The draft laws debated for centuries and laws were written by elected lawmakers.

                                    The federal mask mandate we are talking about is just Mr. Biden issuing an order on his own authority, based on a hatred of Mr. Trump.

                                    There is no comparison.

                                      Remember Dreyfus - Inspector Clouseau's boss?

                                      That's how it will be

                                      The Trump people will feel like Dreyfus

                                      I'm not 100% sure I'd pick that particular character as a role model. If memory serves he ended up twitching and drooling and painting his padded cell with his feet, before escaping and trying to blow up the world.

                                      That is exactly what will happen. Only the strongest Trump supporters will be able to avoid it.

                                        Just as long as they don't do a remake where everybody is played by Americans who ought to have known better than to try and reproduce British perfection.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Dream on.

                                          The man never got out of his basement. His biggest campaign rally had less people attend than a junior high football game.

                                          I still believe that if he wins the race, his election is tainted by ballot harvesting and election fraud.

                                          If Trump does lose, it won't be because people voted for Biden. It will be because of over three years of
                                          unrelenting media pressure and lies, swinging 5-15% of the vote. People voted against Trump, not for Biden.

                                          Three things...

                                          1. If Trump had closed his Twitter account and been the Trump of the second debate in the first debate...
                                          2. And the media had accurately reported the Russia! story and Trump's accomplishments
                                          3. And lastly, if we would have had a free and fair election...

                                          Does anybody think The Dementia Patient had a snowball's chance in Hell of defeating Trump?

                                          He won the election anyway.

                                          I still believe that if he wins the race, his election is tainted by ballot harvesting and election fraud.

                                          Like you said earlier: Dream on!

                                          If Trump does lose, it won't be because people voted for Biden. It will be because of over three years of unrelenting media pressure and lies, swinging 5-15% of the vote.

                                          Nah, it's Trump who lied relentlessly.

                                          People voted against Trump, not for Biden.

                                          Yes, I believe that is true for many people.

                                          1. If Trump had closed his Twitter account and been the Trump of the second debate in the first debate...

                                          Coulda, shoulda, woulda ...

                                          1. And the media had accurately reported the Russia! story and Trump's accomplishments

                                          You would think a competent self-promoter would know how to get himself portrayed to the public in the most positive light, if indeed said self-promoter was competent and had worthy accomplishments to speak of.

                                          1. And lastly, if we would have had a free and fair election...

                                          That we had, you're just too blind to see it. Look at all those Trump lawyers flailing in courts of law and look at all those election lawsuits that got dismissed by the courts, they just might set new records for most frivolous lawsuits filed in an election cycle.
