Stupid, corrupt, raddled Commie whore says this:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Sunday a nationwide mandate to wear face coverings to prevent the spread of coronavirus is “definitely long overdue.”
“Definitely long overdue for that,” Pelosi told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.” “And my understanding that the Centers for Disease Control [and Prevention] has recommended the use of masks but not required it because they don’t want to offend the president.”
The speaker called on President Trump to “be an example” to the U.S. and wear a face covering, saying “real men wear masks.”
Don’t you just love how the article very carefully weasel-words it , calling the proposal a “nationwide mandate” for people to don the useless masks, rather than the more accurate “FORCE” them to? Do please note, also, that the despicable old lush isn’t being much of an example herself in the accompanying video. One law for me, and another for thee, eh, Your Highness?
Then again, maybe Stretch is afraid all the botox propping up her sagging visage might overheat under a mask and melt away, causing a scarifying plastic-surgery disaster of extraordinary magnitude as her artificial face literally decomposes on-camera, dissolving into a puddle of noisome goo just like the Wicked Witch of the West did. The OTHER Wicked Witch of the West, that is. Sundance applies the coup de grace:
If only House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the highest ranking leader in congress who could immediately create; immediately schedule; and immediately pass a House law that required every member of the United States to wear a face mask… No, wait, wha?
Nancy Pelosi says today that every American should be forced to wear face masks. However, proving that her position is purely a political division strategy, notice how she is not asked about passing a law that demands it then. The reasoning is simple.
First, Pelosi knows a law forcing Americans to wear a mask would never pass; and even if it did it would be an unconstitutional, and unenforceable demand. Second, Pelosi would never attempt such a bill because it would put Democrats in a minority position; Americans do not support such nonsense. Third there is no factual evidence showing face masks prevent COVID-19 spread; even the boxes of masks specifically state: “will not provide any protection against COVID-19.” Instead, by playing the politics of COVID Pelosi presents the nonsensical face mask issue as a political virtue-signal.
Mandate whatever the fuck you like, you villainous scoundrel. Matters not a whit to me. I will not comply, I will not obey, I will not bow, I will not yield. Not now, not ever.
Pelousi (M, marxist) is doing nothing more than virtue signaling to the prog supporters. Rest assured, she is saying, should we win in November, the constitution will no longer matter. We will do what we will to do.
Good point.
At this point why do we need all the Emergency Powers orders?
The curve was flattened and the healthcare system shored up. At that point the “Emergency” (I do not grant that it ever was an Emergency at all but, regardless, this doesn’t alter the point here) was over. The next steps should have been a reversion to legislatures.
Here in NC we would have been opened up May 1 or sooner had it been put to a vote.
But that Dimwit Gov Cooper takes the enclave support of maybe 30% of the people to Mandate masks NOW, when it is clear we have no real problem in this State. It’s just forcing submission and keeing the FUD going.
I like Dan Forest. He is suing the Governor and the other people responsible for these Executive Orders, which made the local media go apoplectic and blast him on every broadcast of local news.
A move right out of Trump’s playbook. Do something to send the media into a frenzy and get your name and Policy positions blasted all over the news for a week. Free ad campaigns!!
Yep. One of the (many) problems with emergency powers is that “for the duration of the current emergency” effectively means forever. More power is grabbed and further centralized, and that power will never be let go. Some justification will always be found to continue using the new authority, until it becomes the norm and then the inevitable next “emergency” allows even more power to be grabbed. Ratchet -> ratchet -> ratchet and big government gets ever larger and more bloated.
Note that we are already seeing headlines about a new strain of swine flu that may be infectious to humans in China. Here comes the next “crisis”, to justify even more of what did not work this time.
I imagine the Chinese and their deep state buddies have several virus’s ready to release.
