Not Scott it's just more useless outrage from the the usual suspects claiming its some do As I say not as I do moment ... ignoring the 99.99% of the time he wears a mask.. and his constant messaging
it's Just intellectual dishonesty. but that's acceptable in the New GOP all about owing the Libs . And just saying No! no to mask no the the vaccines No to the truth no to infrastructure no to Jan 6th No to trump lost just say No to anything attached to Dems .. And you have no need to fear your voters .. now that's a twisted sense of Leadership if you dare call it leadership

it’s not useless to point out that biden is asking us to take steps that he doesn’t agree need to be taken.
it’s not “intellectual dishonesty.”
ha this dishonest, is going on tv and blaming every disaster his administration is dealing with, on people who don’t comply with guidelines, when he himself feels free to ignore those guidelines. THATS dishonest.
wayne, you’re humiliating yourself in this one. biden ignored nantucket mandates, ignited the sign on that stores window. you were flat out wrong when you did they’re aren’t mandates in Mass. just admit this one was. alias for your side and move on. it won’t kill you to
admit what happened here.
This situation has nothing whatsoever to do with trump or republicans. Biden chose to violate the rules he expects us to abide by. that’s what happened, everyone on the planet including you knows that’s what happened. why can’t you just admit it?

If Pence believes that Roe V Wade was decided incorrectly ( a lot of people agree with him), why wouldn't he hope that it gets rectified? What would you expect his position on the issue to be?
Yeah, why fret over silly little things like the slaughter of 600,000 - 700,000 innocent babies per year. Wayne, that you could care less about that, doesn't mean it's a character flaw that others have empathy for the voiceless.
Anything, ANYTHING, to deflect attention away from a tiny little mis-step by Biden.
You want to talk about what's reckless? The idiot democrat senator from NH warned the supreme court that there'd be "revolution" if they overturned Roe. She said explicitly, "go ahead and overturn it if you want revolution."
A sitting US Senator, threatening the supreme court with violence.
This is after Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, threatened the Supreme Court, saying they will "reap the whirlwind" and "not know what hit them" if they keep upholding abortion restrictions.
The Supreme Court isn't supposed to decide cases based on what will appease the mob. They are supposed to decide what the constitution says.
But you don't care about that. What offends you, is a devout Christian rooting for an end to what he views as mass infanticide.

Biden made an error in judgment here, and a rational person would simply admit that.
They can't. They can't do it. They cannot admit that Biden isn't perfect. I don't know why they can't, but they can't. None of them can. That Biden obviously made a mistake here, has broken their brains.
Wayne says there are no mask mandates, Spence is assuming (based on zero evidence) that he just lowered the mask to drink something. I'm waiting for Spence to speculate that he only took off his mask to give mouth-to-mouth CPR to a lifeless infant. Yes, that must be it!
These people do not just "believe in" liberalism, they way I believe in conservatism. They are, quite literally, possessed by liberalism, they are enslaved by it. They are servants to liberalism, and under no circumstances can they say anything critical of their master. It's really, really something to behold.
They think that admitting Biden screwed up here, is somehow the same as endorsing Trump.
The democrat is ALWAYS right. the Republican is ALWAYS wrong.

So he's on a short video with his mask pulled down and you can't see his hands, then photographed leaving the store shortly after drinking from a coffee cup. I don't even think this requires critical thinking.

Wayne, some people can walk and chew gum at the same time. Just because you apparently can't process two things at once, doesn't mean no one else can.
Did Pence (or anyone?) say that noting else in the world matters at all, except the abortion case before SCOTUS? Or are you projecting that, because as always, it's easier for you to respond to a fabrication, than it is for you to respond to what he's actually saying?

"jim I approach issues via the eyes of an adult and in their totality "
Sure you do. And its just a coincidence that 100% of the time, you side with liberalism.
"the world is just Black and white"
Oh, you don't see the world as black and white? Fine. Share with us some major policy issues on which you disagree with liberals? I keep asking that question, you keep dodging.
Nobody sees the world as "black and white" more than you guys. All you do, is say liberal is good, conseravative is bad.
If you are capable of nuanced thinking, prove me wrong. List some issues on which you agree with conservatives.
I'm the one capable of thought. That's why I can say with no problem at all, that I think conservatives get some things wrong (gay marriage, death penalty, availability of healthcare, gun control to some extent). You can't come close to showing that kind of independent thought. Not even close.

The entire party is coming thru as racist, anti-democratic extremists. None of them are condemned by Republican leadership, only encouraged.

Desantis, Tom Cotton, Tim Scott, Niki Haley, Dan Crenshaw. these are the faces of today’s gop. you don’t get to pick a few jerks and say they’re the face of the gop. you wish they were the face of the gop,, and i’m sure they’re who you picture when you think of the gop. but it’s not who america thinks if, if it were, the gop wouldn’t be kicking the democrats azzes in every conceivable poll. no one likes those people. if the party is seen as deranged racists, explain what happened in VA and NJ.
8 of the 9 governors in the country with the highest approval ratings are republicans. something like that.

Sure
McCarthy had a meeting with Greene and Mace and told them to stop. Greene walked out of the meeting, ignored McCarthy, and started telling a reporter that she supports a primary challenge against Mace.

You could add Cotton, Cruz and Johnson from the Senate without diluting the Gang Greene brand.

Pete, you look at what happened in VA and NJ last month, and you look at all the polling…..and you conclude that the gop is in disarray and back on their heels?
atta boy, Columbo.
Some superfluous fringe congressmen are bickering. There’s no bickering or in-fighting on the left? Manchin and Sinema aren’t being attacked by any democrats?

You guys crack me up making a big fuss about a mask, when Trump tested positive for covid three days before he debated Biden and lied about it to insure he could debate. Well known he was never wearing a mask after knowing he was positive, exposing everyone he came in contact with. So one guy fully vaccinated isn’t wearing a mask in a store with others that were probably fully vaccinated, when he might have asked if he needed a mask (none of you yahoo’s know) and Trump knowingly exposed people while infected with covid, tell me honestly which is worse by huge margins?

not only did i not make a big fuss, i said a few times that it wasn’t a big deal. what cracks me up, is the inability of 99% of the people on the left, to just be able to admit he slipped up and the optics are bad. 99% of liberals can’t muster the intellectual courage to just admit that. it’s fascinating to me, and never stops being entertaining. i am genuinely curious to know what you’re all afraid would happen, if you just admit it was a mistake.
But Trump!!
(that’s also hilarious. your instinctive reaction is to point to trump.)

No big fuss really, it’s been the subject of this thread for quite a while. Circumstances matter, you don’t know if questions were asked before Biden removed his mask and optics are pretty good considering he is wearing a mask when he should be what 99.9999999% of the time. Trumps optics were the opposite, he promoted the idea the masks aren’t needed and couldn’t care less if he infected those working with him.
