In a nod to falling poll numbers Trump dons a mask!

Sorry to disagree, but I believe Trump is so delusional he believes the shit coming out of his own mouth.

IMO, what petrifies him is the major ass-kicking he's going to experience on November 3rd....followed by multiple state prosecutions. :)

we got a stupid electorate; but the main driver is the corrupt media presentation of Trump that you lap up.

Being a #neverTrump is not being serious about serious policy positions. Trump has largely accomplished big initiatives

I personally would be horrified to be in the same camp of Bill Kristol or George Will

Do you think he believes that he's impervious to the virus, is that what I think you're saying? I can see him thinking that, but it doesn't explain why he is being tested daily. After all, it's not like he does much of anything others want, unless they can convince him that it was his idea to begin with. lol

Yes, I do. The man is obviously delusional. If Ivanka or whomever weren't constantly running interference for him, it would be clear that he's delusional to most Trump fans. The comments from former WH cabinet members and staffers are proof of this. The large number of books, documentaries and studies of the Trump years will be entertaining We, the People for another 10 years.

I doubt he's being tested daily. Trump spews so much bullshit nothing he says can be trusted. Here's a key fact: half a dozen members of his staff have tested positive over the past several weeks and only yesterday Trump wore a mask for a photo op? WTF?

Disagreed. OTOH, I do believe that's the way you think.

embellished displays written for chumps to pony up for. what ever legit criticism is wrapped in expose style.
Again you lap it up without even questioning the motives.

Remember that *review* of *numerous peer reviewed studies* you mocked because it was done by dentists and oral surgeons lol?

Prior to 2020 when it was apolitical.

It was conclusive: surgical masks are useless in a clinical setting. It didn’t even matter if they were worn in surgery or not [the even reviewed the surgical literature] and that surprised even me. Now they tell me, when I’m effectively retired.

If, somehow, you can convince me anything but N95’s are useless in a clinical setting; but somehow, become useful when worn haphazardly by the public, then we might get somewhere.

You are at the dentist mouth wide open, your hygienist sneezes. Would you rather he be wearing a mask or not?:rolleyes:
Anything that reduces the quantity of molecules coming out of your mouth and nose is a reduction of risk. Common sense.

I’d rather they didn’t sneeze right into my open mouth lol.

The studies [plural] concluded what they concluded and it was done back when nobody cared one way or another if masks worked. Presently, people *want to think* they work, they’re being told they work and whether they work or not—has become politicized.

But practically everyone has to wear them now so we’ll start looking for the drop in COVID numbers.

I’ll happily be wrong about it if/when that happens. Wish I could say I was optimistic about it.
 
How many months did it take for Trump* to follow Biden’s lead?

First you ridicule it.
Then you ignore it.
Finally you join it.

That is essentially the formula conservatism follows since its evolution from its origins as a mere human trait (atavistic resistance to change)
into a labelled political movement. You could bottle it : "lather rinse repeat"

The one necessary step they seem to conveniently always omit is acknowledgment of error.:rolleyes:
They'd rather swallow than spit out "We were wrong"

Trump wears a face mask in front of the press for the first time today, stating that he’s never been against masks!


Remember when he made fun of Biden for wearing one 6 weeks ago.?

Once, it’s like all those times they thought he was Presidential because he read a speech. I doubt he wears one on a regular basis.
 
Hello BartenderElite,

Well said here:

There really shouldn't be any mistake made here: Trump made it political.

When this virus first started, I saw pics of people in China wearing masks, and I thought, "well, that makes sense."

I never would have imagined it would have become some sort of "PC" thing here, or "fight for liberty."

It's shameful. This is a basic precaution during a pandemic where the contagion is spread through respiratory droplets. We will never be able to calculate how many lives have been lost because so many on the right made it something that it is not - but it is surely more than a few 9/11's. It's embarrassing, and horrible.

It is one of Trump's most profound failures as a leader.

What a good post.

Very succinct.

Sounds like they could use some help.

Yes, I require convincing. I don’t go along with the tide.

Time and tide wait for no man.

When speaking of a futile endeavor, the old saying is that would be like trying to hold back the tide.

One may try to hold back the tide, but it is useless folly.

If everyone were to begin following all the CDC guidelines we can certainly expect to see a drop in the numbers of New Cases.

The problem is that everyone is not doing that, and it will be hard to change their thinking after so many weeks of bad leadership telling them they don't have to.

Nations which have complied with the best practices have the best results.

Taiwan has about the same population as Florida.

Taiwan has very high adherence to all the best guidelines. Taiwan has 7 total deaths, period.

Florida is full of people who have ignored the guidelines. Florida has 4,197 deaths total.
