Faster Than A Speeding Bullet

I only wear a mask to go to the store or take a bus or subway and I do that only because they won't let you in otherwise.

@thislittlepennyearns According to the order, the mask mandate is a federal mandate, meaning it would be a "law" until someone says it is not.

@porwest @lovebuglena Actually he mandated on federal property, lol. Laughing because it is already mandated on federal property he just now wants every one to actually follow the mandate. Whatever BUT and here it is, he intends making individual state governors and mayors and other law enforcement mandate it in their own states and carry through. So....

@porwest That's what I want to believe and hope. I love our country and would hate to see it crumble. However, that's what happened this year alone. 2021 isn't off to the best of starts, we're not even a month in. And, we've got four years of this? scarry.

The silver lining is that there are people out there, like you and I and countless others who can see past the BS, and actually see the truth. Who can actually ACKNOWLEDGE the truth. It may be the ONLY thing that can truly save a nation that right now is in serious peril. There just has to be ENOUGH of us to save a dying nation. Only time will tell if it CAN be saved.

@kaylachan All I can say is that I did my part and I voted against this scourge. But nonetheless, the scourge got elected and now all we can do is cross our fingers and hope he doesn't do irreversible damage.

@porwest I cant bear weakness

@RebeccasFarm The country was weakened the very second Biden was declared the winner, and unfortunately, all of our enemies are taking notes.

A puppet is what he is. Someone else is pulling the strings. Trust me. And there is still a bigger plan developing in the background that is well underway. Just wait. It's coming. I don't think the American people who voted for Biden have a CLUE what they actually voted for... And trust me, they are not going to like what is coming at all.

Here they're work anywhere inside which includes stores and doctors offices and I'm sure hospitals.

@lovebuglena You are absolutely correct. I do know individual businesses have the right to mandate whatever rules they want, including masks. And yes, we have been wearing masks, by individual mandate, for about 9 months at least. As for the Paris Accord, I implore EVERYONE to actually read what it says. It is a big, fat nothing. It costs a ton of money, and expects (IF people do what they say) to reduce the temperature by 1/10th of a degree at a cost to American tax payers of about $6.5 billion.

@MarshaMusselman Unfortunately the thing most people are missing is the fact that "masks do not work to stop the spread of the virus." Because we have all been wearing masks for better than 9 months now and the spread of the virus has gotten worse. Not better.

@porwest I just cannot call him or think of him as President Biden...

This will not only be a troubling aspect of Biden's administration, but an insulting one as well. Why insulting? Because it insults ALL of our intelligence.

@lovebuglena He wears the title, but at this moment I have no idea who is actually the president. He's not capable, so it's not him.

I try my darndest not to belittle or deride. I call these "little jabs supported in some facts." Therefore, I consider these to be "supported comments," which I think are different than just outright name calling and insults. I'd call the caveman analogy, in this case, accurate.

@CarolDM lol. Yes. Indeed.

@porwest We can often say a lot in a few words.

@porwest Respect soes not previal when people (whatever their way of thinking) call each other names.

After all of the downright mean, low down and dirty comments that continue to be lodged at Trump, I think "cavemen" is slight compared. And, as I pointed out in an earlier comment, there is difference between just simply calling someone a moron without supportive commentary as to how you got there and what I did, which was to outline the ridiculousness and THEN make the assertion.

@marguicha Will somebody please tell the left that?

@porwest

lol. I can only call them as I see them.

You want him to undo Trump's work then?

@porwest Biden wants to undo Trump's border wall for starters by taking it down. He wants to enter the peace treaty agreement that weren't a part of during Trump's years. Don't get me started as I do refrain from talking politics here. I was never a fan for Trump and never voted for him. He has no business in politics. And now he'll be impeached and probably get convicted.

give him a chance to undo what Trump did wrong. @KristenH First of all, I don't think you know what Trump did right. Furthermore, I don't think you know what Trump did at all. Why? Because your statement points to that. You might be surprised to know that Trump almost immediately, BEFORE the height of pandemic in March, began taking action and implementing measures in January. Two months before we had any idea as to the seriousness of Covid. You will also know that in the 12 month period between January and December of last year Trump took MANY measures to combat Covid including introducing Operation Warp Speed to streamline the FDA approval process to get vaccines out sooner rather than later, AND funded tens of billions of dollars to researchers to get vaccines put together and readied for distribution. There is a long, long list of things Trump did. As for giving Biden a chance. Come on. I have heard this SOOO many times since Biden's election, and all of it coming from people who never gave Trump a chance from day one, and who also discounted and criticized, and derided him for every single action he ever took... Even when those actions were overwhelmingly good. President Trump lowered corporate taxes and taxes for all Americans, and for that the economy was boosted enormously. There were more jobs than workers to fill them. People, after corporations got huge tax breaks, got bonuses upwards of $1000 and more, and many even received pay increases as a result of that. Median income under Trump was up $5000. We had the lowest black, Hispanic, and women unemployment numbers in history. We went from 1.2% GDP under Obama to nearly 5% under Trump. Consumer confidence was up BIG TIME. We stopped Iran from going nuclear. We stopped North Korea from going nuclear. We all but eradicated ISIS, helping to provide some stability to Middle East nations. Three major Middle East countries FINALLY recognized Israel as a sovereign state, also relieving tensions in the region and providing more protection and support to the people of Israel. I am not sure what wrongs Biden wants to undo. By all measures, if Biden undoes what Trump did, all he is undoing is success and replacing it with disaster.

@porwest I saw his new laws. He is doomed to failure already.

@Deepizzaguy Yes. He is. Big time.

If Biden GOES to the left? My friend, he is already there.

@porwest to tell you the truth, I have no idea who the left or the right are. They are making me confused.

@thelme55 Maybe one day I will have to write a post about the differences. I am sure it would be a waste of time, which is probably why I have not done it yet. But there are stark differences between the left and the right.

Tell that to the left who had started impeachment proceedings BEFORE Trump's inauguration. lol

@porwest Amen

That is the part that confuses me. Trump tried too, and there are mountains of plans he implemented to make an effort, none of which he received credit for, none of which he was praised for, none of which he was appreciated for... Instead he was chastised, derided, called a moron, and whatever else you want to add to that. I know everyone wants sudden civility and acceptance now that Biden is president. But after the last four years? After all the BS of the last four years? The left can suck my shorts. The time for civility and acceptance and "let's just give the guy a chance" has came and went long ago.

@1creekgirl I don't mean to be harsh. I am just frustrated.

@simplfred Unfortunately.

This is where I stand as well. My only complaint is, why couldn't anyone on the other side have this attitude when it came to Trump? Just frustrating at times.

@porwest Yeah... That's the hard reality of politics...

Unlike many of the people who voted for him, I listened to what he said on the campaign trail. None of it was remotely healing in nature, and so I have no faith in his ability to heal anything nor unify anyone.

@Nakitakona That's the point though. America was not sick. It was healed. Biden is only reopening the wound because he wants an unhealthy America. That's all democrats ever want. Poor people with their hand out so they can control everyone's life. They don't want people successful. Successful people don't need them to give them something to hold their power over the people. So, they want us all in chains.

@porwest With that kind attitude you have in which you lack faith in him, sick America won't ever heal.

Nothing would help this situation than sure abject failure (which is coming) to reawaken the American people to the abject failure of democrat policy.
