Sure. But it's still theatrics since the guideline is to cover the nose as well.
"this magic <word here>" - what's the word? I can't make it out.
That's J.E. 's villa on the island level of symbolism.
If you don't want to get re-elected, you don't close the country and get hammered for 6 months up to the election for being a bloody dictator who failed to protect the country.
Politically, his move to roll with the current but subvert the opposition was the right move.
Theatrics for compliance. Plus the mask is annoying, can't imagine wearing that thing for a prolonged period.
It's an amazing coincidence how cancer affects the brain to turn you into a democrat.
Is he a curator of precedent or is he supposed to be doing his job?
True. It's just theatrics for transitioning from "omg, it's gonna kill us all" to "meh" without frying the NPC circuits.
Nice music.
That's good news! Was not aware, thanks.
This is starting to approach the realm of happening!
This would be absolutely hilarious!
We hope that this is so.
That's the point regardless of covid and what not though :D
"And the only reason institutions are like that is because you have too many entrenched bureaucrats."
Correct.
"If the Executive branch cannot hold itself to the same standards as everyone else they lose all trust and respect, leading to the collapse of our country."
Which is why the have incentive to sweep past sins under the rug. Yes, they'll pay it in the long run since the trust in the institution will erode slowly, but THEY won't be there at that time.
While this is true, it is true in theory. In practice, institutions care more about their own status rather than cleaning past shit - just look at the DOJ.
Merkel said they'll work around the court, so...
Don't hold your breath. The EU is about to create a trillion of credit, you think anyone's going away from free money?
Well, hopefully this isn't going to end up like "the beginning of the end" and "the walls are closing in".
Got to keep the sheep fed with nonsense. A coworker repeat all the talking points virtually verbatim with a high horse attitude (he really believes it to heart) and I was like "does he do any thinking of his own, or is that too much of a burden?"
Heavy repetition of nonsense is how the game works.
Like what? Create a few "independent" fact-checkers and use them as an excuse to ban the speech you don't like?
Well, the experts in this field (the Libs) are way way in the front of this race. You better pray free speech holds as much as possible.
"Here's how seeing good things is bad for women and minorities"
"Trump suggested people inject good things, experts disagree"
But muh rank and file.
This is the real reason behind this abhorrent display of false humanism.
