I need help understanding...

Post by Deleted User 12047 » Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:18 pm

The following two items -

One, this week, a Facebook (former) friend posted a long diatribe that included this paragraph -

"Keep in mind it started with a guy Born in Kenya, raised in Indonesia then Hawaii and illegally put into position to run for President. Who eventually began the demolition process to our rights and the constitution. Taken away just like historical statues that stood for 100 years or longer." What rights and constitutional protections were "demolished" by the previous President? Do people still believe that he was an illegal President?

Two, today Vice President Pence visited the Mayo Clinic, with a camera crew, and was the only person in sight NOT WEARING A MASK! Does this make sense to anyone? Despite what he may think of the mask, does this not encourage bad behavior? It certainly pissed off the Mayo Clinic people. "Vice President Mike Pence toured the Mayo Clinic without sporting a facial mask despite that renowned medical facility telling him it was required to wear one." https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/28/coronav ... -mask.html

Your former friend is a lunatic and Pence is an asshat. That should clear things up.

First if she’s speaking a mask would be rather cumbersome, also facial expressions need to be read by the viewer. My understanding is that the mask rule applies to crowded public places.. the Romney building isn’t exactly one of those. Seeing her in Kroger without a mask would indeed be outrageous but this makes sense.

I wonder what pisses Matt off more:

A. The governor of Michigan is a Democrat.
B. The governor of Michigan is a woman.

Given his use of the deragatory term "cu*t", my money is on "B".

So, when I call a guy a prick, does that mean I have a problem with him being a man, or, is he just a prick?
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

How about:

C. The governor of Michigan is incompetent.

Edit: Its awfully sexist of Victor to suggest that cunt is always a feminine term.

nounVULGAR SLANG
noun: cunt; plural noun: cunts

I’d love to see you wiggle out of that and find a way to refer to a man that way and make it make sense.

Not to mention, folks from the UK use it as a term of endearment.

No. This isn’t about wearing a mask. As noted above this is about how rude it is to visit a hospital and flaunt their regulations.
Did he visit an operating room without scrubbing up too?

Not really. Graham Wellington is another posters alternative account. If you don't have the balls to make a hacky mom's basement joke from your main (should be only) account, it doesn't count as a burn.

I'm not inclined to back the mask gestapo in any circumstance. I don't have any issue with Karen not wearing a mask either, but I will point out she's a flaming hypocrite for pulling the "do as I say, not as I do" nonsense.
