I'm interested in being just not civil, but excellent in interacting with others of different viewpoints in an online world where we can so viciously defend our echo chambers and be so dismissive of other perspectives.
Because this is less and less possible here, I'm largely offline and am not sure if I'll be returning. It was fun back when civility was a trend on qoto.

1) He isnt leading by example by passing a law and then breaking it
2) the speaker is not leading by example by reciting the law while breaking it
3) the law makes no exceptions for people who are vaccinated, this is no excuse
4) the law makes no exception for not having people near you at the time, this is also no excuse
Sorry but not a single one of those explanations are valid in the least.

My god the Irony and Hypocrisy of this new Biden administration.
Lets see, we have a press conference, on federal land, in a federal building, discussing how important Bidens new mask mandate is that makes it illegal not to wear a mask on federal land or in federal buildings...
and yet, the speaker isnt wearing a mask, literally as she explains why we the public will get arrested for doing the very thing she is doing as she announces it, and the very same thing Biden did just the day before.
Biden is and always has been above the law and this is just more of the same, take away everyone else's rights, but of course it never applies to Biden.

#Trump DID say it, and was excoriated for it. #Biden is simply echoing Trump's "it is what it is" statement.
But when Biden says the same thing, it's a non story. When Trump said it, it was a reason he shouldn't be president.
Here's about Trump :
The president told Axios's Jonathan Swan that the COVID-19 pandemic is "under control as much as you can control it" in the U.S.
"They are dying, that's true. And you have - it is what it is," Trump said. "But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it. This is a horrible plague."
The interview was recorded last Tuesday, before the coronavirus-related death toll in the U.S. surpassed 150,000. The current death toll reached more than 155,000 as of Tuesday morning, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. The U.S. currently has a seven-day average of 1,069 deaths per day, according to New York Times data.
At times, the interview turned combative as Swan pointed out the data Trump was referencing measured death as a proportion of cases instead of as a proportion of the population.

@mathlover
I agree.
The reason for my posts like this : I was informed that the sitting president was responsible for all protests and riots. No good moving the goal posts now.
I don't know the ethnicity or philosophy of the majority protesting, I doubt they're philosophers with well thought out views.
But primarily, I think people should be consistent. Everyone who looked at the protests and said even though they're people who don't like or side with Trump, he's president so this is "Trump's America" should now say the same about Biden.
But we're an illogical and inconsistent people.
I think the factors of more importance are local leadership responding to these types of events and how politicians align, endorse, denounce, or act in response.

So so big on unity, the democrat focus is on an impeachment trial of the political opponent who won more votes than any other political opponent in the history of the country. #democratunity
If the legislature can have an impeachment trial after Trump has left office... Could they also impeach Obama? What about Jefferson? Washington? #impeachment
Why are we calling everyone from the mostly peaceful protest in Washington "insurrectionists"?

RT @SkyNewsAust: Sky News host Rowan Dean says it is a “disgrace” that President Joe Biden blames a turbulent four years in the US on his predecessor when the Democratic machine “set about tearing America apart”.
@Neptune I've used a few apps on android, right now I'm using subway rooter. It's not the prettiest or most intuitive interface but supports a lot of functions including quoting other toots.
@caseypicks looks like in #BidensAmerica the Portland rioters are not being allowed to continue unchecked by the left government there?
