@freemo @koherecoWatchdog I'm not denying hypocrisy.

I'm saying, you're blowing this very far out of proportion. Most would consider a photo at a nearly outdoors location with family, in an otherwise distanced area, to be a small violation of mask wearing-ness. And the EOs are not as strict as you pretend.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog also, the Lincoln memorial is basically outdoors. The CDC guidelines specify that that's one of the safer ways to be mask free. And (at least the travel guidance EO) says to mask up in accordance with CDC guidelines.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog City Hall - not federal property.

I'm imagining the naked bike parade where folks are getting arrested for not wearing masks, but the lack of hidden genitals is not mentioned when being booked.

@freemo @anonymoose @koherecoWatchdog well, not when the last president was still the president, that is.

@freemo @anonymoose @koherecoWatchdog you didn't hear me give one complaint about the last president, and you won't hear me give one complaint about this one. And I likely won't praise any part of either either.

But I definitely don't plan on blowing things out of proportion in a way that misleads people either.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog

DMV is state.

You're gonna be real disappointed when you decide you also don't want to wear pants and underwear.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog do I think that if you walk into a place where the management decides you are not permitted to be, you can be arrested? Of course.

That's trespassing! You're not attested for not wearing a mask - you're attested for trespassing. Put on a mask.

Your example was ridiculous. A judge can order the same thing in a courtroom or parties would face contempt of court. Many would have already required mask wearing.

Some individual agencies also already required this at their properties. They've also implemented it practically.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog I replied too slow for your replies where you address this.

The legality and likelihood of arrest due to not wearing a mask was the lynchpin of every one of your original post's sentences. The whole post was typo.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog because it is as if you are purposely blowing this out of proportion.

For instance - you keep suggesting he broke a law. Not a law.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog it's not a law, man.

There is a law that probably applies to asthmatics - the ADA. And this EO makes exceptions for actual laws. It requires reasonable accommodation - like, you can wear a face shield instead of a mask!

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog yeah, I'm not going to search all your posts. I certainly admit I haven't read them all. From his prolific golfing after comments about Obama's, his hiring of his family members after the his executive branch instituted rules about nepotism, his tightening of chain migration despite his wife's situation, his "we will not tell people about troop plans" then announcing them, mishandling of classified after criticism of the past admin, tolerating and excusing clear instances of corruption despite running on "drain the swamp", and of course his own hypocrisy about requiring mask wearing from staff then clearly violating even right after getting COVID... There were instances of these classes of hypocritical behavior almost daily.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog the one you linked is primarily focused on travel, says it requires masks to be worn "in compliance with CDC guidelines" (which is not as strict as you suggest), and again the EO gives authority to heads of agencies.

I guess I came at this from the perspective - if you are complaining about this tiny non-hypocrisy, why weren't you complaining your fingers off recently. If this is a problem, your fingers should have melted down under the stress of complaining about every thing larger than this under the last guy. But I see on a re-read that you were mostly complaining about Biden himself.

@freemo @koherecoWatchdog

1) Executive orders are not law.

2) The order makes several exceptions and more broadly puts judgement in the hands of department leadership.

3) It *is* bad optics for the press secretary and the President.

4) I didn't see you complaining about any of the hundreds of examples of shocking hypocrisy during the last administration, and this thing is tiny in comparison.
