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.

@freemo Biden and the speaker aren’t the same person
@louiscouture ummm, obviously.. nor did I suggest they were. This is why I pointed out how **both** of them (as seperate people and all) violated the very law they just enforced.
@freemo but I think Biden was alone in the capitol at the point where he didn’t wear a mask
1) He was not alone, in fact the speaker even pointed out in her response that he wasnt alone mentioning some of the people that surrounded him.
2) the law he passed does **not** make exemptions for being alone or for when you have distance between yourself and others. So even if he was alone or sufficiently distances this is no excuse if we are to judge him by the same standard the order he passed judges us.
@freemo maybe it’s just a mistake or forgot to put them on. Sure he should have put on that mask but he still did it 99% or the time, is that really worth cancelling him over this? Also, Joe Biden didn’t wore a mask before the law took place, he isn’t breaking his own laws, because the law wasn’t in effect.
@louiscouture That is some weak excuse man... I never said he broke the law for starters, I said he was a hypocrite.
Second if he feels it so strongly that it should be illegal then he should be walking around doing it, the fact taht he did it less than 24 hours before signing a law doesnt get him off the hook.
Third if its so easy to "just forget", and if that is entierly excusable then.. and ill say this slowly... dont... make... it... a... law.
Fourth and more important.. no I wouldnt cancel Joe biden **just** for this, the laundry list of horrifically immoral things that man has done wouldn't have this small infraction anywhere near the top of it. He was canceled long long ago before this particular misstep. But it does show my judgement of his character as a horrible person is consistent and correct.
@freemo but he isn’t a hypocrite because he never broke his own law.
@louiscouture That makes no sense.
If you decide you are going to pass a law, you have decided the thing you are making illegal is immoral, wrong, and hurtful to others. Therefore if you violate it, even if you do so in the hours before it comes into effect, you are violating the very ethical code you are trying to enforce on others via the law.
Can you only be a hypocrite if you pass a law then break it? that sounds absurd to me. Biden, and anyone else would be just as much a hypocrite if no law were even passed and all he did was say "it is wrong to not wear a mask" and then walk around not wearing a mask. your grasping at straws to excuse his behavior.
@freemo alright I’ve seen the video, he is alone, with someone at 2 m distance and literally nobody else. This is just a manufactured outrage by Fox News. There was no transmission possible. The law is really more meant for federal buildings with many people inside like airports. It’s funny that suddenly people care about laws and ethics because the past president had none and broke many laws.
@louiscouture Already covered that in my first response. The law/order he passed does **not** make exceptions for the distance you happen to be from people. So again, not an excuse in the slightest.
The argument you make is the very reason why such laws/orders should not exist, because they are situational and people have the right to judge those situations and decide if a mask is suited for them or not... thats the whole point of the hypocrisy.. you cant say "people need to 100% wear masks or else its against my rules!" and then pick and choose when to wear masks and when not to yourself. If you feel it should be mandated all the time then I damn well expect you to be wearing one all the time.
Also, the speaker was inside a federal building (she is part of the administration) so not really much wiggle room on this.
@freemo mask mandates are the laws in Quebec, not just for government building but everywhere except your house or outside.
The law is applied through the common sense of shops owners and or law enforcement.
If somebody truly forgot to wear a mask, somebody would tell him they have to wear one without entering the building.
Health is a provincial jurisdiction, meaning Canada doesn’t have a say in what Quebec choose.
The law says mask are mandatory everywhere except your home and outside or if you sit down in an exam room with enough distance.
They aren’t *choosing* to not accept maskless customers, they have to apply the rules.
@louiscouture well we are entierly off subject, but no I wouldnt find it acceptable to support that as a matter of law even though i do not oppose the voluntary use of masks.
@louiscouture I cant speak for Canada or how the laws go there. If a shop owner wants to ask someone to wear a mask I dont particularly care, if law enforcement is going to tell me I have to thats a different story, then I might be against it. But again, not the point here really anyway.
