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.

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.
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.
^ the actual executive order for reference
There wasnt one order there were two, you only linked the second (and the less damning of the two). The first covers far more than what you mentioned (planes, federal land, etc, with few or no exceptions listed):
> 4) I didn’t see you complaining about any of the hundreds of examples of shocking hypocrisy during the last administration,
Not sure what the last president has to do with anything, but you clearly weren't looking then. I repeatedly and consistently mentioned the last president was horrific in countless ways and never once supported the last president. so not sure what your on about.
An example of one of the countless trump criticisms I employed over the years btw:
The first one is me literally claiming Trump was the worst politician in US history.. not sure what else you expect from me in terms of criticising the other side:

@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.
I cant think of a single hypocrisy that Trump commited I didnt complain about. Can you name a few examples of hypocrisies from Trump which I supported or didnt mention?
Also to be clear the issue here is not **just** the hip[pocrisy, its the fact that he (as expected) as no problem taking away people's rights while at the same time not being beholden to those same restrictions. Its a double wammy from any already unacceptable EO. I have severe asthema and like many asthematics laws like this put our lives at risk when it is a common asthematic trigger. Despite this most people claiming medical exemptions are laughed at and attacked for not wearing masks in the past. So this law in my view is unacceptable even when i encourage most people to wear masks.
Yes I know its not a Law, we've discussed that already. Calling it a law is a typo, though effectively it isnt much different, if you break it on public property and refuse to leave you get arrested (likely for trespassing or some nonsense if they tell you to leave). So its good enough for me, what its called isnt particularly important.
Face shields have much the same problem for asthmatics, they restrict the flow of air and can induce attacks.
@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!
