So.

Pence stated after his mask-less visit to the Mayo Clinic, that his white privileges' allow him and everyone around him to be tested for the COVID19 all the time.

Imagine that. We the people are denied testing. Governors are begging for their constituents to be tested. REQUESTS DENIED.

However Pence, Mommy, daughter and the people close to him get tested all the time. Imagine that. Us wee people are told that testing is in the works, it will happen soon, perhaps later, dayum lets be real it will never happen for us.

The arrogant POS went against the rules and regulations of the Mayo Clinic. Wearing a mask during a pandemic is a safety precaution. He is some piece of work. It is a known fact that you can test negative one day and positive the next.

Fugg his white arrogance.

It was all staged. No way would he get near a virus person. He is a shallow man who gets a boner every time he takes the podium as he kisses Don's butt.

the number of tests (and the frequency of these same tests) being done on all the people around Trump drive those numbers up. They certainly don't reflect the testing done on the sick, the exposed or the general public - something so necessary to open up the country safely. Screw them all - privileged indeed.

All that and more. What I mentioned twas but one of many things.

I also want to smack the smirk off his pasty white face every time he took the podium. Jaysus, could he have kissed mr. 'residents ass any more than he did.

allow him to get away with this? Nobody calls anybody on anything. If I were a patient or on staff at the time of his visit, I would have demanded that he be kept away from me.

You're right, this is white privilege--it's white evangelical christian privilege--writ large. But why don't the doctors and administrators at Mayo exercise their own white privilege *for the good*? The more we let these assholes get away with this kind of shit, the harder it's going to be to rein them in--which must inevitably happen if we are going to survive.

Why didn't someone at Mayo's say "These are our rules. Everyone has to abide by them."

✅ belief in single party, rule by the rich
✅ $$$ over lives (Covid “liberation”)
✅ give taxpayer $$$ to billionaires
✅ takeover/privatize schools, media to promote propaganda
✅ separate racial, religious groups

If he wasn't tested every day.

After a few "old people" were hauled to the hospital and tested positive at the nursing home my mother in law is at, they still can't get everyone tested. They try over and over but the state can't round up the test kits.

Then people like Pence, and his spawn probably get tested a few times a week because they are "special".

Pence is a pile of human feces working for a pile of human feces.

Testing will show that you have COVID-19. It won’t prevent it. You get the virus you roll the dice 🎲 🎲 ....maybe you live or maybe you die. In pence case I hope it’s the latter.

They understand authority, they understand privilege, they understand dominion and domination, but about leadership? Nothing.
