That way they wouldn't be on the record on the issue and could say anything at election time.

The secret to midterm victories and holding the senate and white house in 22 and 24 is to make republicans vote on MANY MANY bills and issues that affect citizens and what the people want.

He was/is SO stupid that he didn't know he needed to do that! (Yeah, let's elect a "Washington outsider" - he'll know how to fix it).

Of course, to make matters worse, if you DO select an "outsider" - shouldn't it be one who knows how to do ANYTHING?

Without actual legal enforcement and punishment for noncompliance, it's pointless.

During an extensive interview with CNN, Biden outlined his plans to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic after he is sworn in on January 20. “I'm going to issue a standing order that, in federal buildings, you have to be masked, and, in transportation, interstate transportation, you must be masked in airplanes and buses, et cetera,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper. Also, “I think my inclination, Jake, is, on the first day I'm inaugurated, is to say, I'm going to ask the public for 100 days to mask—just 100 days to mask—not forever.”

The General Services Administration, the federal government’s landlord, owns and leases more than 376 million square feet of space in 9,600 buildings nationwide. This includes offices, land ports of entry, courthouses, laboratories, post offices and data processing centers. The agency has an interactive map online that lets you search where these buildings are.

He has mandated masks and distancing in federal buildings which means state rules or lack of are overridden.

was too dumb to know better, nor did he care. He wasn't there to work. He was only there for the status, the trappings of royalty and the opportunities the office afforded him & his ilk. We can never have another 45, and given their record of fronting incompetent nominees we cannot let them regress the country back 50 years with their harmful & devastating policies.
