These people are idiots. 4 months into the pandemic and they still don't understand that if you wear a mask it doesn't protect you. Masks are there to protect other people. If you take the mask off the second you step inside, you're still a danger everyone in the office.

1. "Don't tell me what to do," America.

Americans are showing their. True colors.

4. I've been using "you're not the boss of me!" Americans. "My way or the highway" authoritarians

when they are in charge of anything, snot nosed kids if someone tells them what to do.

2. An N95 mask + googles / face shield protects you.

[Bucky]

5. Yeah, that's not what people wear in the White House

For 99% of us, including the people who office out of the White House, we're talking about your basic face mask; that will not keep a virus out.

7. Here's what they need.

9. Denem!! I love your picture of Elizabeth Warren and Katie Porter!!! My two favorites!!!

Where did you find that?

[denem]

12. Thank you!

I was doing a google image search search for a photo of Elizabeth to use as a sig. Went down pages and pages looking for exactly the right one then ... there was this fabulous picture with Katie Porter and ... love at first sight!

3. I assume they have to leave it on for the duration of time spent in the WW.

It's all about protecting Trump.

8. The article said offices were excluded.

This is so crazy.

[thesquanderer]

10. Funny, when I clicked the link, the entire article was only one sentence.

Nothing about offices. But I guess once you enter an office that Trump never goes into, they don't care. They are worried about the common areas where Trump might sometimes enter, or any place he might ever be.

11. I thought it was just libruhs and DemoCRATS who are afraid. So why is Trump insisting all

visitors to the West Wing wear masks? Anyway something to ask some fuckhead who you encounter in the parking lot or wherever who sees you wearing a mask and asks "are you a Democrat?" "What are you so afraid of, this is 'merica, home of the brave?".

Of course another answer is that it doesn't protect me very much, but rather protects others like my frail elderly father with COPD (or whatever, in my family's case its my sister worried about her 75 yo husband's severe COPD ).

13. Odd response to a "hoax" ?

[Baclava]

14. But but but but...Freedoms!

[Marie Marie]

17. So, is Trump going to wear one?

[keithbvadu2]

18. Totally under control, ya know?

Totally under control, ya know?

[Bayard]

19. Oh, that's rich!

Mr. Germophobe speaks: Do as I say, not what I do.

tRump and Pence are probably the ones infecting everybody else.

[onecaliberal]

20. Did they pull out their AK-47 and scream in the face of everyone in the west wing?!?

22. Seems to be duplicate of post two below in LBN column

23. Too little, too late...

Seems half the white house staff are positive. Call it the Trump super cluster. Cluster of virus transmission, not cluster fuck.

[riversedge]

24. about 3 Months too late.
