also, let me know when there are serious discussions about invoking the 25th, and also when a general has to call another country to assure them that we are making sure biden does not launch a nuclear strike because he got his ass whooped in the general election for the 2nd time in a row.

Well to Biden's credit, he doesn't seem too worried about the hat a young girl is wearing, even if it says Trump on it. Now I'm not usually one to do the "buh buh buh Trump" comparison to everything Biden does. But if the roles were reversed, and it was a girl with a Biden hat on trying to pose next to Trump, Trump would probably call her a loser and have her removed from the photo-op
He was probably intoxicated by the smell of all the children’s hair….Dirty Joe. And why is his mask down?
lol, good fucking question. Well the fun answer is "Its hard to smell children's hair with your mask on."
But to be serious, the theatrics of mask-wearing (or lack thereof) by political leaders is getting beyond silly. Joe himself warns of variants and keeping others safe, but here he is maskless, not socially-distanced, around kids that appear too young to be vaccinated. So he doesn't wear his mask when surrounded by children, but he wore a mask while on a Zoom call a few months ago.
When I made fun of him for wearing a mask on a zoom, his devotees here pushed back by saying that there were probably other people in the room with him. Fine, but they were probably vaccinated, adults, and not as in close contact with him as the kids in the picture below.
Really, someone compare these two pictures and tell me how this isn't insane. And peaking of insane Biden mask behavior, check out these two pictures of him with Boris Johnson from a few days ago.
So they wear masks while talking a few feet from each other, and then don't wear masks when they're making physical contact? What the fuck?

You hit the nail on the head; it’s political theatre. I think there are very few politicians that care about anything else other than the image they portray, but I’ve become a bit cynical over the years. If they look good, fake as they may be, it’s all good (regardless of any underlying morals or ethics). I would say this about Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush. It would be nice to have a president with actual concern about the well-being of people beyond the scope of politics, but I don’t know how you could ever legitimately discern that in this day and age.

But the thing about theatre is you have to keep up the illusion. So if Biden and Johnson are trying to model mask-behavior for us proles to follow, then they gotta stick with hit. Who the hell would be influenced to wear a mask by them after seeing them take them off for a photo-op?

No one said it is good political theatre, lol. It’s a bad movie with bad sequels.
I personally find it hilarious that people get all up in arms about masks with Biden.
he and boris are both fully vaxxed. they probably wore them as they were walking in, in a crowded building, then took them off after they sat down (and after that first pic was taken).
I'm sure with some it's political theatre, but honestly, my youngest daughter often forgets to take her mask off when she gets home from school. she's that used to it. that could easily be the case with biden in the zoom call. I'm surprised some didn't use that as an opportunity for another dementia joke.

Nobody's up in arms, dude. Can't ya just see something stupid and call it stupid? Of course not. Instead let's try to justify the stupidity (the bolded section).
And what about the picture with the kids? Shouldn't he wear his mask around unvaccinated children? That's what he tells us to do.
And you're surprised that no one made dementia joke, yet you're the one comparing the mentality of the president of the United States to that of your youngest daughter.
Then ya got one of Joe's biggest fans in The Juggler calling it stupid to call Biden's mask-wearing behavior stupid. I guess anything but unabashed praise (and nothing but praise) for Biden is stupid to some people.
justifying is not the same as adding plausible context, which is what I did.
I wasn't comparing POTUS to my daughter. I was saying PEOPLE get used to mask wearing and sometimes forget. I used her as an example because she was the first one to come to mind. She's 12 and she's brilliant. It's not like I'm talking about a 2 year old here.
again, with this "criticism isn't allowed" BS. of course it is. there's plenty to criticize. I just find some of the topics to be kind of funny. when people criticized Trump for stupid things, people threw out "TDS!" comments all the time.
I didn't comment on the pic with the kids because yes, he should have his mask on and he should be distanced from them.

I got ya. So you’ll push back when you disagree with criticism of Biden, but won’t comment at all when you agree with the criticism.

Here's a completely off the wall thought...perhaps Joe took his mask down for a moment to smile for a fucking picture with these kids? OH THE HUMANITY! He was seen on video all day long wearing his mask.
Yes, this gotcha stuff regarding masks with out of context pictures is stupid. Sorry guys, it is.
And by the way, good for him for taking the picture with kids whose parents were clearly Trump supporters using them as props (shame on them). He's the president for all of us, not just those who voted for him.

Particularly in light of tough guy POOTWH waiting 7 months into a global pandemic before allowing the public to see him wearing one and having known how deadly and transmissible the virus was. Real brilliant brilliance of leadership brilliancy right there. Some might call it idiocy.

Great news this morning from Arizona. President Biden got more votes in Maricopa County than the other guy. in fact, that Cyber Ninja group found even MORE votes for Biden in their tally. I've heard 360 was the number. Gee, now we know....what we knew in 2020.

I wonder what this will do to the other states that want to copy this fake audit. Here in PA the republicans are attempting to provide a lot of voters' personal information (drivers license numbers and partial social security numbers) to an unnamed private company to investigate the election. It's insanity.

This audit bullshit has nothing to do with 2020, it's a setup for 2024.
The difference between last fall & 2024 is that there will be more trump loyalists in positions of power in 3 years to help steal the election.
Obviously I'm not gonna go searching through video Joe's entire 9/11 if that is indeed when the picture with kids was taken. And I'm sure he did have his mask on all day. Well except for the picture with the kids. "Oh the humanity!" you said. Hey I agree with ya that it's not a big deal. But I'm not the one telling people to mask up even if they're vaccinated when around unvaccinated people. Biden is.

But I'm not the one telling people to mask up even if they're vaccinated when around unvaccinated people. Biden is.
So what we have here is nine plus minutes of them wearing masks.
Then we have one picture of them posing for a picture without their masks on. Hey here is another off the wall thought---perhaps the White Houses wanted a picture of the two world leaders, for some historical record or something, where we can see their faces? So these two fully vaccinated men took their masks off for a moment or two. Big deal.
What are we doing here, folks? Come on man. This is really so stupid.
And that was on 9/11. It was taken in Shanksville, after the ceremony, as he was talking to family members of Flight 93.
I forget if it was in this thread or the Covid one but there were folks complaining that we needed to end these benefits to get lazy workers back to work. Looks like they've moved on to better opportunities. Good for them
States that ended federal unemployment benefits earlier this summer saw August job growth at less than half the rate of states that retained the benefits, according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Why it matters: Leaders in the largely Republican-led states had insisted that the benefits were discouraging people from work, and ended the assistance program early ahead of its planned expiration on Sept. 6.
The benefits, which came in the form of weekly $300 payments, had been in place since spring last year to help families through the pandemic.
A growing group of states began ending the benefits in June in what they called an effort to incentivize people to return to the workforce.
What they're saying: "Economists analyzing the unemployment issue have seen little evidence yet that cutting off the benefits has provided a clear boost to local labor markets, in part because of difficulties separating the influence of the payments from larger shifts in the labor force, or of the potentially offsetting damage done by the pandemic," Reuters writes.
Worth noting: When jobs are hard to fill, a broader worker awakening over the past year is part of the reason, Axios' Hope King writes.
So if losing free $ didn't make people get a job...then they were given too much $ to begin with.
I’ve had my help wanted sign up all summer. Zero people came in, that never happened before. I’ve hired 3 people since the second week of September. It’s no coincidence. In my immediate area, losing benefits has directly helped businesses find workers.
I would really like to understand what all the people who left the workforce are doing to live each day. It seems very strange to me that there are so many opportunities available that cannot be filled.
A lot them transitioned to jobs with better pay / benefits.
Such as these.
Greener pastures: Marijuana jobs are becoming a refuge for retail and restaurant workers
An estimated 321,000 Americans now work in the legal cannabis industry, outnumbering the country’s dentists, paramedics and electrical engineers.
After a year on the front lines, Jason Zvokel traded in his 15-year career as a Walgreens pharmacist for a different kind of drugstore: a marijuana dispensary.
Now instead of administering vaccines and filling prescriptions, he’s helping customers make sense of concentrates, tablets and lozenges. His pay is 5 percent lower, he says,but the hours are more manageable.
“I am so much happier,” said Zvokel, 46, who’s worked in retail since he was 18. “For the first time in years, I’m not miserable when I come home from work.”
The cannabis industry is riding a pandemic high: Marijuana dispensaries and cultivation facilities — deemed “essential” by many states at the beginning of the coronavirus crisis — became an early refuge for retail and restaurant workers who had been furloughed or laid off. The industry has continued to grow, adding nearly 80,000 jobs in 2020, more than double what it did the year before, according to data from the Leafly Jobs Report, produced in partnership with Whitney Economics.
An estimated 321,000 Americans now work in the industry, a 32 percent increase from last year, the report found, making legal marijuana one of the nation’s fastest-growing sectors. In other words: The United States now has more legal cannabis workers than dentists, paramedics or electrical engineers.
Many Americans reassessed their jobs and career prospects as the pandemic reshaped their social and working lives. Retail workers in particular are quitting at record rates, in search of consistent hours, better benefits and more opportunities to advance — which many say they’re finding in the legal cannabis industry.
“There has been a seismic shift of workers from retail and restaurants to cannabis” said Kara Bradford, chief executive of cannabis recruiting firm Viridian Staffing, where she has fielded as many as 500 applications for one opening. “There is a sense that this is a booming industry that’s fun and interesting, with a lot of opportunities to move up quickly.”

So the virus can’t spread in a moment or two? So these two guys take precautions all day to avoid the possibility of transmitting the virus, and then say “Eh fuck it, what’s a moment or two?” Same with 9/11. Wears his mask all day, but what’s a moment or two with unvaccinated children going to do?
And talk about stupid: “Perhaps the White House wanted a picture for some historical record or something.” More of that “plausible context” that Hugh was talking about I guess.

I didn’t take this as a comparison at all…..and I’ve said this before-if some of this stuff against Biden is the best you’ve got then he’s the best president who ever served and I’m not even a fan. The fact that you people are still so angry is pure comedy to us. And there is no comparison between fuck face and Biden. FF is a total POS waste of life.

let me know when biden looks at an eclipse with his unprotected eyes.
let me know when biden cheats on jill with a porn star and gives her money to keep quiet.
let me know when biden is impeached. and then when he is impeached twice.
let me know when biden refers to the ceo of a company by saying his last name is actually the last name of the company, ie tim apple.
