    This is one of the few times I agree with you. Nancy should not have flaunted the mask rule (as Trump shouldn't) and protesters on either side should be required to follow masking rules.

    I don't understand things like this. I'm sure she could have paid someone to come to her home and avoided the whole double-standard issue.

    That may have been illegal also. Salon workers are not typically licensed to work in home, I'm sure that depends on the state involved. There are more regulations for salon operators than one would think necessary.

    I'm guessing Nancy could fix a fine or two million. The rules only apply to everybody else. ;-)

    Not wearing a mask after all the times she derided Trump for the same. Bad politician! Bad, bad politician! No wonder people don't trust you.

    I'm not so riled up about the masking rule, though I think Pelosi looks better with a mask. I am against a masking mandate. I believe individuals should be allowed to make sound judgement. What riles me up is that it is mandated in San Fran that salons are shut down for us lowly citizens.....but accomodations are made for the elitist Nancy Pelosi......then she has the elitist attitude to blame a "setup" on the hired help. All the beauticians that have been put out of a job and salon owners have my concern. Even the salon owner where Nancy takes "privilege" says she will not be in business mch longer.

    If this is one of the few times, Daniel, we agree, and if only in part......it gives me a little joy.

    You guys do know Trump has infected hundreds? His events have resulted in dozens of SS agents getting sick, and hundreds of the participants.

    So whatever we do to Pelosi, we should do a few hundred times to Trump.

    Of course, if you want to throw in all the Covid deaths that happened because of Trump's failures, then it's over a hundred thousand...

    Yeah.....you do know Trump engineered this virus in the basement of the White House. Where on earth do you get your logic?

    It's called science.

    He does events without masks or distancing, people get sick.

    Maine had a wedding recently in a town, Millinocket (just outside Baxter State Park, the end of the AT and one of my favorite places) that had not had a single case. There are now 143 cases, the death of a wife of a WW2 vet, and no sign the outbreak is under control.

    The source is a Trump supporter.

    oh good grief, Trump Trump Trump and then you make an unsubstantiated claim that the man "has infected hundreds"

    geez

    can't you admit once when a fellow leftist screwed the pooch?

    Now, as to the topic: so what? Don't we all realize that we are subservient to politicians? I don't care which side of the aisle they sit, double standards are the norm

    It's high time for politicians to come out and basically say "screw the optics" we all think that we are better than you.

    I know better than to argue with a genuine purveyor of fear. It's not science....it's called "gossip". We/ve watched the largest gatherings in the country in the form of "peaceful protest". Don't see social distancing there! Where is the spike? You can make yor mouth say anything and call it science.

    Recently a Trump supported went to a wedding in Millinocket, Maine. Millinocket is in the boonies so far it had not had a single case of Covid. The result is 143 cases, one death, and it is still spreading.

    Being outside helps a lot. But it doesn't stop transmission. Remember Sturgis? Some of the places those guys came from are now experiencing spikes.

    Btw, we figured this out over a hundred years ago...

    Are you not concerned that she also asked a business to accommodate her and violate the current shut down orders of her governor?

    In Sweden, citizens are allowed and encouraged to use their own judgment regarding mask wearing. The Swedish government treats their citizens as adults.

    Here in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, citizens are told what to do, what clothes to wear and other things. Citizens in the US are treated like children, and those members of the Society of Mask Wearing Lemmings love to scold and scorn their fellow citizens not wearing.

    Yes, we've come a long way baby!

    Typical left elitist. And then to throw the salon owner under the bus when Nancy is the one blatantly disregarding the governor shut down and mask rule. The arrogance is beyond comprehension.

    But how is the Trump supported doing? Were there any other guests or did the Trump supporter have to inflict all this Covid on the poor isolated community by himself?

    Did he kill as many as Cuomo, forcing infected hospital patients in old people homes?

    There goes Pelosi's moral high ground. The lefts goddess is a wet haired schmuck.

    No I'm not, I'm calling out political BS. You don't even know if the Trump guy tested positive but you insinuate he infected 140 people. For all you know all those folks might have been on the Mall in DC before they went to this isolated wedding.

    This **** is killing Americans but not at the rate as to justify shutting down the whole country. I have had one person I knew die with it but he had other conditions as well. I know of two others who have had Covid and it was less than a summer cold and these folks are older, one is 92 the other in her 70's. Coronavirus will continue to run it's course regardless of who is in power or what their politics are. It's a virus, it isn't a Democrat or Republican.
