2020 U.S. Presidential Debates

Absolutely! But we have currently abandoned that leader. We have abandoned him in public schools, abandoned his definition of marriage, abandoned his definition of care for the unborn, and we arrogantly think we have abandoned the need for repentance. But, he does not give up. The way forward is clear for those with ears to hear and eyes to see.

I'm more of a "sit under the tree and bitch that I did all of that preachin' and didn't get to see the wipe-out" kinda guy. And, hey, what happened to my tree?

I think it was submerged for forty days.

Went to the wrong city to see the wipe-out

We don't have to follow the rules. Only the peasants do.

Let's not pretend this is limited to Trump (or Republicans):
-Lightfoot's haicut
-Pritzker's daughter's equestrian participation
-Pelosi's hiar blow out
-Fauci at the ball game.
-Etc

No doubt. But he/they are openly blatant about it, and this have put a lot more people at risk.

Everyone for the most part is being cordial and saying he's in their prayers, but of course there's got to be some back of mind, Finally! thoughts.

Don’t count on it.

I was at a fall festival (huge non-political pumpkin patch/corn maze event). They have it every Fri, Sat, and Sun in the fall.

Probably a thousand people were there (despite both a outdoor mask mandate and a 250 people max gathering limit law in place). There were whites, blacks, hispanics, rich, and poor.

You would think that people would be freaked out yesterday about coronavirus b/c of Trump’s positive test.

Still, 95% of those people had no mask at all. My kid felt out of place wearing one. People were definitely packed together there. Even people working the concessions had masks around there neck, but not on their faces.

This was in a swing county of a must-win swing state.

I think people only really care in solid blue districts.

I live in Massachusetts and when I go to the supermarket (once every two week so so) 100% of customers are wearing face coverings, including children. Is this only because the store says you have to wear them to be in the store?

Again, Vinny, the answer is simply the blue color. IL is way blue, esp the NE part of the state where I live, and all of the state and local ordinances require masks in all indoor stores. Compliance is generally near 100%.

I'm in Florida right now. All government mask restrictions are removed. But all of the national stores and franchises have their own rules. Their employees are wearing masks half-heartedly. It's hard to keep up the charade when the customers are going about business like normal.
