Well okay, you see them as silly but that doesn't really answer my question. My question is how does it make you feel to call them face diapers, what does it do for you? Why do you go there?

Are they silly? I can agree that yes, when people wear them in a car with the window rolled up I have chuckled at that myself. That's silly, I'll give you that. But why is it silly for people to use them in appropriate settings? And can you admit that it's at least possible that someone wearing a face mask may have kept you safe.

Face diaper? I know you're better than that. And I mean that.
What is the appropriate setting . Costco requires masks , Superstore does not , who is right ? Both are in their legal right as there is no official requirements . Remember back when the experts shut down our country to flatten the curve so as to not overwhelm our hospitals and the projections of millions of deaths ? Remember those same experts telling us face masks were not necessary? Remember ? Sorry this pandemic is a bust IMO .

Whoa, not so fast. I've found myself doing it, while driving from one store I shopped at while driving to another store two blocks away to shop. Hardly worth removing the mask.

Trump and Trudeau are both crooked.

The difference, as I see it, is Trudeau (like his father), could run up the deficit and provide fertile ground for Western alienation, as he plays favorites with different areas of the country (usually where he can win votes).

Trump is a man capable of destroying the most powerful nation on Earth. The things he has done in the past year, are on par with what a third world dictator would do to gain unlimited, and unopposed power. Not surprising when one considers the Administration's close ties to Putin and the Kremlin.
Wow . You have a firm grasp on reality . / s

Do I think Trudeau has his finger on the pulse of twinning HWY 1 through Rogers Pass, and could he name one of the dozens of contractors currently working there, probably not. However in the case of Trump he wasn't playing in the dirt with the contractors, no, what I pointed out was that he was hobnobbing in the Hamptons with the CFO of the We Build the Wall group and some of their associates, then denied knowing them. His son Eric was photographed with the husband (one of the men arrested) of the groups CFO during at Trump's own home, Mar-A-Logo, where he was garnering support for his groups project, and Trump denied knowledge of the project. Trump's son Don Jr. spoke at a fundraiser (with the arrested husband of the CFO) praising the group and their efforts, and has himself been photographed with the (again, arrested) husband of the CFO of the group while visiting the wall, and has left testimonials on the groups website, along with his girlfriend, praising their efforts, and Trump denied knowledge of the project.
So that's the distinction for me. Trump and certainly his sons were aware of the group and the people in charge of it. They noshed with them in the Hamptons while discussing the project, rubbed elbows with them at Mar-A-Logo and attended their fundraisers. Oh and one of the other guys that was arrested, Steve something or other, was a past member of Trump's administration. And Trump denied knowing all of them save one, and claimed he knew nothing about the project.
I think even our drama teacher leader would have a hard time wiggling out of that one.
He never denied knowing them.

For me an appropriate setting is one where I can't social distance in an indoor public place, and if that business requires the wearing of face masks then I wear one, no big deal. And even if they don't I still wear one out of respect to others.

Still though, you are not answering my question, what do you get out of calling them face diapers? What does it do for you? And further why do you care? Why does it bother you to the point of insulting people who choose to wear them? How does it possibly hurt you in any way? As I stated before the fact that some wear face masks may have kept you from catching this virus.

Yes I remember the shut down and yes I remember when the experts said that the wearing of face masks wasn't necessary. But I can appreciate that as new information came to light concerning this virus that situations evolve and that suggested precautions can change. If I remember correctly the recommendation to wear face masks came around the time after were done to determine how this virus behaved in the air. Not a lot was known about this virus early on and so the projected death rates were high, but with precautions in place like the wearing of face masks and social distancing luckily the numbers didn't grow to meet the projections. I choose to look at the good advice given to prevent death rather than criticize because not as many people died as they projected.

So Trump said that he knew nothing about the We Build the Wall project? That's funny, the We Build the Wall project CFO Amanda Shea (who happens to be married to Timothy Shea, one of the men arrested who set up the shell corporations to funnel money to Brian Kolfage, another arrested in the scheme) feels differently. Why, she was even photographed with Trump and gushed about how he supported the project.

I agree he knew about the build the wall movement, top bad the MSM didn't cover it better to find quotes that you would accept (but they sure are covering it now that it is something they can use against Trump), that they were breaking ground, and even promoted their cause. Does that mean he knew what was happening internally within the We build the wall group, and I'm pretty sure that is what he was eluding too when he said I have no idea what they are up too, or who is involved.

My mistake, I recalled his televised statement incorrectly, what he said was that he had no knowledge of the project. Which I believe to be a lie considering all the elbow rubbing that took place between the people involved and Trump and members of his family. To my credit, whenever someone has been connected to him in a way that would cast him in a suspicious light his usual response is to deny knowing them at all, so for me it was a given.

The point you are missing is that Trump stated he knew nothing about the project at all. Why would he lie about that when clearly he did?

"Face diapers" is an ignorant term used by ignorant people. Diapers has the connotation of shit, which is NOT a product valued for saving lives!

I'm sure a clarification will be coming because the MSM will be beating him until he does, and then they will beat him up over the clarification.


Is it wrong that the media insists that he provide clarity? Would you not expect that of anyone in his position Republican or Democrat? I would.
