Biden and Harris Call for Mandatory Muzzles for 330 Million Americans; Trump Slaps Down the Proposal
'For the next three months at a minimum'
The presumed Democratic presidential candidates called for a federal order for mandatory mask mandate that would apply to all Americans nationwide.
Former Vice President Joe Biden made the demand on Thursday and California Sen. Kamala Harris endorsed the policy.
“Every American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside for the next three months at a minimum,” Biden told reporters in a media briefing in Wilmington, Delaware.
“Let’s institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately and we will save lives. The estimates are we will save over 40,000 lives in the next three months if that is done,” Biden added.
Harris approved of Biden’s statement.
“That’s what real leadership looks like,” Harris said. “We just witnessed real leadership.”
The announcement was made only a day after Harris was announced as Biden’s vice presidential pick.
Federal vs. local control
President Donald Trump has resisted calls for a federal mask mandate and has instead left it up to state and local governments to determine their own policies on enforcing social distancing guidelines.
When asked to respond to the suggestion from Biden and Harris, he gave a characteristically dismissive response.
“We do not need to bring the full weight of the government down on law-abiding Americans to accomplish this goal. Americans must have their freedoms, and I trust the American people and their governors very much,” President Trump said in his media briefing.
“I trust the American people and the governors want to do the right thing to make the smart decisions and Joe doesn’t. Joe doesn’t, Joe doesn’t, know too much,” he continued.
“Unlike the Biden approach, our approach is guided by science,” he added. “Sleepy Joe rejects the scientific approach in favor of locking all Americans in their basements for months on end!”
The president went on to accused Biden of wanting to “shut down our economy” and “grind society to a halt” through a federal mandate.
A poll in June found that 76% of Americans thought the lockdown was appropriate or didn’t go far enough, while 80% of Americans said that they looked favorably at people who wore masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The U.S. has seen more than 5.2 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 across the country, and the death toll in the U.S. is at more than 166,000 people.

Masks don’t do diddlysquat other than fearmongering. I call bullshyte. Among 0-44 year olds they’re 4 times more likely to die in an accident than with covid-19. That’s from the CDC’s own data. Just as likely to die in a car accident. Maybe we should mandate walking instead of driving… Think of the lives we’ll save!!!
Muzzletov: 76-80% of the populace brainwashed into believing the hoax, a non-existent disease bringing the proles to their knees, the Gates of Hell vaccine, now line up if you please, left, white and schlenter, and God bless the dissenter!
33%, wear for 3 months, until Dec which is the 12th month. 1=2=3…. 33 How evil this is. Part of the ritual, showing you with numbers and signs in plain site. For eyes to see…
I’ve got a mask those two front running, fake fraudsters can wear.

The point was to make the statement and use the campaign as the platform. Surely, millions upon millions of Americans cheered as they heard this.
Only criminals hide their faces.
Will Biden and Harris resign if it doesn’t work?
Wouldn’t it be “safer” in the basement, Joe?

I don’t see that a man who died of AIDS at 45 is the one to follow for medical advice.
That would the man who died without an HIV infection.
At 45.
Age is irrelevant to disease. Comorbidities kill more people than viruses do.
Let me say with clarity, Mr. Mercury was a brilliant artist who would also be approximately the last person I would consult for medical advice.
Freddie Mercury died of the same thing my mother and sister did, iatrogenic ignorance.
More importantly than consulting him for medical advice would be his doctors, who didn’t seem to be more interested in successful treatment of his condition than he was.
I’ll go with his own admission that he had AIDS. Your second or third hand analysis is of no interest to me.
I didn’t know that he was a leading pathologist.
I’m pretty sure a man of such means relied upon notable doctors to provide a diagnosis. In spite of your denials, he didn’t seem to embrace them. Go figure.
Notable doctors kill more people than COVID has.
I’d follow his medical advice before I’d follow your political advice.
Such misguided faith in other people is not uncommon. The hoards number in the tens of millions who choose to follow the political advice of 6 time bankrupt pussy grabbing fraudster. There’s just no accounting for taste.
Maybe you are just sore that I’m not putting misguided faith in your dots & pixels & algorithms & performance art. Maybe you desire for our “tastes” to converge, while my desire is to converge with another.
‘Cosplay with pixels’ is nothing to get sore about.
That’s not what I was referring to. I was referring to faith vs putting misguided faith in you & your ideas & your words.
Taste is irrelevant. That’s why it is subjective.
MrTermiteEatenGuy: Wear the muzzle, half-wit.
A muzzle is not a mask is not a muzzle.
Taken to task: A mask is a muzzle is a mask.
“A muzzle is a device that is placed over the snout of an animal to keep it from biting or otherwise opening its mouth.”
Doesn’t sound like a mask to me.
Flexing my muzzle: I know exactly what a muzzle is, and I exactly know what a muzzle is, and as I said, the mask of the beast is a muzzle. Try again, but best to take off the muzzle before you attempt to express yourself.
‘A restraint on free movement or expression, to restrain from expression.’
Sounds like Hannibal Lecter.

Wow! I like this one, Mensch. You really nailed it perfectly;D That sign says it all. Great job;D
My partner forwarded it to me. The credit is hers and I’ll pass it along.

“How hard is it to refuse to comply with the (lawless?) diktat to wear a face covering?!?!”
A better question is:
How EASY and FOOLISH is it to focus on having to wear a face covering in a pandemic, rather than ACTUAL ARMED repression . . .
Look away, you cowardly gravedigger:
https://youtu.be/Rh6GM5lgU6Q
You posted a news clip from almost three and a half weeks ago. What did the protesting/rioting and your post accomplish?
On the other hand, the face mask ought to be viewed as a device used by authoritarians to control the masses and enforce compliance to lawless edicts. This control and enforcement by authoritarians is ongoing and growing.
You must be 100% in compliance with this kind of authoritarian control and enforced compliance to lawless diktats to write “having to wear a face covering in a pandemic”.
That’s why your brand of “leftism” has become a sick joke. Sad.
Maybe learn from LuckyLuke1976 instead of believing that you have all the answers to all the really important questions.
Is that possible?
However, I did get this (for whoever might be interested):
“ONE OF THE MOST POTENT MYTHS of mainstream U.S. historiography concerns what Indigenous archaeologist Michael V. Wilcox calls “terminal narratives”: an obsession with the death, disappearance, and absence of Indigenous people rather than their continued, visible presence and challenge to colonialism. The most obvious example of this tendency are historical models that assign blame for the mass killing of the Indigenous to invisible, chance forces—above all, the diseases colonizers unwittingly carried with them—rather than to calculated warfare and theft over centuries of relentless European invasion.
Debates about the epidemiological vulnerability of Indigenous people first came to prominence in the 1970s as historians backed away from narratives of European cultural superiority in search of more scientific explanations. This biological turn identified microbes as a primary culprit in the mass death of the Indigenous, suggesting that the depopulation of the Americas was an inevitable result of Native communities’ contact with diseases from the old world. In a 1976 essay, the historian Alfred W. Crosby put forth the “virgin-soil epidemics” thesis, which posited that Europeans brought diseases—in particular, smallpox and measles—that wiped out 70 percent or more of Native people in the Western Hemisphere because they lacked immunity. In what was framed as the most extreme demographic disaster in human history, the most affected regions experienced a 90 percent depopulation rate, including deaths related to disease, which is estimated to have reduced the population of the Americas from one hundred million to ten million. . .”
