Yes.... between Newsom not following the rules he enacted and this set of California law-making clowns --- you really have to ask if Democrats believe that some pigs are more important than others --- seeing their animal farm attitude towards the general public. All politicians need to follow the rules they enacted -- -they don't have special privileges.
Which is why I continue to point out when asked why don't people take this more seriously. This is why and will remain why until our overlords practice what they preach. Don't hold your breath because if they actually practice what they're preaching it would be the first fucking time in the history of government.
Maybe you can point to in the article where it was mentioned which particular lawmakers went and which party they were affiliated with? Note there are actually Republican lawmakers in the state of California. Quite a few, its a big state ya know.
Actually don't bother. I checked for you and found this:- "The Independent Voter Project has declined to identify which legislators are attending the annual event, but some have acknowledged their participation while others have stayed mum. Those attending include Republican Assembly members Heath Flora of Ripon and Jordan Cunningham of Paso Robles, Republican Sen. Andreas Borgeas of Modesto, Democratic Assembly members Blanca Rubio of Baldwin Park, Jose Medina of Riverside and Wendy Carrillo of Los Angeles, as well as Chad Mayes of Rancho Mirage, who won reelection this month as unaffiliated with any political party." The height of hypocrisy is calling out only one side.
The Republicans, generally speaking, are the ones saying go out and about. The Democrats, generally speaking, are the ones saying no travel, stay at home. You are right to the degree that they are all full of shit, but on this particular situation it is the left winning the do as we say not as we do battle. Not to worry, some God fearing Republican will be caught with his pants down, (perhaps literally), soon enough and the balance of hypocrisy will be restored.
Agree especially the last part .... and likely with a young man in a public restroom. D's met their young men in private.
Another R Guv capitulates (maybe some of them are starting to think about their legacy and azz and not Chumpie's):- How Iowa's Governor Went From Dismissing Mask Mandates to Ordering One Herself https://www.yahoo.com/news/iowas-governor-went-dismissing-mask-195405584.html
From the article: If she did not act, Iowa’s hospitals could soon be overflowing with coronavirus patients, leaving few ambulances, beds or doctors left to care for anyone else. the virus is going to do what it will do with or without her mandate. By putting the mandate in place, she knows she has shifted the blame away from herself because she can say "I put the mandate in place! People aren't following it!" That's why she shifted. I'd do it to, were I a politician.
Leadership matters Doctors: Gov. Ron DeSantis needs to act now before it's 'too late' to curve Florida's COVID-19 pandemic If there's one thing scientists agree on, it's that leadership needs to act now before infections overwhelm the state. https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/h...orida/67-2c6c3698-dc3b-459d-9cb0-b959325b78ad Florida mayors both Republican and Democrat are stepping up and asking Governor Ron DeSantis to take action against COVID-19 now. Five mayors from across the state met on Wednesday and asked DeSantis for four things: A statewide mask mandate, more state testing, a better contact tracing system, and more freedom for local governments to implement restrictions. We asked a public health expert and pandemic mathematical modeler from the University of South Florida to weigh in on their requests. "We are getting into the next wave and I think in December, you know, the prediction is, we're going to hit 20,000 cases daily," Dr. Edwin Michael said. The doctor who used to forecast pandemics for the World Health Organization says Florida is in its second wave of COVID-19 infections. Further predictions show the state will see 30,000 cases daily by mid-January. Come February, the state will hit the peak of the second wave with 36,000 or more a day. "This is where I think, you know, governance comes into play. You need to have leadership from the top," Michael said. That's why all eyes are on DeSantis as the virus surges once again. When talking about a statewide mask mandate, Michael says that would be key to flattening the curve, but Public Health Expert Dr. Jay Wolfson says it might not be possible. "If the Governor has a masked mandate, who's going to enforce it? It's impossible," Wolfson said. He says the other things on the list could make the cut. "The contact tracing, very important, takes resources, it's got to be done locally. Increased testing, great idea. There's nothing wrong with that. Restoring local control, I think that makes a lot of sense because this state is like four different states. What happens in Miami and Palm Beach, Pensacola, Duval County, Orlando, and Tampa, are very different places," Wolfson said. If there's one thing both doctors agree on, it's that leadership needs to act now, so Florida's peak of infections won't overwhelm the state. "Now is the time to take action to push that curve down. The governor can't make people wear a mask and it would be horrible if we locked down the economy again. We can't afford to do that either, but by God, we can model better than we're doing politically," Wolfson said.
