he's slamming back every morning, he's still vulnerable to catching this thing. And I sincerely hope he is generous with it once he gets back to the White House. That's the only way any of those inner circle goons is going to take any of this seriously, even if they all get off easy with it.

Even my extremely light case of "presumptive" was uncomfortable.

Obviously, this is signaling to the base. It is not dumb. Everybody else is wearing one around him.

"Look Martha, that devout man thar is washed in Jesus' blood and he ain't wearin' no mask! I toldja!"

Why they want them to resist, get infected and die is another matter all together. It could be as simple as having guinea pigs die for the economy, or something deeper.

I never consider these shrewd foxes dumb because they are good at raiding the hen house.

Chance trump isn't doing unknown horrible things behind the scene that we don't even know about.

Guess he feels like he has to solidify his base. If one of them gets it, it was someone else's fault.

during the daily CV pressers. It would be more practical from a health safety aspect, especially since he apparently also refuses to wear a mask. He should save both his time and OUR money by staying in D.C. and adhering to the guidelines set by his own task force.

The only salvation would be if he brings home a little live "gift" for his boss.
AHHHH-CHOOOOOOOOO!

Thursday he heads for a ventilator factory. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Their "patient" is wearing street clothes and hospital ID badges.

On Thursday, Pence will be visiting a ventilator factory. Again, no reason to be there except for the visuals. It'll be interesting to see if he'll be wearing a mask there after all the blowback he received today.

The most absurd thought, however, is that he won't wear a potentially life-saving mask, but he will wear a completely useless necktie that serves no purpose. Doesn't seem like he gave much thought to that enigma.

He’s not being “brave” and putting HIS life on the line. He is endangering all patients. He could be a carrier. The masks are to prevent others from getting sick if we are carriers. This move was a selfish publicity stunt. I hope it was staged, because otherwise this in a very bad example for Pence to show, and truly does endanger anyone in the high-risk group in that hospital.
