I know it was not even close to being the worse thing Mike Pence has done or said in between the

several-times-a-day Trump ass kissings, but the obsequious twit's recent visit to the Mayo Clinic really chapped my nether regions.

Mr. Pence, wearing his most sincere "I really really care because I'm such a good Christian" expression, was filmed entering a patient's room with an entourage of at least half a dozen people. The patient was wearing a face mask. The doctors and nurses and administrators and the governor---everyone in the room EXCEPT THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED EFFING STATES---was wearing a mask!

NO ONE is supposed to enter the Mayo Clinic these days of pandemic unless they are wearing an appropriate mask but, hey---this guy is Trump's most prolific sphincter smoocher so, ---just like his boss, he don't need no stinkin' rules!

I guess I should be used to the unprecedented arrogance of the various functionaries in the Trump cesspool of an administration, but Pence's unnecessary flaunting of his power and privilege in a way that could cost lives just sort of got on my last nerve. Someone should have stopped the sanctimonious waste of skin and told him to either don a mask or get his ass back out into the parking lot!

His wife is not the only "mother" in that household.

Nobody EVER steps up and says that's bullshit
Nobody EVER walks away in disgust
Nobody EVER challenges them
I don't give a shit until I see someone, anyone, stand up to that fucking blob and his wimpy sidekick

Is there no one, no where, with the balls and integrity to call them out? and this is precisely the reason we have what we have. We are complicit, just like the German people were. Good luck America.

Boy was I wrong.... I lost a loved one to cancer last year. All during the fight we were worried about the infections because he had other things going on that upped his risk. The unmitigated fucking gaul that twisted bastard had in going into that hospital without a mask right now. It's hateful, HATEFUL. I can't even.

The "patient" appears to be in scrubs and wearing hospital id.

Did they just pick a random nurse to lay down for the photo-op?
