    True Believers

    Ya gotta admire sticking to your beliefs no matter what.

    Reports are coming in that many Republicans refused to mask up while packed together to escape a mob hunting them through the Capitol. This, despite being implored to do so by several members.

    Now, a number of lawmakers are popping up with positive COVID tests and Dr. Ouchey (Trump called him that in the first press conference back in March and I thought it really funny) is labeling the shelter-in-place as a superspreader event.

    Way to go, Republican Congress critters. Even under fire, defiance of health guidelines remains paramount, even if it endangers others. Not even simple courtesy or concerns for others could crack that line.

    The House has now imposed fines for violations of the mask rule, beginning at $250 and taken out of their pay

    There are also pictures of the partisan complainers without their masks. This is horse poop.

    I'm not sure what you are saying regarding partisans. That aside, I don't believe there is anything partisan in the ruling---without a mask they (of any partisan label) will be fined.

    The complaining about the republicans not wearing masks is political grandstanding. I’m fine with their rules, but it’s just one more opportunity for them to bang their spoons on their high-chairs since almost all of them can afford it.

    Who is this "they"? I see individuals complaining about other individuals, who did not agree to a simple request. If someone asks me to please put on a mask for their safety, I'm happy to comply as a matter of courtesy. These individuals did not, as a matter of defiance. I haven't heard of a single Democrat being asked to wear a mask who refused to comply when sheltering from the mob. If you have such a report, please draw attention to it.

    Nope, I dunno who gave what to whom. I don't really care. It is the FU attitude I am noting. Even in a moment when their lives were at stake, these Republicans just could not resist telling their colleagues to "bite me".
