(111,339 posts)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.

(13,620 posts)hospitals would issue statements saying no one is welcome here without a mask and our security will bar your entrance. No exceptions!

(269,157 posts)It's their rules and Pence should not be allowed hear a patient without that mask.
Fuck that shit.

(12,712 posts)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.

(42,770 posts)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.

Or the Kool-Aid drinkers in Guyana.
Or suicide bombers who think they are martyrs.
Trumpism has become a cult.

No one should be allowed to violate hospital protocol.

(42,770 posts)opportunity to go and thank all the hard working medical staff at Mayo. I tell you, Pence wins out by an inch for me, for most gag inducing of the two...Dumb and Dumber.

(10,885 posts)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.

Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)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.

(621 posts)Hes 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.
