A short note on face masks [UPDATED]
I watched Mike Pence’s joint appearance today with TX Gov. Greg Abbott, and wanted to point out the latest, harmful and obfuscating dodge when it comes to wearing face masks.

We will NEVER know if Trump and Pence are positive or negative because…Pelosi next in line.
We will never ever know if Trump or Pence has tested positive or negative regarding Covid19. They lie about everything and unless they both end up hospitalized in ICU and on ventilators, they will always say they test negative. They will say that because unlike Boris in UK, our constitution has a provision of succession. …

#Trumpeachment closing in: WH panics as compliance refusals include Pence and #RudyColludy

Whoa… Pompeo was on the 25 July call with Trump and Ukraine (Zelensky)
dum-da-dum-dum x So it was evidently common knowledge in Ukraine that the price of getting US military help fending off Putin’s aggression was helping Trump’s 2020 re-election.
