Maybe Biden should take a step back and decide what he believes in and study what a POTUS can and cannot do.

How many issues is Biden going to flip flop on and lie about this year?

I read people saying they are supporting Biden because he will make masks mandatory. How are they feeling now that Biden says he won't?

Biden denies he supported a national mask mandate, claims he’s a ‘constitutionalist’

He cannot remember what his handlers and his team tell him to do.

Biden has dementia, in one form or another--the man is mentally not in his prime.

Asked if he would use his federal leverage to mandate the wearing of masks, the former vice president said, "Yes, I would from an executive standpoint. Yes, I would. I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public," Biden said.


He said he would do "everything possible." However, unlike the outgoing orange disgrace, he does recognize that he really doesn't always have absolute, Constitutionally bestowed power to act on a whim unilaterally.

He doesn't. That's just what you want to hear so you can keep yelling at the TV about your freedom to spittle all over anyone within 10' radius.

B.S.,he has been running that he will. We are still waiting on his plan. A task force, so political appointees can sit on a table and "talk" about ideas? how is the drug czar and task force working out?


He ran that he will do better and save lives. What's the plan?

We have a mask mandate in my town and compliance has fallen from 95% to 75%. The only people really getting it badly have some serious health issues....smokers and the elderly. Mandates are only as good as your ability to enforce them. Maybe we'll get herd immunity faster.

I get it...we don't want to overwhelm hospital ICU capacity.... I'm just reporting my observations here in eastern south dakota. Honestly the high risk people should be shopping at 6-8AM anyways ..if you go shopping at 5PM you only have yourself to blame. That's what I do...because hey, nobody else ever does. It's always empty at 6am.

I remember when they only had one entrance opened because social distancing right? . Also reduce the hours so I can't go shopping at 1AM.

Speaking of spittle...



Oh, what do you care? You can't even admit a guy with a 5+ million vote lead in the popular vote and a statistical lock on the Electoral College has won the election. His plan could be to write you a million dollar check and you would complain about it not being 2 million.

At least Trump told you what he believed and wanted to do. With Biden you'll never know until it's already done. It's going to be a sneaky administration just like Obama's.

yeah and I want peace in the world and a unicorn. What does that supposed to mean? ""Yes, I would from an executive standpoint. Yes, I would. I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public"

Explain where in the constitution he has the power to make people wear masks? is he going to pass an executive order to back it up with federal troops in a country of 340 million people and only 35k FBI employees? he would need lots lawyers because he will be tied up in court with lawsuits.


Is like asking a candidate, what are you going to going to do about job growth and they answer real vague ""Yes, I would from an executive standpoint, I would do everything possible to make it grow"

but what are the details? " I will talk to economists and listen to them and I will do everything in my power to make it happen"

this guy is a joke.
