Some of you pick the most ridiculous things to criticize Biden about, but then cry about TDS when Trump gets criticized for anything. LOL
There are several pictures in the OP's article. Biden is surrounded by many different people in some of the photos. Lot of press there taking the photos plus the secret service. And he was fairly close to them at some points.

Easier to just leave the mask on. No big deal to wear a mask and just leave it on rather than take it on/off several times in a short period. Especially if you don't have 2 free hands to mess around with the mask. He was holding the dog's leash and also throwing tennis ball in some photos.

So you don't think photo ops are meticulously crafted to convey an ideal?

Yeah, there's something to be said about not taking any risks and being on a government tit one's entire life. Doesn't it?
As a native Delawarean, I've had to pay for the Bidens' feeding at the public trough for countless years. If you lived here, you would see Lets Go Brandon flags and bumper stickers everywhere. He's not our hero as some might think.

No politician's a hero. There's a difference though in making money in private sector and then going into the public sector ala Bloomberg/Trump, and those who've spent their entire lives living off of taxpayers. Not only is it egregiously and morally wrong, but also ineffective. How can politicians make laws affecting private citizens, when they themselves have never really been one?

Well, you never know when a malevolent, rogue covid virus might target him out there in the middle of nowhere.

I recall, last summer and the summer before, seeing morons (from a distance) in my area wearing masks whilst hiking on wilderness trails (we're talking mountain/desert hiking trails where you were unlikely to even SEE another human for the entire five hour plus hikes). Maybe they where afraid of infected deer or rattlesnakes.

We know the secret service is there. Within arms length and a mile away. I suspect a car or two, also.

Who took thee photo?
