    Joe Biden Vows That He Is Prepared To “Shut Down The Country”

    In the first real interview to which Biden has consented in months, he said he would “follow the scientists,” and shut down the country if the ones he chooses to consult say we should. This is on top of his proclamation that if he is elected he will mandate masks be worn by all anytime they go outdoors with no exceptions mentioned. I did not see the entire interview, but this article mentions that he gave no mention of a little thing such as lawful authority for such presidential command and control freakery.

    I think the speech Biden gave simply shows he values scientific opinions over emotional responses.

    But, is he right? We'll let Americans decide that, soon.

    Funny you should mention that because you Trump haters are constantly telling us that President Trump is an authoritarian in waiting to become das führer, yet in this pandemic they squeal and shout for him to put the entire country -with zero authority under the law - into mandatory economy ruining lockdown only to have Trump respond by saying he can only advise the governors, which he did at Fauci’s recommendation. Now, would-be President Biden warns us he will seize the authority and start by mandating mask wearing. Who is the authoritarian here? Very odd how that works.

    Of course Biden learned from his mentor, President Obama, when he sat at his knee and watched him repeat over and over that he had no Constitutional power to grant young illegal aliens any out from established law (23 times on video, as I recall), and then did it anyway. Now there’s authoritarianism right in your face for you. To top it off zer’O just stood before the country and said President Trump has no regard for the Constitution. Yes, very odd how that works.

    "Trump haters."

    I'm starting to like that term. Is there any prize, besides getting Biden and Harris, that goes with that?

    Biden and Harris are no prize to anyone who values democracy. They are socialists plain and simple.

    I don't even think Biden is stupid enough to "shut down the country". That may work for you city folk, but it won't fly here in flyover country.

    Lets revew: most of the serious victims are either 1) very old and frail people in nursing homes (>44%, thanks NY), 2) or people who through their own choices now suffer "co-morbidities" that make them vulnerable to even mild infections. Most rational people understand the absurdity of making me quarantine in a vain attempt to save these people.

    These are the facts. Flame away, I don't give schit.

    I don't think Biden will be running anything even if elected/ Anybody here remember Strom Thurmond? It's common knowledge or common rumor that his staff ran everything the last 20 years of his life while in office. He died at a little over a hundred and spent the biggest part of that in politics but the people loved him depending on what year we are talking about anyway.
