The funny thing about that is that Joe Biden did not lead a goddamn thing during Obama’s 8 years. I don’t remember really hearing Joes name much at all over that time. He damn sure was not out front leading anything.

Face mask U-turn: Walmart, Home Depot, Walgreens and CVS are among stores saying they WILL serve customers who don't wear masks despite announcing face coverings were mandatory
www.dailymail.co.uk...
Major U.S. retailers brought in rules requiring masks to be worn by customers
However, the rules appear to be little more than a suggestion with stores powerless to deal with those who refuse
The requirement for customers to wear facial coverings have sometimes brought violent reactions from some patrons who have refused to comply
Companies that had previously announced a 'mask-on' policy now say they won't challenge customers who refuse to wear them and police will also not be called
Retailers are trying to walk a fine line between enforcement and friendly service
Some stores have stated that if a customer refuses to comply they will be served quickly and encouraged to order online to avoid future encounters
More like "Retailers lawyers inform them that denying one's Constitutional Rights and Civil Liberties is going to end badly."
Thanks to all who stood their ground on this one. One way to stop a bully is to stand up to them.
It's an odd situation.
Rather than the government enforcing these mask mandates on individuals, the states are requiring private businesses to do it. That is, the state has shifted enforcement authority of a state policy onto private businesses. That's really unusual. Usually if a customer breaks a law, the business should call the po po.
And the restrictions aren't the usual safety restrictions on the business like employee hand washing, or keeping food at a safe temperature.
Rather, the government wants private business to enforce restrictions on customer behavior. That's unusual.
So the businesses are now put in the position of government enforcers of a state policy, against their own clients.
Which, in my mind, can trigger all kinds of unanticipated and uninsured or planned for liability. Is the business acting as a business, or as the State when it enforces the order and kicks out a patron?
Imna repeat that one: Is the business acting as a business, or as the State, when it enforces a state mandate requiring individual citizens to behave in a certain way?
Here in North Carolina, the governor's order expressly states that LE should not enforce the mask rule. But that businesses can have patrons arrested for trespassing if asked to leave for not wearing a mask. This is a political ploy so that the governor can say, "we have not had anyone arrested for not wearing a mask" even though potentially dozens may be arrested for "trespassing".
And as I saw with the local Aldi that called the police on a 70 year old who refused to wear a mask, it was the local Aldi that got the bad press, not the governor's ridiculous order.
Without rambling too much, it's really an odd thing. Devious.

Cavv, yes it is deliberately ambiguous but it's too much of a coincidence after:
a) Mike Pompeo stressing yesterday "The awakening is happening", and
b) Q4214 encodes yesterday's date in it's timestamp.
YMMV
P.s. Seems fags on /qresearch are more interested in the Epi-pen/adrenochrome bit, haha.

How do people like this get into positions of power to begin with? Are these voters that brain dead? Abolishing prisons?!?! To be replaced with what? Hugs? This whole abolishing police and now prisons thing is absolutely insane. What are they going to do with all the bad guys? Or are they under the deluded opinion that all crimes are the result of “muh white supremacy?” Can nobody take responsibility for their own actions anymore? Is every one of society’s ills the white mans fault?

That was one of the best posts I've seen here since the start of this Q thing. Please keep bringing us your insights! ABsolutely amazed with this thought process of yours.
I get the feeling that you have to pretend to not notice Juanita is actual a Joe who hasn't had the guts to go all the way.
Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has pointed out three elements that have become what he calls the trademark of the deep Church: “heresy, sodomy, and corruption.”
In a new wide-ranging interview with Vatican expert Marco Tosatti (read full interview below), the Vatican whistleblower speaks about the deeper significance of the case of former Cardinal McCarrick in relation to the “doctrinal crisis” the Church is facing.
Viganò says that a “gay lobby” has “infiltrated into the Church and that is literally terrified that good pastors will shed light on the influence that it exercises in the Secretariat of State, in the Congregations of the Roman Curia, in the Dioceses, and over the entire Church.”
Let’s not forget that the legitimization of homosexuality is part of the agenda of the New World Order – to which the Bergoglian church adheres openly and unconditionally – not only for its destabilizing value in the social body, but also because sodomy is the principal instrument with which the Enemy intends to destroy the Catholic priesthood, corrupting the souls of the Ministers of God.

So, I just officially saw my first Joe Biden TV ad. It’s on Fox during a baseball game. The entire thing was Biden talking about wearing a mask, and different pictures of Joe Biden in a mask. That’s it. That’s the whole message. This has been the most surreal, bizarre Presidential campaign season so far. And it’s only going to get much much worse as we head to November.

Soon to be trending "#3GorgesDam". Now 50 ft above capacity. The PRC just acknowledged the dam "buckling" (confirmed via satellite photos), but assured it is still safe? Dams upstream are breaching. More rain in the forecast. 140+ million downstream, 25% of #China's food supply.
