Washington, D.C., mandates face masks for the public ($1,000 fines), but exempts all lawmakers and government employees

It’s what Democrat lawmakers do. Just like Obamacare they foisted on America. Garbage healthcare, but not for them.

As for the DC protests, carry on and infect each other.

Washington, D.C., mandates face masks for the public, but exempts all lawmakers and government employees

Washington, D.C., mandates face masks for the public, but exempts all lawmakers and government employees

By: Ethan Huff, Newstarget, July 23, 2020:

Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington, D.C., has decreed that everyone present in the federal territory must wear a face mask, including three-year-olds, to supposedly help stop the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19). But exempt from the order are all lawmakers and government employees, because they are apparently a different breed that is incapable of catching or spreading invisible germs.

Bowser’s mandate, which was not legally passed as a law, orders everyone over the age of two in D.C. to wear a face mask both indoors and outdoors, or else face fines of up to $1,000. All non-politicians two-years-and-one-day-old and above will be aggressively policed for compliance, even as Bowser and her ilk push to defund and abolish the police.

“Under the new Mayor’s Order on masks, people must wear a mask when they leave their homes if they are likely to come into contact with another person for more than a fleeting moment,” Bowser’s office announced.

The only people who are not being told they must wear face masks under the order are lawmakers, judges and government employees who are “on duty,” a highly subjective designation that can be easily thwarted by “public servants” who can now arbitrarily decide that they are “working” whenever they feel like not wearing a cloth covering.

“The enforcement provisions of this Order shall not be applied to persons in the judicial or legislative branches of the District government while those persons are on duty,” the order states, adding that it also “shall not apply to any employees of the federal government while they are on duty.”
Meanwhile, parts of Florida are now “requiring” that people wear masks inside their own homes

Set to expire no earlier than October 9, 2020, Bowser’s order is among the most restrictive in the country, save for the mask “mandate” recently decreed in Florida’s Miami-Dade County.

Residents of this South Florida enclave are being told that they must wear face masks at all times, even inside their own homes whenever guests who do not normally reside at the property are present.

“All persons who reside on any residential property, whether single family or multi-family, and irrespective of whether they own or rent the property, must ensure that all persons on the residential property, including guests, comply with all applicable guidelines of any Broward County Emergency Order, including the facial covering requirements,” the Miami-Dade order reads.

“Residents who fail to ensure compliance with all applicable Broward County Emergency Orders by such persons shall be subject to the penalties set forth in Section 8-56 of the Broward County Code of Ordinances, with each person present and in violation of an applicable Emergency Order constituting a separate violation,” it adds.

While Miami-Dade residents are not being commanded under penalty of persecution to wear face masks inside their homes when they are just there alone or with family members, the area government is encouraging them to do so at all times.

For violating the others aspects of the order, Miami-Dade is threatening to fine violators based on a sliding scale. The first offense incurs a $50 fine, while the second incurs a $100 fine. After that, the fines jump to $500 per violation with the additional possibility of jail time.

The disturbing irony of this newfound threat of jail for refusing to cover one’s face and mouth is that early on during the plandemic, some leftist areas of the country had decided to release prisoners because keeping people locked inside prison cells in close proximity to other prisoners is said to increase the risk of viral spread.

I would bet all those Florida counties are run by Democrappers. How ridiculous! Wearing a mask inside your home! Will they be having home inspections to make sure people are complying too?

DEM D.C. Mayor Woof-Woof hates Trump with a passion.

Oh, is she ugly. Built like a brick shipyard even. And those who cheer her on clearly hate BEAUTIFUL women – like our FLOTUS, for example, given the demeaning comments directed at her.

But it (wording deliberate) is an indicator of what the Left views as a “strong woman”: a mean-faced (or Botoxed a la Nancy Pelosi), clipped-haired, fat-hipped (or just plain fat like Stacey Abrams) or built as this creature is, ugly both inside and out, bossy, pushy, shrewish, nasty, vindictive, patronizing, condescending, haughty, arrogant, with a voice like fingernails running down a chalkboard, statist, overbearing and domineering battle-axe, hag, harridan and harpy.

All BS!!!! As there is NO law that authorizes a fine and they have no authority to try and mandate one! And besides that the Constitution demands that ALL are treated the equal under the law!!!! You can’t exempt ONE class of people under any mandate. Just can’t fix STUPID with moronic libturd criminals!

“Exempts all lawmakers and government employees” = tyranny and really going so far as to violate people’s rights.

What this is all about is lurching towards the creation of a faceless society. Moreover, masks are mostly associated with violent criminals and anarchists. As well as an emblem of slavery, a sign of submission, a mark of inferior second-class status, and a surrender to tyranny. Plus how the society has descended into naked totalitarian control and subjugation of the populace. I’ve always said this but it bears repeating: If G-d had meant for us to wear masks all the time, He would NEVER have even bothered to put a face on our heads at all.

Medical tyranny has arrived. We are talking about a flu virus that’s deadly to those with an immunity issue, the elderly, and those with other serious medical conditions. 0.3—-0.5 morbitity rate. Masks offer a false sense of security and a majority of independent researchers prove it.

Although I support President Trump and will vote for him in November, I do blame him for all of this in his failure to expose all of this false information from its inception. Now all of these idiots have come to accept the lie told by Fauci that this may somehow help when he knows full well that generic “masks” do not stop viral transmission. (They halt bacterial transmission.)

I fully understand that had he not listened to Fauci when he did his 180 on the mask thing and suggested we lock down the entire economy it would appear that he (Trump) was being arrogant for defying the “experts.” But he should have held conferences with doctors and epidemiologists (which Fauci is NOT) from the US and the world who disagree with Fauci to let the public know that Fauci may be wrong. There is no justification for Trump’s failure to publicize the fact that there is no scientific basis or historical basis for Fauci’s advice. Trump also failed to attack all of these false numbers of dead people and now he is failing to attack all the false “cases” being reported that are not cases of active disease.

I really do not know what POTUS’s plans are at this point but with respect to this thing he has stepped into quicksand big time and needs to try to get out before his head is under the quicksand.

Aggressively policed – thats just great – the Cops which are already stretched to the breaking point are now being asked to ” aggressively police ” the general public on whether they’ve got something over their mouth when its been proven the only masks truly effective to any real degree are N 95 ones – This nonsense keeps getting crazier all the time..
