They Made a List. How Nice!
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is tightening the rules on face masks in House committee meetings following Tom Rice announcing that he had been naked-faced at the capitol while he had tested positive for Covis 19.
Three congressmen have decided to test Speaker Pelosi and refuse to wear a mask anywhere ever. They are Louie Gohmert, Andy Biggs, and Jim Jordan, who just coincidentally also happen to be three of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
They’ve got death, pestilence, and famine covered. All they need is one of the cheap war hawks and they can head on over to the stables and get their horses.
Fixed it fer ya:
“Louie Gohmert, Andy Biggs, and Jim Jordan, who just coincidentally also happen to be three of the Four Horse’sAsses of the Apocalypse.”
1A bit of comic relief in the midst of this- can you imagine the video of gohmert trying to figure out how to put on a mask?
2Shades of the Florida governor’s ineptness. Maybe try to cram the whole thing into his mouth and nose?

3The US House of Representatives Sergeant at Arms is going to be a busy fellow.
4John Pavlovitz has a pithy post on the whole dumb posturing about not wearing a face mask at:

They do understand that they can be expelled by the rest of the House, right?
6ETA: I would not, under any circumstancs, throw down a dare to Madam Speaker. She knows all the angles and Looie and Gym may find their offices have been moved to a “safe location.”
7I still say that Jim Jordan will be trump after trump.
8And sort of off topic, I couldn’t get the link to work, but check out the story on CNN ‘Distressing’: Reverend reveals what evangelicals say privately about Trump
From a deep-red part of Washington state: “Even in Yakima, where we’re one of the worst zones in the country, people aren’t wearing masks solely because it’s a Republican-Democrat issue now. It’s embarrassing.”

It’s not as though the House will be lacking anything substantive if they are prevented from taking their seats, anyway. The Sergeant-at-Arms may have to call for back-up to keep them out, though.
10be a real shame if those three were to get tossed out of the House, and/or terribly sick. yessir, just a real shame.
11Those three would love to be ejected from the House and not let back in until they are be-masked. It would be the call to arms for their knuckle-dragging, drooling supporters. “Look how brave and moral I am, and the libs are trying to suppress the truth because they are liars and disgusting commies.”
So Texas Expat in CA, Pavlovitz has his answer: yup, it’s the greatest hill to die on for them. No real risk to themselves, and a chance to fluff themselves up and pretend to be leaders.
12And when they get off their high horses:
Dumb, Dumber, & Dumbest
13Does Louie have someone running against him? Although I’d love for him to be gone, we do need the comic relief!
14Much as I’d like to laugh at Louie, the unfortunate fact is that these 3 horses patoots are more likely to get others sick than getting sick themselves–at least from their fellow congressmen.
15Decades ago, our dorm dining rooms required guys to wear a tie to Sunday dinner. One guy always wore his tie as a headband with the business end dangled behind his head.
Predicting similar adolescent stunts from this group, if the mask rule is enforced.
16Grandma Ada at #14 asks if GOHMERT! has someone running against him.
Yes. Hank Gilbert.

Both the Texas and Florida Democratic Parties made sure to put up a candidate for every federal office this year.
17Oregon Governor Kate Brown just announced that in seven counties, including mine, people will be mandated to wear face coverings at indoor public places beginning next week. Phew! I just hope store clerks don’t get grief, though I’m sure they will. We just have too many tourists coming into town. Locals got lackadaisical about wearing them when our cases were so low. It ticked me off when people didn’t, especially when they weren’t physically distancing.
