Vice President Pence refuses to wear mask for Mayo Clinic visit, despite it asking him to

That asteroid is going to miss us, huh?
*sigh…

No. We are going to miss it. It’s had a close escape.

The problem being that the angry man baby in chief loves to retaliate, and his successful penchant for lawlessness means he really could hurt the May Clinic, such as by having the Fed confiscate all the PPE it has ordered. They may have seen capitulating as in the best interests of their patients :-/

No problem. Perfectly safe. He checked beforehand with Doctor Trump and took some magic pills, spent some time under the pretty purple light and had his Lysol injection/gargle/enema just as directed.

Another example of the continuing disaster that is the American for-profit ‘healthcare’ industry. The Mayo Clinic organization has multiple locations in 5 states and take great delight in fleecing their customers to the best of their ability. I have relatives that are patients when the mood or malady rears its head and they believe everything spouted at them as gospel.
The very last thing the org will do is anything that might alienate the 1%.

Putin looks really safe from the patients, but that looks like a respirator with an exhalation valve, so the patients and staff aren’t necessarily much safer from him than patients and staff were from Pence. Pence is still a selfish [insert epithet] with no moral compass, though.

A perfect example of something he knows they absolutely would not do.

You’re fantasizing about something he knows will not be done. This is the entire point!

He’s making clear that they will risk everyone, even patients, before they vex Trump.

But also making the Mayo Clinic complicit in the message that masks are pointless.

Putin doesn’t give a shit about anyone but himself; he’s as much of a self-centered asshole as Dolt 45, just immeasurably smarter. BTW, fixed the missing epithet for you.

Definitely. I just wanted to point out that Putin wasn’t necessarily being more respectful to patients than Pence. But Pence, on the other hand, was being selfish, stupid and was endangering himself and others who will come into contact with him. He’s an ideologically motivated jerk who has a knack for having a fatherly appearance.

The patient should have said

“PUT ON A FUCKING MASK, ASSHOLE!”

Come on, he’s just way to pretty for a mask. Women throw themselves at him in meetings, that’s why he can’t meet with them privately. Give the darling boy a break.

Mike Pence is after all the man who sees a sign reading ‘Critical Space Flight Hardware - DO NOT TOUCH’ and promptly touches it:

So I guess the real question is, why didn’t he wear a mask? Is it because Trump refuses to wear one? Or is he trying to appeal to the anti-lockdown crowd? Or does he think that the Almighty will protect him?

Yes, yes, and yes. Also, “because he’s stupid.”

Pissed off? Ye…

Damn, I almost forgot I wouldn’t post that again…

They probably could have got him to comply if they had a sign that says “Jesus says do not touch.”
