Wisconsin

[pacearrow02]

Ah, so you agree that rural areas of Wisconsin were not wearing masks?  Just say that.

And if the law enforcement of the rural counties on WI won't enforce the mandate, then pull their funding.  No pay raises, no new equipment, etc.    Enough kittenfooting around.

I agree 100% that rural counties are much less likely to enforce and wear masks, never challenged that.

In my opinion, this state mandate will not change that, that’s all.

I think it’s hilarious that all of a sudden all these law enforcement agencies are quoting their oaths to uphold the Constitution. Something most of them have never particularly worried about before.

The constitution is a matter of inconvenience or convenience depending on the day

For both sides.

This is true but few will admit it

For both sides.   

Not all the same.

Dems have never said that criminal law is for ordinary Americans. But not for trump.

“The president is not to be treated as an ordinary citizen,” Trump’s lawyer Jay Sekulow said before the Supreme Court. And therefore, he said, a “criminal process targeting the president is a violation of the Constitution.”

Before a lower court, Trump’s lawyers argued that even if he shot someone in broad daylight in downtown Manhattan, he could not be investigated until he’s out of office.

“Nothing could be done? That’s your position?” Federal Judge Chin asked incredulously at the time.

“That is correct,” Trump’s lawyer William Consovoy responded.

I don't remember one side going to court and making the argument that the president is above all law - including murder.

Trump is one guy.  Not the entire side for the entire history of the party.

Yes, I realize elected repubs from around the country spoke out against this.


To your point, though, it is correct. But it is no longer the repub party you have supported through the years. I realize that puts people like you - lifetime Rs (I assume) - in a tough spot as to who to support when those upon whom you depended no longer have any plan or belief.

I have no doubt from just what I have read on Scoop that you and Glow are really good people. Makes decisions tough.

Watch the new ad from The Lincoln Project with Stephen Root and the Republican coming out of a coma after 3.5 years.

I am a fiscal conservative and a social morate. Didn't vote for Trump and never will.

"Governor Evers actions today are nothing more than a political stunt to create a partisan fight with the Legislature," Nass said in a statement. [SO BY GOD I'M GONNA DEMAND WE DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY HE WANTS.]

Nass doing what Nass does.

BTW the Governor can remove county sheriffs for not doing their job. He won’t. And he shouldn’t. But he can.

I didn't think you did. More to my point, it's gotta be hard when you don't feel that one of your choices is someone who represents how you feel.

I am certainly farther left than Biden, but we are still in line on most issues.

My guess is that they don't overturn it. First and foremost, they want to be re-elected. While some of the rural guys would be safe, I think they would lose a lot of seats if they did this. It would even put a guy like Vos in play for defeat.

Where is my constitutional right to walk around naked? These police.will enforce those laws. I mean its.weird as heck pondering walking around stores naked but not like it's actually dangerous. However a mask mandate to prevent somthing potentially dangerous is going to far? In unconstitutional and not worth enforcing? Werid logic.

[Jockey]

Nass doing what Nass does.

He should. We expect our leaders to set examples for decency and following rules. If they don't wanna do that one simple thing, get rid of them. We have enough police corruption without adding more to it.

Rural Wisconsin is certainly no Milwaukee or Madison.  In my county, the volunteer fire departments raise money by holding gun raffles.  A farmer a few miles from my house whose barn faces the state highway has about a dozen flags planted in front of it, evenly divided between Trump 2020 flags, American flags, and "Don't Tread on Me" flags.

I assume he is protesting the gov't mandate that he has to wear a seat belt.

Watch the rhetoric Jock - I've cleaned up a few of your posts.

Couldn't be.  I've been clearly told I only try to silence the conservative voices.
