President Joe Biden - Page 101 - Politics and Society -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

CDC. I mean, I don't disagree - I think this mask wearing outside thing has been really overdone. But I think Biden feels he needs to set the example, probably all the more so since his predecessor loved to do the opposite with masks.

Honestly, I don't know why wearing a mask outdoors when not in a crowd ever became a thing in the first place.

I don't recall him wearing mask while speaking on the campaign trail. He definitely wasn't wearing one during the debates which were indoors. Was he vaccinated then?

I only have to put my reading glasses on for fine print or dim natural light and find they instantly steam up with my mask and I cannot do both. I end up having to try and pinch the masks at the top so it goes more tight which does work most but not all of the time, for a while.

What are you doing with tape? Are you just applying the tape across the top of the mask (bridge of nose) to make air flow (resistance) more likely to flow down and out? Or are you applying tape to your skin and the top of the mask creating a seal of some sorts?

I might try the prior but would not be interested in the latter.

Doubt I'd bother if I were you but before I did this I was really struggling as I couldn't see the ground.

Interesting; the times I saw clips of him, I recall him wearing a mask and taking it off to speak. I also know that guidance on masks has been constantly evolving.

Not sure what your point is, or what this has to do with the silly tweet you posted.

I don't think that is correct Lozen.

I think you are referring to him saying people earning up to $400k would not be hit with any tax increases to pay for his programs.

That is a very different thing than this tax break for those earning $75K or less. That is a massively significant action for the middle class.

I knew there was a good reason to vote for this guy.

Now if he could take a page from Trump's book and un**** my brokerage account, that would be great. Down almost 18% YTD.

You should stick to index funds instead of whatever meme stocks you’re buying.

Index funds are for retirement accounts, and that's all I have in those.

The regular brokerage account is where you have fun and roll the dice. I did play some meme stocks. Got into GME at 35 and AMC at 4.30ish. The bags weighing me down right now are courtesy of Cathie Wood.

Pretty standard dishonest Ins0 post, blames Biden for his stocks being down 18%, then backpedals and admits that actually he’s down because he gambles on meme stocks like an idiot.

Biden leaves a lot to be desired but he's not going to tank the market.

God, he's about as conservative as they come. These guys really are politically challenged.

its team sports for these guys. Reagan could run as a Dem and they would vote against him. Lenin could run as a Repub and they would vote for him.

only person that could actually override party is Trump. they would vote for him regardless of the party.

You guys need to eat a Snickers. Jesus Christ.

It was a minor joke about Trump being obsessed with green markets. It's obviously not Biden's fault that tech stocks are in the shitter any more than it was Trump's literal doing that 2020 was easymode for gains.

If you need someone to talk to, my PMs are open.

On the contrary. I used my 2 year self-ban to get a degree in internet psychotherapy.

Step into my office. There's a bowl of chill pills next to the couch. The first one is free.

Neither of those things are even true though.
