Leadership in the House of Representatives was lambasted Friday for moving forward with traditional banquets welcoming newly elected members of the lower chamber to Washington, D.C., while Americans are being warned against large holiday gatherings outside their immediate households due to concerns over the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The Twittersphere reacted with fury, with many pointing to the hypocrisy of such a move.

"This is setting such a bad example," the Daily Beast's Jackie Kucinich replied. "Doctors are asking Americans to skip family gatherings for Thanksgiving to slow the spread but sure, enjoy the golden tables in a Stat Hall, a room without working windows."

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom has admitted it was probably not the best idea for him and his wife to join a large dinner party at one of the world's finest restaurants while he is discouraging the citizens of his state from gathering with folks outside their own households during the upcoming holiday season.

The San Francisco Chronicle first reported that Newsom and his wife, first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, attended a recent dinner with a dozen people, involving "more households than California advises," at the French Laundry — known as one of the most exclusive restaurants in the world.

Politico reported that the celebration was for "the 50th birthday of lobbyist Jason Kinney, a longtime friend."

The Hill pointed out that "California's current coronavirus guidelines prohibit gatherings that include more than three households," according to the Chronicle. "Gatherings must also be held outside and should last no longer than two hours."

The White House Rose Garden is a nice location for a welcoming ceremony.
 
Give everyone a Lysol injection and a UV tube up their ass before going in the door.

It's soooo hypocritical for right wing snowflakes to chastise an event that would have been conducted with masks and social distancing in a large room after celebrating Trump rallies, etc, that required no mask or social distancing.

The event has been changed to "grab and go" which is even better.

Of course now the right wingers will twist things to suggest that the democrats cancelled the event because many of the new members were republicans.

SAD!!!
 
As a second wave of outbreaks crash through the Whitehouse and record numbers of infections and deaths are being reached across the United States, it is great to see Sugar Counselor taking such a keen interest in COVID protocols being met, when it comes to groups and crowds of people.

Actually both parties were guilty of it, the GOP too. The Democrats had enough commonsense to change their banquet plans to takeout meals. Wonder what, if any, concessions the GOP made? Rhetorical question btw.

The (R)'s aren't the ones out here trying to lock everything down and threatening people should they decide to do thanksgiving anyhow. :)

So no......not really the same.

I'm glad elite (D)'s get takeout, what about the millions of people in food poverty in their states that they are keeping oppressed because they're on a fuckin' power trip??

Yeah, the report was pretty vague when it said "House leadership". Did Kevin McCarthy push for the banquet as a photo op for the republican gains in the house??? That's a pretty important part of the story that needs clarification.

I would point out the glaring differences in the two photos and the complete ridiculousness of your words and comments, but it would be wasted on you, and is already obvious to everyone sane.

But you’ve never been one to see further than one’s gun muzzle. :)


Keep pouting, keep spreading lies and nonsense, until your next inevitable banning, soldier boy.

I can’t get past how stupid that shirt is. Even if Trump had won, he’d still be #45. Trump could become #47 I suppose, but there’s no Constitutional way that he could ever be #46.

Just another of many examples one can find, showcasing the sheer stupidity and wilful ignorance of the MAGA morons that comprises Trump’s base.

Legit can't make an argument against what I said and can't just admit the hypocrisy is ok when it's your side that's engaging in it isn't it??

Gotta love a partisan hack who's so over the top dishonest they can't even own their hackery LOL!!!

ALL REPUBLICANS!!! ALWAYS!!!! But not all Democrats/Progressives!! :rolleyes:
 
Hey u!
Some flout guidelines and put themselves and others at risk, some willingly put themselves and others at risk.

Yup, this is why in reality at the end of the day it's incumbent on the individual to protect themselves to whatever extent they feel necessary.

Even if the (D)'s go all Joe Stalin and starve millions to death with lockdowns like they've got a hard on for right now?? The disease wills till be around and spreading so it's still going to be up to the individual to protect themselves and hope for the best.

From up here it looks like there are poor and hungry people in all states regardless of the colour or cause. :)

Keep ignoring how much worse it is in places with the harshest of lockdowns.....if you don't it might shatter those rose colored glasses you look at the left with as they start to starve people to death. :D

Speaking of what is it with the left and starving people to death?? It's like a thing they are just GURANTEED to do given the authority to do so.

The Soviets, Chinese, Cubans, Venezuela, Korea...god damn it's like some sick lefty fetish to starve as many people to death as possible any time they can get away with it. And since they only starved them to death at the point of a gun/gulag somehow they think they're better than Nazis who were nice enough to spare the bullet and make it quick for their "non-essential" members of society.

What's with that?? :confused:

And how many people will have to starve to death before (D)umbfucks lose the hard on for the arbitrary exaction of the US economy?
