The Absurd GOP

Those are the eyes of a man surveying the buffet.

Newt warns Republicans that Dark Brandon is winning the fight for democracy, and that new even more sinister methods will be required for the GOP to continue it’s fascist mission.

Wow, imagine going a few decades into the past and saying to people "this is a member of the US Congress in our time"

Fauci agreed, per Newsweek:

"The typical mask you buy in the drug store is not really effective in keeping out virus, which is small enough to pass through material. It might, however, provide some slight benefit in keep out gross droplets if someone coughs or sneezes on you."

And there you go: Thick underwear protects from sharts, just as masks do. 
The world is making sense again.

Still wrong.  That was part of the revisionist push post war, like all of those statues to traitors.  Propaganda, not history.  I also think that's a bad thing, and certainly a bad way to form an identity from which to govern in the present.

Ah yes, federal troops in the South and military governors are revisionist myth.

Even then, the "conquest" wouldn't happen until 1865, a bit less than three years after the Emancipation Proclamation was written. And even then, the South was treated surprisingly leniently.

I agree the South treated more lenient under Lincoln and Johnson than it otherwise would have been,

One of the great what-ifs of US history: what if Thaddeus Stevens, through some weird concatenation of events, had been president during Reconstruction (with a working majority in Congress)? One outcome seems certain: you’d be a lot further along on that civil rights thing than you are now.

The virus rides in the mucus, it doesn't naturally waft around in the air by itself. The mask provides a reduction in viral loading, same as social distancing. And while we're on the subject of protection, little Marjorie should have been removed from her stupid parents and gotten a decent upbringing or dad should have used a condom. She adds little to the world.

The virus is located on the droplets .....

Also it's hilarious you pick a quote from early days of the pandemic rather than later statements by Dr. Fauci or Advice from the CDC as if the situation doesn't change or the data isn't updated. Your own source agrees with me. 

Fauci has previously been criticized for changing his position on masks. Early on in the pandemic, he advised against wearing face coverings, but that advice evolved over time.

On March 8, 2020, Fauci said "there's no reason to be walking around with a mask," according to Reuters—but this was before the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance on masks on April 3.

The CDC recommended that people wear face coverings "in public settings when around people outside their household, especially when social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."

The changes were made as more information about COVID-19 became available during the pandemic. Fauci has since encouraged mask-wearing in line with the CDC advice. He told NBC News on January 25 that wearing two masks was "common sense."

"So, if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective," he said. "That's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95 [respirator]."

Ah yes, federal troops in the South and military governors are revisionist myth.

He never claimed there were no federal troops or military governors in the south. That doesn't back your claim they were treated as a defeated nation. They were simply treated as a wayward rebellion. Try again.....
