Washington (CNN)The US Capitol's attending physician said Sunday that masks will be optional on Capitol Hill starting Monday, just a day before President Joe Biden will deliver his State of the Union address in the House chamber.
Citing new guidance from US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. Brian P. Monahan said in a memo that "individuals may choose to mask at any time, but it is no longer a requirement."

Masks are political theater. Nothing legitimate at all about them. Because of that, I will not be part of their political theater, will never wear a mask again.
The last doctor's office visit I had, about 8 months ago, I was told, several times that "masks are required" and I pointedly did NOT wear one. None of the office staff, the nurses or the doctor said a word about it to me in person.
You really do not have to go along with their game. Just say "NO". If they get huffy, leave. They need your money.

We all know why that is!! The doddering fool will be taking a victory march claiming he got rid of COVID, although more Americans died under his Presidency than Trump's!!

I will not watch. I will not listen. The SOTU has been canceled at my house.

Well, isn’t that nice? If we want, we can tune in and watch Nancy sucking on her dentures.

Oh no. So Pelosi will now be able to display her alien-facelift with gravity defying eyebrows on the tube. I bet she'll frame this copy of the SOTU instead of ripping it in half. Evil B!!ch.

I expect any Republican Senator or Congressperson of good conscience to be at home watching on TV. A fraudulently-installed President having a fraudulent SOTU address is not something they should attend.

Clinically laughable civilian have been a poltiical statement. They are no more effective than a "Whip Inflatiion Now" lapel pin. Continuing to wear them, especially at the SOTU, would be just a reminder that Biden has not ended the pandemic as promised. They have now outlived their political value.

The doctor may have cleared Congress to not wear masks, but will Nancy Pelosi allow the House by changing her draconian House Rules and fines? She will come up with some excuse. If I were to attend the State of the Union, I would need to wear a mask to hide the look of disgust and other faces I would most likely be making while Biden was spewing his carousel of lies and fantastical myths of accomplishments over the past year.

The HairSniffer will probably have one on, at least until he starts to mumble.
Keep up the Kabuki Theater.
On the other hand, I have a suspicion that him keeping the mask on makes it more difficult for people to see that what is really there is not a doddering old man, but a Disney animatronic character.

How conveeeenient! I'm sure this decision was made by the "Capitol physician" - - who else would make it? But - - I still hope that the commies and demonrats continue to wear their big, black masks. Who wants to see their evil, ugly faces?
