Idaho is a solidly Republican, R+33 state without a statewide mask mandate, but local mandates are allowed. The current governor (he) flew down to the Republican Governors Association meeting in Tennessee. By Idaho law, the Lieutenant Governor (she) gets full power of the governor's office until he gets back. Well, she's Trumpy as gently caress and is running to primary the current governor. So, while he's gone, she decides to make an executive order banning all non-hospital local mask mandates, then posts a fundraising message about it. The state goes all , decides to wait it out a few days, and he gets back and immediately reverses the mandate ban. https://twitter.com/HayatNorimine/status/1398323639070519297?s=19

Is there some practical reason for this, or is this some kind of holdover from the days before telephones when a governor needed to be physically sitting on the Potato Throne in Boise in order to govern?

I know my friend down there (pediatric ID doc) was furious about it because the kids have like 2 more weeks in school and in Houston the latest india covid variant is already circulating.

That Works posted:Texas banned all mask mandates right? Yep, minimal exceptions! The city of Austin wants to do way more than what the state wants, which is to own the libs. So most of what the governor/legislature does is performative lib-owning to restrict the local governments from doing anything.

You should look into the history of Idaho. Boise kind of stole being the capitol from another city and a bunch of other weird stuff happened back when it was just a bunch of drunk prospectors and fur traders.

Can’t believe I agree with an R+33 governor that a particular act is an “irresponsible, self-serving political stunt”. A Bad Poster posted:You should look into the history of Idaho. Boise kind of stole being the capitol from another city and a bunch of other weird stuff happened back when it was just a bunch of drunk prospectors and fur traders. Also, look up what Idaho means. If you get “gem of the mountains”, keep digging.

Now I’m surprised it may actually be a dummy practice bomb. I figured they would have gone without the fuse for dropping them in sand to potentially reuse them.

So, as a mod, I am not encouraging anyone to do the above. Let me be on the record as saying that I am not encouraging anyone to go to the website of Congressman Dan Crenshaw (R-TX-2) and bombard his whistleblower page with tips stating that Crenshaw himself was involved in a smear campaign designed to quiet and intimidate a veteran who suffered a sexual assault at the VA.

Poll finds CDC just as clueless and counterproductive as you thought.quote:The CDC said at the time that it was merely following the science for masking. The agency and its director, Rochelle Walensky, highlighted fresh, real-world studies demonstrating COVID-19 vaccines’ high efficacy and ability to lower transmission risks. But the update was also part of an overt effort to encourage vaccination among the vaccine hesitant by emphasizing the perks of being vaccinated—like not needing to wear masks anymore and reclaiming other bits of normal life. Pressure from Biden? Cluelessness? Still trying to rebuild competency after Trump? Who knows, but it's still going to be a long road to a functional federal government!

I think just about everyone in Israel is sick of Bibi and just wants to kick his rear end out after 12 years in power. Then Bennett’s coalition will turn their knives on Lapid and push ahead with implementing their settler colonialist project in the West Bank.
