Let's start keeping a running thread where we cite examples of elites who demonstrate extreme hypocrisy in the areas of national lockdown and social distancing.
I'll start us off with these.
- PA Governor Tom Wolf who has arbitrarily closed thousands of small businesses as "non-essential" with the stroke of a pen, but has granted an exemption to his own small business (a cabinet shop). Because that kitchen remodel that you've been procrastinating on since 2007 simply can't wait! For extra credit Tommy the Commie has closed the state office which administers the Freedom of Information Act so that none of us can see exactly who got exemptions and what the process was for granting them.
- Mayor Lori Lightfoot who sent thousands of Chicago barbers and hairdressers to the unemployment rolls while at the same time going out and getting a new "do" for herself.
- For honorabla mention Dr. Tony Fauci who likewise always appears perfectly coiffed in his TV gig while telling the rest of us to go duck-and-cover under the kitchen table.
Please add yours.
Elite hypocrisy is already a long established proven.
A much more difficult task is to provide a counter example.
uh oh...bumbleguner will be here to bast your vanity soon
I heard yesterday that a third CNN reporter is infected with Covid-19. They’re always wagging their fingers at as about social distancing. I’m convinced they’re all...sharing each others tooth brushes.
Yes indeed. I suspect the reporters at CNN have already had tons of experience with contract tracing.
Contact tracing. Damn autocorrect.
Well- if you were a Liberal, you could just ‘create’ that image and foist it onto the gullible public....who are always ready and eager to be conned.
The recent coronavirus Elton John concert with all the celebs and pols crowded into an auditorium.
I turned mine off. I’m a big boy. I don’t need help. I can make my owm mistakes! ;-) :-D
Guthrie issues shelter-in-place order, requires residents to wear face masks in public
but not to wear actual masks. Only homemade cloths.
My mask would read “F*** You Guthrie City Council!”
Cuomo, when speaking yesterday about people not locking themselves in their homes “You don’t have that right”.
I posted the ordinance for wearing a facemask while committing a crime, they get you on non-compliance of some new ordinance, then because you wore a mask, you can be subject to more punishment, at least a year in prison.

"Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended getting a haircut over the weekend even though barbers and stylists were shut down under the state’s stay-at-home order, saying she’s the face of the city and the woman who cut her hair wore a mask."
This past Sunday, when the rest of the city was adhering to this hypocrite's diktats:
Nice one!
