And I wouldn't care if it had exhalation valves, given that nobody else will wear masks anyway.

Who am I kidding? I wouldn't be in that environment no matter what.

Edit:
Something like the Sundstrom SR-100 half-mask, with filtration 10 times better than the NIOSH N100 rating.
There's also a disposable head covering for it, with the exhalation valves behind it for the people most conscientious about their own exhaled breath. (And it obviously guards the eyes and other parts of the face too.)

I think it will be a large group. It makes me nuts that I can't go with them, but my health won't allow it. That rally isn't going to look like others he has had. Lots of hateful people in that town and a very messed up police department, but there are also a lot of good people in this state who plan to make him aware that he is not safe from dissent ANYWHERE!

Tulsa is much more liberal than the rural areas but there is no shortage of rednecks.

There was a Black man killed up there by a "volunteer" deputy a few years ago. The episode a few days ago. There is no liberal town in Oklahoma, the larger towns and cities have more liberals, but they can still be frightening.

They are really setting this up to attract the worse of the worse among his KKK/NAZI/White Supremacist/Terrorist supporters (Juneteenth, Tulsa, following weeks of BLM nationwide protests).

I hope those on the outside will be very careful and not ONLY from the standpoint of COVID-19.

They can get all infected, meanwhile we will keep distancing and wearing masks.

The location of a white riot and looting to mass murder black people sounds Reaganesque. But having it on Emancipation day is extra Trumpian.

They will crowd in close together and won't wear socialist masks because they woke up in a free country. Breathe Deep!

LASER POINTERS!!!

Just one would do, but imagine if as soon as he stepped out on stage he was suddenly lit up by 10 to 20 red laser dots...

Hilarity would endue.



We would get your bail together, but it isn't dangerous, so probably wouldn't go anywhere. You could become famous, AND get the idea out there.

We could make it where he would NEVER go outside.

You need to mention that it's a not very subtle attack on African Americans to hold the first rally in months in Tulsa on Juneteenth.

You need to tell them not wearing a mask will put other attendees at risk, and that they have a societal responsibility to protect their fellows.

That ought to hit enough buttons to convince them that going to the site of one of the worst racially motivated killings in American history on June 13th and not wearing a mask will own the libs.

The white wing’s very existence is owning the libs. Most of their shit of owning has little effect on us. But, our owning the MAGS just hit nuclear level damage to them with the NASCAR confederate flag ban. And the ownership of MAGS is just getting started with elimination of confederate trophy’s nationwide. Winning, so much winning, and I am NOT even getting tired of winning the “ownership” thing. America may really get “great” finally “because of trump” and his racist minions, when we sweep them back under the rotting logs. AmuriKKKa getting great again.......not so certain.

To Trump supporters: I will feel so owned if you do these things. My liberal tears will be beautiful and will be the biggest cry I ever have had. Making the biggest in the world. Other libs will be jealous of your power. And that’s because of you, MAGA. The fake media with polls showing Trump losing will be forced to honor the flag by grabbing it and caressing it. Epstein will be so happy looking down on your beautiful love for one another. Make it a great day for America.

politician, everywhere, needs to be pleading with constituents every day to wear masks.

Do people realize how horrible this is that 100k more people will die. So absurd that we have become immune to that horror.
