Come on man.
We all know Xiden is not in the White House. So it's seems plausible the weather you saw is from somewhere else, maybe at the fake White House.
We also know the press only wear masks in front of the camera, only for optics. So that moment they were rushing and forgot about it.
Why no statement from the White House that everything is okay?
I don't ever want to retire. Just want to do a different kind of work soon.
Yes, all of my friends and I have done that. My first job ran me off for being too old (USN). Second job in DoD contractor world was cool until I got enough ducats in my stack. Now I do only what I want.
I'm enjoying retirement. Many years engineering after the Nam. Now I can walk out the back door and shoot cans or trespassers or whatever, do my garden, all that stuff I had to designate time for previously. I'm old now, so I don't hump any more, just get into ghillie and sneak around freaking people out.
The most fun is antagonizing liberals wherever I find them.
