  1. Self-centered people tend to ignore the needs of others and only do what’s best for them. So, let’s do as John F. Kennedy said “ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

    1. It’s no wonder that it’s mostly those on the political right who are complaining about masks. They’re the same people who keep fear-mongering about socialism. Some things are better off handled by the government, the collective, and some things better left to the free market and the individual. They have a fundamental misunderstanding about the need to balance the two.

    2. Uh, you do know JFK was assassinated in Texas, right? Just pointing out a fact….I support wearing masks 100%.

    3. YOU NEED TO STOP BEING A VAMPIRE OFF OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES TO LIVE AND LEARN TO WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER YOU PICK YOUR NOSE. NOSE PICKER

    4. @Porter MaxwellThe New World Order is already here. Reckonings are happening all around us. Diseases are spreading, weather is more advanced, however progression and equality is slowing coming together.

      The best is yet to come!

    1. Hereturbie Maybe it will teach them something after going through rehab. But I will certainly enjoy the shortage of tissues.

    2. The house has not completely burned down but the question is if Texas has the wisdom and strength to enforce its own rules. There are too many people kicking and screaming about this mandate. Enforcement is extremely necessary, not just in Texas but in all states….

  2. I live in San Antonio. My Governor is a freaking idiot who doesn’t believe in science. And My President is worse. Jeez.

    1. @David H: I bet you support Beta, don’t you? I also suspect you are a wearer of skinny jeans and mandals and that you prance around. Science? You sound like a cultist. Science is nothing but THEORIES. How’s that Pluto-is-a-planet thingie workin’ out for ya?

    2. Greg Abbott is that scumbag lawyer who represented the big pharma company against the woman who was brutally raped by one of their employees.

    3. Ol’ Black Joe Biden 👈 Triggered commie Brad Parscale’s paid magat troll exposed 💩😬💩

  3. So suddenly science is a real thing. This should have been done way earlier. He let a woman get out of jail free over this. Blood is on his hands.

    1. @Boni Maldonado
      Not everybody who disagrees with you is getting paid to do so. I get my science from scientists, not politicians or journalists.

    2. @Dan you do have to have it to spread right. Or maybe you know of another way. Masks help to keep from spreading it but very little to prevent from getting a virus. I’ve had sex with over a dozen women since this started and still don’t even know someone with Covid19.

    3. Ray Sosa I fucking hope not haha. But you are most likely right. Even though he downplayed this from the beginning. However, his cult won’t care.

    1. Well, ya see, the thing about Texas is BOTH sides are well armed. These anti-mask fools need to sit down and shut up.

  4. 12 weeks too late unfortunately. Trump, killer of many thousands of Americans needlessly, take note.

    1. The only leader doing actual killing was New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. I mean, aside from Dictator Xi in China.

    2. NO . THEY DIED BECAUSE THEY COULDN’T BEAT IT OR CAN’T STOP TOUCHING THEIR FACE AND DON’T WASH THEIR HANDS AND WENT OUT .SORRY.

    3. @parallax Who encouraged them to go out? Who doesn’t wear a mask himself? Who overrides the experts? Who promoted bleach, etc etc etc. You need to join the real world not Trump’s fantasy world. Failure to do so could be fatal for you.

  5. Yes it’s a RESPIRATORY disease, and it’s fatal for people my age. I’m not ready to go yet!

    1. @Glory to God yes, unfortunately not enough people know this fact! They get all their information from their television

    2. @Jock Young I have been pushed to far .I will now go in deliberate resistance. Get America back at any cost .go out on the 4th with out a mask in defiance. I will never give another Inch.

    3. @Jock Young look out for what more lies I’m done get our country back at any cost .I will now deliberately define any thing they say .this will go on for the rest of your life if you let I’m mad as hell and won’t give up. till will get our country back.

  6. When governor’s like Greg Abbott open the state of Texas like he did just to please Donald Trump he needs to be voted out

    1. @teek75iftyso it hasn’t been thousands its been over a hundred thousand but again you Republicans think of nobody but yourself not surprised

    2. @SuperGlide Fletch! If you vote for Donald Trump you’re right you’re not bowing down your bending over

    3. To be fair…
      Reopening once the virus had curbed and cases went down…is fine.

      The economy matters in that reguard.
      The problem is…
      Abbott reopened while Texas was still having cases rise.
      He also didn’t set health mandates (Masks, Gloves, etc) which can cause a relapse.

      Hence the current situation.

    4. SuperGlide Fletch! 😆 heading towards the pandemic cliff and an economy in shambles …. your candidate negotiating the lives of brave soldiers. Dissonance is disconnected touch stone and hope we come back a semblance of what we use to be

    1. It’s amazing how fauci’s hidden recording didn’t make it to msm yet . He said we need a swine flu come back to help shut down the economy. Covid is another flu and look at the deaths that were moved from the yearly flu to covid and now only 5 thousand flu deaths wow last year it was 120.000

    2. The US is already locked out of the world, while Europe and Asia are slowly starting to open up. The US passport is now useless.

  7. The problem with america is that most people have no sense of responsibility. It’s always about me, my freedom, my convenience, my wants.

    1. @revelations6:8 and I looked and behold When did God give you the power to judge other people, or control other people’s bodies? God performs abortions himself, called miscarriages, have you taken it up with Him, explained how He was wrong and evil to do this, because you say so? How about you keep your nose out of women’s bodies and you let God sort it out, you think you can do that?

    2. THE STRANGEST THING IN YOUR COUNTRY IS YOU SEEMS TO HATE YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT ? FIX THIS PROBLEM AND BECOME THE UNITED STATES AGAIN !

    3. @Fred Williamson So you just going to promise not to infect others, Fred? Because your body can infect my body, or someone in my family. Last i heard, abortions weren’t contagious and deadly, possibly leading to a nice case of bankruptcy as a bonus. So, is that the best you can come up with, cause if so i will hand this over to my 6 year old who doesn’t get bored so easily.

  8. BREAKING FOX NEWS: Texas has updated the face mask order clarifying that the model of mask that Hannibal Lector used is NOT A VIABLE OPTION… SMH!

    1. So the police will probably let murderers and rapeist out to make room for people who want to by food and refuse to wear masks

    2. PAPER BAG OVER YOUR HEAD AND PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AMERICA. THEY ARE GOING FURTHER IN CALIFORNIA THEY ARE ORDERED TO PUT THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND

    1. There was no masks for doctors and nurses initially. That’s Dr. Fauci said not to wear masks. Now, the supply is good enough for everyone to wear.

    2. @Jeffrey Loveless 👈 Triggered commie Brad Parscale’s paid magat troll spreading lies and propaganda exposed 💩😬💩

    3. @NJG26 Gustav 👈 Triggered commie Brad Parscale’s paid magat troll spreading lies and propaganda exposed 💩😬💩

    4. @Alfred Garrett 👈 Triggered commie Brad Parscale’s paid magat troll spreading lies and propaganda exposed 💩😬💩

    5. @Jeffrey Loveless You mean back when our hospital staff needed it and it was in short supply because we weren’t prepared? Lol, i feel like i am dueling with an unarmed man. Have you got any smarter friends that can help you out?

  9. But what about the lt governor telling people to sacrifice themselves on the alter of capitalism? That not popular among Texans anymore?

    1. Nope. That was only popular among greedy idiots under the guise of “you can’t destroy small business”. That’s interpreted in reality as the people complaining didn’t have as much money in the bank as they would lead you to believe. These same people were just worried about keeping up their fascade. But when businesses started going out of business they couldn’t pretend they were rich anymore.

  10. After fighting counties like Dallas county saying their mask requirements were unlawful in May, his ignorance has borne rotten fruit.

  11. its like these republican leaders are on a 5 month delay. this is why i always do my car checkups on time, dont want it failing like them.

    1. PHASE TWO WAS : “OK YOU COME OUT NOW STUPID”. PHASE 3 IS : PHASE 2 WAS WRONG GO BACK INSIDE STUPID.”

  12. Talk about playing Russian roulette with people’s lives. They played the denial game before March then the played it again. There will be many more deaths in the weeks coming up.

    1. @Sunday White Rabbit
      I’m actually curious how anybody could wall themselves off from reality enough to think there is “no virus.” What are your sources?

  13. red states are competing to see who can out-stupid each other.

    too many morons; not enough lions, tigers, and bears.

    1. @Scott Zundel You do understand how Pandemics work, right buddy? You are just getting started, let’s hope you finally take it seriously now that it is affecting those you know.

    1. Um—yes because this is a hoax and only a problem for filthy democrats that live in New York. Nothing to worry about. Get your haircut and be happy they said ?

    2. Nurse Blacke so fellow Americans that are dying, are filthy because you don’t agree with their views? You are going to have a hard life with that mentality. Good luck👍

  14. *TEXAS SHOULD NOT GET CREDIT FOR THIS*
    Governor didnt care about the people to begin with, this reversal shows he made a bad decision
