Wow.

I hope this brings @Loki back...

Loki made an exit? I must have missed it.

Another thing.

(disclaimer, I'm NOT anti-vaccine)

By what authority does he mandate employers to implement this policy. This mandate will spend months and months in court.

And he's going to lose.

But it will cause a tremendous amount of problems for a lot of people in the meantime.

Of course. Never underestimate Joe's ability to fuck things up.

[LuFins Dad]

He betrays and abandons Americans, NATO allies, and our Afghan Allies… He excuses away the Americans left behind because they have dual citizenships… He praises actual terrorists and threatens 80,000,000 of his fellow citizens less than three days after the CDC gave very encouraging news, two days after we got great news about the effectiveness of natural immunity, and after a month of significant improvements in vaccination numbers.

This guy is a disaster.

Today was all about approval ratings and moving the focus off Afghanistan.

He .. threatens 80,000,000 of his fellow citizens ...

Kindly elaborate on how he "threatened 80,000,000 of his fellow citizens." Thanks.

Yep.

He’s hoping if the anti vax crowd starts screaming about this it changes the subject to something where more will support him. I have to say it was probably the most skillful move his team has made yet.

I’m still trying to figure out what the win is to fight.

[Mik]

He wins if the needle moves off of Afghanistan.

I meant the anti crowd, they gave him an opening. The polling will be a good indicator of US sentiment.

[Mik]

Oh, they certainly did position themselves to be the enemy.

[jon-nyc]

Maybe he’s just baiting the GOP to go full anti-vax so they’ll get crushed in the suburbs

[LuFins Dad]

More likely they want to incite an event like January 6th.

[Jolly]

Well, they fenced the Capitol off today.

And according to this guy...
