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

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

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

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...

No one is listening Mollie except for your own tribe. That is the radius of your impact.

Well, maybe it's the tribe to be in. Truckers just went into a national "slow drive".

Don't know if enough are participating to make it interesting, but I hope you have enough toilet paper stocked up.

Fair enough.

Now dispute what she said.

Is what Biden proposes an abuse of power? Was the Ukraine phone call an abuse of power?

[Mik]

It's an empty threat. The infrastructure to enforce this does not exist. If you read, even for the federal employees there will be an HR process that will take several steps to actually take any action. Contractor companies will do it on an honor system (nod, wink, wink)

For me there is a public health crisis. It used to be that everyone fell in line.

Public health trumps all in my view. Period.

It isolates the nay sayers further. It’s very effective and states what is happening. If anything the ding on Biden is that he is leading from behind. He just ordained an already done deal.
