Psaki ducks question on Biden claim Trump responsible for 'many' COVID-19 deaths as toll keeps...

old saying, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink , leave me alone and I'll get the shot in my own good time. I have had the 3 shots but did it on my own

People need to remember we always get what we vote for.

SFC (Join to see) - I did not vote that way

Oh no I am losing points! lol SSgt Joseph Baptist

That one statement is so untrue, most African Americans are democrats, most African Americans are not vaccinated, I am vaccinated but I support everyone's right to make that decision for themselves.

It is true if we take the approach of look infected at the whole population of democrats. SSG (Join to see)

MAJ Ken Landgren - ??????????????????????????

PFC David Foster are you kidding? He and his admin emphtically stated they followed Trump’s plan when “taking responsibility” for Afghanistan. He also sat on his hands as tens of thousands of people crossed the border, attempted to push back on the remain in Mexico policy, continued to use children separation policies while putting them in fenced facilities, and then said “my bad”. But what has he done about it? Well, he’s about to enforce the policy the SCOTUS ordered him to follow. How would I frame these acceptances of responsibility?

“Yeah I made the decision, but only because the other guy made me”
And
“Yeah I berated the last guys for doing things I didn’t like and I attempted to reverse it all until the SCOTUS told me I couldn’t.”

Sounds more like sorry, not sorry.

MAJ Ken Landgren - "They are dangerous" has never been the GOP position. It was however a Democrat position not to trust a vaccine facilitated during the Trump Admin. I literally listened to a Doctor friend of mine tell me she would never take a vaccine facilitated by the Trump admin. That it would be too rushed and not tested sufficiently. Since Biden became President, her position has taken a 180 and she's become a huge proponent for it. Can you say mixed messages? This is not the only example I've seen, just a personal one I experienced. Switcheroo my ass. The GOP's stated position is against government mandates and to allow all information to be considered before simply dismissing it. The Democrats used to agree with the no government mandates until they were against them (THAT was a switcheroo).

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - You don't know what you are talking about. Many republicans state they don't know the ill effects of the vaccine.

I don't know what I'm talking about? You're the one making claims you cannot cite and I'm just challenging them. Cite your metrics. If you turn on virtually any GOP pundit media or talk show and/or listen to any of the prominent GOP leaders, they are all pretty consistent in stating, get the vaccine, but confer with your doctor first if you have questions or concerns. They go on support those who have religious objections and medical concerns vs the blanket policy being pushed by the Biden Admin. We are still learning about residual ill effects from the vaccines and for some people with certain conditions, this is important. Rather than villainize them, endeavor to gather more information, be more transparent, and for God's sake, take the politics out of it.

When People like Pelosi, Biden, and Harris each sewed seeds of doubt prior to the election, claiming we should not trust the President as he pushed to enable the organizations in this country to research, test, approve, and produce the vaccine and get it to the American people, they politicized this. They also went on to deny they would ever support government mandates... Until they did:

Biden: As president-elect, Joe Biden said in a December 2020 press conference in Delaware that "I don't think it should be mandatory," when talking about coronavirus vaccines. "I wouldn't demand it to be mandatory," he promised. "Just like I don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide."

Pelosi in April 2021: 'We Cannot Require Someone to be Vaccinated. That's Just Not What We Can Do'

Personally, I think they should have stuck with those initial positions and framed the whole issue by noting there are multiple ways to approach this issue. First, by allowing states to manage their situations (without villainizing them) while offering Federal assistance when called upon.
