    They have backed away from the mandate that businesses employing 100 people or more must force their employees to have the vaccine. I guess they didn't really have a choice since the Supreme Court said they didn't have the authority to do that.

    I don't recall President Trump ever calling a reporter sonabitch. At least, not publicly. He probably called them worse that that privately. And justifiably so. :D

    I'm glad he lost it like that, maybe more people will see just how inept he is, I seem to recall him blowing up a few times during his campaign, calling people outside to settle this man to man stuff, LOL! Now that's what I call Presidential:p The poorest excuse for a President I've seen in my time on this dirt-clod hurtling through spaceo_O

    The media is covering for him, even though it was another press conference where everyone in the room got bum's-rushed out as soon as Biden's handlers decided things were over. This is USSR-quality stuff, brought to you by the Demokrats.

    he said it, we damn, well know it. One thing the dems got right though, "things are over", and much sooner than they think is my guess ;)

    This is exactly right, and the more he does this kind of thing, the more people who supported him and hated President Trump, are waking up to how bad he actually is, and that he (and his handlers) are trying to take this country down.
    Juan O’Savin says we need at least 85% of the people in America to wake up before we can take our government and our country back. As much as we hate watching this happen, sometime this is what it takes before people will open their eyes and actually see the truth.

    Many years ago, when my first husband was doing drugs and refused to quit (he maintained they helped him), his counselor told me that sometimes you have to let a person go until they “ride that horse to death” and realize it was not what they think it is.

    I believe that our country is going through the same kind of awakening.
    Even if they proved the fraudulent election right now, there are still a lot of people who believe that Biden actually won fairly; so they can’t present that until enough people have stopped believing this lie without causing riots and other disruptions with the liberals.

    Especially since he can just manage walking to his chopper or AF1. He is leaning forward so far I am patiently waiting for him to fall face first down the ramp of AF1, too bad it was going up when he fell three times. Seriously..

    I read an article where Doocy claimed he didn't even hear Biden say it...that another reporter told him as they were all being rushed out.

    Talk to the average democrat about how Biden's doing and they're likely to tell you he's doing the best that can be done under the circumstances, They are also likely to say (and perhaps believe) Trump caused this mess. I chalk this up to some combination of (1) a lifetime habit of voting democrat, (2) cognitive dissonance, (3) a visceral hatred of Trump and (4) poor critical thinking skills/ability.

    I saw Petert on Fox the night this happened and he said he had not heard the remark. he also said he talked to Biden later and Biden ensured him that it wasn't personal???

    You are not incorrect about what a liberal is apt to say when you ask them how Biden is doing. However, I disagree with your reasons why they do this.
    People have been brainwashed by television ever since it was first available with mass production. There are Readers Digest articles available from the early 1950’s that talk about subliminal messages in Television commercials (and even in movies), and that they should be made illegal.
    Now, they still exist, but not just to tell you to buy more dish soap or popcorn. Subliminal indoctrination is used along with regular indoctrination in the information disseminated from the mainstream media, and many people who already vote democrat simply listen and believe what they are told.

    As time goes by, and Biden does more things that are bad for the United States and everyone living here, more and more people are starting to question the narrative that they have fallen for , and to think for themselves. As a nation, we are waking up, albeit slowly, and some people will never be able to wake up and think for themselves, similar to the Matrix movie.

    All I can say is that the reasons I gave were based on hypotheses I've personally tested while out and about in some limited areas that went heavily (i.e., 75% and up) for Biden over Trump. A key factor in their lifetime habit of voting democrat seems to be the well-promulgated idea (brainwashing, if you want to call it that) that the dems support the "working man". Despite the fact that liberal policies have sent much of our industry packing, increased socialization overtly promotes that idea while covertly killing it. .Secondly, I will have to argue that susceptibility to subliminal and other messaging results from an inability to understand and think critically about what you are seeing and hearing. Some of us were taught about the power of inculcation while others weren't. You could blame parenting and schooling for that. Also, the visceral dislike of Trump among women, moderate pubbies, dems and never-Trumpers should not be underestimated. Finally, I think it has been proven that the average Biden voter is highly susceptible to manufactured distractions (e.g., "Russia, Russia", covid, the "Epstein and Ghislaine", Jan 8, Ukraine, etc. etc.) whose "crisis content" is sufficient to help keep a party in power.

    I was gonna say: At some point, people who deny that a favored politician "...would ever do such a thing" and then upon learning that the politician actually DID that thing say "Well, I'm sure they had a good reason" must lose their right to vote.

    But now I'll say: Give us our Republic back. Get the Fed back to its enumerated powers. Then the damage caused by suck idiots shall be contained, just as our system was designed to do.

    Of course, we'll never get our republic back. There is no way to get rid of agencies that have no business existing; heck, we cannot even halt taxpayer funding of PBS, whose Net Worth is over $1,000,000,000 (one $Billion.)

    I have never understood the Democrat "bloc voting", i.e., Jews heavily voting for Dems despite a profound and persistent anti-Israel tendency, and Blacks continuing to vote for Democrats despite the fact that Democrat policies have destroyed the Black family, and continue to decimate their communities and job base. Southerners always voted Democratic until Reagan switched many of them by letting them know that their votes were what kept the Liberals from the Northeast in power and that the Dems stood for everything they were against. Southerners voted against Republicans because Lincoln was a Republican and freed the slaves, destroying State's Rights and their society, as well as their society during reconstruction. Blacks vote for Democrats for...I don't know why. They (Dems) used the filibuster to fight integration and voting rights, and the Republicans were founded as an "anti-slavery" and Abolitionist party, but have minorities have been persuaded that the GOP is racist, when the evidence shows the opposite. Women tend to vote for Democrats, as they are portrayed as "caring" more than the other party. I tend to believe that lack of critical thinking skills is the principal reason behind it all.

    I realized in the 1980s that Dems expect their voters to be stupid and believe whatever they are told regardless of the fact that the evidence shows other wise. Perhaps more people are waking up to the fact that losing the country because you don't like "tweets" is a bad trade-off.

    Certainly part of the issue is our corrupt media. Republicans are "waging war on women" because they don't think the Fed should pay the $8/month for birth control, and the populous does not understand the difference between E.D. being a malady and birth control not. The sexual crap Democrats do to women is unspeakable, yet "must necessarily be believed" is a one-way street that you will never see get called out in the press.

    Then there's this "I could never be a [Republican/Democrat]," as though one's identity is so defined, and (again) the corrupt media plays a large role in this. There have already been Democrat House members floating the lie that Jim Crow was the creation of Republicans! The ignorant masses will believe it, and who's gonna correct it?

    Speaking of the corrupt media, they throw parades when a female or non-white guy is handed any position in the Leftist ranks. Virginia just elected our first black female Lt. Governor, but because she has an (R) by her name, they have called her a "black mouth moving that spouts white supremacist lies." In response, she showed the college yearbook picture of our sitting Democrat governor in blackface standing next to a guy in a Klan robe...and he remained in office because the media chose to not beat that particular drum. Yet Republicans are the racists.

    Regarding Jews...I asked the question of a Jewish man on a forum. This was in March 2019.
    Here is what he told me:

    **************************************************************************​
    I’m Jewish, and I could confidently say that most (approx 75%) of my Jewish friends and family vote straight party line for Democrats. I’ve been imploring them to listen to reason for over forty years to no avail. Recently, some are seeing the light, but when it comes down to it I’m not sure how many will actually pull the lever for the GOP. I hope they will for their own sake because the anti-Semitic left is getting bolder, and growing day by day.

    Nobody knows what everyone in a group thinks, but generalizations based on empirical evidence, coupled with one’s own personal experiences and interactions do form the basis of one’s perception and opinions. Nothing wrong with that as long as you continue to be receptive to new and enlightening information.

    Judaism, particularly today, is as much an ethnicity as it is a religion. That is by definition. Similar to a naturalized citizen who cannot be President, a Jew by conversion does not have entirely the same status as a "natural born" Jew.

    I have many insights - it's a complex question.

    [I asked "Are they really voting against Republicans and not necessarily for Democrats?"]

    There is a lot of truth to that. The notion that I was raised with was that the republican WASPS were anti-Semitic - and there is/was some truth to that - and so Jews should never vote for republicans. That's become part of the culture. (My Dad was a hard core democrat - 'old school liberal'. We fought tooth and nail about politics because I have been a conservative forever - only one in the whole family. Today Dad would probably be off the Democrat reservation, but he died years ago.)

    If you're a black guy you can probably relate to that - I think many blacks vote reflexively democrat for similar reasons.

    There is lot more to it as well. For example, most Jews came into the US through NYC and worked in the sweatshops, etc. The democrats controlled politics there together with the unions, and if you were poor and working in a sweatshop, that's the side you wanted to be on. Again it has become part of the culture.

    There is more...

    **************************************************************************​
    I found that last part about legacy allegiance to dems via the sweatshop union connection to be interesting.
