China Joe will never own us all

That would have been the day the republicans started warning us against big government and the democrats started demanding loyalty to big government. We are in the twilight zone.

i would just like to say that you are 100% correct and the the republicans truly need to drive this country into the success that it once had

The thing where federal agents were picking up people at BLM protests without visible identification, holding them and letting them go without charges so that there was no record of the arrest was crazy, and I couldn't find a conservative who had an issue with it.

Is it a judgement call, are we all hypocrites, or is it a mix?

Personally, I think there are multiple principles in play. I believe in body autonomy and don't like vaccine mandates. But I also don't like the global supply chain in shambles and the continuing cost in life and to the economy. I'd also be a lot more receptive to the push back against vaccines if people were consistent about it and didn't rely on blatantly fake info.

Seriously, just say you aren't going to get the vaccine on principle and leave it at that. You don't have to justify it with fake numbers of people dying from the vaccine or conspiracy theories that seem to believe we have technology about 100 years ahead of what we actually have to make vaccines that are secretly...I'm not even sure what. I have seen theories about microchips, modifying our DNA, and even saw one guy post that "each vaccine contains DNA from the cloned anti-Christ and any Christian who gets it will be barred from heaven." My point there is you do yourself no favors by allying with the crazy. You just end up being grouped with them.

I agree with your conclusion statement.
You should be firmly against bLM, CRT and AuntTeefa.

BLM as a movement is not responsible for rioters unless they pre-planned the riot. Or should I also oppose the full Republican part because of Jan 6?

CRT - nobody I've ever heard argue against it has any clue what it is. In fact one video I got sent was a black guy speaking against CRT and at the end said "instead of getting angry at the white people around me for having more than me, I realized it wasn't their fault. They didn't set this up, they were just kids like me"...which is exactly what CRT would have told him, which was pretty amusing.

ANTIFA - any group with 'by any means necessary' in their mission statement are to be worried about. But people pretending they are some organized group never bothered to read up on who they are. They are pretty much anarchists and have no trust for any government. The level of organization and planning that some have attributed to Antifa is laughable.

You can defend them and/or claim they aren't real all you like.
When bLM chants about killing police and frying them like bacon at their rallies... people are going to believe that's who they are.
AuntTeefa certainly seems real and organized when they show up in the hundreds to kick old ladies and journalists and set things on fire.
They think they are real and the attempted radical racial and sexual 're-education' going on across the country right now is real too. Look at Loudon County, VA for example.
It appears the lines are drawn and most have chosen a side.
I'm still trying to use reason and objectivity, but I would probably have better luck teaching a hippopotamus to tap dance.
C'est la Vie.

Chants at rally's - like "hang mike pence?"

A person at a rally was chanting about killing cops. One time. But any excuse to dismiss a whole group involved in the biggest civil rights protests to ever happen. They must be making it up.

ANTIFA are a disorganized group and the head of the FBI made it clear that they are more of an idea than an organization. I know they got hated on for saying that, but it is historically true. That doesn't mean they don't form cells, and those cells don't sometimes collaborate, but it does make the FBI's job harder because there is no central leadership. The FBI has to understand how they are and aren't organized in order to infiltrate or track them. There is no gatekeeper. Nobody can say you are or aren't a member of ANTIFA. If you say you are, you are. Such groups can do a lot of damage but they have never shown any signs of centralized leadership. I'm truly not defending them, but you can't fight an enemy you don't understand or track someone if you misunderstand their methods. All the things you describe can be done without centralized organization.

What specifically do you want me to look at in Loudon County? At a glance, a sexual assault accusation that is being investigated.

Reason and objectivity. I'm not seeing a lot of that TBH.

"One time."
If you can't be honest, we can't converse.
I thought it was worth a shot.

Well prove me wrong. To my knowledge it was used at a march in St Paul. I have never heard it used elsewhere or other times. But I don't know what I don't know. Educate me.

Come on. Don't do that sour grapes thing. Show me I'm wrong or man up and admit you were wrong. It's a basic tenant of polite discourse.

For the sake of conversation, why don't you tell me what CRT is, since you say nobody knows.
A lot of people have read their materials and summarized pretty succinctly, but I'd like to let you to clear it up.
Educate me, please.

It is a practice of looking at how racist ideas in the past made their way into laws and unofficial practices and continued to propagate and impact POC. The fact that these laws and the disadvantages they caused still exist can lead to someone 'just doing their job' unintentionally continuing a racist practice (that's one example). Honestly, most critiques of CRT expand its role and see it as being far more than it is.

Not if the vax was FDA approved or at least recommend by doctors.

When you can't obey the constitution, you must subvert it other ways. Democrats have figured out how to bypass the Constitution and silence people (social media bans) and now have figured out how to control us through coercion by our own employers by using OSHA guidance. They have essentially admitted it as being the "ultimate workaround" ever when it comes to stealing people's liberties.

If an existing law or policy allows us to do something without passing a whole new law, then you don't pass a new law.

As far as overreach, Trump passed executive orders to delay and grant exemptions to the ACA, which was and is the law.

Or when Trump wanted money to build the wall and he moved money around within the military budget and declared a state of emergency?

Stealing their liberties to do what exactly? How does the government benefit from forcing people to obey mandates and ordinance? How does this jeopardize liberty? Are you implying a slippery slope policy? Or are you arguing for individual irresponsibility?

mandates are not laws, and are unconstitutional. this gonna get good/bad.

Mandates are laws and constitutional.

Please provide evidence of your claim.

Vaccine mandates are legal. It has already been challenged at the SCOTUS, and the safety of all, override the freedoms of one. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Are you vaccinated? If you are then me not getting one isn't putting you at risk.

Are you against pre-employmwnt drug testing for pilots, teachers, amd hospital staff?

Vaccinations and drug testing aren't the same thing. Nice try though.

How's that? Did they develop a 100% effective covid vaccine?

I don't know, why don't you ask Joe Biden about that? He told everyone if you get the vaccine you won't get sick from covid or have to go to the hospital. That was a lie.

If you get the shot your chances of getting it bad is next to never so what are you worried about? You won't get it from me since I already had the virus.

Don't need to ask him. I knew even the best covid vaccines weren't 100% effective from the beginning.

I don't care what my survival chances are , I don't want it and I don't want to spread it to others, so I do what I can for myself healthwise AND with the vaccines.. And I hope others will do the same. But unfortunately my own neighbors are among the "I refuse to get vaxxed" camp and they're probably high risk..... As much as I think they're blockheads, I don't want them to possibly die or be hospitalized from me accidentally spreading it to them.

:0)

The whole thing is a total mess right now. I don't know who is what, which side and what not. But here's some unbiased reality and truth.

No one should force anyone to take the vaccine -- mandate, law, order, whatever, all the same.

That being said, people who preach freedom and choice should not go around politicalizing the vaccine as some government conspiracy and then mock everyone who took the vaccine as guinea pigs or implying taking the vaccine means supporting Biden.

Keep your political hate, right or left, to yourself. Let everyone else decide on their own what they want to do about the vaccine.

The rest is for the states.

and now they take credit for the vaccine I haven't taken.

I agree with this one. I am fully vaxxed - didn't turn into a mutant. Hell, Ben Shapiro is fully vaxxed.

Biden is hardly a savior.

He just isn’t dictator like Trump wanted to be.

Hopefully Republicans can find a candidate who is more experienced and less of an embarrassment.

I’ll vote for that Republican in a heartbeat over dementia Joe.

Biden: "there are things you can't do by Executive order, unless you're a dictator."
Also Biden: signs 60-some executive orders to undo Trump items. Still signing them 8 months later to get what he wants.

And now he’s going to reinstate Trump’s policy that refugee applicants must remain in Mexico while their application is processed. It only took a million or so illegal border crossings for the Biden administration to figure out that Trump’s policy was practical, not racist.

Yes!!! Lmao

A plethora of executive orders do not equal legislating by executive order. Most of them were 180 reversal of policy changes. No laws have been made by Joe Biden by executive order.

Dude he’s a republican, note his template, he’s making fun of her. He’s anti slow joe

You might want to read my entire comment.

Both Trump and Biden suck.

Trump is still better than a pedophile

Trump is an incestuous pedophile.

Heck if Trump had made universal healthcare the left probably would've opposed it.
