This directive from Biden today was pretty much more extreme than anything Obama tried (DACA is arguable but that doesn't affect private landlords*really). His CDC is threatening private property owners with prison. It's off the wall insane.
It will get struck down but it's entirely beside the point. The point is they tested and tried it. Journalists told him to do it. His admin followed them, ignoring a SCOTUS ruling. His party that controls congress deferred to it.
This is pretty much the first in what's going to come of our media telling Democrats and a Democrat president to simply ignore SCOTUS rulings. It happens just like this. Not with a bent, but with a confused old man and Werthers.
Also Bill Kristol's website endorsed Mandel. We're like on several meta levels about "yes how did we get here." It's a miracle.
Reminder that these are the people who constantly lecture what the GOP should be while ignoring their own role in what it has become. Sykes, Swift, Kristol.. It's all about distracting MSNBC long enough so they don't turn and look at their own role in Donald Trump.
Trump should just literally campaign in 2024 in the hot dog costume. Probably wins 39 states.
You guys can cut this lunatic loose and move forward with a Ron DeSantis or the next 2-4 years are going to be a 2020 grievance tour of the last election. It really is that simple.
He's a true believer in this kind of research. He has years invested in it. He has spent years talking, writing and promoting it and writing off the risks and that's scary shit. Once you look at it that way, his current defensiveness is clear & understand what he stands to lose.
This piece in @thenation (Yes, The Nation) is so clarifying on this. This isn't about left or right. 4 million people are dead likely because of this research. That's why he deflects and distracts. It's his life's work and funding. thenation.com/article/societ…
The biggest thing shielding him is how the national media has deified him. They will not press him on any of this because even they know where this possibly goes.
"The very suggestion of free speech is now deadly." said the journalist.
See how this happened. It took less than 24 hours for a so called journalist to accuse @mkhammer of killing people, which this White House someone should be banned from social media for.
"President Trump missed his July 4th goal on vaccination rates. He's blaming Facebook and social media instead."
"The President's Press Secretary Kayleigh Mceneny said in response to questions about the administrations failures to get people vaccinated, that they would be targeting Facebook post and 'fake news'.
"However the administration refused to answer questions on why Vice President Pence said he would not trust the vaccine while campaigning last year. Also the President continued to wear a mask after being vaccinated, which no doubt raised doubts in the efficacy of the vaccines"
