the stores all have masked required signs for unvaccinated people and strongly suggested for vaccinated...most people heed the signs unless their name is Lets Go Brandon....so the people you see walking around a store maskless are most likely vaccinated and just as likely to be carrying around covid as anyone else at this point which means they are the most likely people in the store to be spreading covid...those are the people we need to shame and shun from society...the vax-arrogant

It applies to any employer who wish’s to make it apply

Now conservatives support guaranteed employment.. I thought socialism was bad?

they have no issues not serving gays under religious freedom thats accepted and encouraged

But can’t handle conditions of employment.., that’s outrageous

conservatives only support the freedoms they agree with vaccination mandates are no different their deemed bad by the talking heads so real Americans must fight this infringement!

They just attached freedom to all their arguments.. and the followers start crying

The law and order party who are refusing to testify before congressional committee
Hypocrites to their core

it’s also explicitly in the constitution, and it’s also something that your side goes berserk over, like the right goes berserk over this.

i don’t have any problem with a private employer issuing mandates. but i get why some are upset about it.

i forgot, only liberals have the right to protest that which they don’t like.

I read that the usual MAGA line is freedom this freedom that ..

Completely oblivious more marines and other Branches kick people out for failing drug tests then not getting vaccinated.. seems no weed mandates are acceptable. Because it’s a gateway drug…

Just look how many red states have approved recreational weed almost none. it’s a culture war topic for them , not a freedom argument

the fact that so many doctors oppose legalizing weed, can’t possibly have anything to do with it. Republicans aren’t capable of wanting to ever to the right thing.

when did i not believe doctors? please specify?

i’m vaccinated and boosted, and i’ve said 100 times i can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t get the vaccine.

can’t WAIT for your evidence that i routinely disagree with doctors. can’t wait.

i think Faucci is a clown. But i’m a huge, huge supporter of western medicine. You’re just lying now, fabricating up whatever you have to.

The issue Jim is why you disagree with Faucci.

Because you were told to!

And that’s the same reason over weed you were told about some doctors

red states are against recreational weed but many of those states have medical weed
So don’t blame doctors

when it’s the Republican legislators playing the morality police ..

Funny 99.9 percent of doctors recommended getting the vaccine plus boosters and masks

And 8 states ban vaccine mandates

And another 10 ban mask mandates anyplace and their red states

Most of the Anti vaccine are Republican leaders
And most of the unvaccinated lean conservatives.

Like I said shocking you believe the doctors

And conservatives have the nerve to Blame this Administration for them getting Covid … the lack of logic and critical thinking is amazing

so when i mock Faucci, that means i mick all of medicine? Faucci s medicine?

it’s hard to agree or disagree with him, because if he says something, before you can say “I agree with that”, he has flip flopped 180 degrees and is saying the opposite.

Faucci has opposed masks and shutdowns, then supported them, now sort of opposed them again. he wanted schools closed despite science saying there was no need, now he says schools need to be open and isolation is bad for
mental health.

he also denies the likelihood that the virus came from the wuhan lab, and lied through his teeth about indirectly finding research at that lab.

he’s a clown. Faucci isn’t always wrong ( as i said, i’m vaccinated), but he has no consistent principles.

So unless i admire every doctor you like, that means i am
anti-medicine. makes all kinds of sense wayne. it’s just bursting with common sense.

tell us again Jim you have no agenda ... you post nonsense after nonsense faux outrage after faux outrage ... a day or 2 after the right wing media tell you to be outraged AKA Fauci who was Trump's best till he didn't bend the knee

Then you get upset when your called out on your information .. and in classic form suggest other prove you wrong I just mostly respond , and occasionally post actual statements and actions from Trump and his followers and some in the GOP who are the clear and present danger to the United states of America

i never said i have no agenda. but unlike you, i have repeatedly criticized my side, and praised the other side, when it’s deserved. you never do either.

you call it faux outrage because you don’t like it. but you can’t tell us why it’s fake outrage, and repeatedly tell us it’s a “false equivalency.”. but never specify why it’s false.

you constantly criticize the right for doing the same things you give the left a free pass for.

trump undermines a free election? bad.

democrats undermine a free fair election ? not worth mentioning.

republicans don’t get vaccinated? bad.

blacks have low vaccination rates? not worth mentioning.

Trump says election was stolen? bad.

Stacey abrams says election was stolen? not worth mentioning, because she said it to Ted Cruz ( of course you never explained why it matters that she was responding to ted cruz).

republicans violently riot? bad.

liberals violently riot? no biggie.

liberal=good, conservative=bad, no exceptions, not ever. never.

Nope. I’m pretty sure it was Wayne who claimed he didn’t have an agenda. This is hysterical. Must be some really good drugs…..

It’s fun to watch these dummies claim you said, implied or signaled something that you never did and then go on an epic rant condemning you for something they made up. I guess that’s how it’s done these days with these people

when you know you can’t make a rational argument, it’s easier to convince yourself that the other side is saying something other than what they’re actually saying. that, and call everything that makes your side look bad, a “false equivalency.”.

Trump and Stacey Abrams, each made baseless crazy accusations that they lost because it was stolen.

is that going too fast for you? it’s clearly going to fast for wayne and spence.

wayne says it doesn’t matter that Abrams said it was stolen, because she made that comment to Ted Cruz. I keep asking wayne why it matters who she was speaking to, and for some reason he won’t answer. Was Cruz engaged in some crazy ventriloquism?

Are you admitting that Trump has made consistent baseless accusations that the election was stolen or reaffirming the party line?
Or does this have something to do with your misogynistic view of democratic women?

yes, i have said 10,000 times trump
made baseless claims that the election was stolen from him.

will you concede stacey abrams did the same thing? no you won’t.

i posted video of abrams saying “it was stolen.”. that’s not good enough. it means i’m sexist, even though i’m quoting exactly what she said on video.

why is it harmless when she does it?

One said "I acknowledge that former Secretary of State Brian Kemp will be certified as the victor in the 2018 gubernatorial election.”

The other and his cohorts organized this as part of a coordinated campaign: Peter Navarro tells RollingStone "there were over 100 congressmen — both the House of Representatives and senators — that were lined up to execute [my] plan" to overturn the 2020 election.

boy oh boy, was that some selective editing. she said, based on the rules as written, he won, it that those rules suppress the vote, and therefore the election was stolen from the citizens

you can’t be honest. abrams spoke at length, and yiu cherrybouck one benign sounding phrase not even the whole sentence, and try to use that to characterize her entire statement.

pete, she has said 100 times it was stolen. every one of us knows she says it and it still saying it. but you can’t admit what we all know happened.

you’re a good liberal parrot pete. but you are not to be taken seriously, it’s impossible to talk seriously with you when you willfully deny everything that makes your side look bad. that requires an awful lot of lying and denial, but we have seen you’re up to the task.

the left has basically become crazed religious zealots, trump is satan, their sacraments are covid shots, abortion and racial and sexual identity symbolism, they cite scripture from cnn and msnbc and pray to the great god fauci and other "experts" that lead the various causes that they identify with in order to give them a greater sense of superiority and self-worth... non-believers must be censored, impugned or perhaps jailed
