I have negative sympathy for everyone fired for not getting the COVID-19 vaccine. I mean if you’re exempt, great. But if you didn’t have a medical exemption, man fuck off. Fuck off if you have a good government job. Fuck off of it’s a private sector job. We’re talking about a miracle drug with minor side effects. It means that you are much less likely to pass a major disease to vulnerable people.

Honestly, it’s better that you aren’t out spreading the disease on the public dime. It stinks that you didn’t get vaccinated; Not that you were fired. I think of all of the people who did so much work to get to the place where you can get vaccinated easily and for free.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And honestly, get vaccinated so I don’t have to make fun of your dumb ass.

    I think of all of the people who did so much work to get to the place where you can get vaccinated easily and for free.

    I think of all of the effort Democrats put into making people fearful of a vaccine created while Trump was president. Kamala Harris, in particular, should take a bow for her contribution to the lower vaccination rates among black Americans.

    I don’t remember libbies referring to it as a “miracle drug” back them.

    I must say, it has been enjoyable watching Jayapal’s climbdown. Biggest winner is AOC, who avoids having to say the stupid shit coming out of Jayapal’s mouth as she chews her crap sandwich.

    “The president is the inspirer, he is the closer, he is the convincer, the mediator in chief,” Jayapal said. “He really is doing a phenomenal job.”

    I especially liked Jayapal describing a conversation as “conversational”.

    A year ago libbies were petrified that the “miracle drug”, a vaccine against the COVID-19 virus, would come out before Election Day.

    And that it would work.

    The time to stop supporting a failed president and start getting shit done is when you find yourself on a path to writing “Communism isn’t so bad when you think about it.” pieces.

    …really pales in comparison to the effort Desperately Poor Bobby put into fabricating “FB friends from CO” for that exact purpose.

    I don’t know who Carl Beijer is.

    But I do know about famine in the Soviet Union.
    It was a big deal.
    And it was not caused by agricultural collectivism or “SOOOWSHUUUULISMS!!!!!!!”.

    Ironically it was caused by authoritarianism and by inculcated denial of basic science and an understanding of the world derived from the study of facts and evidence.

    Stalin single handedly placed a Lamarckian lunatic in charge of first all Soviet agriculture, and eventually all Soviet bio-sciences. And they purged the entire system of scientists, technocrats, agronomists, and bureaucrats who refused to go along. Scientists of whatever discipline who published or expressed support for natural selection were violently purged and imprisoned. The bizarre policies that resulted produced a series of collapsed wheat harvests and set back crop research by decades.

    It was a very big deal. Millions starved.
    And it had everything to do with the sort of “Nuke the hurricanes” leadership the GQP stands for.

    Republicans were wrong again. But then, they’re never right about anything. Just another reason to vote for Democrats, even though they’re not perfect. And that would be true even if Republicans weren’t violent, armed, fascists attacking school boards, legislators, journalists, and the seat of our national government.

    “Not that you were fired.”

    As far as I’m concerned, they all quit.

    In this state, they won’t get UI, either. If they lost their job because they refused to comply with an employer policy, they’re ineligible. So I hope they set aside some savings for the rainy day they knew was coming months ago.

    @4 “writing “Communism isn’t so bad when you think about it.” pieces”

    Actually, it was a nutjob Republican who reposted that piece, written by some obscure bigger rightwing nutjob. Nobody on our side said anything about “Communism.”

    On our side, we try to refrain from using the “N” word (the one ending in “i”), although I admit sometimes it’s hard. But it’s your side that has no verbal discipline whatsoever. Republicans bandy the words “socialism” and “communism” so much the terms have lost all meaning.

    And now you’re leaping onto that bandwagon, too (eye roll). However, it had to be expected. You’re a dumbfuck, and dumbfucks don’t know any better.

  18. 18

    @6 It’s not just laughable, it’s grotesque, for him to blame vaccine fear on Democrats. I don’t think I need to explain why.

    @8 I can’t think of a nicer guy for inflation to happen to. You deserve it. The frosting on the cake is that your entire social security COLA will go for higher Medicare premiums and higher prices for horse feed. Keep fucking that chicken, doc. You can’t afford the horse anymore.

  20. 20

    @9 You don’t need scientists when you’re using famine and starvation as a deliberate mass murder policy. There’s no ambiguity about what Stalin was up to. He ordered his henchmen to take the planting seeds, too. And take away anyone who objected.

    I remember reading in Timothy Snyder’s “Bloodlands” about a starving boy eating his own leg while it was still attached to his body.

    That wasn’t about communism as a social or economic model. It was about a sociopathic dictator using genocide as a method of political control.

    When Republicans talk about “civil war,” “rounding up liberals,” and putting liberals in “concentration camps,” they remind me of Stalin and Hitler. (It has occurred to me they don’t need to do any of that; all they have to do is station their armed private militias at grocery stores.)

    And that makes perfectly clear the absolute necessity of keeping them out of power, no matter how inept, unsuccessful, or bungling the Democrats may be at a given moment. I’ll take a hundred bungled Afghanistan withdrawals over 4 years of a Proud Boy Stalin any day.

    @ 19

    … higher prices for horse feed.

    Tell me about it. But it’s not just horse feed. Cattle feed, pig feed, chicken feed.

    Just don’t worry about me, Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit. Worry about your fellow Democrat voters, who increasingly assign the blame where it belongs. They are 41% of your party at present @ 8, and their numbers are growing..

    15,
    It sounds to me like Rolovich’s attorney is working on contingent fee basis. Since his claim appears to be largely without merit, at least it won’t cost him anything.

    But honestly, he’s not in the worst possible legal position. And unless he really poisoned his relationship with his AD (and it sounds like he may have) he stood an okay chance of walking away with a small but reasonable out-of-court and out-of-the-media settlement. Given the public statements his attorney is now making, that’s probably gone.

    Which reduces this to a publicity stunt. And I’m lost for examples of Div. 1 ADs who are going to be impressed by that.

  25. 25

    @15 I’ve been busy with chores this morning, and haven’t seen the complaint, but as you know lawsuits aren’t typically thrown together overnight. Rolovich was fired two days ago. If a lawsuit is already filed, it has very likely been in the works for quite some time. Maybe since July, when Rolovich announced he wouldn’t get vaccinated. Which would suggest he expected to lose his job and was planning all along to sue. From which it follows that he was lying when he told the media he would “comply” with the governor’s mandate. Add dishonesty to the reasons for terminating him.

    Rolovich’s lawyer is Brian Fahling, admitted 1989, has a solo practice in Kenmore. Website here. His office address is a private residence in Kenmore.

    According to his LinkedIn profile, he was a deputy pros in Snohomish County for 4 years, then worked 13 years for the American Family Association, which the Southern Poverty Law Center lists as an anti-gay “extremist group.” Then solo practice since 2008.

    Sometimes you can learn a lot about a guy from who his lawyer is, and his claim by who his lawyer isn’t. You’d think a guy just terminated from a $3-million-a-year employment contract by a deep-pocketed employer would be represented by a big firm with an employment department and its team of employment specialists who came from top-drawer law schools and edited law reviews. Not some guy who cut his teeth representing hate groups and now works from his home, answering the phones himself.

    And then there’s the little matter of what suing his last employer, and calling his report names, does to his future employability. It’s awful to watch someone burn at the stake. It’s worse when he lights the match himself.

    28,
    This has always been his plan, I’m assuming in direct consultation with Cocaine Mitch.

    There’s really no other reason for most of the lines he’s drawn.

    Consider his Hyde Amendment demand.

    Nothing in the reconciliation bill would change the current status of the Hyde Amendment. Demanding that Democrats in the House and Senate vote in favor of it in order to preserve their spending priorities is a purely political stunt. “Reauthorization” of the Hyde Amendment is a political cudgel wielded in times like these by Republicans (when they can) to force Democrats to take a politically harmful vote. He’s already begun doing the day to day work of a Republican lawmaker. The only question that remains is the timing of when will he change the letter after his name.

    Nothing Democrats say or do will change that. It has nothing to do with them. Manchin wants to remain in the Senate. Trump and McConnell have promised repeatedly to eject him if they can. His state has continued it’s drift into extremism. He wouldn’t hold out much longer with a D after his name under those circumstances.

    Pretending that Manchin has a future as a Democrat is pointless.
    Manchin himself stopped doing that in 2018. And Democrats are making the best of a bad situation by continuing to work with him. But at least this can finally put to rest and put the lie to the ridiculous claims that Manchin’s obstructionism represents “moderate” Democrats. Manchin represents the GQP. That’s been manifestly the case for at least three years.

  34. 34

    @32 I assume his exit plan is a Senate pension and spending more time with his family, because if he leaves the Democratic Party, not only won’t Republicans vote for him, but Democrats won’t vote for him either.

  35. 35

    Manchin apparently doesn’t plan to switch to the GOP. Rather, he’ll style himself as an independent. For now, the working title of his new iteration is “American Independent.” What he really plans to do is form a third party, and call it the “American Coal Party.”

  36. 36

    @33 He wants to write Biden’s package himself, on his terms, and to hell with the 220 Democrats in the House and the other 49 Democratic and Democratic-leaning independent senators who might not agree. Pretty fucking arrogant.

    I’ve no dog in this hunt. The pope might.

    5. At the same time, practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary. In any case, from the ethical point of view, the morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one’s own health, but also on the duty to pursue the common good. In the absence of other means to stop or even prevent the epidemic, the common good may recommend vaccination, especially to protect the weakest and most exposed. Those who, however, for reasons of conscience, refuse vaccines produced with cell lines from aborted fetuses, must do their utmost to avoid, by other prophylactic means and appropriate behavior, becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent. In particular, they must avoid any risk to the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons, and who are the most vulnerable.

    Krugman is desperate to get y’all to believe there’s no inflation. The reason is that with Sinema refusing to vote for tax hikes and Manchin open to $1.75 trillion in new spending (on top of around $567 billion in new spending in the BIL), there’s gonna be more inflation. Quite a bit more inflation.

    The security failure at EPIK is beginning to reveal some disturbing patterns. The publication at the end of September of Oath Keepers data,
    https://twitter.com/natsecgeek/status/1442412923717050369
    is turning up frankly terrifying links between the extremist, pro-fascism, ultra-white-nationalist paramilitary organization and hundreds of Republican lawmakers throughout the U.S.

    The ties between Oathkeepers and law enforcement and the military were already pretty well understood before this data release. But the extent of membership in the violent domestic terror network by Republican elected office holders was not as well known until now. While journalists and data scientists studying the release have linked to hundreds of elected officials, only a few dozen have been willing to confirm their membership and are being named at this time.

    Oathkeepers were the paramilitary teams participating in the violent domestic terror attack on Congress on Jan 6th who were were organized into tactical squads and specifically assigned to attack and overcome police strong points permitting the mob of violent irregulars to advance to breach points and gain entry to the secure building.

    The teams researching the data are now turning their attention to discovering links between the domestic terror network and U.S. Congressional staff.

    We’re soon gonna see another pissing match between Rand Paul and Fauci.

    ’cause it turns out the NIH did fund research that included gain-of-function work.

    In admitting this, the NIH took pains to point out that this research was not what caused The Wuhan. I don’t doubt that. What caused The Wuhan is still being hidden.

    In a year, just weeks removed from a shellacking that will make 1994 and 2010 look like mere bumps in the road, Democrats will be desperate to blame China for causing The Wuhan.

    A plurality of respondents in the CNBC poll see a recession next year.

    The Biden Recession.

    Jay Campbell, partner at Hart Research Associates, the Democratic pollster for the survey, points out that Biden’s numbers on the coronavirus are particularly worrisome since he believes Biden’s perceived ability to deal with the pandemic was a major reason for his election.

    “If the economy doesn’t get back on track, and the Coronavirus doesn’t reverse course at some point soon, then this is a presidency that’s going to be in real trouble,” he said.

    The survey clearly shows Americans noticing the supply and labor shortages that are plaguing businesses. Some 60% of the public say goods that were once easy to buy are in short supply, including food and groceries, paper products, and cleaning products.

    Also, 66% appear to have noticed labor shortages, saying they have experienced stores closed on odd days or at strange hours when they normally would be open.

    Oh. One more thing. A Democrat pollster for CNBC found First Vegetable Joe Biden’s support was only 41%.

    Let’s compare Hassan and Sinema, shall we?

    Hassan has reliably schmooched Schumer’s hairy backside for four-plus years and hails from a purplish state. Her approval @ 95 is 33%.

    Sinema has been somewhat of a thorn in Schumer’s hairy backside for a couple of years, and hails from a purplish-to-red state. Her approval is 56%.

    Kyrsten Sinema Isn’t Hitting the Panic Button

    Personally, I see nothing wrong with an independent senator from Arizona who caucuses with the Democrats most of the time, and occasionally really annoys them. She’ll win re-election by 5 points, and that is Democrats’ best-case scenario.

    Democrats don’t want to see her successfully primaried, and then run as an independent. Democrats don’t want another Joe Lieberman, a self-described Independent Democrat for the last six years he served. Democrats really don’t want their vote split between Sinema and the Arizona version of Ned Lamont, and see the seat flip back to the GOP.

    Sinema’s got a spine and she looks marginally better in a dress than YLB. Libbies hate that.

  103. 103

    That chick is toast.

    You should check the party crosstabs.

    “That chick” is 94% with reg Dems. Sununu is only 79% with reg Republicans. At the last election there were 324,593 registered Democrats, which is 31.8 percent of the total, and 306,542 registered Republicans, which is 30%. On party line only Hasan comes out ahead. So to draw any conclusions other than that requires you to examine the undeclared voters.

    In the presidential primary election last year 170,443 undeclared voters cast ballots. A total of 130,758 undeclared voters took Democratic ballots, while 39,685 undeclared voters took ballots for the Republican primary.

    Your panel poll splits the responses down the middle between the party registrations, then plugs in more than 40% more undeclared voters. It skews disproportionately older and less educated than the most recent statewide general election. There are lots of other problems with using a poll like this as a forecasting indicator. All them really come down to it being a panel poll.

    Longitudinal panels polls like this one are very good at one thing: tracking shifts in voting attitude over time. The real good data in that publication lies in the comparisons from July 2015 through October 2021 and looking at how the numbers move over time.

    But you do you. I’d say Hasan should be aware and concerned. But given that her favorability numbers, though they have slipped since spring, nevertheless remain very steady, I’d think her reelection will depend upon pandemic recovery and obviously tying her opponent to Donald Trump, Qanon, the Republican Terror Attack, and Nuke the Hurricanes. It’s a pretty strong hand for any incumbent in a booming economic recovery. It’s just made that much stronger by Stop the Steal mobs breaking up PTA meetings and making bomb threats.

    Not on the ballot in 2022: Donald Trump.

    And I assume you caught that Hassan’s net favorability among independents, who probably are the same as last year’s undeclared voters, is minus 47.

    And then there’s the popularity of the Sununu name in NH…

    More on the status of next year’s Senate races in battleground states from Politico:

    The poll was conducted among voters in Senate battleground states: Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Georgia and Nevada.
    …
    a majority of voters (53 percent) say the economy has gotten worse while just 30 percent of voters say it’s improved, the poll showed. Perhaps more troubling for Biden and Democrats, who are trying to maintain their razor-thin Senate majority in 2022, is the pessimistic view of the “persuadable” camp. Just 18 percent of those voters say the economy is getting better.

    Those “persuadable” camp voters are the voters QoS McHillbilly is desperate to believe will split 3:1 in favor of Democrats in NH next year. Riiiiiiggggghhhhhtttt.

    Among persuadable targets, however, just 27 percent say they approve of the job the president is doing while 57 percent disapprove. The group’s private poll from May had Biden well above water, with 49 percent approving and 43 disapproving. Few Senate races in the modern political era tilt against how voters view the president. So if Biden is underwater heading into the election year, holding a 50-50 Senate will prove to be a tough proposition for Democrats.

    As we speak, McAuliffe is desperately trying to tie Youngkin to Trump. He’s got nothing else going for him, so trying to make 2021 about Trump is what he’s decided to try. Next year Trump will be one more year separated from reality, and if libbies be believed Trump will also be under indictment for everything from pissing on whores to murdering Seth Rich.

    2022 won’t be about Trump. It will be about First Vegetable Joe Biden.

    An observation about the Biden Townhall

    The press corp is seething that he’s doing these rather than more press conferences. Meanwhile the questions at these are about policy, the pandemic, the economy, healthcare, climate change, and education. The questions at the press conferences are about Trump, whether Biden will run in 2024, whether Biden thinks Trump will run in 2024, whether Biden thinks Harris will be his VP if he runs in 2024.
    These are way better.
