There is a limit to how far you can push Americans
By: Tucker Carlson
Let’s go Brandon is going into more Orwellian double speak and dystopian actions by the day. Biden and the blue parts of America are turning on and vilifying other Americans and they are making a stand of their own. Tucker yet again absolutely nailed it with what he said here.

There is a limit to how far you can push Americans
The actions of Southwest Airlines' pilots show there will be backlash to Biden's vaccine mandates
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Joe Biden showed up at a construction site in Illinois last Thursday to explain what a terrific job he's been doing. Biden's poll numbers, you may have noticed, have declined recently, not just by a little bit, but by such a dramatic margin that some prominent Democrats are openly worried about it. The midterms are in a year.

So the point of last week's appearance outside Chicago was to remind all of us in the country that our perceptions of Biden's performance are silly and baseless. Actually, Joe Biden is a great president. He's totally aware of what's happening. He's completely on top of things. He knows exactly what he's doing and he's got your well-being at heart. Not the narrow economic interests of some soulless multinational corporation that hates America and your family. No, you! Because Joe Biden is awesome.
TEXAS GOV. GREG ABBOTT BANS ‘ANY ENTITY’ FROM ENFORCING A COVID-19 MANDATE
And to prove it. Biden talked at length about the COVID vaccine. His greatest achievement, he said. Now, strangely, Biden didn't say a lot about the vaccine itself. He did note that if you get the shot, you could not spread COVID to other people. And if there were doctors in the audience, they might have been confused because that is ridiculously and provably untrue. Of course, the vaccinated can spread COVID, and they do.
But Biden didn't pause and dwell on the science such as it is. Instead, Biden spent virtually his entire speech attacking any American who hasn't yet gotten the shot. Now you've heard him say that a lot, but it's worth taking a closer look at what Joe Biden said last week outside Chicago. Go, look it up for yourself. It's on the C-SPAN website.
As you watch it, ask yourself, has any president in our history ever talked about millions of American citizens like this? This is the way presidents talk about foreign enemies or dictators talk about enemies in their midst. It's not the way American presidents talk, or ever have. Ever, for any reason, under any circumstances. We can't think of a single example, even during the Civil War.
And yet, according to Joe Biden , unvaccinated Americans are the root of this country's problems. They're destroying our economy. They are killing our people. The unvaccinated, Biden said, are solely responsible for the outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID, the outbreak that has left tens of thousands of Americans dead.
AIRLINES BOWING TO A ‘PRESS RELEASE’; VAX MANDATE A ‘MIRAGE’ NOT YET ON BOOKS: WATTERS
Biden noted this to the morbidly obese governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker , who nodded from behind his mask as if all of this was settled science. And then Joe Biden kept going. The unvaccinated are dangerous, he announced. They are diseased. They're dirty. They are unpatriotic. They are selfish. They are pathogens in human form. They have caused this deadly virus to "spread to our children, to spread throughout society."
They suffer because of their absurdity and their self-inflicted suffering burdens the rest of us. They "overcrowd our hospitals" like a plague of swarming, gasping insects, they "overrun our emergency rooms and intensive care units." Americans. And as they lie, they're ventilated, dying, reaping the rewards of their own sin, these miscreants "leave no room for someone with a heart attack or in need of a cancer operation."
These people get no sympathy because they're barely people. The unvaccinated Biden told us. Die their much-deserved deaths, but even as they die, they burdened the rest of us. That's how horrible they are. They're subhuman they’re wreckers of a nation.
We're not overstating any of this, by the way. Go watch Biden's speech, it's online. The question is: once you've identified a diseased fifth column like this within the country that you run, What do you do with them? Biden got to that toward the end of his speech.
JOE BIDEN: These requirements work, and as the Business Roundtable, others told me when I announced the first requirement that encourage businesses to feel they could come in and demand the same thing of their employees. More people are getting vaccinated, more lives are being saved. Let's be clear: when you see headlines and reports of mass firings and hundreds of people losing their jobs, look at the bigger story. … Over the past week we've seen American, Southwest, Alaska, JetBlue Airlines all announce requirements.
Yeah, there have been mass firings, the president said. But when you see reports of mass firings of law-abiding American citizens, Joe Biden told us, what you're really seeing is progress. You should celebrate.
SEATTLE RESIDENTS WILL ‘PAY THE PRICE’ AS UNVACCINATED COPS FACE TERMINATION, SAYS UNION OFFICIAL
Think about that. No American president has ever made a statement like that, cheering the firing of law-abiding Americans in the multitudes. But Joe Biden did. He didn't even pause. He says things like that regularly. Now that's fine if you're on Joe Biden's side, apparently.
But what if Joe Biden was talking about you? What if he was talking about your livelihood, your career, the future of your family? How would you feel? We should consider that, because these are Americans he's talking about, and as we do consider that, think about what happened to air travel in America over the weekend.
Southwest Airlines, you may have read this, one of our biggest carriers all but shut down on Saturday and Sunday, the airline canceled thousands of flights. It threw the nation's famously efficient system of air travel into total chaos. It's stranded countless travelers in airports. Again, you saw it on the news.
The question is how did this happen? Well the official explanation came right away. It was bad weather on the eastern seaboard. There were thunderstorms. There were also unspecified issues with air traffic control and all of that together forced Southwest Airlines, alone among airlines, to cancel its flights.
That's what the company Southwest Airlines claimed. They claim that in a statement to us today, a long statement. It's what many media outlets have repeated uncritically for the past two days.
MSNBC'S CHRIS HAYES HIT FOR SPREADING ‘MISINFORMATION’ ABOUT MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY TREATMENTS
And yet we can tell you it is untrue. All of that is a lie. It's not what happened. We've spoken to several people with direct knowledge of what actually did happen. We can tell you that the shutdown of Southwest Airlines over the weekend was a direct consequence - it was a reaction to - Joe Biden's vaccine mandates.
It began last week when Gary Kelly who is a CEO of Southwest, sent an internal memo to his employees declaring that, per Joe Biden's directive, any Southwest employee who was not fully vaccinated by the 8th of December will be fired. Canned. Done, right before Christmas.
Now, this would include not simply pilots on Southwest and flight attendants, of course, but ramp workers, mechanics, dispatchers, schedulers, ticket agents, people from the top to the very bottom. Many thousands of people.
Now, some unknown but apparently large number of these people have still not been vaccinated. Why is that? Well, many of them have already recovered from COVID. They have antibodies that offer them greater protection than any vaccine ever could. That's the science. So they don't want the vaccine.
Others have sincere religious objections. They object to the use of aborted fetal tissue in the development of pharmaceuticals. So they don't want it. They believe it violates their faith. Still, others have friends or co-workers or relatives who have suffered severe side effects from the vaccine, and therefore they are afraid to take it. That makes sense. Don't make fun of them. That's real.
INTERNET REACTS TO FAUCI GIVING BLESSING TO CELEBRATE HALLOWEEN: ‘NO ONE ASKED HIM’
And yet others are taking a stand purely on principle. They believe that in a free country, politicians should never be allowed to force citizens to submit to medical treatment they don't want. These are Americans who grew up in a country where that fact was taken for granted, everybody assumed it, and they want to preserve that country for their children. That's their motive.
But whatever their various reasons, the unvaccinated employees of Southwest Airlines, the many of them, are decent, high functioning Americans, and they have watched as their own government has dismissed them out of hand as criminals for reasons that don't even make sense.
Consider the argument they're hearing from Joe Biden: You must get the shot for the sake of people who've already gotten the shot because the shots don't work well enough to protect the people who've already gotten them. That's what Joe Biden and the entire American health establishment is telling them. So imagine making that argument to an airline pilot, someone whose entire job is based on logic. It is utterly bewildering to them, because it doesn't make sense. It's just too unreasonable.
"I've flown military jets in three different war zones," one pilot told us this weekend. "I have never lost sleep like this. The stress is beyond belief. It's dangerous." People are melting.
So this weekend in protest, a large number of southwest pilots called out sick and they effectively shut down their airline. And many of them, you should know, admire the company they work for. They love Southwest Airlines, but they felt they had no choice but to do this. Nobody was standing up for them, not the United States Congress, which, by the way, has exempted itself from vaccine mandates, not even their labor union, which exists and is paid to defend them. But they're not.
TAMMY BRUCE: BIDEN DIDN'T EXPECT THIS KIND OF BACKLASH TO VACCINE MANDATES
So in desperation, the pilots committed the most basic act of nonviolent civil disobedience, something we used to celebrate in this country. They stayed home. Now, at the same moment, they decided to do this, a large group of air traffic controllers apparently reached the very same conclusion. An estimated 6,000 federal air traffic controllers have not yet received the Biden mandated shot. That's nearly half of all air traffic controllers in this country. And they all, as federal employees, have until next month to submit or they will be fired. And when they are fired, our air traffic control system, which is already dangerously short-staffed, ask anyone who works in it, will stop. It will cease completely just in time for the holidays.
Now, once again, the controllers union has been no help to them. And once again, the media have aligned with the Biden White House to vilify them, not as people who are being persecuted as a matter of conscience, but as criminals. So on Friday, apparently, they took action. The air traffic control headquarters in Jacksonville, Florida, known to all pilots as Jacksonville Center, shut down. This never happens. It didn't even happen when there was a fire in a Chicago air traffic control center. They managed to keep air traffic control going.
But this weekend, Jacksonville Center shut down because there was simply no one to man it. There was no one there. The effects of this were profound, and they were immediate. Jacksonville Center controls the airspace in this country from Orlando to Raleigh, North Carolina, as well as far out over the Atlantic Ocean. That's some of the most crowded air routes in the world.
Air traffic controllers in Atlanta watched as planes headed for South Florida, rerouted west, and wound up over the Mississippi River. That would be the world's longest detour. And for a moment, in the chaos, it became clear that Joe Biden is not the only person in this country who has power. It turns out there is a limit to how far you can push some Americans.
So in that way, it might have been cast as an inspiring story - man against the machine. But the media had no interest in telling that story. In fact, some on the corporate left suggested the Southwest pilots had somehow committed what is known as an illegal job action. Illegally not showing up for work, as if politicians have a right to force Americans to labor against their will.
Now, some of us had assumed that was a condition we would recognize as the textbook definition of slavery. But no, it's illegal not to work, they told us. And then at least one outlet describe what the pilots had done as "domestic terrorism." Get to work immediately wage earner or you're al Qaeda.
There were more cancellations at Southwest Airlines today, no doubt there will be more to come and not just of airline flights. At least two Amtrak train routes in the Northeast were canceled over the weekend and, so was a regularly scheduled car ferry in Washington state out to the San Juan Islands. In all cases, the employees in question, who have been told to get the shot, did not show up.
Were these also protests against the Biden shot mandates? We can't say for certain. It certainly wouldn't surprise us, because that's our future. Thousands and thousands of Americans, the best among us in many cases, will be stripped of their livelihoods, of their lives by the Biden White House's mandates.
This is not a small thing. As of tonight, more than 50,000 U.S. Marines still have not received the shot, as well as a large percentage of the Navy SEAL teams. What will happen when these people are gone from the force? Who's going to protect this country? Who's going to protect our cities?
In Seattle, to name just one example, the city is moving forward toward firing fully 40 percent of the entire police force over the Biden shot mandates. Good luck getting your emergency calls answered after that, and so on.
Our hospitals, our schools, our national labs, scientists and researchers at Oak Ridge and Los Alamos, among others. All torn apart by a purge overseen by Susan Rice that has nothing whatsoever to do with public health and everything to do with the accumulation of political power.
That is happening right now. Make no mistake, it will continue to happen unless good people work immediately to stop it.

If you have to explain to people that you are doing a " terrific job", guess what asshat, YOU AREN'T DOING A TERRIFIC JOB.
I've never seen any President talk about their people like this. Dictators, yes. Not Presidents.
That's special. What times we live in, eh Jeremy?
Yes. Let’s go Brandon-don.
Biden knows he’s a one term President due to age and cognitive issues. He’s always been way to the left and not a moderate by the various rating/ grading given out by various groups. It’s no surprise based on the rankings that he’s hard left in office despite the moderate veneer his msm allies gave him. So, going dictator mode rather than President knowing he will never again face the voters is a natural for him as a person to do.
On the positive side of all this, it doesn't set up any left leaning successor in the least. Voters aren't as quick to forget what has already happened in this very short time.
There are no non leftist democrats who could win their nomination which virtually assures a GOP win in 2024 unless they cheat a lot more than they did last year.
Aren't "non-lefist" democrat" like unicorns. After seeing what the Democrats are trying to push for voting laws, they've already started to attempt to set things up (their cheat) for 2022 and 2024.
Non leftist democrats are a disappearing group on the edge of extinction. Almost all have sold their souls to the bi coastal progressive elites.
Those that have a differing opinion are bullied into submission or are completely ostracized. At least those ostracized are open to other ideas and processes of how to move forward.
Do I sound "humbled"? Do I look ostracized? Some conservatives on the other-hand are stuck in a republican conscience-less stream where they rule the U.S.A.
If only we could send some conservatives up in to space (like William Shatner today); would it teach some conservatives something positive about humanity or would the group fall back to earth in negativism stating now we know where the earth's exploitable 'fault lines' are?
Suggest you re-check what I said. Hint - I never said "humbled".
And nice example of the bullying pushed by the left. Thanks for helping prove the point.
Speaking with you is not bullying you.
Well said. The bitterness of the left toward states and counties with Conservative Republican elected leaders knows no bounds and knows lots of name calling and vitriol directed our way.
The tone you use in talking to us does seem based on post content to be heavy in condescension toward us and our beliefs and ideas.
I do not apologize for how I respond to people who consider it high 'sporting' to suppress and abuse the civil and voting rights of liberals. Dig?
And it gets worse: Our national air is thick around with rumors of political and actual civil war in our country. Persons who are disposed to injuring, murdering, and/or waging war on their 'internal' neighbors deserve straight talk—not chit-chat.
We are not chit-chatting, Jefferson. What you put forward here is not nice and its social media being used to foster ill-harm for liberals in the real world!
Neither I nor anyone else I know personally or here support suppressing or abusing civil rights or voting rights. Let’s not make excuses for lack of civility.
There is no real talk of a literal actual civil war. There will be a political divide over real issues. It is the left that talks of and actually resorts to coercion and force to impose its will upon those of us who disagree.
What I put forward is mainstream Christian conservative policy positions on the issues from taxes to economics, to national defense to social issues. There is nothing about ill harm for anyone. And yes this is a place to bring up issues and chit chat about them.
We will not chit-chat over not nice propaganda. Straight talk is more appropriate and it is what I can bring!
Mainstream Christian conservatives believe that Trump won the election; believe whatever he says; "love" him??
Not the Christians in my life (9x% of friends and family).
Truly hilarious considering your daily posts of bitter hate and constant name calling towards States and counties with progressive Democratic elected leaders. Your tired complaints about the "bi-coastal elites" about which you apparently know nothing but what some right wing bigoted propagandist has told you exposes the blatant hypocrisy of many right wing religious conservatives.
This seed shows that conservatives don't see liberals, progressives, centrists and any other rational American citizen as "American" considering they are claiming that there is only so far "you can push Americans". The self-centered some right wing conservatives have to consider themselves as the only Americans that exist or matter shows how rotted their bitter little egos have become.
You seem to support the slew of recent voting laws that were crafted by Republicans with data on voting patterns by race in hand that "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision," according to the courts.
" In northwestern Wisconsin, the chairman of the St. Croix County Republican Party was forced to resign Friday after refusing for a week after the siege to remove an online post urging followers to “prepare for war.”
" Phil Reynolds, a member of the GOP central committee in California’s Santa Clara County, appeared to urge on insurrectionists on social media during the Jan. 6 attack, declaring on Facebook: “The war has begun. Citizens take arms!"
Perhaps you should spend your time on conservative sites letting your people know that they don't need to stockpile their weapons and ammo because no one actually wants another civil war.
I would not characterize any of your seeds or posts as being anything close to "mainstream". Toxic creek perhaps, but certainly not mainstream.
And when will that ever begin? Labeling what Christian conservatives believe as propaganda is not straight talk.
is what Joe Biden and the secular progressive democrat party are dealing to the American people.
Centrists and independents are all polling closer to conservatives than to the left on most all of the issues.
Adorable—not!
Says one who believes whatever Trump claims; who "loves" Trump; who believes Trump won the election in 2020. Negative credibility.
Having negative credibility with you is a net plus for me here. If you ever sided with me on a given issue, I’d wonder what I did wrong and reevaluate my position.
Believing whatever Trump claims (especially his Big Lie) is an excellent way to be wrong about most everything.
Whether Trump is correct regarding the extend of the rigging of the last election has nothing to do with anything else. Trump was most certainly right about the economic and budget effects of his tax cuts.
People who believe Trump's Big Lie are beyond gullible and are unknowingly serving as his pawns.
Yeah, we're still waiting on the actual proof of a lie. And why are are you avoiding the second part of 3.2.25? Or is that the "lie" you are referring to?
Do you actually believe Trump's bullshit that he won the 2020 election?
Never said I did. But I'm not the one calling it a lie with nothing to show otherwise.
Look Jeremy, you are trying to defend Trump's lie. That is equivalent to you not dismissing it as ridiculous. How the fuck can any rational mind take the facts of the election and give credence to Trump's bullshit?
Nothing to show for it?
Open your eyes man. The US electoral process executed and determined the winner. Allegations of fraud were adjudicated and dismissed as groundless. Countless recounts produced nothing of significance. Bullshit after bullshit after bullshit has been exposed and you are still here asking for proof that this is a lie.
When someone claims a rigged election they are the ones with the burden of proof. The evidence screams that Trump's claim of 'rigged election' is complete bullshit and Trump has nothing of value to support his bullshit.
Yet, here you are, trying to defend Trump's lie by asking for more proof. A rational position would be to ask for Trump to provide persuasive evidence of this claim, not to ignore all evidence that shows Trump is lying.
Absolutely amazing.
Wow. That just happened. Jeremy, you never said you trust in Trump's bullshit about the 2020 election, but you are not willing to stake a position some many months later? And yet here you are damning and nailing Joe Biden will all the tacks you can get!
Nothing provided to disprove anything said.
Our entire electoral process, the adjudication of 61 lawsuits and countless recounts is not sufficient for you to comprehend that Trump was and is lying about a rigged election. And on top of that, Trump has no evidence to support his ridiculously obvious lie.
But no matter how much evidence to the contrary, you return with nuh'uh and nothing to support Trump's claim.
Very well. This forum should then rightly consider you to be one of those who defends Trump's Big Lie.
An enabler! Truth or explanation is a cast-off and all that matters is the 'voice' of Artful Liar!
Just inexplicable CB. Why would anyone destroy their credibility by defending Trump's con-job? Seems to me that anyone with an ounce of integrity would condemn the actions of a sitting PotUS who abused the influence of his office by making outrageous lies (without supporting evidence) about a lost election and our electoral system (and officials of same) in a pathetic attempt to avoid being recognized as the loser.
Because they have "skin" in it. I will liken it to a full capacity stadium:
It is safe to assume that 99.99% of the participants and spectators who engage and bother to appear in this setting have chosen a side to cheer to victory. Their side they will use their voice (commentary) to 'root' for in support of a cause.
Moreover, in your mind's eye, see these people watching 30,000 half-truths, misleading statements, and outright lies coming from center-arena. Now throw in one whole "Big Lie" coming up from the middle. . . it is impossible that 99.99% of those in the stands would miss the 'making' of this one all-consuming LIE.
It was/has not/can not missed. It is being cheered on.The main floor is built to be in sight of all attendees!
The moral of this: In our roles as liberals, secularists, and others - some conservatives want us to accept and agree that we have no rights and privileges that a (Trump) conservative ought to acknowledge.
To complete the effect, unfortunately, they have to follow the delusions of Donald Trump in his role as leader no matter where these lead them. And, it is shameful. Thus, they put forward that they are conscienceless when it comes to liberals, secularists, and others.
Oh so now Christians aren’t allowed to support whom we want for President who would accomplish most of our goals in the context of federal policy because the 9 Christians in your family disagree with us? Trump have us more reason to love him based on what he actually did as President than he gave us heartburn over his distant past or his late night early morning tweet storms. No apologies forthcoming for that support.
What a ridiculous fabrication. Clearly you have no rebuttal so you just make shit up.
You think you speak for Christians and I countered that claim by noting that you are more of the exception rather than the norm in my life's experiences. Also, you are not the norm even for the Christians on this site. Have you not noticed?
I certainly hope that you are not the norm for Christians in this nation. Imagine the average Christian believing that Trump won the election. "love"-ing Trump (he is not even religious), and believing whatever Trump claims.
Remarkable. I could not have stated it better (so I won't try and I wanted to!)
Actually hilarious. Can I please have a dollar for every time Trump said he was doing a "great" "fantastic" or "excellent" job ? I would like a Hawaiian vacation.
You got them in the form of Tax Breaks.
This is actually funny. They won't acknowledge that just like they won't acknowledge some other things that happened under the previous administration actually worked (i.e. tax breaks, immigration, etc.)
But if you ask them we're gaslighting and lying.
He didn't do anything except give tax breaks to the already wealthy.
Lets see it.
White privilege commentary at work ⇡.
Some conservatives are gaslighting and lying.
When all else fails make it about race. How pathetic.
Just as MOST progressives.
Some conservatives are ones to talk: Just look at Texas 'eating' Hispanic and Black American 'numbers' in the redistricting headlines:
The Texans who run the 'place,' just pulled the "black-Hispanic-card" right out from the deck and chunked it into the shitter!
And you want to come for my commentary, Jeremy?
What's pathetic is White some conservatives can't stand a challenge so as is typical they go for stacking the deck! So now we have a "double" red-state!
White authoritarian power grab; right there in front of your face! No need to look away: Just look straight ahead!
No liberal is gaslighting you generally, Jeremy. Stop the delusions; it's in some conservatives' power to fix. Fact is, more and more of this nation's citizenry don't want to be lying, deceiving, self-deluded some conservatives. Most people want some conservatives to cease and desist their onslaught on their fellows.
Democrats are effing Republicans over in New York and Illinois so it all balances out.
Elections have consequences, we were told.
Deal with the consequences and win elections if things aren't running how you wish.
Odd that no Democrats whined about districts when they gerrymandered for decades, courtesy of the Southern Democrats ensuring the Democratic Party stayed in power.
Of course, you would look for an excuse to why perfection is NOT what some conservatives are striving to be. Just run to the bottom and sat there and hold your breath! Jeremy launched the "we're so much better than thou" routine and of course I produced one of the many incidents to come where some conservatives are lying their way through to 'eat' up and consume what belongs to other citizens in this country. Gluttonous thangs!
Oh phooey. Now you want to talk about Southern democrats. Can the Civil War be far behind or are you okay with taking it off the table? Where are those southern democrats (of yesterday) today? Riiiiighhht. Voting republican for life!
Yes, elections have consequences: One of which is clearly some conservatives' integrity, decency, and sense of esprit de corps with fellow citizens of this country!
Like 1930-2000?? Now 2010 and 2020 are so terrible.., Their hypocrisy and double standards know no bounds.
Not really, just tired of your deflecting.
I find it hard to believe how many progressive liberals have fallen for that crap.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised any more.
LOL!!!!
Democrats can't even pass a simple real infrastructure bill that would benefit all.
Boy, if THAT doesn't spell "integrity, decency, honesty, and a sense of esprit de corps with fellow citizens, what does?
Yeah, well sorry. We want to make some conservatives relatively 'happy' but why should you be happy without us being happy too? Y'all are too damn selfish and greedy! Pass the human infrastructure bill. Joe Manchin is just one among two democrats sitting on his damn hands and elbows. Can't y'all spare several republicans to help "the people" or is Joe and Kristin part of a diabolical scheme hashed behind close doors and dark parlors to have republicans stand 10 feet off and they do the dirty work?
The Senate passed a bipartisan real infrastructure bill that Nancy Pelosi has promised a vote on multiple times, only to renig on it every time.
Joe Biden pushed for this bill, negotiated part of the bill, and then, when the agreement was reached, promptly went and screwed the pooch on it by declaring it to be "in tandem" with a bill that hasn't even been fucking written yet and hasn't even been agreed to by Democrats, let alone Republicans.
Don't talk to me about selfishness or greed until the Democrats get their house in order and pass what has already passed the Senate. A bill which benefits all and can be done TODAY if the Democrats will simply vote for it..
Not only that, today the butt that just returned from his 8 week maternity leave as transportation secretary, despite the supply chain problems at our ports said that the bi partisan infrastructure bill with 17 billion for ports should be put off until they pass reconciliation first. Well, all I have to say to that is, “Let’s go Brandon!”
Yeah well let's just say you are well familiar with the swerve. Good old Mitch is a swerver and Donald Trump has "swerver" engraved in his HEEL status from the WWE days.
I'll say it one more time - When all else fails make it about race. How pathetic.
The comment you referred to had nothing to do with race. But yet here we are YOU making it about race.
The comment was about the 6 January protests. But yet here we are YOU making it about race.
You further that pathetic statement by bringing in a subject that wasn't even close to what the comment was about. But yet here we are YOU making it about race.
No Sparky. You went off on a race related rant that had nothing to do with what was being discussed. The least you could do is be honest.
Yeah, you would like to pigeon-hole this about January 6, protests which some "yahoos" try to lawyerly call a 'peace rally' when it was anything but. Additionally, you might even attempt to point out the scant people of color in the crowd as being "bi-racial" groupings. When we all know that having assenting faces in a population does not mean that race issues can not arise and be real.
Since you want to try it with me, give it your best shot. I say White privilege is in play. Y'all were given the "kid-glove" treatment when you entered the Capitol. Y'all were given the "kid' treatment when you pounded in the head of cops. Y'all were give the "kid" treatment when you picked up government property and walked it around in your palms and off the grounds of the Capitol. Y'all were given the "kid" treatment when you milled around the front of the capitol. Y'all were given the "kid" treatment when republicans and conservatives reverted and quenched their outrage over what happened to their 'home.'
This would not then and not now be your position had BLM or any large gathering of people of color had invaded the sanctum of the Capitol. People of color, especially the 'points of the spear' - Black Americans have been killed on the streets of America for far less than entering a government building.
So miss me with you bull patty. White privilege was utilized then and is being used now in your silence against an outrage. And if you really do think race was a factor here - then that you think I am foolish enough to buy in to your patronizing ignorance is pathetic.
I am honest. That you can't stand it is not my problem, "Sparky."
That is the comment subject you commented to. Even then you couldn't keep on track and feebly attempted to make it somehting its not. Race.
And that is what is making you the racist f@ck that we see many times on the left.
What's this "Y'all" shit? Are you claiming (naturally unfoundedly) that I was there?
[deleted]
There is no point in talking to someone so obsessed with Trump that they are simply incapable of rational discussion on any other topic without inserting Trump into it.
Since it apparently needs to be stated (why, I'll never know), Trump (as usual) has NOTHING to do with this.
BTW, I am sure if you only take time to look, you can find an article about Trump to vent on with your fellow travellers in your little "I Hate Trump" world.
Oh so now I am a "f@ck"? Well, if so, I am a "f@ck" that is calling white privilege out on the republicans and conservatives who can't see insurrection on the American rule of law when its hanging and swinging deep between their legs.
You plowed right into a discussion I was undertaking with Jefferson @3.3.1 so who knows? The perps on the ground that day can count on your support for their bull shit attacks and outrages, while lacking any display of sympathy and empathy for the law enforcement or congressional officials at risk. Atknown, the fact that the building was 'violated' that day and a work stoppage was caused.
Yes, "y'all" is appropriate. You might as well have been there: why the hell not?
And you could move on and see other people: So why are you still 'hanging out' and digressing? Apparently, you mistake me for some 'drug of choice.' I am not!
Actually, it’s not. Let’s not make stuff up out of whole cloth on the fly.
no you can only deflect. every single time on every single article.
Actually, It is—Jefferson. It's White privilege and you all are invoking it to get a usual pass from society as you screw liberals, secularists, and people of color in and out of context!
Let's talk about stuff made up out of whole cloth: Why do you think small rural 'America' is the only part of the nation worthy of taking stock? Being small in big fields just means y'all prefer to be insular and lacking in outside sophistication. For that, by the way, you need cities and metropolises. Oh, and large, international airports.
Less predator enabler and more Trump defender, please. Step up the game.
I prefer to watch you ramble on off topic, constantly displaying TDS.
Can you throw in just a few more catch phrases like "white privilege"? I haven't seen my quota yet today, I'm sure.
I only ask because I know you can't describe how liberals, secularists, and people of color are getting screwed. They should really give you examples of such when they tell you what to say and think.
Step up the game, Texan. You're doing retreads.
Hilarious from one who has used Trump so indiscriminately on every topic under the sun.
Retread would be constantly talking about the past president while ignoring the dunce in the WH now.
Donald Trump is out there suing 'the wind' for blowing generally. /s
Actually, the louse is suing to hide official documents from the people running the people's House in Congress. And you are out and about social media promoting 'turnabouts' in desperate attempts to lead people away from the Artful Liar and his "activities ." We see enablers right where you stand!
All Trump, 24/7/365, rent-free living in the penthouse of your mind!
Still drooling over that picture of Trump's ass, eh?
To each their own................................................
I love this. So hilarious.
It cracks me up too! It reminds me of the great Rodney Dangerfield and Jackie G. days!
Glory Days!
I was too young to see this, but now I see how funny they all were.
Woman, oh woman! Those guys were good! Classy and classic. Talent. Clean and honest mustaches back then.
He is correct! The unvaccinated are dangerous! They are selfish, inconsiderate, and stupid! They ate the reason the pandemic continues and new variants emerge!
So you were asleep the last four years?
I suppose Joe could take a page out of Ronald's playbook:
On August 5, following the PATCO workers' refusal to return to work, the Reagan administration fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order, and banned them from federal service for life. ... PATCO was decertified by the Federal Labor Relations Authority on October 22, 1981.
He can regarding federal employees but not anyone else. Beyond that he’ll be in the Supreme Court arguing how he has such authority.
I was a little boy when the polio vaccine became available for every child. I can still remember my mother putting me and my brothers and sisters in line to get the shot. Us kids didnt even really know what polio was. But , even though there were some side effects to the vaccine for a small number of kids, parents all over the country were overjoyed that the government was offering this shot which would most likely remove the fear parents had of their children being crippled forever by polio. The vaccine was overwhelmingly accepted by the nations parents, and others.
That was in the 1950's, before internet, cellphones, facebook, parler, and all the other social media that has led our population astray today. It was before conspiracy theories too.
Now we have Q Anon, pizzagate, and insurrections at the nations capital. The ex president spread misinformation and fear about believing in medical authority, and since he has a cult following many fell in line. The mistrust and misinformation spilled over even into those who are not Trump cultists.
Too many people today just want to go on their merry way and not accept that America is in real trouble.
I grew up with a neighborhood kid suffering with polio. All his young life (eventually I moved away as a young adult), he was left crippled in his limbs. Vunerable in every way (I can't remember if he could speak properly or not). It is something I would not wish on my worst enemy to be trapped in a contorted, 'wasted' body. Yes, we took the polio shot and are alive today to talk about it working.
It seems like we are living through a ‘life imitates art’ moment, where the ‘art’ is an Adam Sandler movie.
The "lubbers" of freedom are at it again:
Well, what we do know is Fox News requires vaccinations for its employees or "regular" testings. I will assume an 'airhead' like Carlson won't like to have his "freedom" assaulted on a daily basis, so yes! Airhead Carlson is vaccinated twice and done!
So there you have it. It's all a big lie and 'Airhead' is helping to obstruct hearts and minds for his and "the Cause."
In other words Carlson told him to mind his own business. No one should be questioned as to their status one way or another.
And yet Carlson wants to nuance and outright influence others to not get vaccinated as some value statement of freedom, over and over and over and over again. All while, he as a FOX News anchor highly probably vaccinated won't play it straight with his and any one's audience!
You should be asking, Why! But you won't because you trust Carlson's agenda.
I openly support the pro individual freedom of choice in this matter. I support his refusal to openly state whether or not he got one. That it annoys the deep state mandatory involuntary coerced jab supporters is pure gravy. The more they press for and agitate for coercion the more I think it is fun to deliberately tick them off and feed their anger and maneuver them into an overreach rage reaction the general public is repulsed by and turns against the dystopians.
That's remarkably dense. Liberals are vaccinated. We just hate to see anybody get this unfortunate disease and its full bodied 'takeover' of symptoms partially or completely. You're without doubt losing 'market share' and lives on the Right.
Hurt me? You're not doing anything to me, Jefferson, including up to an touching, not even a favor! I've got my two shots and a third in the 'works.' Also, I have my flu shot for the coming season. I'm stellar, as far as it goes.
I’ve had all that too. The difference is that I’m not willing to polarize our society by trying to coerce anyone else to act upon my belief or choice.
No further comment needed. This is disturbing. But you do you and I will just stand afar off.
We are having success in getting states and courts to limit the impact of coercive mandates. New York is going to have to rehire numerous hospital personnel, first responders, police, and teachers.
Personal freedom and individual liberty are disturbing things to the progressive left. They are all about power and control.
And so FOX News directs its franchise players and "heavy hitters" who appear on stages and sets maskless to conform - and thus, Tucker (I won't say if I did or didn't get jabs) Carlson is highly likely VACCINATED because FOX NEWS insurance will be sued any guests who gets sick from being in this kind of scenario where 'it' can contaminate Tucker:
Monday, October 11, 2021.
These are unvaccinated people? Inquiring minds don't think so!
I like that his libertarian side says to keep his vax status to himself. It’s a personal choice. He’s doing the right thing. Hannity and Ingram openly say they are vaccinated but refuse to back mandates saying it’s an individual choice for each citizen to make.
You would like that. Tucker Carlson is a wretched capitalist pig and he has blood on his hands from people who remain 'conflicted' during his rants of vaccination skepticism. (Probably both of the "freedom-lovers" there are signed off and hiding from the exposure.)
You can move on to Sean and Laurel who are the 'other half' of right-wing poor messaging influencers to those who trust them.
There is no defend for this Jefferson, though you try and fail again and again to gaslight 'America' and NT.
They appear to be socially distanced there.
No need for me to defend anything or anyone here. I’m going to believe what I believe and read the sources I read and listen to whom I like regardless what MBFC clones and members here on the other side think about it. I support truth, justice, and the American way.
Disturbed.
Truth, justice, and the American Way do cause progressives to be disturbed.
"Consider the argument they're hearing from Joe Biden: You must get the shot for the sake of people who've already gotten the shot because the shots don't work well enough to protect the people who've already gotten them."
The President never said such nonsense.
Whoever got fired because of refusing vaccines don't have a leg to stand on. You could have kept your job if you had just followed the rules.
States and courts are stepping in to prevent firings in a variety of cases and places especially protecting religious objections.
What I can't understand is that it is the Republicans/conservatives/rightwingers who are opposing vaccination and mask-wearing and other recommended methods to contain the virus when that attitude is leading to a high rate of deaths among themselves and their supporters - reducing their voting numbers. It's sort of like shooting oneself in the foot.
Up until Trump left office, democrats did the same thing.
Harris stated that she would not take the vaccine based on Trump telling her to do so but would take it if advised by medical professionals. So, no, Harris was never opposed to the vaccine — she was opposed to Trump as the authority.
You are spinning reality.
Fuck!!! I'm becoming one of YOU!?!?!?!
hey, you know that there could absolutely be no correlation between what Harris said and people reluctant to get vaccinated!
Fact: Harris objected to following the medical advice of Trump while stating she would take the vaccine on the advice of medical professionals.
You spin that fact and the best you have when caught is to utter a Pee Wee Herman: 'I know you are but what am I'.
Your comments, recently, do not correlate with objective, critical analysis. They read as those of a partisan.
Think, Texan. Who would Harris influence if the allegation that she refused to take the vaccine were true? She would influence Democrats. The super-majority of Ds are vaccinated :
Who, then, do you think would influence Rs to not take the vaccine?
You support the spinning of Harris' words into something she never stated while ignoring the repeated downplaying of the virus by Trump. Certainly you have observed Trump both encourage the taking of the vaccine and give people excuses to not take the vaccine. Clearly you can see that it is Rs who are predominantly not taking the vaccine.
When it comes to consistent messages on taking the vaccine, the Biden administration has consistently stated to take it. That cannot be said of the Trump administration.
So you proved his point. Biden told Americans they HAVE to get vaccinated or lose their jobs.
How in your twisted logic do you see me proving his point??
Harris stated she would not take the vaccine on Trump's recommendation but that she would on the recommendation of qualified medical experts. That is a fact.
It's like kindergarten. You have to repeat a logical statement 10 times before it sinks into such children.
For some people, it never sinks in!
As to the topic of the seed:
Who cares?
Not I.
You should. His is the message of rebellion and resistance to let’s go Brandon and his wildly excessive policies and mandates. Our dear leader uncle Joe and all levels of blue government will find that getting us to accept their rules, regulations, mandates, etc will be as fruitless for them as herding cats.

No one can 'obliterate' Taiwan's existence, Tsai
I have no idea who Brandon is and I don't give a damn.
I suppose since it's your seed you can consider any kind of garbage propaganda on topic, so don't even think that I would waste my time opening your links, if I could.
Nope, still don't care.
Brandon is Biden. “Let’s go Brandon” is a kosher way of saying “f¥€k Joe Biden”.
It was simply an image of The Republic of China with those words “Taiwanese, not Chinese, and proud of it.” Don’t you think that the population of Taiwan should have the franchise and be allowed to have an actual vote as to their desires for their future, or is democracy and individual freedoms and liberty anathema over in the PRC?
You may have freedom of speech, but no right to impose swearing at Biden as being a Jewish thing.
It makes no difference to me about what the Taiwanese people think or want, and I don't know of anyone here who is concerned about democracy and individual freedoms and liberty, because they have all the freedom and liberty they need and want, and that includes me.
I don't know of anyone here who is concerned about democracy and individual freedoms and liberty, because they have all the freedom and liberty they need and want
Is that one of Xi’s thoughts you are forced to memorize?
You live in a country with concentration camps and just threw@ journalist in jail for criticizing a movie and you think no one is bothered by that? Not every person who thinks for themselves was machine gunned and had their remains power-washed into the Sewers at tiananeman square you know.
one of the tragedies of totalitarian regimes like nazi germany, the Eastern European communist block and China is the captives, or citizens as you prefer, had to constantly lie to friends and family to avoid punishment. Everyone just constantly lied to each other about how great things were and how happy they were because they never knew who they could trust. A careless word to the wrong person and they were on a list.
so, no, I guess it’s no surprise people in China don’t complain to a foreigner.
China, the land of perfect freedom:
It's really amazing how much some people know ALL about China, its government and its people when they haven't spent one day in the country but are very talented at reiterating what they read or hear in the very media that they criticize for being biased and spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. Sure there are some things that people are unhappy about, but there are a lot of things that they are quite happy about, but that's not different from people all over the world. My colleagues when I was teaching and my good friends and wife's relatives here would never have lied to me notwithstanding I'm a foreigner. Nothing ever stopped them from saying they would rather not say, and that would not get them into any trouble, but they didn't. But I don't blame you for your comments because I believe they are just a sign of fear and jealousy. As for your consistently bringing up history, from decades ago, I think that your nation has some things in its history that it's not proud of as well.
Tucker Carlson has become a lying sack of shit. I no longer pay any attention to him.
For example: this is what Biden actually said about the unvaccinated in the speech Carlson referenced :
And this is what Carlson claims Biden stated:
Note what I highlighted in blue. This, is what Carlson claims Biden stated. A disgusting misrepresentation. One would have to be a fool to believe Carlson.
Yes, but remember who his target audience is. Fool is an understatement.
Carlson uses inflammatory words, sentences, and phrases to get a rise out of his audience. Then, we have Jefferson and other some conservatives try to gaslight us into trusting them to be fact curators.
Seems to be working, many progressives are talking about him and what he says.
Not being a fan or watcher of him, I'll take ya'lls' obvious expertise on him as gospel.
What I can't help is wondering why ya'll listen to him.
And yet you are here. . . meddling and peddling fake therapy 'sessions'. . . . If you are above it all, why are you 'slummin'? Obssessed with (gasp) CB?
Agreeing with your obvious expertise on a man you most likely watch daily, and wondering why people who do nothing but complain about him watch him so religiously..........
You presume against reason that CB watches Carlson religiously. If you are going to presume why not follow the most obvious path of logic and presume that CB cannot stand to watch Carlson more than sporadically?
Also one need not watch Carlson religiously to understand that he is a lying partisan sack of shit. Hell, just look at my post @9 and you will see this in clear sight. So imagine that CB has observed Carlson a dozen times or so and in each instance the same, basic, unabashed ugly exaggeration and lying takes place. Is that not, in your mind, sufficient evidence to form an opinion?
Carlson knows better and supposedly so does Texan: How else could he fail to mention any shortcoming/s of a republican or conservative in any post while demanding that a democrat, liberal, progressive, and secularist get torn a 'new one' - now how's that "action" for obsessive conduct?
For the record, I don't need to watch Tucker Carlson's propaganda show "faithfully" to mete out judgement on his lack of professional journalistic effect. For that I can watch segments, channel pop-in and out, and play Youtube videos of interests on Fox's subscription channel.
Brian Selter, CNN's "Reliable Sources," points out in his book, "HOAX" PUBLISHER: Simon & Schuster RELEASED: Aug 25, 2020 how journalists hold to a professional code of ethics which calls for minimizing harm (to viewers and readers) and yet in the early days and continuing of SARS Coronavirus-2 spread Fox News heavily pays its franchise anchors to maximize roadblocks and obfuscating points of view about non-related topics of liberty and freedom while their unknown numbers of their own listening audience drops like stuck down flies: effectively maximizing harm.
How dare Fox and NewsMax talk about personal freedom and individual rights! Do they think that they are broadcasting in America or something?
Tucker Carlson is a beacon of light and truth who speaks truth to power. It’s tempting to seed his commentary from the night before here Tuesday- Saturday mornings in article form.
Why make such utterly stupid claims? Do you actually think that such ridiculous claims will influence anyone?
Those who deny the truth of what he says are the ones making stupid claims. They are the ridiculous ones who influence no one. Tucker is right.
That is a faith-based perspective applied to a talking head on cable. Pathetic.
Oh that old Australian knows this 'crowd' alright. And they know how to 'eat' and suck 'em dollars out of 'asses in cheap seats' too! Hey suckers! Here buy (yet another) book and swag!
America! What a country! Right?
'Rona don't give a small damn about your 'quest' or confusion about 'liberty' and 'freedom.' Just ask any of the sick, dying, and if you can - dead! You've been/being had! Neil Cavuto confesses to getting the 'jab' - and it is SO MUCH BETTER than shitty rhetoric.
I bet you won't be seeding any commentary where big-shit talking Tucker tells the nation his vaccination status. Tucker is all NDA and close-mouth were it counts! Yeah, he is exercising his right and liberty to fleece some chumps with words that cost him nothing to deliver, but make him look good as gold. . . .and old that salary is 'sweeet'! SUCKER-LOVE!
He did deny that his employer has a vaccine mandate to remain an employee there as someone claimed.
*Sputter." Tucker Carlson is full of it. And you know it in your heart. But sure play coy (and fiddle) while people suffer and die in the name of so-called liberty and freedom. It's all shits and giggles; politics and big payouts until one is red-faced from coughing up a 'lung' or both!
It is interesting to note how quickly the progressive left are to surrender liberty, freedom, and individual rights and then belittle them and the bill of rights and invent some cause in order to demand the rest of us do likewise. We will not. We will defend individual rights, economic freedom, religious liberty all to the extent that it will take brute government force and a dystopian regime in order to forcibly seize them from us as nothing short of that will lead us to give them up.
That's warrior class clownish. Coughing up a lung (or two) will end silliness. Hell, some of the long-term effects of Sars-Covid 2 will blunt the neurological senses. The more I read about this condition, the worse it reads.The ultimate state of liberty and freedom is NOT being in a 'pine' box six-feet under, or being a model of "ashes to ashes," or being "brain-drained" by a germ that successfully crosses the blood/brain barrier. I would not wish such on anybody, but suit yourselves.
Covid cases are declining in the south and in most of America. These mandates are not needed. They are simply control tools. Rights and freedom should not be given up any longer. Benjamin Franklin was right about what those who would trade freedom for security deserve.
Unremarkable. Covid cases are declining (from your perspective) through 'blunt force trauma' experience and let's be clear. Declining cases do not remark on the tragedy of lives loss due to negligent conduct by some conservatives. You decry your falling numbers and yet you support its challenge to depletion by laying aside science-as a shield-in the midst of a storm of arrows!
Some conservatives have instructed, directed, and behaved themselves foolishly during this pandemic.
You can take no credit for the good that has eeked itself out in-spite of some conservatives' category mistake of confusing disease production and destruction with freedoms and liberties.
Furthermore, you appear entirely inconsistent when you shout "freedom!" and "liberty" in the faces of business CEO's (like Fox News Inc.) and then rebuke the same folks as choosing to use 'pandemic control measures' to safeguard company workforces and workplaces.
Go to the back of the class!
As recent history has shown, spikes in cases occur and can occur if we become too complacent too soon.
Sure they are.
That is simply your partisan based opinion.
Name ONE right or freedom you've given up!
With freedom also comes responsibility. Those who take freedom for granted (and ignore the bigger picture) don't deserve it!
Some conservatives have lost "top-level" influencers during this pandemic, because you all misjudged leading with thick-headed thinking shouting, "freedom!" and "liberty!" in the face of pandemic 'cannon--fire'! Throughout this pandemic, no one on this planet has operated with any freedoms or liberties that SARS-COVID-2 is obligated to respect.
You are shouting into a void and coming up empty. If weathering and suffering through the virus when it comes calling is your only answer to it. Then, your group, your towns, your spaces will continue to diminish to death and long-term SARS-COVID-2 after-effects!
It’s time for all mandates related to the China virus pandemic to end.
Nope. They're needed. Especially if we want to end the pandemic.
It’s basically over. It will never be absolute zero. Besides no one outside of blue states, counties, and cities are observing any of them anyway. Outside of those voluntary gulags everyone else makes a point of openly defying them all by not having any.
It won't be over because people take that attitude as well as stupidly fighting mandates, vaccines, and protective measures which are all designed to fight the pandemic. It seems people are too stupid to want it over or don't care.
We want it over and we want to end the control over our lives that blue city, county, state and federal officials exert using the virus as a tool to exert political and economic control over us.
Some of us want the pandemic to end. That should be the priority. Your wants are secondary and play out like a child whining.
Fox News host Neil Cavuto tells viewers 'life is too short to be an ass' in urging them to get vaccinated.
The key is that he urged people to get the vaccine. I do that too. Notice that he didn’t come out and advocate that people be placed under a mandate and coerced into doing so.
Cavuto has no authority to even consider mandating anything for anybody, including his own family. That's the "key." He is an influencer (at best) and not an (elected) leader. Big difference in "duties and responsibilities" and stewardship. Don't you think?
(Took you an awful long time to make that "come-back"!)
