Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Biden supporters have a strange way of defending him from the defenseless. For instance. you say that all the death and mayhem created by Biden's withdrawal plan was "inevitable."
Riddle me this: Why did Biden promise us this?
Speaking to reporters at the White House on July 8, Biden said the Taliban was "not remotely comparable" to the North Vietnamese Army "in terms of capability."
"There's going to be no circumstance where you see people being lifted off the roof of a embassy in the - of the United States from Afghanistan. It is not at all comparable," Biden said.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
I'm not sure why you are putting this on me. I have ZERO control over what biden said in the past or what he will say in the future.
PS: I was not defending him, or anybody else. I, unlike you and most others on here, feel no need to defend any politicians.
Every single person with better than a sixth grade education knows that no matter how long the Afghanistan occupation went on it would have ended the same way, with the tabiban getting control back. The fact that there were casualties is definitely a tragedy, no ifs ands or buts.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Thus far you've managed to tell me that nothing that happened has been Joe's fault.
Inflation? Not his fault.
Dead Marines? Not his fault.
Covid outbreak? Not his fault.
Rise in Crime? Not his fault.
That's not defending him? Shoot, Joe should put you on the payroll.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
The only thing that is his fault is the marines. Because he ordered the pullout from Afghanistan.
The rest of the stuff is not any individual person's fault, you know that, I know that, everyone knows that. It's okay, I won't ask you to admit it.
If you want to pretend that I am defending anyone, please go aheadComment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
So, you admit that Joe Biden is responsible for 13 dead Marines. That's good.
Now let's hold him to his own standard on Covid. Joe Biden stated the covid stats when Trump was POTUS and said that he needed to take blame for those numbers. Those stats were almost exactly what we have under Biden currently. I posted Joe's statement and the numbers in the Covid thread.
According to Joe Biden, shouldn't we blame him?Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
President Joe Biden on Thursday imposed stringent new vaccine rules on federal workers, large employers and health care staff in a sweeping attempt to contain the latest surge of Covid-19.
The new requirements could apply to as many as 100 million Americans, according to the White House, and amount to Biden's strongest push yet to require vaccines for much of the country.
"We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin," Biden said of Americans who still refuse vaccinations, casting his new measures as necessary to push the minority of the nation that still hasn't been inoculated into getting shots.
He said Americans who have received vaccinations were growing "frustrated" with the 80 million people who have not. And he acknowledged the new steps would not provide a quick fix.
"While America is in much better shape than it was seven months ago when I took office, I need to tell you a second fact: We're in a tough stretch and it could last for awhile," Biden said in his speech.
In his speech, the President directed the Labor Department to require all businesses with 100 or more employees ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested once a week. Companies could face thousands of dollars in fines per employee if they don't comply.
Biden has signed an executive order requiring all government employees be vaccinated against Covid-19, with no option of being regularly tested to opt out. The President also signed an order directing the same standard be applied to employees of contractors who do business with the federal government.
He also said he will require that 300,000 educators in federal Head Start programs be vaccinated and will call on governors to require vaccinations for schoolteachers and staff.
And Biden said he will require the 17 million health care workers at facilities receiving funds from Medicare and Medicaid to be fully vaccinated, expanding the mandate to hospitals, home care facilities and dialysis centers around the country.
"We have the tools to combat the virus if we come together to use those tools," Biden said at the outset of what was billed as a major speech to tackle the latest phase of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The new rules amount to the most dramatic steps to date to get more Americans vaccinated. Once cautious of vaccine mandates, the Biden administration is now wholly embracing them as vaccine hesitancy persists among certain groups.
The new rules come as the Delta variant tears through communities across the country, causing upticks in hospitalizations and deaths particularly in areas where vaccination rates remain low.
A potentially massive impact on the US workforce
Wide swaths of the American workforce could be impacted by the new rules, which would take effect over the coming weeks. The new "emergency temporary standard" from the Labor Department will require large employers to give their workers paid time off to get vaccinated. If businesses don't comply, the government will "take enforcement actions," which could include "substantial fines up to nearly $14,000 per violation, according to officials.
Officials said the standard was a "minimum," and some companies may choose to go further, including by mandating the vaccine instead of offering a test-out alternative.Comment
