There will be methods to report your seditious activities to the 1/6 insurrection inquisition.


Prove that I am being seditious.

Making kids eat their vegetables is not punishment... it's pressuring them to do something which is good for them.

It's the same principle here... Biden is applying pressure on the obstinate lunatic antivaxxers because it's good for them to get vaccinated. And it's good for others as well, because the non-vaccinated are negatively affecting the lives of the vaccinated.


So what's the takeaway when the executive branch teabags the corpse of state and local governments, the legislature and judiciary in order to unilaterally ban large sodas and junk food and mandate every American to eat a serving of vegetables at every meal or else lose their job and be given large fines. After all, obesity is the true #1 killer of Americans, and the real story behind the Covid-19 death rate.

Oh, and it also happens to give him political cover, which is a nice benefit.


And if *I* think giving you a good beating will do you some good? Can I do that?

Is that the core objection... slippery slope arguments?

Its an unconscionable move and you are a garbage person for cheering fascism

ironically this reichstag fire-tier edict strongly affects the biden voter (minorities, newer immigrants, and young people), which is made up of several groups that largely lag behind the average in vaccination rates.

the guy said he would shutdown the virus instead its “comply or die in the name of democracy” :rofl:

The constitution doesn't give slopes, it gives cliffs. Its articles and amendments are absolutes, not guidelines. Either the executive has an authority or it doesn't. If the executive can do anything he wants with no regard for checks and balances or jurisdiction, then the constitution is just a piece of paper.

If you really think that's how it works you probably failed history class.

I missed the part of history class where they taught the 2020 ascension to the throne of Joseph Biden, First of his Name, by the Grace of God, King of America, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Defender of the Faith, etc.

TBH, it will be interesting to see how SCOTUS (assuming a case based on this decision today makes it to their docket) interprets Jacobsen v Massachusetts, since that case applies to a state's right within its own borders. This is nationwide.
