President Biden is finished trying to persuade Americans to get their shots — now he's trying to force them to do it.

President Biden to the unvaccinated: "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us."

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) September 9, 2021

Best case scenario: This ends up being like the smoking bans in cities and states, where there were libertarian objections but now widely embraced.

Worse case scenario: This hardens opposition to vaccinations among the holdouts, and becomes a job-hitting political food fight.

I'm done with people who aren't vaccinated. They are the problem. They are filling up hospitals and making it hard for the rest of us to get proper care. It's not a conspiracy. It won't change your DNA. The microchip gives people better cell service. 😊

President Biden: "The Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure that their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week."

OSHA doing this vaxx mandate as an emergency workplace safety rule is the ultimate work-around for the Federal govt to require vaccinations.

— Stephanie Ruhle (@SRuhle) September 9, 2021

Good to see Biden placing blame for the Covid resurgence partly on *public officials* who are abusing their official status to discourage vaccines, and speaking to the values and aspirations of the pro-public-health silent majority.

A setup to taking control of the politics. https://t.co/OgPcYtsdCb

Biden’s vax plan is kind of ingenious. Nominally it’s not a bad vax mandate. You can do weekly testing. But good luck finding employers who want to take on the administrative overhears, let alone cost of testing you once a week.

Brexit & the shrinking of the UK in every dimension:
"British Council to shut offices in Europe & beyond – Cultural and diplomatic institution to close offices in 11 countries from Belgium to the United States."
Such shortsightedness would be literally incredible- but for Brexit.

The sheer amount of media space the DUP & it’s various dramas have been given over the last few months is so completely out of balance with the 13% it’s currently polling. Kinda rewarding bad behaviour there.

It makes my skin crawl, how Johnson Government & DUP – having conveniently forgotten their own direct & primary responsibility for all NI's Brexit problems – now cynically amplify each other's Protocol hysteria, even to point of risking to topple devolution. Reckless & indecent.

Time to stop indulging this tiresome bluster from DUP

Four options if don’t want Protocol

1 UK asks to rejoin CU & SM as 3rd country
2 UK asks to rejoin EU as Member State
3 NI rejoins EU through reunification with ROI
4 Hard border- threat to GFA

So DUP which is it to be?
