The federal foot under the healthcare tent will be a,
“big fuc#ing deal” and Slo Joe will ramrod it.

There is an underlying theme that will be detectable at several levels.

Liberals always believe that “one size fits all”. They have no respect for states rights, the rights of citizens to make their own choices in the marketplace, with masks or, with vaccines.

And now, it is obvious that the citizens are not allowed to be trusted to make choices in the voting booth.

Why should they? With the media at its side if things go well, it’s because of Biden. If it goes poorly, it’s because of Trump and his supporters. If it goes really, really well it’s because of Xi.

He was busy selling part of his driveway in DE to enlarge his property or some such nonsense. I forget where I read it but it was the dumbest thing anyone could imagine. We’re all suffering from TMI!!

Look at New York state as an example, Cuomo and his infinite wisdom basically said if you do a vaccinate anyone not on the approved list it’s $100,000 fine. We saw numerous reports of say a hospital getting 100 doses I was a vaccine, but only 70 people showing up to get vaccinated and because of his rules the other 30 doses were thrown in the trash Instead of being offered to other hospital employees or practically anyone else who wanted one.

Of course, let’s let the government run the vaccine distribution, we all know how well they run things like the post office, VA before Trump, etc.

In Connecticut, they were liberals online crying that States like Florida were using existing places where you can get things like the flu shot, including retail pharmacies, doctors offices, etc. Distribute the vaccine by the train professionals that already work there and are close by to the people.

Of course, for whatever reason, that was unacceptable and had a piece of government mandated saying in a giant parking lot where you sit in line in your car for hours we need to get your shot

As I recall, people like Harris and Biden Said the incompetent Trump administration couldn’t get a Vaccine Before the end of 2020 and maybe not even until mid 2021, and even if he did get one they wouldn’t take it now all the sudden loves a vaccine.

The acceptance of front line health care being vaccinated in California may be 50%.

So unless the hospitals have an alternate list of vaccine candidates. They have to dispose of the unused ones.

One DIL got her vaccine and her daughter did due to such a list. She runs an in house day care unit and her daughter has a rare muscular disease. They got calls from their local hospital and received the vaccine.

The theme is really this: The States and People are incompetent to run their own lives, so the federal government must seize all power and do all things. Your role is to obey.

Scenario 1: President Trump, adhering to the principles of Federalism, leaves it up to each state to determine how the vaccine should be distributed. When incompetent Governors totally fuck it up, President Trump gets blamed for leaving the whole thing up to incompetent Governors. Solution; The Federal Government should have usurped the powers of the states and mandated the vaccination protocols. Who is to blame; Trump

Scenario 2: The Federal Government usurps the powers of the states and mandates the vaccination protocols. The Federal Government totally fucks the whole thing up. Solution; it should have been left up to the Governors of each state, after all, they know what it best for their individual state. Who is to blame; Trump.

See how easy that is.

written by Ezra “journOlist” Klein:

Wikipedia: As of January, 2021, he became a columnist at The New York Times.
In February 2007, Klein created a Google Groups forum called “JournoList” for discussing politics and the news media. The forum’s membership was controlled by Klein and limited to “several hundred left-leaning bloggers, political reporters, magazine writers, policy wonks and academics.” Posts within JournoList were intended only to be made and read by its members...
The existence of JournoList was first publicly revealed in a July 27, 2007, blog post by blogger Mickey Kaus. However, the forum did not attract serious attention until March 17, 2009, when an article published on Politico detailed the nature of the forum and the extent of its membership...
Awards
In 2010, he was named Blogger of the Year by The Week magazine and The Sidney Hillman Foundation. In 2011, he was named one of the 50 most powerful people in Washington, D.C., by GQ. His blog was also named one of the 25 best financial blogs by Time magazine in 2011. In 2013, Klein won the Online News Association Award for Best Online Commentary. He also won the American Political Science Association’s Carey McWilliams Award, for “a major journalistic contribution to our understanding of politics.” He appeared as one of 80 men featured in Esquire’s 80th anniversary issue and in a feature in T magazine.

note FakeNewsMSM kept journOlist quiet from 2007 to 2009.
no surprise the man would win so many awards.

Liberal leftists blame others for their own failures. We shouldn’t have allowed Biden to win the election.

"the job has fallen to overstretched, under-resourced state and local governments"

Which is where the job belongs. Governors can have temporary clinics set up in empty school auditoriums and church halls (they'd be glad to do it), in addition to existing clinics and pharmacies. But Sleepy Joe wants to make it complicated and have the National Guard build new facilities.
