This is a political loser . I think the Dems are looking for the off-ramp.

HotAir

quote:

The President's mandate that all federal workers must be vaccinated has already gone into effect, although everyone was given a grace period to receive counseling and reconsider their decision not to comply. The first round of dismissals of the unvaccinated was slated to take place this week. But that entire process was thrown into disarray on Friday when a federal court issued an injunction against the mandate, saying that Joe Biden had overstepped the limits of his executive powers. Today, the White House ran up the white flag and indicated that it would abide by the injunction and not begin disciplinary proceedings against federal workers who still refuse to comply. This may not represent a permanent end to the issue since the decision is still being appealed, but at least those at risk of being dismissed are being given some breathing room. The real question is what will be done about those who were already adversely impacted by the planned mandate. (Government Executive.)


quote:

If the courts don't turn this around, we may have heard the last of this issue, at least for the federal workforce, and people can get back to going about their business. But that won't apply to everyone. Two groups of people in particular may wind up being incensed at the results of this "hurry up and wait" situation.


quote:

First, there are all of the people who thought they saw the writing on the wall and left their jobs to look for work with companies not imposing these types of restrictions. If the mandate is permanently dropped, will they be offered their jobs back? I somehow doubt it. And the years that they put in while planning on a comfortable retirement will have gone to waste for many of them.


quote:

And then there are the people who felt they couldn't afford to give up their government careers and finally caved and went to get a vaccination they did not want and perhaps didn't trust. What about them? Unlike a person's employment situation, the vaccine can't be "reversed." As we've discussed here in the past, once the person administering the jab finishes pushing in the plunger, that vaccine rapidly spreads throughout your body. It can't be taken back out.



"Oh, what a tangled web we weave...".
What a massive headache for this administration if the stay against the mandates is upheld.
This administration is like a tornado ripping through lives without regard to consequences, and when people eventually strike back, they recoil in feint wonder that we don't appreciate their efforts to save us.

That’s what happens when a turnip is unlawfully installed as a puppet president

This is what happens when you let the gnomes take over. Cannot believe no one has fired Fauci yet.

The temperature of the electorate has shifted from fear to disbelief in his administration dracionian measures. Once Delta and then Omicron started ripping through the vaccinated people started to wake up to this BS. If he continues to double down on this stupidity the red wave with be a be overwhelming.

That’s only assuming that massive voter fraud doesn’t happen again. I have no faith in our election system or the individuals in charge or monitoring them.

I honestly thought they would abandon all ,andantes before the Supreme Court ruled on OSHA, but they were too far down the rabbit hole.


They should lift all mandates ala UK and let people take care of themselves.

Their mixed messaging is getting comical, the DoD installation I work on as a contractor sent out a questionnaire yesterday about booster status, which we are required to answer... For obvious reasons, pre-selected answers were provided to chose from ..LOL

Yes
No
Decline to answer

The whole thing is falling down around them, courts shooting them down like clay pigeons, people in general don't care, etc... and yet half the gov't is trying to keep the nonsense going.

I thought liberals liked the freedom to choose. Apparently the only choice they respect is the murder of unborn children.

They only have ten months to convince us they are really the good guys and they have a plan. Dems are in pure panic mode.

Nor I

And I also do not believe these tyrants are stupid (biden is stupid = axiom. but those controlling him are NOT stupid. They know what they are doing) = this is all planned to get their evil shite done with Biden to blame - then they get rid of the turnip.

SO - how do they think they can survive? === another illicit election --- which is what worries the hell out of me - they MUST know they have the cheat in the bag - they are NOT stupid = they are just EVIL!!!!

No. Hell, there are bureaucrats in Washington just chomping at the bit to fire the people who refused to be vaccinated and didn't apply for an accomodation. They sure as hell aren't hiring anyone back that quit to avoid the shot.

The government loves to blacklist nonconformists when it comes to hiring.
