Joe Biden, not the brightest bulb in the box, has unwittingly declared war on his own political base.
What else to make of his mandatory vaccine diktat for the federal workforce, which came out yesterday, demanding that 2.876 million federal workers be vaxxed for COVID, or else.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced sweeping new pandemic requirements aimed at boosting vaccination rates for millions of federal workers and contractors as he lamented the “American tragedy” of rising-yet-preventable deaths among the unvaccinated.

Does anyone know the percentage of blacks in the federal workforce? It has to be very high.

I was reminded of something when contemplating the forced vaccinations. I remember the fear back in the 80's regarding those with HIV/AIDS. Nobody was 100% sure how it spread, but it would sure kill you. But remember the movie "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks? His law firm fired him because they were afraid of him spreading it to them. But the message the movie tried to make was that it was wrong to fire him. Well, here we are with something far less deadly and the attitude sure has changed. Just goes to show libs will tell any lie to suit their purposes.

#1 read, the article. It tells you..."According to FedWeek, citing a 2016 study..."
In my suburban Houston county, there is one area in particular that s avoiding vaccination. Yes, it is minority. Largely black, to be specific. The county has decided to invest $345,000 in Federal money to "better serve" this community that was overlooked...by our minority county government leadership, including a black public health director and black county council member. The excuse was that these people were "uninformed" as to the virus and where to be tested or vaccinated. In other words, their own failed The Community. While Republicans squawk about coercion, this is a made to order issue on which to campaign. Will they?

According to schmoe “you ain’t black” if you don’t do what you’re told.
But as usual, there’s never any discussion about what’s good for people- beyond marketing/propaganda talking points; just who has the power and what are the political ramifications for the power possessors.

I'm not sure the Feds can pull that one off. It is difficult to fire a Fed, and refusal to take an experimental vaccine with unknown long-term effects doesn't sound like a valid reason, especially for those with acquired immunity from having had COVID. I may be wrong, but I'd expect that other Federal unions will join the Postal Workers in fighting this mandate.

Going to be tough for 'You-Aint-Black' Joe to target minorities for the Vax push. Mush easier to target whites and Republicans.

Wait until the Government Workers Unions have their say. Then we'll know how this will play out.

This is all about permanent paper ballots and voting by mail. The tactics of scaring the cringing public into submission with a deadly virus has to be put in place before the next election. Blacks won't comply and Biden is picking a fight with his own people now.

As far as I can see, Biden's only two accomplishments in his 48 years of life are making himself a multi-millionaire and making his son a multi-millionaire. Maybe I ought to sign up to support Joe. Perhaps he might make me a millionaire too.

Poster #11, don't forget his brother, his sister and 'doctor' Jill. They also became millionaires. Bumbler is a family man, if nothing else.

Vaccine refusal among the Black population group is why everyplace you go in public you see a lot of Black people wearing masks. The reason for that is Democrats political propaganda aimed at that easily politically manipulated paranoid population group that started back during the last year of the Trump era, when Black people were warned by the Democrat operatives and politicians not to trust any vaccine supported by Trump, that might even contain some sort of “chip” that would allow the “White Supremacists” to gain control of the Black population of the USA.

Love how the Democrats keep pointing things out that most never even considered before.
Take this current issue, they see a large percentage of their Federal workforce as refusing to take the vaccine "jab", and as per the article, people are learning how many Federal workers there are, and how many are from certain minority groups, in particular.
If we have 330,000,000 million citizens in the United States, and there are 2,876,000 Federal workers, that comes out to 1 Federal worker for every 114.75 citizens.
And that's just Federal workers, just imagine how many City, County and State workers there are too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the government mandating (forcing) people to submit to medical experimentation a violation of the Geneva Conventions? You know, as in why they haven't been able to force members of the military to submit to such experimentation?

The Democrats are purging the right from the federal workforce, and will replace them with leftists. The Democrats are also dividing and conquering the right into those vaccinated, and those that are not. The strategy is working. You are the target.

My neighbor is retired DoD and has told us for fifteen years how overwhelmingly democrat the agency is. He said if you are a federal employee its best to be underground Republican and many have found that out the hard way. It ain’t my Daddy’s DoD anymore.

Well #7, if the basic Constitutional rights of average public sector employees are okayed by our government to be force vaxxed, then it will be hard to say one special group does not have to. I doubt that will fly with freedom-loving Americans. The military have been forced forever to be government guinea pigs. This would be a good time to have all this decided in court. Unfortunately, with courts as they are today?

#1, I don't know the percentage but I (having worked there and retired) can tell you that there are a large number of Morons that couldn't hold a real job if their life depended on it. I always felt like sort of an outsider...I didn't do any of the illegal and/or Stupid stuff that lots of Civil Servants do every day...Yea there are some good people, but from my experience they are small in number, my guess less than 20%.
