Do better. That is the message from some Senate Democrats to Joe Biden’s White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients. In a letter signed by the senators, they urged him to do better in their COVID response plan, present that plan to Congress and request additional funds if needed to contain the pandemic.
Two of the senators are Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. Do you think maybe Biden’s heavy-handed approach to twisting their arms over blowing up the filibuster rules in order to get voting legislation passed that gives federal control over all elections may have something to do with their participation? Who could blame them

The last thing we need is free kits to tell whether we have an asymptomatic infection with virtually zero risk of serious medical consequences and minuscule marginal risk to others. Mark my words: the only purpose of the testing frenzy is to keep the populace frightened.

If Brandon and his fellow democrat cronies keep annoying Manchin and Sinema they might decide to join the R team. That would put an end to all of the socialist agenda items.

Yes, he's responsible.
But, who cares? The tests are baloney, turn in positive if you test your transmission fluid, or a sample of lemon pie, I'll bet.
And if you aren't feeling sick, what in the heck are you "testing" for, and if you ARE sick.....you don't need a test to tell you that, do you? Since, EVEN IF YOU DO HAVE Wuhan flu.....they WILL NOT give you treatment in most places, why bother?
My doc has me set for early treatment if it becomes necessary, but I'm still not interested in their phony-baloney tests.

Test shortages? How about we get access to Ivermectin and HCQ? Congress gets it but we are not allowed? Freedom for all right? Here is the story they do not want you to see. Joe Rogan: Dr. Pierre Kory Said 200 Members of Congress Were Treated With Ivermectin Here is the link https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2021/10/26/joe_rogan_says_dr_pierre_kory_treated_200_members_of_congress_with_ivermectin.html

Saw a great picture last night, don't remember where, of a looooooong line waiting outside a mall in Toronto to get a COVID test. The captions was..."if you can stand in line for hours in the cold, you aren't sick". People are irrational.

Manchin and Sinema, you might seriously consider leaving the dim caucus soonest and announce leaving the dim party before you get tarred and feathered by them. A couple more rinos amongst the pubbie party couldn't hurt.

Reply #6 misses the point.
The reason delusional snowflakes stand in line for hours on a bitter cold day - - is to show that they're one of the cool kids - - part of the "in" crowd. It's a tribal initiation ceremony - - nothing more, nothing less.

POTUS Useful Idiot's time has expired! It's time to replace him. But that Kamala "Legs-In-the-Air" Harris has bit them on the arse. They really thought she could rise to the occasion, but alas, she's worthless. So, what to do?
Go to the psychopath graveyard and dig up Hilda Beast. I already have popcorn ready.

Money for Covid tests was approved in March of last year. However, purchase orders for the test kits were issued just last week! By the time they get distributed, this pandemic spike will be history. Too late!

This is called survival. Biden can offer them nothing politically. Supporting him is increasingly an electoral death sentence. Their state parties are likely pressuring them to "resist"...the '22 election is truly all about Biden. I've been block walking...and even the Dems have had enough of all this.

The headline should have been, "Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema get slandered for speaking truth to Biden."

The counting of cases at this time is pointless at this stage unless you want a statistic to scare people. We already know that it is wide-spread. The important statistics are the percentages of the population that require medical treatment, hospitalization, or die from Covid. The universal testing for Covid will greatly increase the case count, but nearly all of these will be those with little or no symptoms.
Counting cases is grossly misleading because every positive test result counts as a case.
If a person is tested 8 times, with positive result each time, that counts as 8 cases,
If a person with multiple life threatening diseases and tests positive for Covid, it counted as a Covid death case. And, to provide incentive to do this, hospitals get extra money for Covid cases.

Hey Arizona! Where is does your other Democrat senator Mark Kelly stand on the national election takeover by the federal government or the Build Back Better fiasco? For a former US Navy Captain and space jockey Kelly seems to be very comfortable supporting the socialist agenda of Schumer, Pelosi and Brandon. I have to give Sinema and Manchin credit for standing up for what's best for all Americans.

The worst thing that can happen to anyone in power is that no one fears them.
No one fears the Fraud.
