#16  It doesn't seem that there is a Federal solution on much of anything. As was said by Reagan, "Government is not the soution, it is the problem."

#15  Shifting blame, clearly.

#14  "Trump doesn't have a plan. I do." After blaming Trump for almost 2 years for not doing enough and almost a year of his lies and failures he claims it's not his job.

#12  "....saying the solution was solidly on 'state level.' "

Of course when Trump said something similar to that, he was excoriated.

#10  Of course not. There wasn't last year either. And as far as I can tell, everything that's been tried has just made things worse.

#9  ^ Manipulating and immiserating the proles is the core of their game. They won't give that up.

#8  Does this mean they're going to stop micromanaging away helpful medications?

#7  Meanwhile, Blue State normals are migrating in droves to DeSantis-Land. But on the QT so American Stasi doesn't get wind of their criminal behavior:,

When I announced our family was leaving New York and moving to Florida, a state with a governor who has led the way on sanely managing COVID-19, I received dozens of messages from New Yorkers considering the same move. When I asked several if I could quote them, they asked to use a fake name. They live in fear of being “canceled” for not being sufficiently terrified of COVID. Three vaccines and many new treatments do not seem to matter. We must live suspended in our fear indefinitely.

#5  'He's trying to avoid blame for his incompetence': GOP slams Biden after he said 'there is no federal solution' to combating COVID despite previously promising to 'shut down the virus' as cases hit highest level since January despite mask and vax mandates

#4  Your employment termination is not part of the solution, but you are being terminated regardless.

#3  That's going to make arguments before SCOTUS interesting.

#2  There is no federal solution, however, federal mandates are going to remain in place.

Got it?
