Young Trump supporters trolling Joe.

I doubt his handlers would let anyone within 20 meters of him unless they have done a visual inspection of them.

Him posing with children wearing opposition shirts is pretty harmless, and makes him out to be the good natured 'nuncle the mainstream media wants him to be, not the monster who drone strikes AID workers:

Or who forces unnecessary medical interventions on people.

To understand how big a potential loss this is for the United States, look beyond the headlines foretelling a Taliban air force. Look instead to the bespoke and relatively primitive pieces of command, control, and communication equipment sitting around in vehicles the United States left on tarmacs and on airfields. These purpose-built items aren’t nearly as invincible to penetration as even your own phone.

“The only reason we aren’t seeing more attacks is because of a veil of secrecy around these systems,” said Josh Lospinoso, CEO of cybersecurity company Shift5. “Once you pierce that veil of secrecy…it massively accelerates the timeline for being able to build cyber weapons” to attack them.

Lospinoso spent ten years in the Army conducting penetration tests against radios, small computers, and other IT gear commonly deployed in Afghanistan.

China can use the knowledge to develop their weapons and tactics, but also to give their arms-export sales team an edge, he said. The Taliban have highlighted their nascent partnership with China as perhaps their most important foreign diplomatic effort. China, meanwhile, has already begun giving millions in aid to the new regime.

Whatever vulnerabilities China does discover will likely imperil U.S. troops for years to come, Lospinoso said.

“There is a zero percent chance we will go back and re-engineer” all of the various systems with serious cyber vulnerabilities, he said. “We are stuck with billions and billions in weapon systems that have fundamental flaws.”

Something interesting about the mandatory employer vaccines, is that they pretty much shift all the legal liability onto the employer for the side effects.

Do any federal or state laws protect employers from liability if they mandate vaccination or offer a COVID-19 vaccine to their employees?​

We are not aware of any state laws that expressly provide immunity to employers who mandate the vaccine. However, on the federal level, the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (“PREP Act”) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to issue declarations that provide immunity from liability under federal and state law to “covered persons” for claims of “loss caused by, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from” the administration or use of “covered countermeasures” to diseases, threats and conditions.48 The Secretary has issued a COVID-19 PREP Act declaration that covers countermeasures to the virus, including the COVID-19 vaccine. Covered persons under the COVID-19 PREP Act declaration include “program planners,” which HHS has clarified includes private sector employers that carry out programs “with respect to the administration, dispensing, distribution, provision, or use of a security countermeasure or a qualified pandemic or epidemic product.” Accordingly, a health care employer or a private employer that provides a “facility to administer or use” the COVID-19 vaccine could have immunity under the law. While private workplace vaccination clinics are still not generally an option for employers, as vaccination supplies increase employers may have the opportunity to offer vaccines to their workers. It is unclear whether PREP Act immunity would extend to a private employer sponsoring a vaccination clinic run by a third-party vendor. The PREP Act does not provide immunity to employers who simply mandate or encourage employees to get vaccinated on their own without employer involvement (e.g., at a public vaccination site or from their own health care provider).
OSHA recently stated that it will not require an employer to record worker side effects from a COVID-19 vaccine through May 2022, whether or not the employer mandates the vaccine
https://www.akingump.com/en/news-in...cine-rollout-what-employers-need-to-know.html

Who is immune from liability from side effects:
The people who make the vaccine.
The people who "approved" the vaccine.
The government that mandates employers to require employees to be vaccinated. ('nuncle Biden and friends)
Any place that that administer the vaccine.
The doctor/nurse who administered the vaccine.

Who has legal liability for the side effects:
The employer that is forced by the government to require their employees be vaccinated.

In other words, the only people who can be held responsible for forcing someone to take a vaccine is someone who has committed the crime of employing more than 100 people.

You'll no doubt be scolding ya boi Tucker for his, "which seems sensible" take then, won't you, Kieppie?


Anyway...
Looked more like he was struggling not to laugh.

Anyway there are quite a few of her fans that defended her right to express her views or her choice. Very much doubt they are the Tucker crowd though.
That's separate from laughing at the reason for their decision dontcha think?

As usual Rupar post clips framed in his limited interpretation.
Lol at popeys weak attack on Glenn. I can see why you follow him.

“Big reaction on this. We’ll report on that tomorrow” - Tucker Carlson

Adorable how you turned attack into defence for a man who will spend *two* days reporting on a tweet.

PS. Love the usual attack the messenger, not the message you managed to squeeze in at the end there, Kieppie.

It's the consistency of your menu that keeps folks coming back for more.

Please tell us about the proper interpretation of Tucker Carlson, because we should all be careful not to misinterpret the words of someone who openly admits to lying on TV


Well, it’s—I guess I would ask myself, like, I mean I lie if I’m really cornered or something,” Carlson said. “I lie. I really try not to. I try never to lie on TV. I just don’t—I don’t like lying. I certainly do it, you know, out of weakness or whatever.

Sorry you forgo the right when you yourself regularly attack the messenger.
I don't even bother reading such attacks to be honest as they ring hollow.

Also I'm criticizing THEIR, and by extension your, attacks based on conjecture. Popey should know better considering his profession.

I'll make it easy for you.
Minaj is entitled to her view, however moronic it may be.

TheDailybeast using the term "punching down" yet they write smear pieces about people :ROFL:

Anyway see my response to Greg. I don't want to project my interpretation of what he might be thinking, much like what Popey did, but the rational explanation is the individual right to hold such a few even though its moronic.

But sure lets go with him agreeing with the claim instead...

No, Tucker was the one who used the term 'punching down', and also admitted that he does it, while condemning those who do it.

“I have done that, inadvertently over the years because I got carried away. But I really try not to. And everyone who works on our show is very aware of the most basic rule, which is don’t piss down.” he said. “Don’t attack people beneath you. If you’re gonna you know, take a punch, make sure it's upward—someone who is rich or stronger, more powerful, in charge of more things than you are. Punch up, like, that’s just a life rule. And people who punch down are the worst. They should have no power whatsoever, in my opinion.”

Some more proof that celebrities should not be listened to... Not even if you for some reason like their WAPs

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also, "attacks based on conjecture"?

Really?

Ken is straight up pointing and laughing at Tucker, Glenn and Fox for their Kieppie-esq predictability.

No more, no less.

I don't care much for perceived hierarchy. I will point out if someone less fortunate than me does something stupid, just as with someone more fortunate. Won't dogpile on the less fortunate person though. Perhaps that can also be considered punching down?

Anyway you focused on the wrong part of the reply.
I said that Trucker will most likely focus on her right to hold such a view not the substance of said view. Which is of course the correct view.

Man I am getting some SERIOUS bootlicker vibes from you. Why is it so hard to criticize anyone on your side? Why are you only ever capable of deflection?

You're little while later falls flat Greggy. The message is consistent.
People are entitled to their opinions, but that does not mean one should listen to them or take them seriously.

yes Popey could do with a bit of schooling in libertarianism.

Tucker: "Which seems sensible."

Everyone: Tucker literally said Nicki Minaj's tweet was sensible. Here he is saying it on video you can watch for yourself.
