1. They should have used a 14g needle...

[Cirque du So-What]

5. Intraosseous

Sans anesthesia.

[JanMichael]

13. That would split their tiny arms in half. nc

[ProfessorGAC]

20. They Make 6 Gauge

Why are you so compassionate?

[hlthe2b]

21. I guess I had "horse's ass" in mind...

Actually, I'd never use larger than an 18g on any horse but "little Marco? Lindsey?"--all bets are off.

[Tanuki]

2. I'm not saying....

[BainsBane]

3. Democrats are also getting the vaccine ahead of healthcare workers

The entire policy is repulsively anti-egalitarian, and that is as much true for the Democrats whose privilege is defended here as it is for these asshole Republicans.
The fact is all people are not equal in America, and very few care about that.

[mopinko]

4. and you cant see the difference?

[BainsBane]

6. The difference is in their policy positions on COVID

But the practice that puts congress ahead of the vulnerable is disgusting and symptomatic of a truly corrupt society. Some are comfortable with inequality; in fact they even champion it. I am not among them. People can maintain an ideology that puts the few over the many, but they should be honest about their values.

7. I'm fine

with our leadership getting it i.e. Biden, Harris, and Pelosi (they deserve to get it because they’re in line to be our next executive) but I don’t think our rank and file Congress people should jump the line unless they’re in a high risk group.

[BainsBane]

9. I agree.

Protecting the continuity of government makes sense. The rest is elitism, pure and simple.

[mopinko]

8. i have no problem w it. continuity of govt right now is important.

it's not like there are a million of them.

[BainsBane]

10. 535

and it has absolutely nothing to do with continuity of government.

[LizBeth]

17. I agree Bains, I had that reaction watching a young healthy Democrat getting that vaccine.

Should have gone to medical or old people in homes or someone else in much higher risk. Then I was told a single person in congress of 5 hundred and something is more important than the rest of us for the continuation of governing. Seeing a young, healthy person getting the shot is hard.

[BainsBane]

18. Those arguments certainly do reveal

who people are at their essence, and it's sometimes very different from what they claim.

[LizBeth]

19. Here is the thing after more time in the conversation and more people stepping in having the same

conversation I was having, it had me considering that people were actually arguing that a 20,30 something, healthy woman's life was more important than all of us though her risk of death very very very low or any other issue but a bit of illness. Lol

While I was trying to explain no not hate, but an instant reaction to seeing young and healthy getting a shot, as I did not know if UI would be extended for months, a WEEK away from being on the street with no incoming $, having lost my job at an hotel cause covid, nothing I did, while being old at 59 and no one is going to hire me with 100-150 apps sent in for one job leaving me with customer service and high risk.

Now this is their argument. And I am saying, but I taught my kids to consider others, like they would simply be saying, others need that vaccine, that simple. Or being responsible following rules for 9 months because flatly, they do not want to kill old people. Basics. The expectation I have from young adults is, Will mask, 6 ft, wash hands and isolate, give the vaccine to another. Right?

And that concept is so very foreign, that not a single person pointing the finger at me saying, hater, could understand where I was coming from, so yes. Really revealing and a lot ironic and confirms what a lot of us say about the divisions even in the Democratic Party.

[blueinredohio]

11. Ok,ill say it. They're a bunch of fuckers.

[Deuxcents]

12. And I'll second that

[BannonsLiver]

14. Well if we're going to cheer for AOC and the like when they get it I see no difference here

Privileged is privileged whether it has an R or a D in front of it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. "AOC and the like" did NOT use propaganda and the power of their office to DENY covid and masks.

[BannonsLiver]

25. Whatever, dude. I didn't either. Way to miss the point, though.

Turns out I’m not alone.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

26. You said, "I see no difference". "dude"

[samnsara]

15. im OK with this..there needs to be continuity of government...

....and besides if theres anything that will go wrong, they will test it out first

[Blue Owl]

16. Fuck both of those assholes

[Irish_Dem]

22. It is an obscenity and disgrace. nt
