Yikes. We know which mandate you were talking about.

Biden controls the executive branch. He literally cannot mandate anything to Congress. It's called separation of powers.

I love that you think the president has the power to mandate literally anything for Congress. Trump should have just ordered Congress not to impeach him! It was so simple. Why didn't he think of that!!?

You realize you are getting schooled about the very basics of civics by a Canadian here, right?

My confused American pal, you know you can just Google things, right?

Sad.

No, you still don't get it. Not sure if it's deliberate or you are just thick but I'm not wasting any more time trying to explain it to you.

Oh, I get it, Brian. You thought Biden had the authority to mandate vaccines for Congress but chose not to. It's right there in your post.

Did you forget you said that? Here, I'll remind you.

So, Brian. That mandate was for executive branch employees, because that's who Biden has authority over. He cannot mandate Congress do a dam thing any more than you or I could.

I hope that helped and you are no longer confused about why Congress was "exempt" from the vaccine mandates.

Again. No, that's not what I thought. Sheesh

My point was that Congress members were not mandated and federal employees were. That's it. Whether Biden or anyone had authority to mandate congress is not the point. The point is they were free to choose whether to get vaccinated or not. Others weren't.

And getting back to my original post, several hundred of those congress members (plus many of their staffers and family members) with covid were treated with Ivermectin and none of them were hospitalised.

GET IT?

You aren't fooling anyone.

Members of congress are federal employees.

And why did you find that an important point to make?

Cool. I had Chick-fil-a when I had covid and I wasn't hospitalized.

Get it?!

I mean you are either being deliberately obtuse or you really are that mind numbingly stupid. Those are the only two options.

Oh look, here's you claiming you weren't talking about the members of the executive branch.

It turns out you actually were and didn't realize it.

Because you have no idea what you're even talking about. The mandates you are referring to were specifically for the executive branch, not all federal employees.

No, it's the other option. You are lying and getting called out for it.

Ok. You've convinced me. It is the second option I provided, without a shadow of doubt.

Still claiming it wasn't members of the executive branch that were mandated, Brian, or have you "changed your mind" on that one?
