    so do people think that political leaders should be first in line, or even close to first? I get the prez and prez-elect getting it. But a congressperson? why? I don't believe canadian senators and provincial premiers are getting them. My premier has already stated he's anxious to get it, being 65+ with asthma, but he will wait his turn like everyone else. Why the hell is AOC getting it first?
    I’d rather see elected officials being the example over movie stars on important matters.

    Yeah, but I never argued for celebrities to get it first, just for public figures to publicize when they do get it, and I specifically mentioned high ranking politicians.

    That would have made sense to me if she had waited until her age group got it...but now she just seems like an elite self-righteous typical politician in my opinion.  “I’m more important than you, so I am jumping the line” is all I get out of her actions.

    If she comes across with that approach then she will get roasted.

    No where close to first. Except for a few key leaders (by position, nit specific people)

    I'm of two minds about this. I get that a lot of people may need to see that people in authority seem to trust the vaccine, and this normalizes the idea of getting vaccinated. If none of those in government got vaccinated conspiracy theories would flourish even more than they already do. However, I don't think that outweighs the fact that all of these early doses should be going to the highest risk people.

    I think the continuity of government argument is bullshit in this instance. 
    Both minds posted too...crazy! ;)

    Maybe Matt Getts will forgo his vaccination and let you have it instead? An act of charity? Raffle it off as a fund raiser for the repub party? Auction it off? Who’s in and what’s your highest bid? 

    Merry Christmas, by the way.

    “No use for politicians,” “voting for or supporting a politician is morally bankrupt,” or whatever the expression was. They’re all the same seems to be the sentiment and they all suck. Nothing could be further from the truth. People have bought in on the mantra and seemingly, would prefer a theocracy, with a shit bag leader like Tricky Team Trump TREASON Tax Cheat instead. What color handbag did AOC have with her when she was inoculated and did it match her shoes, and were they flats or heels?

    Why?  I think the President, VP and House leader should have it regardless of their age.  After that, everyone else falls into the citizenry.

    I don't remember that.  But I don't think anyone that isn't in the direct line of the president should be ahead of a citizen, other than it being related to age or health risk (which should be the same for a normal citizen).  I get the concept of leading by example, but not sure AOC fills that bill.  The Black community is the most likely to not take the vaccine (other than crazy Bill Gates conspiracists) because of the rightful distrust they have from the history of Blacks being used like fodder for experiments.  So having someone like Obama take it, or other leaders in the Black community would be really important.

    If AOC were part of House leadership, it would be warranted. But in AOCs case, no way. It proves the land of the free is a joke. The next few months will be an endless parade of the wealthy and entitled jumping the vaccine line.

    If you're talking about the last line. It's already been pounced upon and widely taken out of context by both social and mainstream media to keep driving in that wedge.

    Just the facts: She was referring to the disembodied voice that belonged to the officer, not the officer himself. 

    But who's going to click on/be outraged by that?
