So Rs want Biden to drastically scale back economic relief in the name of bipartisanship. Their offer is insultingly inadequate, and their claims that using reconciliation would "poison the well" are rich given how they rammed through the 2017 tax cut. But there's more 1/

Why, exactly, is bipartisanship something to be valued right now? When a political party by and large still won't accept Biden's legitimacy and embraces Jewish space laser people, why is it a virtue to cooperate with it? 2/

btw: for those who wondered about my use of the word "shrill"
This is the definition I thought I was conveying:

the definition of shrill is someone or something that is loud and high-pitched, or that is loud and forceful.

The offer from Senate Republicans meeting w/Biden today includes no state/local govt aid

People in Russia are rioting to get rid if a dictator. People in US rioting to put one in.

They stormed the Capitol to overturn the results of an election they DIDN'T vote in

"Many involved in the insurrection professed to be motivated by

patriotism, falsely declaring that Trump was the rightful winner of the

election. Yet at least eight of the people who are now facing criminal

charges for their involvement in the events at the Capitol did not vote

in the November 2020 presidential election, according to an analysis of

voting records from the states where protestors were arrested and those

states where public records show they have lived. They came from states

around the country and ranged in age from 21 to 65."

Stacey Abrams nominated for Nobel peace prize

The voting rights activist was nominated for her work to promote nonviolent change via the ballot box, by Lars Haltbrekken, a Socialist Party member of Norway’s parliament.

“Abrams’ work follows in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s footsteps in the fight for equality before the law and for civil rights,” he said. King won the Nobel prize in 1964 and remains among its most famous laureates.

“Abrams’ efforts to complete King’s work are crucial if the United States of America shall succeed in its effort to create fraternity between all its peoples and a peaceful and just society,” Haltbrekken said, according to a report from Reuters.

The Norwegian Nobel committee, which decides who wins the award, does not comment on nominations, but nominators can choose to reveal their picks. The 2021 laureate will be announced in October.

Embarrassing! Alan Dershowitz Nominates Dip-shit Jared Kushner for Nobel Peace Prize

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz, were nominated by a friendly attorney on Sunday for the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in negotiating four normalization deals between Israel and Arab nations known as the “Abraham Accords.”

..........

Nominating the pair of former deputies to then-President Donald Trump was American attorney Alan Dershowitz, who was eligible to do so in his capacity as a professor emeritus of Harvard Law School.

Kushner, who is Trump’s son-in-law, and Berkowitz, who was the Middle East envoy, were key figures in negotiating deals between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco.
