not too big. Even the Repub gov of the state said he wanted a big package. Manchin has been hanging around Mitch and Susan too long. He doesn't seem to get that all the Repubs want to do is water down and obstruct like they did during the Obama years. We're in an emergency, it's not time for austerity, which the Repubs only want so they can 'make Biden a one term president' like they tried to do to Obama. F that noise.
Biden clearly sent Kamala in to AZ and WV to light a fire under the asses of these conservative Dems and to build support for a big relief package. It was Biden sending the message that he's in charge and is not going to be obstructed by some silly 'gang of bipartisans' like in the Obama era.
There's no way this Sandy Hook truther can serve on the Education Committee,
as it would be an insult to all of those families who lost loved ones in these massacres. Dems must move forcefully ahead and strip her if McCarthy won't do it. It's an unprecedented move but thoroughly justified. In order to defeat Trumpism we must enforce democratic norms and basic decency. If we fail to do this we become the proverbial frog boiling slowly in the pot until it's too late to jump out.
This is part of the problem with our criminal justice system,
in that some black guy selling cigarettes or passing a counterfeit bill gets the 'death penalty by cop' but whites like this who participated in an insurrection are treated and viewed delicately by the law. There needs to be much stronger laws against domestic terrorism, in the way that RICO put an end to the mafia that also used to skirt around laws before it.
Fool me twice shame on me.
The Repubs exploited Obama's genuine desire for bipartisanship. They delayed, obstructed, pretended - just so the final bill would fail or be so watered down that voters would view Obama as ineffective.
We need to dunk on these fuckers and show them who's boss. As McTurtle himself said 'Elections have consequences.'
Process is quickly forgotten but results are forever.
If Biden beats the pandemic and saves the economy nobody is going to give two shits about how he did it. Dems will simply look good and we'll easily hold the WH and expand majorities in Congress.
The Repubs are the Seditionist Party and not to be trusted in any way. Their only goal is to run the same playbook they ran with Obama ie obstruct, weaken and then whine and then ride it to big gains in the Senate and House. F them - Biden needs to strongarm Sinema and Manchin and pass the Covid rescue via Reconciliation with Dems alone. The Repubs passed tax cuts for the rich via the same process and were able to sell it as a 'win'. That's all voters care about is 'wins'. F bipartisanshit.
This was an orchestrated coup attempt and we need a thorough
impeachment trial that pulls back the lens and looks at all of the events surrounding the 1-6 attack - not just the day itself.
It doesn't matter how long it takes or if Repubs vote to impeach or not. This is our chance to lay the facts on the table and stand up for democracy ... we may not have many other chances should the Seditious Right continue to gain power in this country.
+1. As Steve Schmidt says we can't afford to lose an election
because it could be the last. In America we have a pro-democratic party (Dems) and an autocratic party (Repubs) and the fight is really between those of us who believe in democracy and those who do not.
Greene and Boebert are the typical Karens
just a little more crazy and dangerous.
But it's the same basic phenomenon that exists amongst a large section of middle aged (gen-x) white women that many have talked about for years now. They seem to view power/empowerment with imitating RW white men.
These Q-Karens are the biggest wannabes.
Their entire act seems to be about emulating RW militia white men - who would take all of their rights away in a second if they could.
The only reason these women have any rights is due to the very liberalism they crusade against.
Agree with Sherman. Biden doesn't need an unstable market now.
Reddit (and similar boards) have always been a haven for the alt-right and alt-left, who would love nothing more than to create chaos for the Biden admin. Why didn't they pull this stuff during Trump's admin? That's your answer right there.
