He edited his post after which changed the context.
We were taking about two different programs. I deleted another post talking about the subsidy for landlords program, because it referenced my job and I thought better of griping about it on a public forum.
Well goddamn, I checked for an orange edit thingie and evetything.
Seeing these clips of congressional Democratic leaders on the Sunday talk shows is absolutely infuriating. Goddammit to hell with all these useless fossils in charge of things.
Here are the ages of the highest ranking Democrats:
House:
Speaker - 80
Majority leader - 81
Majority whip - 80
Senate:
Minority leader - 69
Minority whip - 75
Assistant minority leader - 69
Are we ever going to be free of these clowns? I’m 41 years old and all of these people are older than my dad for fucks sake.
(By the way, Republican counterparts for these roles include 3 people in their 50s. Only McConnell is over 70.)
Meh. That is fine. They passed their bill. People on the left are so beaten down they’re incapable of rationality.
And you talk about how Republicans are all about projection.
Saying fuck you and leaving is probably better than the optics of Chuck and Nancy sniveling at Trump’s feet and not getting anything passed anyways.
Can’t wait for watevs and victoar to tells us why this is another awful Biden moment.
Wow. Genuinely surprised to hear this. Great move by the dems, for once.
God these people make it hard to defend them sometimes! This is such a bad look.
LolololololololDems forever and ever
PROGRESSIVE WING IS INCLUDED SO SHUT THE FUCK UP WHINY LIBTARDS
She should hold up her middle finger for 60 seconds
I don’t see this as a problem if they keep everyone short. (They should give Bill Clinton a hard limit.)
They have a chance to do a focused two-hour presentation each night. Bring in musicians to give performances. Make it an entertainment spectacle with political content. Beyonce. Bruce Springsteen. Taylor Swift. The cast of Hamilton. Leave out the boring stuff.
Leave the boring standard political conventions stuff. No politicians feeding their egos with face time. Hire a celebrity to serve as a host, maybe a different one each night. Monologue. First speaker of the night. Video package highlighting the theme for the night. Second speaker. Musical performance. Third speaker. A celebrity and politician introduce a video celebrating the life of John Lewis. And so on.
They are pre-taping speeches. They can have a tightly-run convention that caters more to casuals than to political junkies.
God damnit.
