Less than one month ago Q tried to convince trump to go along with their batshit plan to make him dictator for life and stormed the capitol when that didnât work and that narrowly failed and now theyâre denounced by the house of representatives and their rep had to weakly disavow it and still got thrown off committees and now is down to whining on twitter.
Nikki Milliotakis (from Staten Island) must be feeling pretty scared now for her future. She had voted against certifying the election.
Pundits speculating that her constituents wouldnât like her defending a 9/11 denier
Iâd spend money to make MTG the face of the Republican Party in any place that has had a school shooting incident.
Fucking Katko just fuck off
Got to imagine 9/11 denial had something to do with it.
Edit: my pony denied 9/11.
I posted this in the Greenwald thread but it should probably go here.
I mean weâll see what actually happens, but seems like good news.

I heard about Biden withdrawing Judy Sheltonâs nomination to the Fed. Iâm too tired to do a deep dive. Can someone cliffs this for me and tell me what Iâm supposed to think about it?
he should have already done it. judy shelton is just a a complete hack who advocates for whatever right wing wants at the time. like returning to the gold standard.

Well, why did he nominate her in the first place? There must have been a reason.
She was nominated by Trump.
Thanks. I knew there had to be some critical piece of information I was missing.
Why read the news when Iâve got my unstuck buddies?

Please donât hurt me for asking this - I tried to search but came up empty.
I know the consensus here is that âmeans testingâ is bad in the context of pandemic relief (and maybe other types of government assistance). Would someone be so kind as to giving a quick and dirty âfor dummiesâ explanation of why this is bad?
My knee-jerk thought is âof course rich folks donât need the 1400$â but Iâm certain this is a first level bad take. Ty!
Its more efficient to give it to everyone and then reclaim from higher earners via progressive taxes.

That is definitely a super easy to understand answer. So basically they can get the checks cut faster if they hit the âeveryoneâ mail merge rather than come up with some algorithms that split off the right âmeans testedâ group which would delay the payments. That totally makes sense.
Is there any serious argument that everyone should âget to keep the moneyâ without regard to their actual financial health?

In the short term? I guess that just treating it as a direct stimulus package for the economy and not taxing it back has some merit. In the long run its impossible for everyone to âget to keep the moneyâ because government expenditures have to theoretically be covered by government revenue someday. If youâre asking âcould we just throw it on the national debt and forget about itâ then the answer is probably yes, at least for a while.
