More fanfic about the amazing bipartisan bill that definitely has 10 R votes.
The months of arduous negotiations leading to last week’s agreement make up only the first hurdle. In coming days, the package must clear the Senate — where it garnered 67 votes in a recent test vote — and also survive the House, where many discontented liberals see the agreement as inadequate.
Imagine writing with a straight face that a bill has 67 votes in the Senate.
But Biden and others who say the parties can still cooperate in the post-Trump era claim the process so far validates their view. And how the White House nurtured trust with a group of pivotal Republicans offers some instructive clues on how it could lean on those relationships for other efforts.
“The president and his team have to be willing to invest the time and say no to the left — the far left — and Republicans have got to be willing to say no to the far right,” Collins said. “This really was built center-out.”
When has Biden said anything other than no to the left?
lol they really believe this deal is going to happen and let the GOP run out the clock for this years reconciliation attempt, taking away from dems an entire year to pass something.
Although totally possible Manchin and Cinema told them they won’t pass reconciliation without a deal from GOP, or at least them trying everything remotely possible to make it happen. That’s what Bernies legislative policy director made it sound like.
I will say I’m very confident Schumer knows whats up, he just can’t do shit because Manchin is forcing him to go down this road and he’s to weak and old to push back.
We really need a Caesar type character who is insanely brilliant and good and politics, without the whole wanting to be emperor thing. We need a super special talent who wants to make progressive changes.
Do WV voters really want “relief”? They don’t vote like it.
The just re-elected Capito, who is definitely worse than Manchin, by over 40 points. Trump also won WV by a bigger margin than any other state outside Wyoming.
As someone who has delivered things for 2’decades I can’t tell you the evidence
will be staring homeowners in the face.
Water is accumulating in yards.
Trash cans are routinely blown over resulting in areas being trashed up that were never that way before.
In the flightiest neighborhoods where they have decimated the trees birds are swarming and nesting on porches way more than ever. Bird shit piles are common now. Dragonflies are swarming. I can feel a substantial difference in temps on the ground compared to areas with more trees and shade.
I think the ruling class has decided letting climate change accelerate is a GTO move.
Should be no problem to motivate the 5 million (at least) people about to be evicted to show up at the polls and vote for Democrats come 2022. Well done, party of the little guy.
Say what you want about Trump, he turned out 10 million people who never voted because he actually did shit to make people feel like he was fighting for them. Obviously he was fighting for Nazi shit but he never would tolerate shit like this, he would have just said “executive order, evictions now illegal, suck it landlords:”
