Yes, so let’s drag him for not doing it on day -53. Again, he hasn’t said he won’t do it by executive order and he has said that he wants to see it get done. Maybe give it 54ish more days before we make vacuous pronouncements about what he will or won’t do?
No one is dragging him for not doing it today. They are dragging him for saying he’s not gonna do it on day 1 and instead punt to Mitch McConnell.
He hasn’t actually said he wouldn’t do it though. He said his preference is for it to get done in a stimulus. No shit of course it is because they’re gonna sue to vacate it if he does it by executive order. But he hasn’t actually said he won’t do it by exec order if there isn’t congressional action. And I don’t know whether he will do it or not, but again your position is disingenuous as fuck as we sit here today.
Biden is going to suck. He will just suck in the regular method we are all comfortable with politicians sucking. He is much a progressive as he is a communist.
We should fucking drag him when he actually doesn’t do shit. Sitting here today, y’all are just making up shit that hasn’t happened yet to be miserable about.
For fucks sake. Folks have four years to bitch and moan. It's not too much to ask for the dude to actually get inaugurated first before it happens.
This is like a fan saying we can’t look ahead to Alabama because we have Vandy on the schedule this week. It’s like god damnit, we are fans and have no impact on the game, we can look ahead without fear in the interim.
The current president is still trying to pull off a joke of a coup in an attempt to undermine American democracy, but some people think getting upset about Biden hypotheticals is a good use of time.
An analogy as incongruous and disingenuous as every other pronouncement you’ve made on the subject this afternoon. Why stop now, I guess?
People can bitch and moan all they want. But just making shit up to bitch about is annoying. The guy has said he wants to see student loan debt forgiveness in the way that it’s most certain to a) pass legal muster and b) cover federal and non-federal loans. He hasn’t said he won’t go the executive order route if that’s not possible, so I’m not sure why anyone is making definitive statements.
You do realize you're losing your shit over unverified reporting, right? Claiming there's reporting contrary to his actual words is lazy and click baity. Fuck waiting for inauguration, how about waiting to see if he actually goes back on what he actually said before being that guy?
But isn't it much easier to get mad and make up shit he can't possibly do almost two months before he tales the job? Like you said, if he gets in and walk it back (which he could well do because he's a politician) then drag him directly to hell. But this conjecture based on reporting is dumb.
Yeah, the wife of an immensely popular former Senator of a swing state might get a position no one cares about or couldn't anyone in the position the last 20 years without Google. You aren't wrong though.
I can easily name the last Ambassador to the UK because he’s the owner of my favorite NFL team and I was happy when he got the job. Unfortunately, I have learned that the idiot owner is the smart one in the family. /rant.
After blowing up the deficit with entitlement programs for thr rich, the GOP aims to reduce the deficit by stealing from the poor.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/11/28/mcconnell-suspends-in-person-gop-lunches-440897 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will temporarily suspend in-person lunches for the GOP caucus, amid a nationwide spike in coronavirus cases. McConnell’s decision comes as the Senate’s seen a recent uptick in members contracting the disease. Both Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) have tested positive for the virus in recent weeks, while Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) announced she’d received a positive test before proceeding to test negative. McConnell informed the GOP caucus of the decision Saturday afternoon. Senate Republicans have been holding socially distanced lunches in the Senate Hart building since May. Senate Democrats, meanwhile, have held their weekly caucus lunches over the phone.
I feel like the ambassador to the UK is a far less important job than say the ambassador to Ukraine or Turkey, where they actually have important things to do and have to know stuff. Something comes up with the UK and the Secretary of State and President can pick up the phone and have someone answer pretty quick.
If getting two senate seats out of Arizona and the state turning blue requires sending Cindy McCain to some fancy dinner parties in London is the cost of doing business then I take that trade. And I'm no fan of John McCain or his family.
That is the thing though. If I could afford to buy an ambassadorship, I'd simply want to visit places and not have to read an email ever again that wasn't related to updates about when the pasta machine I order yesterday is expected to arrive.
Since we are on about ambassadors to the UK, I encourage you to read about the absolute dipshit Hitler sent trying to make an ally of his "Anglo-Saxon brothers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_von_Ribbentrop#Ambassador_to_the_United_Kingdom
don’t tell me you’d pass on being introduced at dinner parties as The Honorable chuckmasterflex (top hat and monocle optional)
Damn, that's is a hard sell. And the handle I made at 17 for some reason would make it all the sweeter.
I know that William Crowe was Ambassador to the Court of St. James in 1994 because I attended his swearing-in ceremony in one of the diplomatic reception rooms on the top floors of the State Department. Rode the elevator down afterwards with Richard Perle. Only person I've ever dealt with who could lower the temperature of a room just by being in it
