think this is basically the final sticking point if the parliamentarian actually approves it then things get spicy
There are areas of Connecticut that are extremely red. Not so much the states rights kind, but poor whites who think the world has screwed them over by allowing immigrants and people of color to succeed. They try to claim that’s not it, but they’re not smart enough to do more than thinly veil their racism behind religion and limited government.
Oh so now we suddenly don’t care about the First Amendment? WELCOME TO JOE BIDEN’S COMMUNIST AMERICA!!!!
I think it passes budgetary standards personally (just a hunch) and then the fight begins whether you can get Sinema and Manchin to vote for it or it's negotiated down or thrown out completely
The politics of that I think will be too tough for them to sink it if parliamentarian OKs it Maybe I'm wrong and they're that deranged but this always felt like posturing for when they rule it ineligible. If they don't its a live ball as they say.
Update (2/22/21): CPAC has cancelled Young Pharaoh’s scheduled appearance following the publication of this article. Young Pharaoh’s information has also been removed from CPAC’s website. The theme of this year’s gathering is “American Uncanceled.”
That sucks. Hopefully, it allows advocates and groups to put maximal focus on passing it. I guess if it’s passed then you can point to a greater number of helpful leg from the Congress. That said, I’d rather not assume any victories.

All fun and games when it is Neera. Not fun and games when it is someone legitimately qualified and worthy of serving in the cabinet.
I lived through the Trump years but it’s impossible to remember how awful and unqualified that whole fucking admin seemingly was. Geez.
It’s so ridiculous, like u wanna cook Neera fine, but if he says no to Haaland it’s cause a firestorm for him because that’s gonna piss off everyone.
It’s gonna hit us all in different ways at different times until we’re dead. Just an insane bunch of lunatics (assuming they don’t retake the government and behave even worse which is a bad assumption).
He's probably going to whine about her policy regarding energy extraction on federal lands then confirm her. What a fucking asshole if he wants to stop her confirmation over no significant issues
Yeah, you probably can't sink two women of color nominated to the cabinet without that bouncing betty going off
did she get a discount on her logo design or was moving the first name inside the box enough to charge full freight?
I like doing this and inviting Tester to the Oval Office. Democrats are slow learners but any indication they are capable of the feat is nice.
B: Prime Minister Trudeau, nice to talk with you. What's shaking up there? T: Nothing much, President Biden. You get the card I sent? B: Yeah, very nice. Jill got a real kick out of it playing a Hail to the Chief when we opened it. T: Nice. My chief of staff had the tech boys cook that up. I guess we fight about milk and timber trade now? B: Ehhhh, I mean if you want.
