It’s transparent and being called out in state after state. So wtf exactly is the US Congress doing? I suppose waiting for stares to pass a bunch of shit and reaching a critical mass and ultimate crisis is better for the ratings. The House should be handwringing the senate every day that they’ve passed a bill.
He went after Biden and incorrectly called him out on something that Biden did not say and then kind of hinted that Biden had already forgotten what he said, after that he was toast. The media stopped giving him any time and all the talk about him was about that mistake.
Yup that's what I was rembering. He wasn't a bad candidate but he was sunk as soon as he leaned into that angle about Bidens age. He's hopefully got a future in the party though
I got contacted by a recruiter for this place a little while ago to work there as a software developer. Definitely framed it as some fluffy BS how this helps tenants but when you look into it it just seems a way for tenants to possibly get some deposit help but then likely fight Rhino later if your landlord wants to charge you on damages.
the SALT cap debate is so niche you never see good writing on it it seeeeems like it definitely dissuades states from taxing their populace vs SALT deductions incentivize it. so it ends up just dinging blue states that actually try to do things. would read more on it though.
Poses the questions: Is it better if you have the president call your mom on Mother’s Day and have her not answer? It is certainly funnier.
First 100 day job approvals, heavy on Gallup for the early ones and an RCP average for recent ones. Carter 63% Reagan 67% Bush I 58% Clinton 55% Bush II 56% Obama 63% Trump 45% Biden 54%
Yeah. I remember that coming later but I was basically drunk throughout his whole presidency. I can’t recall what he did during the first 100.
Almost no big legislation that I can think of comes in the first 100 days. Whether it’s Social Security, Civil Rights Act, Bush tax cuts, ACA, etc. I think those were all outside of 100 days.
So if the Republicans break the trifecta we’re looking at civil war and if they regain control democracy is over? I really hope that’s not the case
And we really aren't even having a conversation about it. Same as Russia in '16. Sure, the MSM will replay the riots at the Capitol ad nausem to get views/clicks, but the looming threat in '24 should be talked about every day of the week by the Ds and whoever cares about democracy.
A few of us have been lectured in this thread that Sinema and Manchin will obviously come around to this, but there's been no fucking evidence still that they will.
can one of the Virginia posters explain this GOP drive thru convention with "weighted" voting and why/how its dangerously close to nominating the Insurrectionist candidate
was actually an effort to try to stop Chase by the old guard Republicans, but basically it’s a cluster and the party membership is exceedingly polarized.
