If he wanted to build Bernie up he could’ve said things a lot differently. For one, he could’ve said I’m not a democratic socialist. I hate him right now.
I may be staying off a little more, partly because of my shoulderneck/ear thing (ear aches are the worst !) and partly because I can’t believe that they couldn’t pass a talking filibuster if they had done more work in peoples media states and threatened with other things. It just goes to show you how very corrupt the whole damn body is. They do not want to talk about what’s in their legislation because they know and they have known for Years who it benefits.
Right, call me stupid, Doocy as in Doozy.
Nope Byedone isn’t Bernie, never will be not even close. Byedone sold out a long time ago to craprate America. I have to admit Berine would have to deal with the same 52 dipshits Byedone has and have the same problems getting things done if he were president.
if that vote was on a “talking filibuster “, then the Dems and the media did not do their job. The whole argument of mansion and cinema was that it was an ancient practice, that filibuster. We had the talking filibuster fairly recently and if we had panned out and shown their hypocrisy we could’ve passed that, imho
I choose to cry instead of raging ineffectively.
I know your feeling, pb4. Recently, I’ve put his on blast when I want to rage –
And I pull this up when I want to cry.
Excellent tunes, Ain’t…. You wouldn’t believe the vinyl collection I have of jazz fusion BEFORE it was co-opted into smooth jazz. 🎶🎶🎶
Yes, I would believe. I also preferred jazz fusion to smooth jazz. Enjoy.
thank you! suhweeeet. ✨💫🐋
Byedone is a corrupt senile joke, and was forced down our Progressive throats. Harris is even worse. And the GOPukes? 💩💩💩💩🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮This is what Craporate Fascism looks like, folks. The young folks better get with it.
Of course, he’s a politician so who knows if he actually believes that or is just trying to make Republicans look unreasonable while he is the reasonable one. A lot of voters lap up that bipartisan crap.
One thing for sure, he certainly wasn’t prepared for Manchinema’s “stalwart effort.” But that goes for all of Dem leadership, especially Schumer.
I’d say “he’s a politician …” Besides, his agenda is the same as the rethug agenda and he’s had decades in congress advancing that. As he promised while running, nothing will fundamentally change.
Schumer dances to the same corrupt tune as Manchinditzema.
Oh he was prepared. It was Sanders et al who were not.
Does anybody believe Biden’s not ok with what’s going on here?
I disagree with the premise that voters lap up the bipartisan crap. No, the only ones who lap it up is the press.
more and more, anyway. But I do know some liberals with hearts of gold, basically, who do love the bipartisan junk. It’s why they hated Bernie and loved biden and obama and that crowd. Even if they didn’t hit Bernie, I know people who were sure Biden was better because he could do more because he wasn’t honest and argumentative. And yet Bernie is the one who actually did more for the people and does more for the people
But definitely the press builds it up and reinforces it in so many freaking ways.
He’s semi-senile for crissakes!💩💩🤮🤮
I think outlawing stockholding would be really difficult. Outlawing trading is more attainable. Besides they aim to stop different things. Outlawing trading would stop reps from using inside info to enrich themselves. Outlawing holding aims to stop reps from voting their personal interests instead of national interests. But that would hold the same for wealth.
Yeah, so what?!
Markey is on board with this. Of course, since no Republicans support meaningful climate action, this presupposes that Manchinema is on board with this. A big IF.

Why does the MSh1tM aka NYT keep harping that it’s going to be a GOPuke wipeout in November? Who knows what will happen then? We have got some MAJOR beyond insanity GOPukes running here. There is no guarantee these aholes will win. The GOPukes have been screwing with voters down here for decades, and a lot of people are pissed!
This is why the clown corporate press barked on command about this. One of the few good things Biden has done.
Just wait until quite a few of them crash rigs. Bet on it.
Something nice

Paywalled, anything good here?
Actually I think he understands all too well.
Me, too. That’s why I’m worried about where’s his successor in the Senate?
No shock. Also unsurprising that the Northeast states, California, and Hawaii have the strongest gun laws and lowest rates of gun deaths.

Well, hel-lo! Duh?! 🙄🤪
Nooooo kiddin’!
T and R, and thanks as always for manning our Nest, Ms. Benny!!☮️😊👍 I am voicing out a shoutout to LD. Where is he and JD? We have to have more young folks show up and help out. I can only speak for myself. I am not young and it is now transferring to the young per Natural Law to right things.
Which leads to the next question: why? More often than not, it’s because people on TV who look like them say it’s the fault of people who don’t look like them. And they actually buy it.
yes. media holds it together as truth. skillfully i guess imho, not sure how some of us got lucky and sussed out the game earlier than some others. Or not Lucky. lol
Well pb4, we know how to read, think, and understand basic common sense. IMNSHO.😊
