12.1-2 Open Threads
Hola, everyone! 🙂 Wow, it’s nearing the end of 2022. 2023 will be a very interesting political year (to put it mildly). We Progressives have added to our ranks in the House. My neck of the backwards woods helped in that cause. (Insert thumbs up image.) It really is difficult to swallow how badly this nation has deteriorated in the last several decades. This RR workers situation is an excellent example. 🙁 The Nest is Open. All aboard!
I really hope the Senate keeps the 7 paid sick days / year part of this deal!
If they don’t it will be another shooting in the foot episode for the “Dim’s”!
If Bernie can get enough Senators to hold out for this it will at least be “palatable”.
I had 20 paid sick days / year from “Satanco”.
When I worked there we all used every single one of them!
Slow resignation before it was a thing.
Our Morocco trip was great fun.
We had coffee and sweets on the terrace of Cafe France overlooking the El’Fnna square.
I drove on crappy little roads all over the High Atlas Mountains in a rental car.
Then made it through hellish traffic going across town in Marakech to return it.
Fes was nice we had a place with an outdoor patio.
Listening to the calls to prayer roll through town surrounded by mosques was great.
See photo of street musician in Marakech medina below.
Wow, what a great trip, jbob! And, always good to see you, too. 🙂 I’ll tell ya, my late parents (NASA folk back when the Administration begin) would be shocked into speechlessness over how disastrous workers’ rights have been destroyed. No paid sick days?? Especially in jobs that are hazardous like what a lot of RR workers perform? Mom was an early ERAer, and FDR Demo to her core. Dad was an Eisenhower Republican who despised Trick the Dick Nixon, and bolted the GOPukes.
Definitely the first part is true but Republicans‘ words can’t outflank when they will vote against the 7 days.
We know and Bernie knows the answer. But the current negotiation is why Bernie can’t assume the chairmanship of HELP fast enough. The current chair hasn’t done much to bring sunshine to this issue.
The current chair is a corrupt so-called Dimocrat.
Fingers crossed but in the end probably will fall just short. McConnell will allow yes votes for senators who it might benefit short of the 10 needed.
Lobbying is just a BS name for craporate, legal bribes.
This crap has been going down easily since Ronbo Raygun got in.💩💩💩💩💩
Marco Rubio ain’t no working class champion. He’s a Spic/Cuban thief and a bad joke. Just a slicker version of Sick Rott. If we had a real opposition party in this corrupt joke of a state, something better than Val Demings would have run against him. Her husband, Jerry, would have been a stronger candidate.

Could the mayor be angling for more political donations from the health care mafia that will benefit from the city funding this scam?
This yahoo Adams sounds just like Jeffries. Wowie, aren’t we ‘impressed’?💩
What a dickhead. Roe vs Wade set a precedent too.
He can f—- off. At least, Fetterman will neuter either him or Slimema.
Gee, Chuckie, you are so corrupt, you can’t see you and your fellow yahoos aren’t part of the problem? How about you do the dangerous jobs some of these RR workers do? Only you don’t have your taxpayer-paid platinum healthcare and sick days. He wouldn’t last 10 seconds.
This is true. Dave Dayen mentioned this in his reporting on Democracy Now this morning.
Byedone is an older RWing version of PB(ad)O(dor). Don’t get your hopes up.💩💩🤮
Effin’ Pelosi.
AOC confirms.
This is the headache with TWITter: did AOC’s constituents want her to vote the way she did?
Cos she’s a bulldog/Dobe for the people in her district. She is also one of my heroes along with Katie Porter.👏👏👏👍
The Biden Administration here is the real problem. She is doing their bidding
jcb, she is doing her bidding. Go look at her biography. Don’t let the old semi-senile wrinkle fool you.
Pelousy ain’t worth a pot to piss in. I know her background. She was born and reared by the Baltimore, MD version of Tammany Hall.
The vote was 56% when I casted a vote.
The third party is “centrist”? If so, hell no! More GOPuke Lite?! Go shove that where the sun don’t shine!🤮🤮
Well, I guess the writer feels let down by the DCCC. He is a centrist, but he’s actually more progressive in his views than he claims NOT to be. He doesn’t like Bernie though, that’s for sure.
On a brighter note….
👏👏👏👏👏👏!!☮️🙂
The filibuster strikes again.
Look at all the RWingnut aholes on that list. Rubio the Robber and Sick Rott? Something stinks right there. 💩
No mention yet from Bernie of the executive order path
Click on the image to see the videoclip from the Alex Wagner show last night.
If this really happened tonight, that would be a first. MSDNC loves Obama.
Meantime, no one is talking about the vote. TOP had one story on the vote this week.
Par for the course. 🤮
Looks like more to come out of the DNC.
Sounds like payback to Clyburn, to me.
Agree. SC is pretty da##ed red and racist.
Probably the usual corrupt stupidity.
