8/8-8/9 The Sh*t Sandwich the Dems Forced Bernie to Eat or Starve; Open Thread
While the Dems are happy the MSM is touting the Senate’s passage of the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act), there are some terrible pacts which formed in the vote-a-rama that were so inane. It’s not clear to me that Bernie was aware the pacts were forming and would sabbotage all of his amendments, but I appreciate his massive one-man army for trying to do the will of the voters while Congress does a 180 and votes to assist the fat cat donors. More in the comments section.
Lots of tweets coming and I hope I can connect some of the dots. I don’t get C-SPAN and I don’t believe most stations televised the vote a rama. I couldn’t figure out why Bernie’s amendments were nearly all defeated. I think the tweets will help explain why. 47 Dems forced Bernie eat a shit sandwich created by Manchin, Sienma, and Schumer.
It’s disgusting,
But it’s NOT surprising, and we Progressive Birdies on here know it. What does common sense tell you to expect out of decades of dumbing down, stupidity, and legalized, blatant craporate bribing? 💩💩
These November elections are sooo urgent. Of course, I sound like a d###ed broken record.😡
I guess they’re antsy to get out of town for that almighty August break. Bunch of losers.
yep , go to the air port where this suit case is waiting by a private jet, go home to a gerrymandered district, put in a couple of well scripted appearances, local media does a news story about it which says very little and then cruise to re-election. Rinse repeat and people wonder why the US in in the mess were in with most of the politicians in DC
I presume this will be on Biden’s desk before the weekend. As far as I’m concerned, they might as well adjourn for the rest of the year. They will be worthless anyway.
I sent Rev Warnock a snack. He and Ossoff were the sole Dems who voted for expanding Medicare.
Fuckin’ snob.
Whitehouse probably thought: Oh geez, what a bore. Have to put up with Bernie’s amendments and I’d rather be on Block Island with my family.
I suspect the donors also told these senators to keep their powder dry and stand pat, or else.
T and R x 2, and thank you, Ms. Benny!!☮️🙂👍
Thanks for the ticktock by Gunnels.
How about the past 41 years?! Bunch of worthless trash.
I love this tune. 🙂
She was a radiant, smiling, singer/performer with a great voice. I wasn’t a big pop fan, but facts are facts. A very good human being to match. Olivia, we sure could use some “Magic” right now!
I will miss his narration gigs on “The American Experience”.
Of his books, John Adams was my favorite. I got to meet him once at a conference. Very cordial.

The EPA has narrowed air pollutants down to six major offenders found in varying degrees in cities around the world.
Nitrogen Oxides: Highly reactive gas primarily affecting the respiratory system
Sulfur Oxides: Reactive gas linked to industry and affecting the respiratory system
Particulate Matter: Extremely small particles and liquid droplets in the air affecting the respiratory system and causing premature death
Carbon Monoxide: Odorless, colorless gas produced through combustion processes, deadly at high levels
Ground-Level Ozone: Gas that’s a primary component of smog, affects respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and causes premature death
Lead: Highly toxic metal that impacts cognitive function, hypertension, fertility, the circulatory system, and the immune system
But hey we made our quarterly profits for the quarter.
No comment from the beyond-disgusted old fart peanut gallery. Grrrrrrr….
+270, Ms. Benny.
