He's the greatest in your lifetime and you're going to spend your time bashing him? Just acknowledge it. True. The guy's been amazing. My investments are killing it. I've bought a house, a car and a boat during his presidency (which I obviously drive around yelling U-S-A and flying my Biden flag on). We've pulled out of unnecessary foreign entanglements. America's finally patriotic again. We're putting away traitors at record levels. It's been a pretty amazing year for both me personally and of course for America as a whole. But with all that success, you're going to see a lot of jealousy. And we're seeing a lot of that in this thread. You wish these people got on board and started loving America, but what're you gonna do.
January 20, 20223 yr 6 minutes ago, Toty said: I can agree with this. And a few of his worst appointments have withdrawn. Would he have signed BBB if it hit his desk as written? Would he have sworn in Omarova? A lot of his agenda has been thwarted, but it's still his agenda. What has made it has been moderated a bit because it had to be (still a lot of garbage in the infrastructure bill but not nearly as much as the Republicans claimed). President Biden knows the senate inside & out and knew that whatever was included in the BBB proposal would be watered down through negotiations long before it hit his desk....same goes for the infrastructure bill. it was 4D presidenting.

Probably but it's also irrelevant since it never happened.
January 20, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Toty said: You're right. That's good news because it means the opposition to the bill was inconsequential. Sure, I'm fine with BBB not passing. They should pass what they can in bite sized chunks. Or don't. I'm good either way.

January 20, 20223 yr Each and every damned US President since I was old enough to know anything: "No other American President has slapped as big a band-aid on our problems as, well I am too humble to say me, but, Me." "But about the necessary surgery the country needs, Mr. President?" "Never has such a band-aid, been so accurately placed by a sitting US President."

I just appreciate the sentiment. 8 minutes ago, Toty said: As usual your sources are suspect. My sources are always highly reputable, but feel free to check the numbers on this if you like. They're at least accurate ballpark figures. 8 minutes ago, Toty said: Who writes "Y'all" anyway? It's something you say. K.

Voter fraud is virtually non-existent, and where it does exist, wouldn't you know, it's in favor of Republicans. There is a single motivating factor here. A paranoid minority is doing whatever it can to hold onto its vanishing political power by effectively disenfranchising demographics that most reliably vote Democratic: black and brown people.

January 21, 20223 yr I don't know that the strategy is racist. I don't doubt there are some on the right who happily go along with it as such, but I wouldn't say it's the majority. But it's clearly an attempt to twist the rules in favor of the Republican party.

These measures are intentionally designed to restrict voting in minority-heavy precincts, within districts that are already heavily gerrymandered to stack the voter rolls in favor of whitey. How is that not racist?

How is that not racist? Because I think they would be doing the same thing if the precincts were predominantly white and voting democratic. They want to suppress democrats. Given that blacks (though not all minorities) vote largely democratic, it's going to overlap. If you were to come up with a strategy that tried to reduce the number of democratic voters, it's going to suppress blacks in urban areas.

Maybe, but that doesn't matter here, because the calculus is still based on the sense that Democratic voters are most readily identifiable by racial or ethnic characteristics, so the legislation is designed with those demographics in mind.
