Every time I see that guy speak, I feel like the administration just took some guy they found with a bottle in a bag down by the tracks, shaved him, and shoved him in front of some cameras with the promise of more bags of treats.
And the possibility of trading a cow for magic beans that will let him get one of those magic machines — is why my brother has been cheerleading for the billionaires — against his own interest
Rightly or wrongly, 7 Dems calculated, in terms of their own districts and perhaps the nation, that a gov’t shutdown wasn’t worth making that call at the time. I don’t see how we can ever know how much Pritti’s murder, and its role in changing the national mood, changed the field those Dems believed they were playing on.
Spitting? Really? I’m sure there’s spittle flying if people are yelling, and I’ll get cars have been sit on but otherwise spitting requires very close contact and I think most people are trying to maintain a discreet distance from ICE agents. It’s another propaganda point–our brave ICE agents are being spit on by ungrateful radical left, just like soldiers returning from Vietnam were. Just like using the word “theater,” I see accusations of spitting as another depiction of this as a military operation, and painting blue states as un-American, anti-American, even foreign.
If you’ve got a time machine, you go and get a small win like 40 years ago, drop it in one of the first Roth IRAs, then slip ahead to 2006 to roll that over into another Roth.
But wasn’t that the founders’ point? That short terms would make the members of the House more responsive (than senators) to their constituents’ current views and feelings? (Like the plebeian assembly.) The main problem today is that campaign financing leaves House members more responsive to their donors than to their constituents. Also, modern communications make two years fly by faster.
I meant it as constructive criticism. Take it to heart. Use it to improve. You post a lot of good, useful commentary. Ad hominem attacks are unnecessary and counter-productive when trying to win over minds.
Sorry you couldn’t get the sound working. I can’t help you as I’m a caricature of a person with enough wits to survive in this veil of tears for 75 years but an absolute buffoon in any technical matters.
I’m attaching it again in the hope that after we both reboot our devices it works for all.
Heh like it’s 5AM and time to take my morning pain meds (being disabled is not fun)
Sleep another hour… the early morning flys by..
But you are right … two years is a short term
