See what I mean.

In it’s present form, the US Senate is an anchor on democracy and progress.

It exactly was/is, @ralph_vonholst. George Washington is said to have told Jefferson that the framers had created the Senate to “cool” House legislation just as a saucer was used to cool hot tea.

…and that resulted in a reduction of non-dental issues. Free dental care pays for itself by reducing other medical expenses.

I think that you are not going back far enough… Bush v Gore was the start.

We tolerated it, from there it’s been pushed and pushed…

Republicans #1 goal to make Obama a 1 term president…

The examples are plentiful

It would be really interesting to see who among those on Manchin’s Recent Calls list suddently shorted the indexes late on Friday.

Bingo! Explain this all you disingenuous conservatives. The same thing has been happening since “the actor in the White House” did it in the 80’s. Run up the deficit while slowing the economy. How many times do they get to make such a stupid mistake?

Sadly, #moscowmitch has erected a sturdy wall theto gym in the middle of the saucer. No legis lol action can pass through it without his approval. That must change.

And having everyone sit for 15+ minutes in the drive-through line, while the ones inside stood at the counter for a while before giving up and leaving – yeah, that would have been so much better for customer satisfaction and repeat business compared to a “closed due to staffing, sorry for the inconvenience” sign.

Yes? He’ll flip.

Well. Yes, we could go back to the ‘civil war’…or further.
And also, we consider there is plenty of blame to go around. Including the circular fire squads in 1968, 1980, 2000, 2010, 2016

Manchin will explain to WV voters why he tanked the economy, of course.

I thought I read somewhere that there is large scale unemployment? I guess none of the unemployed are willing to work for $700 per week. “Are there no prisons? Are there no Union workhouses?”

Worse yet “journalists” are bitching about inflation when we have completely full employment for the first time in generations. What the hell do journalists think happens when you have a labor shortage. In a labor shortage there is only a couple of things fast food managers can do, close early or pay more. Paying more requires them to charge more. That is what inflation is all about.

I’m going to add this part, at some point people have to realize that they’re asses. That the people working the drive-thru at 3AM are there because that may be their second job. That not every person who works at McDonalds or Taco Bell are losers, they may be working their way through college.
And those workers aren’t putting up with our shit any more. When the country all but shut down completely last year some of these folks finally got a chance to breathe and take stock of their situation.
And then there’s the large section of folks 55 and up who have walked away. By walking away it created openings for others to move up.

And just Fuck Joe Manchin.
