The Day Of Reckoning Over BIF And Reconciliation Is Upon Us | Talking Points Memo

Successfully prosecuting someone for their treatment of the flag is extremely difficult.

I get my sausage from a guy named Guido. It’s great with beer.

I was about fourteen or so when I saw that book. Snapped it shut and put it back. That stuff freaks me out.

I think Manchin has laid an egg on this one.

And I ended up in the military with grand dreams. :joy:

Shattered, of course, by mundane reality of having been there at just the wrong time, with peace breaking out everywhere and service at the time being quite rote and not at all heroic.

Don`t worry … I kinda like Deutschyland… relatively.

But make no mistakes Volks … you can run but you can`t hide from this FUBAR country.

I’m sorry.

I’m not. Turned out my personality doesn’t fit well with following orders without question, so I made a decent career elsewhere doing more fulfilling and morally right things.

Yo discobot, I know perfectly well I’ve responded to castor_troy three times and you don’t have to tell me so with an exclamation point, you high-strung bit of code. We’re sitting here in history’s waiting room and it’s like a doctor’s waiting room that has nothing but golf magazines. I should send you little notes about how you’re not minding your own business.

If Democrats can not manage to pass an infrastructure bill and some kind of pared down reconciliation bill they will probably lose the next election. This nonsense between the meany progressives and the bad centrists is just bizarre. We need two functioning political parties and I am beginning to think we don’t even have one. Dems can point fingers at each other all they want, they will all lose if they do not get their sh*t together.

You don’t find “Because I said so” to be a compelling argument? Huh. My own first part-time job was working at a summer camp owned by three gym teachers from Philly. Not to trade in stereotypes but let’s just say none of them was a genius. So I’d make an occasional suggestion and my direct boss would say, “Don’t think. Just do what I tell you.” I learned a lot about adults that summer. I also learned that kernels of cooked corn are extremely hard to sweep up and I didn’t really want to do it professionally. It was a long summer vocationally but I bought my first stereo with the money so that was cool. Remember stereos? They were a thing once.

Makes sense. Every time doing the right thing requires some self-sacrifice and potentially taking some political heat or spending some political capital to get things done for anyone but the oligarchy, he plays dead.

I agree on the first one, but not the second—and the Mark Twain House & Museum agrees.

Falling flat on your face and looking like a bunch of cry babies is not developing a backbone.

Yeah, that and he looks an awful lot like a possum
