Wonder if they’ll all show for the BBB signing, too? Or the Voting Rights Act?

The Voting Rights Act?
For the Republicans in congress that should have a special meaning for their behavior in their day jobs.

This country is pretty fucked up right now. Congress decides to spend a terabuck on structural improvements that will benefit almost all Americans, and the kultists want to hang their representatives. I suspect that given the option to spend twice as much bombing and strafing the shit out of Fanatistan, they would be all for it.

WTF? C’mon Joe and say it to all of them. Hurt them all, whether they’re running or not.

I’m stunned that one of my senators was there but my husband reminds me that Shelley and Joe have been working together on rural broadband for WV for a while now.

She aligned herself hard with TFG and is still way to the right of me but maybe I’ll bend a bit for this one.

Biden continues to play the bipartisan card and I suppose he feels he must but it seems rather forlorn at this stage. It is unlikely any Republicans attending this signing will be present for any other bill signing he might make – more likely they will be part of Republican efforts obstruct it – and there is little evidence this situation will change based on anything Biden can do. Only the electorate can make the necessary change by showing current Republican strategy no longer works and there is precious little evidence in current polling to indicate that’s going to happen never mind the outrageous levels partisan gerrymandering have reached.

We need a Democratic tsunami is what we need.

It’s like protesting having Ed McMahon pay you a visit with a giant check. Dumb like it’s going out of style.

Which, sadly, it isn’t.

How many people in rural WV even have a computer? And with some of them, access to the internet will not bode well.
