I didn't hear you say a peep about baldy orange cunto handing billions of dollars in tax cuts to his mates and slapping it on the national debt.

Like all Republicans, you are a hypocritical cretin.

As are you for not speaking out on the $1.9 stimulus Bill giving pork money to the wrong people after your harsh criticism of Trump’s tax cuts.

You really are devoid of any attachment to realism

Any link to his actions (and speeches) in Texas?

Surely RT has some illumination?

Why not a media of your own country? Not state-controlled. Aren’t they sincere to their readership?

According to who?

If it’s your brand of realism no thank you.

Trying to use whataboutism is a pathetic little stunt. Every bill has something in it to assuage representatives' needs to keep their constituents happy, or to satisfy their own particular wonts.

Such is the absurdity of your political system.

The point is, like all good republicans, you don't say a fucking word when it's you doing it, but squeal like little schoolgirls when it's the other side.

Like I said, you are a hypocritical cretin.

And now the Congessmen are questioning whether it is OK to leave the decision of the nuclear war to one person only. Wondering why they come to this question just now? Is it more difficult then play the Mario Carts?

Tell me what side doesn't do this. They all do. When people pick "their" side in these arguments, it always brings a smile to my face...

No whataboutism here Pelosi has been holding up the help seriously needed by millions who have been without work because of a pandemic and your sorry ass is defending her and Biden.

By the way how does it feel supporting a President whose own party doesn’t trust him with the nuclear suitcase.

The republicans have been holding up the help because they didn't make enough money out of it.

A month in and the Democrats are sending money where it is needed. I bet that rankles with you, all those black people getting aid from the taxpayer.

As usual you're being retarded. Biden and the Democrats want to make sure that the next mentally unstable republican president can't launch a nuclear strike which, after the last arsehole morons like you elected, is extremely sensible.

Well to be precise it never got to the passing or failing stage as it violated the rule they are using.

Although they are trying to find ways to "encourage it" *cough*

And Pelosi hasn't been holding it up, where do you get this shit? You make these statements without posting supporting material.
Please cut and paste the relevant supporting texts/quotes and associated links.

The progressive Democrat Ilhan Omar has called for the firing of the government official who effectively blocked the party’s plans to raise the minimum wage.


Democratic plans to include a gradual raise to $15 in Joe Biden’s $1.9tn coronavirus stimulus bill were effectively ended on Thursday when the Senate parliamentarian ruled it should not be part of the package.


The decision by Elizabeth MacDonough, who has held the non-partisan position since 2012, dashed hopes of including the raise in the bill – the first increase in over a decade.


“Abolish the filibuster. Replace the parliamentarian,” Omar said in a tweet. “What’s a Democratic majority if we can’t pass our priority bills? This is unacceptable.”

Biden campaigned on a pledge to increase the minimum wage to $15. Low-wage workers and unions have campaigned for a rise since 2012, and its inclusion in the coronavirus stimulus bill had been seen as a major victory.


While the proposal faced universal opposition by Republican senators and skepticism from some Democrats, Senator Bernie Sanders and others were confident that it could be pushed through with a simple majority in the Senate, where the Democrats hold a slim majority.


In order to achieve this, the proposal would have to be passed by “budget reconciliation” – a mechanism that allows legislation to bypass the 60% vote bills need to get through the Senate.

Late on Thursday, MacDonough ruled that the wage increase did not meet the standards for budget reconciliation.


The parliamentarian acts as an impartial judge and has only been removed from office once. MacDonough is well respected by many members of both parties, and the Biden administration seems unlikely to push for her removal.


Other progressive Democrats have proposed a less drastic solution – overruling her.


“The Senate parliamentarian issues an advisory opinion,” congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said in a tweet. “The VP can overrule them – as has been done before. We should do EVERYTHING we can to keep our promise, deliver a $15 minimum wage, and give 27 million workers a raise.”


Sanders, one of the most ardent supporters of a minimum-wage increase, has proposed an alternative plan – imposing penalties and incentives to push companies toward higher wages.


“I will be working with my colleagues in the Senate to move forward with an amendment to take tax deductions away from large, profitable corporations that don’t pay workers at least $15 an hour, and to provide small businesses with the incentives they need to raise wages,” Sanders said in a statement. “That amendment must be included in this reconciliation bill.”


Sanders’ comments come after a Senate hearing on Thursday where he lambasted the low wages paid by McDonald’s, Walmart and others. Sanders pointed to a government report that found nearly half of workers who make less than $15 an hour rely on public assistance programs that cost taxpayers $107bn each year.


The American people are “sick and tired” of subsidizing “starvation wages” at these companies, Sanders said.

Derp.

You should follow your own advice snubby.

Sanders rebuked a key decision of the Senate parliamentarian, who determined Thursday evening that a proposed $15 minimum wage hike could not pass under the rules of budget reconciliation.

That is more than the GOP has ever done for working people and the middle class.

You are a pathetic brainwashed imbecile.



What complete and utter nonsense. After four years of the dumbest and worst president in American history the country could not be in more capable hands.

I’m sure you are correct after all the Dems just rejected a bid by the Republicans to transfer funds slated to a Bay Area railroad to mental healthcare for children.
