Not gonna watch this but can Mark please take “Daddy” to the seniors’ home already, and keep him there?

Good reporters only talk about how Trump is such a gweat wittle pwesident.

Senator Rafael ‘Cancún’ Cruz running away from his constituents during weather crises? Well, I never!

I’m smelling Musk’s typical brand of vaporware.

Deportation macht Frei

Effectively hand-me-downs the military has no active use for.

That conversation has to happen now as well. But the points I raised are related to despair of the Reconciliation bill passing and those climate setbacks.

Democrats’ window of opportunity to change ahead of midterms is NOW until the primaries. (I’ve said my spiel about it before in this thread)

That’s where the resistance has to last 16 to 40 months, slowing down and making people aware enough of these things:

• how unserious about budgets Republicans are
• how much they are trying to punish regular people (poor middle and moderately wealthy class),
• while also looking to use the they are spending to subsidize companies, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

He got many non-budgetary provisions out from the Byrd rule, which is essentially enforcing the rules that allow the thin Republican majority to pass a budget.

But the Republican Senate also made up an accounting magic trick to pretend that a several trillion dollar budget line item has no effect on the deficit. And pretended that this is now a rule because 51 senators think this is a good idea.

Senate Democrats did virtually everything within the legislative process that they could on their own.

House Leader Jeffries did at least delay the vote for 8 hours, 44 minutes to talk about the bill, and bring it to the afternoon news cycle instead of at 4am.

From Obama-care to Republi-kill.

Note that the Court has allowed the Trump admin to control California’s national guard, for now. The full case is still ongoing.

It’s also a very bold assumption of mine that they would try to do anything more than the status quo even if they did manage to retake power, predicated on the Democratic Party being massively reformed. If there was ever a time to reform the Dems, that’s right now, years before midterms or a US general election.

More bad behavior from the Roberts Supreme Court. Write it down, Democrats.

I’m just going to keep putting “bad behavior / bad behaviour” in the thread of each new piece of SCOTUS’ deliberate ignorance of democracy, constitution and the rule of law. You’ll be able to search my profile for it, and maybe Democrats can do something about it if they can retake power.

“And I will add, I did NOT have any sexual relations with that man, Andrew Cuomo” - Clinton, probably.

Oh yeah and I noticed it was a federal issue too, not state… let me change my comment a bit.

GOP is going to put their big government taxes on you Texans, Oklahomans and true freedom lovers. Then they’ll give big handouts to oil companies, letting them freeload on the infrastructure you paid to help develop (roads, water, certification, etc.). Is that what you want, Republican voters?

Fucking what kind of line of questioning is it when cops are resteaining you or holding you on the ground or against a fence…

People can’t name a woman under pressure.

Ok courts, time to do your job, put this guy in check. This “official act” is unconstitutional and illegal, come on, do something.

I totally understand that overreach makes hunting and recreational shooting activities a lot more difficult.

On the flipside, it means that assembly in Canada is peaceful by default without the constant threat of escalation into gun violence as can happen in the USA. It means that in our cities, 19 times out of 20 we only have to worry about pointy objects being potentially used as weapons by people walking down the street rather than guns.

The styling of firearms is just for show over safety I agree. But maintaining a culture of responsibly using firearms as a privilege of partaking in the sport, rather than as a right, is a distinction that gives us Canadians a better quality-of-life overall. There’s far fewer grey areas in Canada as to where and what guns should be legally used for.
