Wow Feinstein taking a moral stand on an intelligence agency that's not a loving transparent aberration from her hideous standard position.

CA has an open jungle primary race, so Feinstein is definitely more racist than most of the other guys & girls that she's going to squash in the first round.

Also, if you have any materials discrediting Feinstein in any manner, please post them ITT so that they might be put to use, TIA (we've all seen the Confederate flag stuff, tho).

It’s a shame De Leon took the top challenger spot and proceeded to sit on his rear end and not attack Feinstein on any level.

the PWA was the one that did a bunch of stuff through private contracting building stuff that would otherwise not be built

the WPA was the one hiring mostly "unskilled" workers as direct government employees

quote:

=Total expenditures on WPA projects through June 1941 totaled approximately $11.4 billion—the equivalent of $190 billion today.[23] Over $4 billion was spent on highway, road, and street projects; more than $1 billion on public buildings, including the iconic Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, and Timberline Lodge in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest.[27]:252–253

More than $1 billion—$16.6 billion today[23]—was spent on publicly owned or operated utilities; and another $1 billion on welfare projects, including sewing projects for women, the distribution of surplus commodities, and school lunch projects.[24]:129 One construction project was the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, the bridges of which were each designed as architecturally unique.[28] In its eight-year run, the WPA built 325 firehouses and renovated 2,384 of them across the United States. The 20,000 miles of water mains, installed by their hand as well, contributed to increased fire protection across the country.

lol that Obama spent so much of ARRA on short-term tax cuts, including the worthless "payroll tax cut" that put an additional $7/week in workers' pockets (and further decimated medicare/ss funding):

Total: $237 billion (personal tax cuts)

$116 billion: New payroll tax credit of $400 per worker and $800 per couple in 2009 and 2010. Phaseout begins at $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for joint filers.[23]

$70 billion: Alternative minimum tax: a one-year increase in AMT floor to $70,950 for joint filers for 2009.[23]

$15 billion: Expansion of child tax credit: A $1,000 credit to more families (even those that do not make enough money to pay income taxes).

$14 billion: Expanded college credit to provide a $2,500 expanded tax credit for college tuition and related expenses for 2009 and 2010. The credit is phased out for couples making more than $160,000.

$6.6 billion: Homebuyer credit: $8,000 refundable credit for all homes bought between January 1, 2009, and December 1, 2009, and repayment provision repealed for homes purchased in 2009 and held more than three years. This only applies to first-time homebuyers.[36]

$4.7 billion: Excluding from taxation the first $2,400 a person receives in unemployment compensation benefits in 2009.

$4.7 billion: Expanded earned income tax credit to increase the earned income tax credit – which provides money to low income workers – for families with at least three children.

$4.3 billion: Home energy credit to provide an expanded credit to homeowners who make their homes more energy-efficient in 2009 and 2010. Homeowners could recoup 30 percent of the cost up to $1,500 of numerous projects, such as installing energy-efficient windows, doors, furnaces and air conditioners.

$1.7 billion: for deduction of sales tax from car purchases, not interest payments phased out for incomes above $250,000.

Total: $51 billion (corporate tax cuts)

$15 billion: Allowing companies to use current losses to offset profits made in the previous five years, instead of two, making them eligible for tax refunds.

$13 billion: to extend tax credits for renewable energy production (until 2014).

$11 billion: Government contractors: Repeal a law that takes effect in 2012, requiring government agencies to withhold three percent of payments to contractors to help ensure they pay their tax bills. Repealing the law would cost $11 billion over 10 years, in part because the government could not earn interest by holding the money throughout the year.

$7 billion: Repeal bank credit: Repeal a Treasury provision that allowed firms that buy money-losing banks to use more of the losses as tax credits to offset the profits of the merged banks for tax purposes. The change would increase taxes on the merged banks by $7 billion over 10 years.

$5 billion: Bonus depreciation, which extends a provision allowing businesses buying equipment such as computers to speed up its depreciation through 2009.

"rather than" is the wrong direction. don't divert away from their concerns, tie them into your point. you think white cops have never been assholes to Native Americans? hell, there was a racial profiling incident not that long ago with two native american kids who got the cops called on them at a college tour because they "seemed suspicious" and "didn't fit in"

The conversation ended up going along those lines and I completely dropped the BLM side of it because the last thing is want to do is discount her concerns. I was kinda miffed with myself because I didn't do a good job of merging the two parts of the equation

Much like their right-wing counterparts, I think brainwormed liberals aren't consciously making a distinction between literal Russian bots making programmed posts and people who have reasons to disagree with them.

If the democrats do manage to reclaim the house (a thing that's chances are getting slimmer each day) is there any chance Pelosi doesn't become speaker? Who even wants the job that would be better?
