eviltastic posted:If it's hated enough in the Senate to flip assholes like Inhoffe, I continue to suspect that, particularly if McConnell is allowing a straight vote, there's a modest chance there's veto proof numbers coming out of the Senate vote. Probably doesn't change the final numbers in the House, but it may well change the calculus for individual reps. And Trump's trying to pilfer too much cash to keep the damage to just blue districts, even if they're together enough to be thinking that direction. I think every senator has an interest in maintaining the ability of a president to declare emergencies during natural disasters. Using this vital and life saving measure we have for political points risks the ability of presidents to declare an emergency when it’s actually needed. I’ve been calling gulf state Republican Senators all day. Can you tell lol E eviltastic posted:Looks like that's it and he's a committed 'no'. Unless anyone thinks this is actually a principled stance: It’s being floated in local newspapers by his office. There’s no need to do that unless he wanted public input. He doesn’t really show up in the papers otherwise. He’s like a ghost senator. I don’t even know if he campaigns tbh E2 This is what I get for reading the paper in the afternoon.

The short version is that the guy definitely wasn't blaming him for the events of 1929, as people were pretending he did. His point is still incredibly stupid. edit: a better point would have been to note that the guy didn't say "created" but rather "worsened", rather than focusing on the Great Depression part.

So apparently no one is even sure if the moronic moderate dems can even get their kneejerk "anti-semetic dissaproval resolution" to even pass, because even most dems are balking at how stupid and unneccesary it is.

They should expand that resolution to include other kinds of religious bigotry and pull the poo poo that Omar said. Idk if there’s another way to unfuck this situation. It would be a good to have a thorough denunciation of antisemitism and islamophbia on record.

theflyingorc posted:how incredibly loving racist to use Desi Arnez's catchphrase just because she's Latina It’s because he wants to spank her and is in denial about it. Also, this is extremely superficial of me, but it’s amazing that the right still can’t find an unflattering picture of her, so they just default to her looking intense or unamused, as if those are scary expressions for a woman to have.

What I want to know is, what proof do you have she knew about this and was fine with it, because so far this just seems like a shitshow that doesn't have any backing in the house leadership.

I gotta say if Dems are split on this it probably is because Pelosi is not on board with this, because whatever her other flaws she has a firm hold on her Caucus, and if they are saying they don't have the votes it's because she probably doesn't care enough to push for it. That's me reading from the outside though, so who knows.

Again, I was talking about why flyingorc said that "great depression didn't appear in the article". But beyond that, "FDR actually caused the great depression" is a right-wing canard that's been making the rounds of faux right-wing intellectuals for decades. He didn't misspeak or put his foot in his mouth. They honestly believe that the great depression was a run-of-the-mill recession that was deepened and exacerbated by socialist intervention. Tom Sowell, the intellectual heir of Thomas Friedman, speaks about this repeatedly, in between railing about how gun-free-zones don't work, because criminals don't abide by them.
