can't make things broadly functional because then we can't add to the rolodex of anecdotes where they personally moved mountains to save the day for someone.

everybody who wants a vaccine simply has to personally ask joe biden about it while he's on live national tv

seems like a perfectly fine system to me OP

Don't worry, Joe Manchin knows what you're doing with your life to make it go wrong, and if you get on the phone with him to advocate for a policy, he's going to respond by working with you to sort it all out

really wanna find the takes about how "it's only natural that the child of politicians, who grew up in a politics household, would make a natural politician" from a few years back in reference to people trying to push Obama's daughters into politics, and see if any of them are the same people

the best quality of those girls is that they don't want to be in politics. the older one is still getting gigs she isn't qualified for in show business, but at least she isn't going into politics.

what the gently caress are you talking about?

Joe Biden has done a good job.

When you come to the office with a long, extremely obvious history of horrific abuses of minorities and women, when you are objectively and literally a rapist, when you are to the right of most republicans and are a warmongering austerity ghoul, when you built cages and jailed children on concrete floors with tinfoil blankets and when you seem confused about who you are or where you are then you need to give it 110% No 150%

Biden has done that by going to bed early, calling lids on appearances, refusing to address many of the most pressing and horrific government policies, outright lying to peoples faces and being the ignorant shitheaded prick everyone knew he was while he talks down to women and claims black people are dumb and poor for the 30th time.

Let's see you do as good of a job as he did

i wonder what would happen if the congressional dems passed legislation for stimulus and min wage - i know, i know, but hear me out - without getting daddy biden's consent first.

because i can totally see biden vetoing a $15 dollar min wage bill

imagine if the legislature of some country in, idk, south america passed a law that totally didn't specifically target a former political leader. if they had natural resources the us would flatten it in the blink of an eye

Fine print says the house impeached him twice and the senate acquitted him twice. Technically correct, no Pinocchios for the democrats who are good.

there are almost certainly WV teachers whose salary, if you converted it to wages for a 35 hour work week straight up, not accounting for grading or extracurricular clubs or anything, would fall significantly below $15/hr. pretty sure it has the lowest teacher pay in the nation or close to it.

they will be losing mr. callahan the math teacher to a janitorial position at lowe's if they don't increase teacher salaries after a minimum wage hike

Yeah but this is just step one on the Chelsea Clinton/Meghan McCain/General Failchild of the Aristocracy evolution. This gig gives them the "experience" for the next one and that gives them the one after and by the time they're 30 they're on the boards of a bunch of non profis and then its self sustaining because look at how accomplished and philanthropic they are! Probably have a couple best selling ghost written books that were bought in bulk by their foundation too!

This is one of the benefits of wealth that is so hard to articulate. Its not good enough to have the money and contacts to write your golden ticket, we also have to have these people forced into our media, art and culture. Its the Disney kids to stars incestuous pipeline but for politics instead of acting. Its rubbing it right in our faces that we have no power and no recourse.
