Upon further research, the $1.9 trillion figure comes from a CBO estimation half a year after the 2017 Republican tax plan had passed, too late to apply to the $1.5 trillion reconciliation rule (how does this happen?), not something to do with Democrats rolling back its tax increases on the lower and middle quintiles

It doesn't undermine my point, but now I'm too lazy to revise the letter, so I'll work on it later

I think his argument is more "We can't dismantle the empire because Putin will take that moment to strike". The underlying logic being that you can't dismantle imperialism without disbanding your military defenses entirely because to people like this imperialism is just "playing the international chess game" and not "being a blood-soaked mafia state".

Why should I give a poo poo if Putin does something to the US? The US government doesn't give a poo poo about it's people so why should I support it over Putin or Xi?

The crowd (of Bill Maher fans in the year 2000) LOVE him! It's incredible.

Be sure to stay tuned for Bill's INCREDIBLY GOOD takes on people with handicaps doing sports.

E: Wow drat what a snipe.

wild to think that twenty years ago fringe political figures regularly appeared on national television

The Biden tweet is la persuasive message advocating for direct stimulus payments. It is trying to disarm the negative connotations of the term "handouts". Biden has been promoting and advocating for this continuously.

In all seriousness, if you do not understand that is the meaning of the message, and you took away the message that Biden was somehow doing the opposite, you need to find different sources of political information, because the ideological frame you are interpreting reality through is making you misunderstand very basic things. It is not informing you. It is hurting you, and it is making it impossible to discuss reality.

If you begin from the assumption of categorical falsehood, you have assumed a position where no information can ever falsify your position. This doesn't make you smart or insightful, it makes you deluded.

I think it's kinda premature to declare who got absolutely nothing / frozen out. We don't even know most of the bigdeal Cabinet/executive branch positions, never mind early policy priorities.

Biden's cabinet picks are to the left of Obama's in part by dint of, for one thing, thus far not being Republicans, but also they've been more widely saluted by progressives than Obama's. I noted Yellen, Haaland, but there are more--Tai, Klein, and Becerra are all further examples of where every other contender for the slot was further right. For others, like Cardona, every single person up for the Cabinet position met with progressive approval.

Becerra was a major proponent of M4A and now he's been chosen for HHS.

if anything this has rendered me terrified beyond belief at how Los Angeles is going to handle whatever crisis crops up this next year.

i hate to bang on about this but the municipal reaction to BLM protests was the mayor shouting "FINE! NOBODY GETS COVID TESTING" last year. and this somehow got less than zero coverage

yknow, just the mayor of the second largest city in the richest country in the world throwing a fit because people were mad at him
