Imagine libs celebrating the resounding victory after 1/6 that Blue Cross PAC would only donate to Dems from hereon, which they did celebrate.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9298073/Obama-claims-reparations-justified-explains-nonstarter-presidency.html

Daily Mail article but actual quote from Obama's asinine loving podcast with Springsteen therein:

"Obama said that a reparations proposal would have been met with 'the politics of white resistance' and 'white resentment' during his presidency."

Talk about passing the loving buck. Hell, this isn't just passing the buck. Obama's mastered it-- he's passed the buck while retaining proprietary rights to any and all future profits related to said buck. His kids, too, will earn dividends upon his lack of action.

any emotional appeal to intervention is always funny as hell because we could end hunger tomorrow with the money we use on intervention guaranteed and prevent way more death and human suffering that way, but that doesn't get raytheon money. but people get blown into little giblets when they die in a warzone, I guess. shocking stuff, lets buy more laser guided missles.

but even that weaksauce excuse for a kinda-sorta public option is a bridge too far for our health-insurance masters:
at this point im just hoping that silver plans will just get 100% copays/deductibles/premiums covered if you lowball future income and its just a giant handout to the insurance companies for no reason but people get cheap care. doesnt help with denied claims of course or the fact that most places won't touch aca coverage, but hey

This reminds me of that time when the Ottoman janissaries were allowed to eat as much bread as they wanted, but they ate so much that the bakers were running out of flour, so the bakers mixed in a little dirt as filler, and most of the janissaries died of anthrax poisoning from the dirt

Marjorie Taylor Greene is being puffed up by the media and dems in power. she has little to no power except what they give her, by constantly discussing her nonsense. Dem's refuse to take any of several measures which would actually curtail her career.

This is very necessary as Biden's picks and policies have been lackluster, to actively terrible.

its a brilliant strategy that will work out just as well as when they used it against trump

Reminder that this was supposed to be Sanders's plan to blow up the filibuster without blowing up the filibuster: just have the VP overrule the parliamentarian every single time the issue came up and have them declare that "yup, this is a reconciliation bill, only needs 51 votes". You wouldn't even need to have an actual floor fight/vote about blowing up the filibuster to begin with.

Of course, to do this you'd need to have a VP willing to go along with such a scheme... which in retrospect makes the idea of Sanders considering Warren for Veep very funny because like hell would she do this
