Goddam, that politico piece is kayfabe gold:quote:On Monday, Jeffries alluded to some objections by Democrats over the potential for a compromise to include budget cuts, calling a White House-proposed spending freeze “an inherently reasonable position” yet one “many in our party might even be uncomfortable with.”

Raskolnikov38 posted:oh no where will they possibly find 100 democrats willing to vote for a republican bill!?!?!?! we're doomed they're pretending that this time it's gonna be the "far left" that stalls a deal, which is lol. quote:Democratic moderates belonging to the Problem Solvers Caucus, Blue Dog Coalition and the business-friendly New Democrat Coalition are usually the first place to seek votes in a bipartisan plan. But the more votes Democrats need to produce, the further they’d have to reach into their progressive wing, where members are already opposed to several key policies under discussion. so when whatever bullshit passes they can say they took the lapdogs' views into consideration.

Time to start scrawling Biden’s name across the top of random legislation to see if this holds true.

genericnick posted:He made up the drug war, didn't he? And when was it that the US was flooded with crack cocaine? That certainly wasn't distributed by the CIA? war on drugs started under Nixon but was expanded yeah. Reagan needed an extra-governmental budget and did so using drug money and the CIA were the middle man. Also used to weaken black communities both by addicting and arresting. Volker shock also hit black employment/income hardest. Technically loving around in afghanistan was started by Carter. Reagan did some other poo poo too like changing how social security worked, used a 'unified budget' to cut top tax rate in half by spending from everyone's retirement fund. He deregulated broadcast which led to our hell news of punditry and is why 80s and 90s cartoons were all associated with a line of toys. Also allowed ketchup to count as a vegitable so school lunch could be made terrible. it all comes back to Reagan. we live in a reagan world

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:dems got a clean debt ceiling increase under trump and can't get one under biden lmao what a party im not even mad at that, like sure whatever divided congress, whatever, but there is a clear way out of this and the only reason it isnt being pursued is because it "seems unserious" (translation: it recognizes the rules are made up and the points don't matter, and we just can't possibly say that) what makes me even more mad are the people who treat the national debt like household finances. it's like hiring a bunch of twelve year olds to work at NASA and they keep insisting that to get to the moon you point the rocket at it like a surface to air missile and go straight till you hit it, just complete ignorance of the system Justin Tyme has issued a correction as of 19:51 on May 24, 2023 |

RadiRoot posted:they skipped a number? Some prevalent theories: - Legacy software had a check for windows_version starting with 9. - Windows 10 is actually the 10th release of Windows. - Microsoft originally said something along the lines of "Windows 10 is the last major version change of Windows," and 10 is a good round number to end on.

Antonymous posted:Reagan sent a ship to bombard Grenada but by the time the ship got there the government of Grenada had changed but he bombed anyway this plus modern drug war & mass incarceration domestically, etc. Reagan's administration is easily the worst in my lifetime. But Reagan's admin would have been nothing without all of the staff, from Buchanan to Wolfowitz to Rumsfeld, who cut their teeth in the Nixon administration and never faced any repercussions. Those people went on to staff and, according to some (lookin' at you, Dick), run the W administration. So if you think W was the worst, you can also thank Dick Nixon. Nixon's administration has had the longest lasting, most pernicious effect on US foreign and domestic policy as any other in history.

I was under the (probably incorrect) impression that Microsoft skipping 9 had something to do with how poorly the mobile like design of Windows 8 was received. Like they either had to scrap the initial work on 9, or wanted to put as much distance from 8 as possible.
