Were Manchin and Sinema elected on the premise that they would vote to eliminate the filibuster?

Were any of the candidates elected to blindly follow the party line?

It used to be politicians would act and vote in a way that would represent their constituents, or their own values and positions.

The “Party Line at any cost” was very apparent in…[Read more]

Climate change action should be everyone’s obsession

Good timing.  I was just dialing this up:

Jeff Beck – A Day in the House, in case it doesn’t work

The World Health Organization is calling for a stop to booster vaccinations and help the nations with shortages.

Repugs and wing-nuts are now clamoring and demanding to get both doses and a booster in the same day because it’s their right, their Freedom!  It’s In The Constitution!!!

Late ’60’s -early ’70’s my father owned a 4-unit building.  2 commercial, 2 residential.  For a while he ran a deli out of one of the commercial units.

Two things I learned from that experience.

Don’t own a rental property and Don’t own your own business.   😀

We are far from millionaires.

And some thought 2012 was going to be bad.   🤣

They are richer on paper, if the price of houses stays up, or they can sell, they did way better than a year’s rent

I’d think they would have to disclose the current renters history.  How easy would that be to sell?

Other than to big corporations at below market, because they can weather the storm better than Larry the Landlord.

Thanks Joe!  &#x…[Read more]

And what about all the owners of the rental properties that haven’t been getting rent for more than a year?  Their bills haven’t stopped.

I wonder who leaked this May 2021 CDC report to WP?

The Biden administration had access to the fundamental conclusions of the CDC’s report when it called for the end of masking and social distancing in May.  Biden administration officials knowingly and with criminal intent encouraged measures that they knew would lead to a resurgence of the pa…

according to the CDC this is a Biden lie

President Joe Biden’s claim on July 22 that vaccinated people do not spread COVID-19—“You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.”

He was just trying to communicate to the Right in their own language.

Land Of The Free, Home of the Brave, The Great American Dream, Opportunity for everyone….. eh?

Yes, even in Alabama they are free, if they are brave enough, to find a new opportunity to reach for the great American dream.

I hear Amazon is hiring.

Strikes all around the country not reported in the media

Shootings all around the country not reported in the media

Missing children and persons all around the country not reported in the media

What’s your point?

Just another verse to “You can’t stop all of them, so why stop Any of them” for the Anti-crowd

When we upgrade, we’ll have like buttons. Mrmhead would have got one from me on this thread

I like like buttons

Very much so. In your shit music, food, fashion, language and narcissism.

OK @djtexas  What has your little corner of the world contributed? – wherever you may be, if you dare to divulge.

Like any common consultant knows, the correct answer is always It Depends.

If the appropriation is for exploitation – just for money, fame, etc – then, Yes it is wrong.

If it’s simply for interest or admiration, “Imitation is the best compliment” … or something like that.

Something in between?  It depends.

 I hit my 30’s, and for some reason which I could never recall, I questioned my beliefs in whether a God existed or not. The idea of an omniscient/omnipotent/ immortal spoiled child made no sense to me so I fell back to the beliefs of my birth. I became an Atheist. If everything I believed to be true was wrong, would I want to know? For me, it wa…

I have little pity for the anti-vax / anti-mask crowd – mrm

Same here. They are so numerous though (at least in my state) that they make every person, including the smart ones who got vaccinated, who lives in a hot state look bad. However, even though they will take a tiny number of vaccinated people with them, I have a feel there will be a lot…
