    @GRHorn I'm going to dinner at Bob's tomorrow and expensing it to the surly business account simply to re-take the picture that is your avatar, and I'm going to replace it with one that actually looks

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its all-time high today, so I'd like to congratulate Joe Biden for building the greatest economy the world has ever seen.

  • Let us know the results after you take it

Don't know where this is being discussed so this seems like a good place given Biden is going to have to bridge the progs and moderates.

They don't have strong leadership or vision. This is what happens, Larry.

It's so cool that after all the work that so many people did to wrench control from the fascists, the Democrats are just going to give it right back by doing classic Democrat shit.

They could use a got damn Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus (the old one, not the new version). The character traits and attitude, not the gender and race necessarily. "Get messy and make mistakes", and she sure didn't advocate for sitting on your hands in the classroom.

Please let this be a normal legislative session

With the Friz? NO WAY!

Rahm nomination hearing today on the anniversary of Laquan McDonald's murder.  

Other than Neera Tanden, Rahm Emanuel is the worst nomination by Biden's team.

It's almost like expecting different results is insanity when the entirety of the democratic party upper leadership hasn't changed in more than a decade.

The calls to power went in before South Carolina and then again on Super Tuesday. It was written, now it's playing out

i was a liz guy, but was pleased when biden got the nomination because he gave us the best chance to get out trump.  i don't think i really have the right to complain about biden because his uselessness is just the price we had to pay to get trump out.

What do we expect? Which democratic President was going to rally 48 Senators to pass meaningful legislation?

There were a handful of candidates who can communicate a bit better than Biden and a whole bunch that would sign EO’s. And many who would flounder and self-immolate. What am I missing here?

That’s part of the problem overall too. The bench is so shallow it’s hard to find a single charismatic person that would be a qualified candidate.

 

But your statement I think is grading on too easy of a curve. It’s hard to say person X Y or Z would absolutely be better at moving public opinion (and getting the voting as a result) but it is easy for me to say that I can’t think of any way someone could be worse at it than Biden.  I don’t know of anyone that, were he or she president, we would be farther from meaningful legislation than we are. There is nothing that I can see that is positive that I attribute to Biden’s skill.

What does “police itself” mean? These Senators are accountable to their constituents. Not in some idealistic way, but in that they’re selfish individuals that want to keep their kush jobs. 

Lol. Sinema doesn’t give a shit about her constituents.
Hey there buddy. You’re posting pretty early. You shouldn’t be distracted from your main morning task. Making sure CTJ’s eggs are just how he likes them. 
 
Looks like we’re gonna need more free market capitalism in the form of green energy subsidies and anti fossil fuel regs to fix this problem. 

Yeah, you are going to lose this one. Idiot.

Congrats to Joe Biden on building the greatest economy the world has ever seen:

 

$120 billion a month in Fed wealth transfers since March 2020 built that.

The American people sometimes just need to be told the truth. The govt pumped a ridiculous amount of money into the economy, we have supply chain problems and many Americans have decided not to work. Those factors, especially the first 2, can easily lead to inflation that the govt cannot stop. We held off a larger financial crisis last year and the bill is coming due with these consequences now.

2024 we get a runback of Trump v Biden
then in 2028 it'll happen again (Biden trying to get his 2nd term and Trump doggedly pursuing a 3rd while Democrats say "erm, uhh, sir?")

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The least feasible part of that is Biden being alive in 2028. Trump is regaining the WH in 2024 if he wants it.

Trump will never be the president again. I actually doubt he runs again but I know he won’t ever be the president again. They will blow the country up if they have to before that ever happens. 

That “fuck joe Biden” chant by the Red Sox fans after game four really fucked them over. Dipshits.
 

I’m assuming asshat Cancun Cruz didn’t show up for the Astros game last night which would of course guarantee the win. He shows up and it’s then a coin flip.

I haven't seen any posts about paternity leave, at least back a page.  Are you on the right thread?  "Mother" typically implies . . . maternity.

I don't know why he cut maternity leave when the two months that was used was paternity leave that people had an issue with. Hell it wasn't that he left two months, but that no one noticed while our supply chain is messed up.

Exactly, why not more? If you ain't trying get as much as you can from corporations or tax payers, you're not working your damnedest for yourself.

A lot of your rhetoric on this topic falls flat after the Go Fund me thread. Not trying to be an ass, just saying.

You should think about coming out. Self hating gays are the worst and is no way to go through life.

"i want a 4 day work week but that means we have to demand a 3 day work week to get that compromise or else we’ll end up with “you can leave at 4:45 on friday”
