Yeah that's the guy I complained about on the previous thread. He was on Anderson Cooper 360 as a self-proclaimed "left-wing activist" but this guy did nothing but encourage more violence and destruction. Looks like he has a history of opportunism and creating situations that he could profit out of him.

him = them.

yeah, hope that guy gets serious time tbh

Anybody watch Biden's big "we're firing up the money printer, folks" speech?

No, but if that's his plan, it's a good one.

I guess this should comas as no surprise, this guy has been aching for civil war

Does look like a human grocery store tbh.

Specifically the dumpster

ain't that fresh?

Very dumb to do $1400 checks and explain that $2000 included the $600 you got with Trump's name on it.

In the universe of things that can be called "very dumb", I'm not sure that is an outstanding example.

No doubt Republicans will beat them over the head with whines of "$1400 isn't $2000!" but if Biden can get another stimulus check (or more than one) passed later in 2020 it won't be a very effective tactic. And the COVID relief package Biden's proposing looks pretty damn ambitious. I admit I'm curious to know how they're planning to deal with McConnell torpedoing 100% of everything they attempt with the filibuster though.

President-Elect Biden served in he Senate for over 35 years. So he knows the plan he outlined tonight can’t pass “quickly” & will delay the 2k for hard hit Americans.

Let’s get the extra money to people first.

this fuckin guy irritates me so god damn much. THINGS TAKE FOREVER BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

...the democrats

Americans are pretty dumb but also money obsessed. I think they can figure out 600 + 1400 = 2000

that ol razzle dazzle baby

Plus, the $2000 amount still has the magical Trump Mark of Approval, which makes it harder for Republicans to knock it down. It's still the same political equation that applied just before the GA runoffs, except now the Republicans are staring at having lost in large part due to stalling the full $2000. It might not be entirely "very dumb" to repeat the play that won you the Senate.

what

you don't understand what I wrote?

thats correct

Rubio is such a tiny turd. As much as I hate Trump, he was really good at taking out other hateful people.

hes still there tho

I admit I'm curious to know how they're planning to deal with McConnell torpedoing 100% of everything they attempt with the filibuster though.

Sanders leads the budget committee now, and has signaled he would do it though reconciliation, requiring only 50 votes. Same as republican tax bill of 2017, as well as Obamacare

the left wing of the party completely willed these checks into existence, there was absolutely no interest in doing them from the party leadership, will be interesting to see how the left reacts to this centrist arithmetic, especially considering the $2000 was proposed under trump, its not particularly the ideal amount for continued survival, biden et al seem happy to pick up a couple senate seats off the idea move on

Biden will seek a deal with Republicans on another round of Covid-19 relief after taking office, rather than attempting to ram a package through without their support https://t.co/hY69XKk7CJ

Worth noting that Biden is significantly undershooting existing, on-the-table Dem proposals https://t.co/X6dUSfTcp7

Ah Karl thanks for the explanation!

oh, no problem - it might take a while to get to that point, too. according to washpost stuff, biden is trying to start "bipartisan" but is prepared to go with reconciliation if/when republicans refuse to help at all

I'm feeling too burnt out right now to get in my "ugh dems suck" hits yet, but the time will come, the time will come

Are you really a Democrat if you don’t negotiate against yourself?

the $2000 amount still has the magical Trump Mark of Approval

Kamala Harris was stumping for $2000 monthly mid-year, therefore it's a magical number with Republican-repelling properties

every Republican senator cancelled their subscriptions to 2000AD and the Megazine

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who will chair the Budget Committee, has said he is working to put together a massive stimulus bill that could pass under special budget rules with a simple majority vote in the Senate, instead of the 60-vote margin normally required.

Biden, however, wants to try for a bipartisan majority on his first bill — although his team appears to have conducted little outreach to congressional Republicans on the plan. Democratic aides say that if Republicans do not appear willing to cooperate, they can shift gears quickly and move to “budget reconciliation,” the procedure that would allow them to pass legislation without GOP votes. That’s how Republicans passed their big tax-cut bill after Trump took office, and how President Barack Obama passed the Affordable Care Act.

also, magical Kamala-repelling properties.

“We will finish the job of getting a total of $2,000 in cash relief to people who need it the most.

The $600 already appropriated is simply not enough.”
—Your next president, @JoeBiden

— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 15, 2021

although his team appears to have conducted little outreach to congressional Republicans on the plan.

To be fair, congressional Republicans have been busy for a few months denying his imminent presidency (among other not-governing things).

the place to start would have been retroactive checks, then get to the vaunted $2k

or perhaps even better—match dollar for dollar the trillion dollar goodie bags doled out over the last year to financial sector and defense contractors and fossil fuels etc

^actually that’s the ticket: replace “paygo” with Matching Stim Checks to actual people for every dime Delta and Raytheon get ffs
