President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Hint; Has nothing to do with the Giants shortstop.

 

Honestly - THIS is why all filibusters should be true filibusters - to force legislators to risk political consequences for opposing a bill. Maybe you do a great job and the public rallies behind you - or maybe you don't and people turn on you. At least there is some political calculation involved than hiding behind closed doors in opposition to something most people support.

 

Has he finally stopped?

Did you ever get the feeling he's less than blessed in a key area of the male anatomy, just like TFG?

 

Why exactly was McCarthy allowed to speak for two hours? There is no filibuster in the House. They have a rules committee that sets the time of debate. The Speaker could have gaveled him down at any point.
The only thing I can figure is Pelosi just let him go to make an ass of himself. Hoyer did say that McCarthy's goal was to push the vote into the dark of night, but they intended to do it in broad daylight.

 

Sun rising soon in DC.

If he ever quits, will someone ask him go explain, in precise detail, the GOP's plan? Nevermind, as usual they don't have one.

 

Imagine that

 

Meanwhile, in the laboratories of democracy …

 

The Speaker and minority leader have the privilege to speak for an unlimited time. The record he broke was Pelosi’s from 2018.

I disagree with his view on the bill, but at least he was up there talking instead of this shadow filibuster shit the Senate gets away with. I’m kinda OK with it.

 

The true believers took "Let's go Brandon" as the MSM covering for Biden deliberately. It blew up as a reproach to that, and because of the glee of the intellectual sixth graders at being able to say "Fuck Joe Biden" while still being the Party of Family Values.

 

Everyday I drive by a billboard with a picture of my never makes headlines Dem Congresswoman and a message saying that communism was my city’s number one enemy. So, not critical race theory? Thanks for the reminder Sen. Joseph McBillboard!
