I have to imagine the sergeant at arms wants to use that ass whooping stick he's been carrying around all these years...

" There are a lot of good billionaires out there..."

Let me stop you right there pal. There is no such thing.

Its also not like Trump wasn't affecting the markets until the day he was inaugurated. He was literally illegally meeting with foreign leaders during the campaign.

So you're going to try and lecture people on Democratic party politics but aren't aware that's exactly what happened? Sinema and Manchin were ostracized and are not only no longer Democrats, they no longer hold office.

Nice talking with you, but I'm not going to waste my time if you're here in bad faith or completely uninformed. Have a nice day!

It's not about honoring PFC Bragg or any soldier, it's about honoring racism, PFC Bragg just happens to fit their specific need here.

I'm okay with testing your hypothesis.

The 51 senators needed to nix the filibuster weren't there. There were 49 that said they would.

You're absolutely correct, but I prefer "Nazi" solely because that word specifically has it's own level of disgust to me, and I want to convey that level of disgust for republicans. No other shorthand carries the proper emotional connotation for me.

Create a shitload more atheists?

Yeah I'm not believing shit that comes out of this person's mouth. Platforming her does more damage to women than ignoring this one proven liar's words.

If an elected Republican has a problem, they can figure it out themselves. That's what they've told us they want for the world. I would take absolutely no action to help these people if they were in need. Fuck em.

Me too. Hopefully they release more.

We just need one that doesn't suck giant donkey balls.

and the only meaningful legislation they managed to pass in that time was a Republican (Mitt Romney’s) healthcare plan

They had a whopping 80 days to pass the largest healthcare overhaul in a generation, with not a single vote to spare and Joe Lieberman refusing to play ball with a bunch of very much need systemic changes.

Compare that to the absolute torrent of shit being done in just 2 weeks with a Republican supermajority.

How many bills has Congress sent to Trump to sign this session? How many Republican priorities are being passed through Congress right now? What meaningful BILLS has the GOP majority passed outside of tax cuts that need a simply majority to pass?

None. Because it is significantly easier to stop something than it is to push it forward.

I agree that Democrats have not used every tool they have, but I'm simply saying they have never had the tools to make sweeping changes like a lot of people seem to think.

If they had 60+ votes in the Senate and a strong majority in the house like they should, I would fully expect them to pass good legislation.

when Democrats were in power over the last 32 years

I agree with you, and would also like to point out that "power" that they had was also CONSTANTLY razor thin at best.

Clearly they could be more effective with the power they do have, but voters have never given them the legislative authority needed to pass the sweeping reforms they demand. Congress is literally set up to give conservatives an advantage. 51/49 is not control of the Senate when you need to proactively do something, it's only enough to block action.

Enjoy your party peanuts, but that might be the reason your farts are as such.

Who fucking talks like this?

Yeah I originally put penguins but decided to fact check myself. They do not have penguins, but do have polar bears, humback whales, reindeer, and walruses.

Greenland seems pretty cool as is. I see no reason why we need to mess it up.

There will be some polar bears feeling very left out.

Sure Jan. Have a nice day.

You are literally living in a different reality than the rest of us, there's not much else to say. I know you think this is just a giant echo chamber and everyone else are the crazy ones, but Jesus...

Listen, some of us bots are still coming to terms with this shit.
