The right-wing Democrats, conspiring with GOP leader McConnell, want only their Exxon-dictated infrastructure deal to pass.
The progressives are willing to vote for the Exxon bill provided Biden’s jobs and families act passes in tandem.
Who’s really being partisan?
if she votes against the reconciliation bill. It’s that simple. Sen. Sinema tipped her hand this morning when she declared her opposition to the budget resolution.
It’s clear what her game, and Manchin’s, and McConnell’s is, as well as the obedient monkeys in the House sabotage caucus.
This is a set up.
Both bills must be yoked together or neither will pass.
It’s bad enough that Sens. Fashion Forward and Coal Slurry are actively working to sabotage Biden’s agenda, no doubt at the urging of their friends at Exon and their midnight-oil-burning with treasonous Mitch McConnell.
But Rep. Gottheimer, the lead saboteur in the House, is a Clinton ally. We know that all things Bernie Sanders are anathema to the Clintons, based on their delusion that he cost Hillary the election and based on their fury that he has worked to expose the disasters wrought by their neoliberal agenda. Sanders is, of course, the prime mover behind the reconciliation bill.
Are the Clintons supplying stage whispers from the wings”
Biden, Schiumer and Pelosi need to start some serious head-knocking a la LBJ.
In 2001, the Taliban offered to surrender and to turn over Bin Laden–but GWB said no.
He needed a war.
GWB is a war criminal.
Thank you to the journalists who ARE supplying the context that the corporate media so rarely does.
And the FCC does nothing.
Axios reports how Koch-funded, McConnell-confabbing Democratic senators Sinema and Manchin are colluding with “moderate” House Dems to twist Pelosi’s arm by demanding immediate passage of the infrastructure bill, which would then give them the leverage to tank the reconciliation bill.
The House Progressive Caucus will not stand for this bullshit; they are the ones with the leverage.
Unfortunately, Axios itself didn’t see fit to report on that crucial bit of information.
But Pelosi had better remember.
His latest put-downs of McConnell demonstrate anew that in the swampland that is Trump’s psyche, complete lack of self-awareness cohabits with complete addiction to projection and a brazen lack of shame.
Noel Casler in a recent “Car Rant”:
“You ever notice that all these Republican governors are in Southern states that somehow fall behind in education and cultural appreciation and humanities? That was all the groundwork that Reagan set up. Lee Atwater: Southern Strategy. There’s a reason Reagan defunded the NEA. the reason that arts education went out of our schools, ’cause they knew they needed a populist that was raised on NASCAR and football, and not ballet, not humanities. They weren’t going to see Shakespeare. They weren’t taking theater in school, because they want them dumb, because they’re more susceptible to idiots who come along like Trump and De Santis and Governor Abbot and say, “Wave a flag–get a gun–you don’t want those woke people with purple hair coming into your community.” And these people are dying. And these cynical GOP guys–they don’t care. De Santis isn’t losing any sleep on a bunch of rubes dying in the Panhandle from COVID.”
“McConnell is the greatest traitor to this country since Robert E. Lee (with the difference that McConnell has been trying to take our country down from within),” Mary Trump writes in The New Republic.
Owens doesn’t believe in free speech. She doesn’t even believe in private enterprise. She believes only in promoting herself and amassing power for the extreme right wing.
Owens goes on TV and says that the January 6 coup attempt was a love in. She has no credibility whatsoever.
And no, the circumstances of her rise “from nothing” are in no way relevant to evaluating the positions she espouses.
The American Booksellers Association has every right to call out her new edition of tract trash for what it is.
Don’t back down, ABA.
