Fragile Bird Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I just saw Trump signing the stimulus bill. No Democrats were invited to the ceremony, Republicans only. Fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Bloody hell. I also just saw a comment from the governor of Michigan (‘that woman’) who said when Trump announced that states should do things by themselves they started looking for all kinds of supplies, but some of the suppliers told them they were instructed not to deal with Michigan. What fucking fuckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, that woman keeps getting a ton of national air time, inching her closer to being a VP pick.

Mudguard Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Jace, Basilissa said: I'll take my side's rapist. It's one thing to have treated governing a state as a zero-sum exercise of political gamesmanship but Republicans literally set the decency bar at 0. Joe could rape ten women this month and as long as he looks moderately ashamed of himself when questioned, he's my guy. I'm voting Biden because he's still better than Trump, but I'm not happy about it. He's a terrible candidate that I can see losing in November despite running against a complete idiot that has now caused the death of thousands.

Nothing will happen in April. Quite a few states have explicitly forbidden evictions and pretty much everyone has told landlords to let renters get away with it for now. However... the rent is not forgiven, it's merely delayed and at some point the pandemic will end and all those bills will come due... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudguard Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Kalbear said: I think it probably is a bit less credible, in that she is a person who was active in political support and has been very pro-Putin in the past. That isn't slamming her in any way - it's simply pointing out that she has credible motives to actually want him to fail in some way, whereas Ford was a complete nobody who isn't particularly affected by Kavanaugh. In addition, to my knowledge there's no contemporaneous or other history of her talking about this in the past, unlike Ford. There are no others coming forward to corroborate it or her study. Again, I would 100% believe that Biden did this without any real issue, but she isn't quite as easily credible. She told at the time her mom (now dead), her brother, and a friend, both who have confirmed her account. The pro Russia and Putin stuff doesn't hurt her credibility for me. I don't see this as being motivated by a desire to help Putin or Russia. Just looks a smear job to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden has the same flaws as Trump, but then Trump has so many more. Trump is obviously far worse and forget a recession in the fall, "instant recession" is now a term. People are on a sugar high. It won't last. I keep hearing 30% unemployment is the number a lot of people are looking at for the end of the quarter. Not that it will actually be that bad, but could it be that bad? If we're in that kind of situation, how many things are a complete fucking disaster? What is coming will be interesting. There are so many different outcomes, but one factor is known, we will spend. As a 31 year old, why can't any global event actually make the world I want to live in be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkerX Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Trump is already stating he will ignore key provisions in the relief package. Lawsuits to follow? https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-chips-away-at-congress-role-in-coronavirus-relief-oversight/ar-BB11OyWF?ocid=ob-fb-enus-580&fbclid=IwAR1JKVGBJmUgb0UVZ3iMPHL52Td_A8fbIVAUftlEJfQarc3UMapdGkkpnUs Under the law, the chair of the new committee will be appointed by the leader of longstanding council of federal inspectors general, who in turn is required to discuss the appointment with Pelosi, Schumer, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy. Trump indicated that he wouldn't stand in the way of voluntary communication with Congress. "But a requirement to consult with the Congress regarding executive decision-making, including with respect to the President's Article II authority to oversee executive branch operations, violates the separation of powers by intruding upon the President's power and duty to supervise the staffing of the executive branch," Trump wrote. Trump concluded his signing statement by rejecting several provisions in the new law that require the administration to recommend legislation to Congress. "[M]y Administration will continue the practice of treating provisions like these as advisory and non-binding," he wrote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It's almost like he's a bad faith actor or something and Democrats should have told him he could go sign his own gravestone instead of letting him sign a triumph document. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry of the Lawn Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Well looks like the relief bill is getting shittier as we learn more about it. NY is not qualifying, whatever tf that means, for the $600 weekly unemployment insurance expansion. Big surprise that this is mostly a corporate bailout.

If this is true, how did they miss it? Like many other women, she did not come forth until recently after the me too movement really took off. She worked for Biden as a low level staffer for less than a year over 25 years ago. I doubt they ever talked to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
