It is amazing that Trump accomplished so many things while playing golf 4-5 days a week.

It's probably a good thing he golfed 4 days a week. 4hr breaks from tweeting is a good thing for all involved.Overlander wrote: ↑Wed Dec 29, 2021 6:33 pm It is amazing that Trump accomplished so many things while playing golf 4-5 days a week.

Re: Uncle Joe
Wait a minute I thought we didn't like changing the rules around here? LOL
Re: Uncle Joe
The Republicans have given up on governing. Other than giving tax cuts to corporations and the super wealthy what meaningful legislation did they lead on and pass? The Senate is an anachronism, arguably based on perpetuating bigoted policies (ie. land ownership is more valuable than representative democracy). If this leads to the Senate imploding then something good would have been accomplished.
There are three important reforms needed to advance our country: abolish the Senate; abolish the electoral college; tie the salaries of all elected officials and their staff to a multiple of Federal minimum wage - that multiple cannot be changed, and the only way to increase pay is to increase the minimum wage.

Dumb. More stimulus payments could be disastrous to our economy. Especially if they aren't significantly more targeted to those who actually need them.
Positivity rate is more useful than raw case numbers. Our testing is way up and way better now. That contributes to the increase in cases.
Others may disagree, but we are through the worst of the pandemic and have been for some time. Unfortunately it will continue to kill people. Especially the unvaxxed.

Re: Uncle Joe
From a hot lefty chick’s comment:
People who aren’t politically in tune because they’re spending their day working to keep a roof over their heads will remember Trump temporarily cared for their material needs with some money, even if it wasn’t enough, it was more than they’re seeing with Biden, they’ll remember that.

Re: Uncle Joe
Trashbag Manchin strikes again. Nothing is going to get done in congress for years at this point.

…
The truth is, Manchin is best understood as a grifter from the ancestral home of King Coal. He is a man with coal dust in his veins who has used his political skills to enrich himself, not the people of his state. He drives an Italian-made Maserati, lives on a houseboat on the Potomac River when he is in D.C., pals around with corporate CEOs, and has a net worth of as much as $12 million. More to the point, his wealth has been accumulated through controversial coal-related businesses in his home state, including using his political muscle to keep open the dirtiest coal plant in West Virginia, which paid him nearly $5 million over the past decade in fees for coal handling, as well as costing West Virginia electricity consumers tens of millions of dollars in higher electricity rates (more about the details of this in a moment). Virginia Canter, who was ethics counsel to Presidents Obama and Clinton, unabashedly calls Manchin’s business operations “a grift.” To Canter, Manchin’s corruption is even more offensive than Donald Trump’s. “With Trump, the corruption was discretionary — you could choose to pay thousands of dollars to host an event at Mar-a-Lago or not,” Canter tells me. In contrast, Manchin is effectively taking money right out of the pockets of West Virginians when they pay their electric bills. They have no say in it. “It’s one of the most egregious conflicts of interest I’ve ever seen.”…

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: Uncle Joe
i will say this, in the past year i’ve written more to elected representatives than i had in my previous 40.5 years
not sure what that means, exactly, other than the current landscape has provided some motivation that wasn’t there before
