(FOOD FIGHT!); House Dems furious with Senate leaders
House Dems furious with Senate leaders
House Democrats went into the post-shutdown recess this week voicing bitter feelings about their party’s Senate leadership, sowing new tensions between the chambers at a crucial juncture in the budget and immigration debates.
Members of the liberal-heavy House Democratic Caucus are furious that Senate leaders, after forcing a government shutdown, agreed to reopen it without a firm commitment from the GOP to enact legislation protecting recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
The friction threatens to weaken the Democrats’ hand heading into the next shutdown deadline, Feb. 8; undermine their bid to win protections for DACA recipients; and complicate their efforts to rally behind a unified message ahead of November’s midterm elections, when both chambers are in play.
“If there were ever a case for the undemocratic nature of the Senate, this confirms it. They are out of touch with where the grass roots of this party is,” said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a liberal freshman.
“I don’t see what we got out of this.”

I can tell Ro what the Dims got out if this. Humiliated and shown to be a bunch of opportunistic weasels.
Anyone who trusts this bunch is crazy.

you mean... exposed again
For me personally, I think after a year of anti-Trump resistance hysteria them giving yet more surveillance power to Trump pretty much told the story.
A lot of wanderers in the U.S. political desert recognize that all the duopoly has to offer is a choice of mirages. Come, let us trudge towards empty expanse of sand #1, littered with the bleached bones of Deaniacs and Hope and Changers.

Sure it did.
He's the Commie Hitler Antichrist, and I just gave him more power to spy on everybody. But please turn out to vote so we can stop him.

And then there's how I also voted
For his tax package. I mean, even the purveyor of the racist apocalypse can have a good idea about taxes now and again, am I right?

The republicans are going to need the democrat's help on
the tax bill when they start working on cleaning it up. Anyone want to believe that the democrats won't help them? Manchkin expressed his dismay over not being included on it in the beginning. He said that if the republicans had gone through regular order they would have gotten 70 votes to pass it. You would think that since he votes with the republicans over 90% of the time that democrats would find someone else for his seat, but no. He gives them the cover for not being able to block the republicans. There is always an excuse for that.
This just doesn't get old--the DNC ride at Disney!

Enough Trump Bashing, Democrats

It's getting boring and it's certainly unproductive. Except for the 35% hard core Trumpists most Americans know about Trump and can predict his changing reactions to all the issues. What's the point of more anti-Trump editorials and articles, he loves it and it's getting repetitive. It's better to work on policy and strategy. They could also study how and why Bernie got so many votes.
To thine own self be true.
"Liberal-heavy?" In what universe?
Does "liberal" now mean "I don't want to pour money into an even bigger border wall?"
At what point is everybody just going to admit that none of these terms mean anything at all anymore?

Hand that politician a script--or is it a hostage statement?
On the other hand, Bernie spoke up for a bigger border wall, didn't he? Though as I said elsewhere, I don't believe he really supports that position. But that's the point, isn't it? Why do we keep pretending any of this has to do with what any of these politicians believe, much less some ideological position they have? Everything they do is determined by expediency.

He's the one that told us how it was OK
to take large amounts of money from individuals as long as you don't take it from corporations.
You can't make this shit up.
