Buying the vote.
Submitted by Pricknick on Mon, 01/04/2021 - 8:15pm
I call bullshit. I also know that it takes more than 51 votes (counting kambama) to make anything happen in the senate as it currently is governed.
No different than trump.
"The debate over $2,000 isn't some abstract debate in Washington. This is about real lives," Biden said. "If you send Jon and the reverend to Washington, those $2,000 checks will go out the door, restoring hope and decency and honor for so many people who are struggling right now."

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.
I agree
Plus there are all the blue dawg democrats that have already come out against more money. Pelosi keeps blaming McConnell for holding up the money, but she has let the bill for $2k a month sit on her desk since March. Wonder when people will wake up and see the dance between Pelosi and McConnell. They ain’t enemies.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
They ain’t enemies.
Partners in crime.
Nothing will change.
Except for the oceans.
We need to drown. It's the natural evolving of the human race.
So sad that we'll take everything with us before the oceans receed agaain.

The risk to humankind can not be overstated,
but declaring the end to “everything” is hyperbole.
We humans are literally predators sitting on the top of the food chain, totally dependent on the life forms “beneath” us. This includes the plant kingdom and simple life forms in the oceans that have the ability to collect the energy of light from the sun to transform elemental matter into compounds that support life. The rise and fall of the oceans and temperatures of expected climate change will not erase life.
As humans, we naturally tend to value human life above all others. But isn’t the reality that the vast web of the simplest life forms, the shoulders of which all other “higher” life forms stand, are the roots of all life on this planet?
Humans are recent developments on Earth, and have, by both their intelligence and their stupidity, set fire to their own house. Whatever remains of life when the fire burns out will rebuild itself. On the cosmic scale the failure of humans to understand and respect the interdependency of life in this world will be of little import.
It is a tragedy to be sure, for all of the life forms which will be expunged, but certainly not the end of the world.

What excuse will the Democrats use if they win?
1) "It's some arcane rule in the senate, rule bla bla bla."
2) "No excuse, we just added corporate immunity"
3) "You've already voted for us, Why should we give you anything?"
4) "No excuse. SUCKERS!"
On to Biden since 1973
Ala, Joe's leaked call with civil rights leaders:
"This white boy has already done more for you than anyone else!"
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
Just imagine for one moment if this was a Trump tweet...
There would be a run on pearls and fainting couches like the world has never seen.
(And, as we all know, it's pure BS. There's more than two Senate votes needed to pass this, if they wanted.)

David Sirota wrote about this on his blog Daily Poster.
He saw all these promises of the $2000 check as evidence that Biden's mind can be changed and that Bernie has influence on him.
I wrote to Sirota and said I thought this was the most cynical and shameful thing I've seen a politician do... it's practically blatant vote buying! This just goes to illustrate the total lack of moral sense on the part of Biden and the Democrats.
Just awful!!!!

One more observation....
Joe keeps calling one candidate "the reverend". Have fun finding that name on the ballot folks. Joe probably can't remember the guy's name.

Lyin' Biden's nose just grew another foot
Sending 2 more Dems to the Senate isn't going to do jack shit and he knows it. He doesn't INTEND to do jack shit.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
