600 is not the same as 2000
The Biden Presidency

I agree. The delivery mechanism is irrelevant. All Trump is doing in his own attention seeking way is making Biden's job easier once he's in office, since he may not be able to get more money through if there's a R Senate.
Rachel Maddow has spent 5 minutes and counting complaining about Trump not funding the military. Two imperialist parties in this country.
Sorry I misread the initial reply. Optics aren't great when Trump is the one pushing to get people more help now while Biden congratulates Congress on that atrocious bill.
"the president has left the white house and no one knows if he will ever come back"
what the feck is she talking about. shut up dummy
Agreed, its a ridiculous bill given all the off topic nonsense that got added to it. I don't think Trump will get any special credit for demanding more money given that he is clearly doing it as a ploy to shift media attention away from the litany of pardons he just granted. In the end, if people get 3x plus more money then its a win for everyone.
Aren't random add-ons standard practice in US bills though? I suppose it stands out more now, but I'm sure I've read about similar stuff many times before.
idk who i replied to in the other thread, so sorry if i'm repeating, but *the entire covid stimulus* is being done under some mexican trade agreement bill.
...
missed this in the student debt thread. interesting stuff, i wonder if he's referring to john kerry's plan to privatise air and forests.
Does anyone know how much money would cost to wipe off the student debt?
Oh my fecking god. All the memes were right. He still thinks bipartisanship is the road - and that it's going to work.
What is the other option if the Dems do not win both Georgia races? Some things can be done with executive orders, but when it comes to the budget (which directly influences most of his program) it needs to pass in the Senate. Similarly when it comes to choosing federal (and if needed supreme court) justices, it needs to pass a Senate vote (the bigger problem there would be for Mitch to give a vote in the first place).
I know that saying bipartisanship is dead is cool and all that, but what options does he have if Dems don't win both Senate races?
You'd be correct if engaging in bipartisanship would result in anything good. In reality the GOP will end up on top, like they always do when the moderate Dems try to work with them.
I do not see any other option though. GOP always ending up top is a legend, go to some right-wing forum and they would be complaining that Dems get always their way in bipartisanship.
There are only two ways of doing stuff in the US: you either win both chambers of the congress and the presidency (and even then, you need to end the filibuster which seems impossible with Manchin saying that he will vote against it), or you do bipartisanship. There is no other option.
Is it good? No. But tell me some other option.

Go to a right-wing forum and they will be celebrating their dominance over the Dems, rather. It's not a myth at all.
If you wanna vomit, go to thedonald.win and they would be complaining that communist Dems are getting their way all the time, and most GOP are RINOs who have sold themselves to Dems and Chinese. Of course, that is an extreme case, cause it is a genuinely alt-right forum, but still. Even in more normal forums like askaconservative, conservatives seem to think that Dems are better at negotiating. Like how we have McConnell as bogeyman, they have Pelosi.
By definition, bipartisanship means that neither side is satisfied. If you don’t like it, tough luck. Maybe find better politicians who will win both the chambers and presidency.
I didn't know that bit. Yes, that's very creative...
Stop it. Don’t do that.
thank god the resistance hero bezos post doesn't have to face the irrational opposition of the president anymore.
the bullshit was always going to happen, still... me so sad.
I don’t think anyone was really expecting the Biden presidency to be anything better than “not as bad as Trump”.
More of the same before Trump and we'll go full circle by either having Trump in 2024 or Trump lite Tom Cotton.
Groundwork being set
I hope kamala harris [redacted]
Isn't that the first word every american child says?
All those fweedom babies running around, a group of them are called bunch of bravehearts
I bet everyone clapped
rumbled. Didnt Biden also plagiarise a speech by the UK Labour leader some time late 80s?Yep a Neil Kinnock speech
Biden also recently said he got arrest in South Africa and that Mandela personally thanked him
It’s all a big fecking game
I have very, very low expectations for a Biden administration but that is still infinitely better than the shower of shite that has been in place for the last 4 years.
"Whats your favourite film as a child, Kamala?"
"Bwave hawt!"
"Bwave hawt!"
Yep. He can say he's an alien for all I care. Anyone is better than that excuse of a human being.
She won a grand total of zero delegates in the primary.
So you walk around like Leatherface, wearing someone else's memories, get caught doing it and it doesn't even matter. Lie, cheat, steal, kill. Don't matter.
Any idea how the inaguaration for Biden will work? Will it be a virtual one, or done indoors (similar to Reagan's one in 1985)
The inauguration people have stated that upwards of 90% to 95% of it will be virtual. Actual swearing in is the only segment that will be ‘in person’ with bare minimum of people needed to attend.
They have admitted that the swearing in might ultimately be the only ‘in person’ element when it is all said & done, however.
Thanks.
