Under promise, fail to deliver
I read this yesterday and didn't get it it, but now I do. President Joe.
Good luck in the midterms.
Who is the one on the left?
Aussie accent I think
2025 when another administration can torpedo it. Democrats are hopeless.
So my take on this based on an analysis I heard on Pod Save America.
This proposal is a straw dummy. They will propose it, and republicans will refuse to support it, denying it being passed into law. This will give the Dems cover to insert it into the budget reconciliation bill that only needs 51 votes to pass. the $15 min wage was the one policy that analysts are saying will have the hardest time being considered legal to be included. The fact that Bernie is involved makes me think this is not as cut and dry as it seems.
So are we getting stimulus checks again? Can we not pay our property taxes if we’re not getting rent money from tenants?
"$2000 checks will go out immediately"
Pelosi drops $1,000,000 on new Tesla shares, days before the Biden administration announce their plans to replace the entire government fleet (of almost 650,000 vechicles) with electric cars that are made in America.
Why wouldn't I? She has a history of being linked to shady insider trading and this is another possible example to add to the list.
As AOC said earlier this year, members of Congress should not be allowed to own individual stocks.
She's as corrupt as the rest of them even though she claims she speaks for the American people?
You’ll have to excuse Eboue, he’s one of the most ardent Pelosi supporters on the whole of the interwebs.
well since my joke didn't land, i might as well explain that i was referencing the last page of the US politics thread
Don't worry, they say explaining a joke always makes it funnier
im being told this is the exception that proves the rule
Wait Pelosi is not an altruistic samaritan? I thought she just looked like an evil soulless corporate shrew. Who knew..

That's only a week into the job.
Just because she has got a D next to her name, doesn't mean you have to excuse all her unethical behaviours.
It didn't really take insider knowledge to know that the market was going to dive because of corona.
Yea @Eboue you democrat shill.
Sanders has already repeatedly stated publicly that he will do what scumbag mcconnell has repeatedly done in the past to push bills through budget reconciliation.
I hear he's got YAS QUEEN PELOSI tattooed on his arse.
This was over a month before Biden announced those plans right? Hardly comparable to the investments in PPE suppliers on the day of congress' private covid briefing, but yeh still daft goverment officials are allowed to play the markets like this.
Can someone on here explain the significance of Biden‘s order to end private prison contracts? Would that end the whole business model as such?
States can still use them.
So a nice a little start but not close to being enough. Thanks.
How effective are exec order when the next president can annul stuff at his leisure
Some of Trumps EOs were very effective for 4 years and did a lot of damage.
Hopefully some of Biden’s EOs can do the opposite and Congress can pass the best of them into lasting law.
If a guy stay in office for 8 years then they are very effective. If not, then the next guy can undo them 4 years later, which is why its better to rely on proper laws passed by Congress than too many executive orders.
Checks tweet, holds up fingers to count...30 "days before"...sure there's another term for that.
I mean, back in December, who else could have heard about this hitherto unknown 'Tesla' company?
If it turns out she had some meeting back on December 21st where this was rumoured to be a policy than by all means go after her. But if you ain't got that maybe don't try to fabricate a story because, well to be honest I don't know, a strange deperate need to show that everyone is awful?
And often it’s a good job they can when following a president like Trump.
better to have good things than bad even temporarily, although this is also why progressive legislation is needed
Did people really think Eboue was defending Pelosi
Its his default position. Why wouldn’t they?
YAS Queen!!!!!!!!
