“You should have saved up a bit more and bought something less gaudy”

Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I’m scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.

Forgot to say “sudo”

My point is that it’s very odd to focus on the Democrats specifically when Republicans brought the bills up for a vote, and Republicans also basically unanimously voted for it…more Republicans voted for it than Democrats, and a Republican president is signing the bill.

Republicans pushed it through, Democrats voted for it also. You are allowed to criticize either party for voting for it, but you are being inaccurate if you are saying the Democrats are disproportionately responsible for passage, as the term “pushed it through” means.

Ok so 2 people out of 535 in Republican-controlled Congress voted against it, how is it accurate to say “Democrats pushed it through”?

Republicans pass legislation through the two houses of Congress they entirely control, a Republican president signs it.

You: “The Democrats pushed this through.”

They exist for the important work of censoring critics.

My town had an extremely generically named “spa” that I passed by all the time and joked that it must be a drug ring and I found out that no actually they were a human trafficking ring and they got shut down by the police.

McSorleys in NYC was men only until a 1970 legal ruling, and didn’t have a women’s restroom until 1986.

Their motto prior to 1970 was “Good Ale, Raw Onions and No Ladies”

Tiffany was similarly not used as a first name until Tiffany & Co, and particularly Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the 1958 novel/1961 movie.

The “Tiffany” from Tiffany & Co was a last name, and that owner was one of a handful of Tiffany’s in the world at the time of the founding.

I’m not the hypocrite here…neither of us are doing anything that would protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by Russia, I’m just admitting it while you’re pretending your impotent wails are doing anything so you can look down on everyone else.

So you’re saying they’re yelling at the liberal to fix the boat and then the guy with the gun throws them off the boat? Doesn’t sound like you’re disagreeing with me.

“Fixing the boat” implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.

You seem to know a lot of lore here I’ve never heard of this person.

I have HAD it with these monkey-fightin’ snakes, on this Monday-Friday plane!

Wait is there a federated podcast app? In what way would that be different than any other?

The default if Congress can’t pass legislation should be that legislation doesn’t happen.

I was fine with like 80% of Obama and like 60% of Clinton’s actual policies while enjoying the economy that I don’t credit him for. But then W Bush was like a 10% and Trump 1 maybe 15% (Warp Speed, passing the vast majority of Covid stimulus, ironically all the stuff he’s against now) and I’m batting zero so far on Trump 2 but I assume at some point he’ll do something I agree with.

I try to keep a sense of perspective, every president I disagree with seems to be the worst president ever at the time.

I really want to say Bush’s useless Trillion dollar wars are worse than this.

But it’s close and we have 3.5 more years of this.

I don’t have a ton of “the court is wrong” opinions, but Article 1 section 8 of the Constitution flatly gives Congress the responsibility of regulating trade and imposing tariffs. The President just doesn’t (shouldn’t) have the authority to change rates. The executive needs to execute the will of the Legislative branch.
