U.S. Politics: The Biggest Trade in WNBA History

[Zora]

Oh. Well, I do remember there was something they did wrong that people were against it.

The screw-up was the lack of checks.

Even if the policy was "no masks if you're vaccinated" on paper, anyone with the slightest understanding of sociology knew the de facto policy would be "no masks period." CDC expected the former; the latter panned out.

I do think there was some pressure from above, where you could have had a push for some kind of vaccine passport for verification, but it would have been seen as potentially too politically unpopular.

Manchin sucks but there’s some understanding there. I truly do not get what Sinema is trying to be.

She's just being a selfish asshole.

She's just being a selfish asshole.

She thinks she's MTG but using a Democrat label.

Not cute. Not funny.

And civic duty overrides vacations.

Exactly.

She needs to be voted out.

She’s almost 40 points underwater with Dems since she decided to play this role, so I don’t see how she survives a primary.

No Dem is winning Arizona after the primary until Voting Rights are secured.

U.S. lawmaker spends night outside Capitol to protest return of evictions

U.S. Representative Cori Bush, who was evicted three times and lived in her car with her two children before her career in politics, spent a sleepless night on the U.S. Capitol steps to protest the end on Saturday of a pandemic freeze on evictions.

www.reuters.com

Today the national eviction ban expires, because neither Biden, Congress, or the CDC did jack squat to renew it past July 31. Which is a MOMUMENTAL screwup. I have family that works with the homeless or those who are in the "At Risk at Homelessness" category. According to said family members, the people in the latter category are freaking out about this big time. People of color are the ones that are being hit hard the most. This is the sort of crap that will depress turnout for the Democrats, folks.

Apologies for the language, but getting evicted is not funny. At all.

Personally I think there is not a single chance in the world that the wife of a man who made, and continues to make, his millions in San Francisco real estate and debt collection wasn't aware of this from day one.

That they just had a voice vote that was blocked means that there were enough Dems present that disagreed with keeping it going, but leadership didn’t want to put names to it.

The Democrats want to kill the poor just as much as the Republicans, they just realize they should try to avoid saying as much in public.

Haven't posted in a while but check this video, very good material

The Democrats want to kill the poor just as much as the Republicans, they just realize they should try to avoid saying as much in public.

All politicians want to kill non-sycophants, as well as anarchists.

It's almost like negative urges are brought forth by being involved with power struggles, no matter who you are or what you adhere to.

Pelosi is still a piece of ****.

They also found he intentionally went after victims for coming out against him

I'm sure his brother will invite him back on for a real hardball interview with questions like "who does mom like more?" and "why is there a conspiracy against this wonderful man?

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced New Yorkers will soon need to show proof of vaccination for most indoor events:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." - Benjamin Franklin

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry

U.S. Constitution: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." -That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to ABOLISH it."

Also in the 1770’s: “you have a 50% chance of dying before adulthood due to things like disease, wonder how you’d feel if that didn’t have to happen”

All the conservatives, centrists, and Khive cretins eating **** on my timeline right now gives me life, after the White House back pedaled, extending the moratorium when they said they couldn't.

We’re not losing student debt

We’re not losing student debt

We never were.

And we won't.

This was patently obvious from the start.

It's almost like people should make contingencies outside of the government helping them, because they exist to keep things in lockstep for the rich to avoid the precedent that rich people can be prosecuted for their crimes, since US law is based on precedent.

We’re not losing student debt

Okay, never mind that this is complete ghoul ****, because I have nothing else to add there -- it's true and we should all say it. I'm just kind of in awe about the "didn't know student debt was a thing" thing. Mostly on the basis of the fact that I ****ing assure you that it's false.
