And what would happen if a few deadbeat Repubs in the House robbed those few supposedly stubborn obstructionist Dems of all their power by, you know, voting FOR that Social Infrastructure bill in order to get both bills passed quickly and easily? Perhaps even after, oh I don't know, CONTRIBUTING to the creation of it to include items they want to add and modifying items they don't like?

If just a handful of votes are needed from either the far left democrats or some moderate republicans.

Well either one could get done. There are a few republicans from reddish states that can get reelected without help from TrumpShit.

The pub running for governor of Virginia recently told the Donald 'thanks, but no thanks', when TrumpShit offered to campaign with him.

Dem were saying last night that a dealio will happen.

Manchin said a day or two ago that he wanted the social infrastructure bill at no more than $1. 5 trillion, but he will probably get $1.75 shoved down his throat.

Ha! The seething fury of white shitlibs at blacks who escape the democrat plantation is truly something to behold.

I guess you must've thought the word "parody" in the link had something to do with parrots. Or maybe a pair of dice.

ROFLMAO.

The difference is that in elections in Thailand (and pretty much everywhere else) they don't spam tens of millions of ballots out to every address in the country regardless of who actually lives there, or accept them back en masse from leftist political party operatives.

BFD. The only ballots that count are the ones that are returned and signed with a signature that matches the signature on file when the voter registered.

You are just another RethugliKKKan who doesn't understand signature matching.

This is where we disagree. The way I see it enough Republicans voted with the Democrats to pass the infrastructure bill which would provide the jobs and much needed repairs besides providing a boost to the economy. It's the progressive Democrats who won't allow this bill to pass because they don't believe that their fellow democrats will pass the build back better bill with all of the free stuff, and they know the Republicans won't vote for that bill.

So I agree with Brian Williams on this. (I haven't been able to say that very often, LOL).

I know it is outrageous to even suggest deadbeat Repubs in Congress actually DO SOMETHING and WORK for a living. Brian Williams and most Mainsteam Media pundits wouldn't dare suggest such a thing.

Apparently, as long as all the deadbeat do-nothing Repubs in Congress start every congressional session by announcing "We're not going to work for our pay this year," they are politely absolved of any responsibility or blame for the failure of bills that are proposed, put on the table for debate and require a majority vote in the House and a 50+1 vote in the Senate to pass.

And Mainstream Media will be right there to make sure "There is nobody to blame but the Democrats" when bills are not passed thanks to zero participation by deadbeat Repubs in either or both Houses of Congress.

So they get a full pass and total absolution from you as well as Brian Williams for that, huh? Interesting. How nice for them.

Btw, both of those Infrastructure bills will create a ton of jobs well into the future, will dramatically improve the quality of life for all Americans and will return more on the investment than they cost. It isn't like either one of them is all huge cost with no meaningful upside. They are bills proposed and submitted by Dems, not Repubs.

In fact, for all the Repubs claiming to be hand-wringing worried about inflation, that 2nd one in particular is anti inflationary.

Precisely why they shouldn't be allowed to vote at all unless they become American citizens. Can you vote in Thailand? And I assume that you're here legally 555.

Please kindly provide sources where non-citizens have successfully voted in American national elections.

Here's another one for you. I think you're in denial.

When even the legacy fake news is admitting something which is bad for the dems, you know in reality it is at least ten times worse.

Of course, they are allowed a little more leeway in non-election years in order to pretend to be impartial. If this was October 2022, and certainly October 2024, the news would be covered up just like Hunter's laptop and Tara Reade.

You're whole premise that people who benefit greatly from one Party's policies vs suffering greatly from another Party's policies will then vote for the former and not for the latter is deeply flawed reasoning and most definitely not supported by empirical evidence from the past or present.

If that were true nearly 100% of the American electorate would have voted for the Dems and only a tiny number of loony fringe masochists would have voted for Repubs since the early 1930's.

Arrested. And then released and told show up at an immigration office or given a court date, which well over 90% never attend.

And guess what. Biden's handlers have now banned ICE from chasing them when they fail to show up, meaning that nobody is enforcing immigration law and they get to stay forever, get welfare, undercut Americans, and vote illegally. Which is exactly what the democrats want.

I just heard Brian Williams, MSNBCs nightly news host, remind his viewers for the umpteenth time that any failure to pass whatever America wants done for their infrastructure "is entirely on the Democrats." lol. All while every deadbeat Repub in Congress goes unmentioned sitting with their thumbs up their ass doing nothing for their pay as usual.

I don't think your interpretation of mainstream media motivations is fair. They are struggling to present themselves as neutral and fair, hence the attacks. This neutrality is something that Fox has never cared about since the day of its creation. They clearly and openly celebrate themselves as a mouthpiece for republicans.

As to others like OAN, Newsmax and dozens of radio shows around the country, those would've made Dr. Goebbels proud. Nothing to add there.

But there is nothing "fair" about spinning positive accomplishments by the only Party (Dems) whose legislation results ARE positive and typically historically so as negative and another example of what losers they are while also spinning the horrific legislative results of the only Party (Repub) that has gifted America with every major Recession, Depression and Massive USA Job Destruction in 100 years as more evidence that "those winner Republicans just handle the economy better than Democrats." Lol

It is as much if not more aggressive anti-Dem, pro-Repub electioneering as you'll see on FUX News, OAN News, NEWSMAX or any other loony fake news source. Worse, since Mainstream Media sources have been doing it longer and combined have a much, much bigger audience.

1. So 1 million people have been arrested at the border. Not been given a free hand to walk into America like our self-proclaimed "Former Democrat" said.

What's Biden's fault then? That they keep trying?

2. Dumping a long list of executive orders some of which have nothing to do with an issue at hand doesn't constitute a valid argument. I repeat, the most egregious Trump's Title 42 is still in place and used actively. This is the only executive order that matters.

Now Now stop acting like you REALLY don't know WTF is going on.

Deny and ignore and hope the Biden crises doesn't affect your welfare check. But you better start worrying as the illegals are going to want your welfare check.

No matter what your political party or beliefs I think we all can agree that Biden is a huge fuck up as President. Iy is a sad state of affairs.
