Asked by reporters yesterday if it’s time for congressional Democrats to move on to voting rights legislation and put off BBB until 2022, Biden said: “If we can get congressional voting rights done, we should do it. Nothing domestically is more important.”
Sounding like Biden made a deal with Manchin to postpone BBB in exchange for fiddling with filibuster on voting rights.
fast lane? would that that is so
usually only those in carpools get the fast lane. all 50 dem clowns have to fit in that car. ALL of them.
“…the more we learn about the insurrection on Jan 6th, the more it becomes clear we have two political parties in America. You have the democratic party and the anti-democratic party. Because only one of these parties care whether you get to vote in an election…”
bet the lyrics of the 2nd & 3rd verses will cause a lot more tears this year at the derby – especially for those who will sing “my old kentucky home blown away”
By ‘n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night!
Chorus:
Weep no more my lady.
Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.
Second Verse
They hunt no more for the possum and the coon; On the meadow, the hill, and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon; On the bench by the old cabin door.
The day goes by like a shadow o’er the heart; With sorrow where all was delight. The time has come when the people have to part;
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night!
Chorus
Third Verse
The head must bow and the back will have to bend; Wherever the people may go. A few more days and the trouble all will end; In the field where the sugar canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load; No matter, ‘twill never be light. A few more days till we totter on the road;
Then, my old Kentucky home, good night!
Chorus

“What’s really offensive is that four white parents can flex their privilege — risking children of color in the process — and expect to do it with impunity. That should be a red flag to everyone.”
I fear that postponing BBB will not lead to securing voting rights, but will lead only to neither happening. Unless Biden can leverage the fear of voting rights into pushing through BBB, I think both are a lost cause.
Republicans are UN-American, anti-democracy, and, soulless.
They don’t care about anything except keeping down anyone who isn’t white and rich, just stepping on fingers as folks struggle to keep from falling off the proverbial cliff.
I love POTUS Joe, but he should not give Republicans any wiggle room, for they are slimy worms.

Republican creep, Gym Jordan, wanted to make sure votes didn’t matter.
“You can see why this is so critical to ask Mr. Meadows about,” Schiff said. “About a lawmaker suggesting that the former vice president simply throw out votes that he unilaterally deems unconstitutional in order to overturn a presidential election and subvert the will of the American people.”

… when I see it.
Ha Pogo, we gotta hope
Just in time for lunch, all about eating invasive species.
Make Mitch and Rant agree to climate change spending in exchange for FEMA assistance.
Yeah, I know. That’s the kind of thing only a Republican would do.
Manchin the Smiley Senator- he sure is having a good time screwing over the Dem agenda, beaming in every pic

“…the latest crypto craze — NFTs.
The former first lady announced Thursday that she is selling an NFT, or a non-fungible token, titled “Melania’s Vision” — her first public endeavor since leaving office almost one year ago.
The NFT is the first digital art to be sold on her newly launched platform…”
Hopefully, nobody in the art (collecting) world wants to touch anything associated with a tRUMPSky.
NFTs aren’t cryptocurrency, just ownership of nothing
Got my booster today. All good, no side effects.
All good, no side effects.
craig, yet.
give it a day, at least a night before planning anything important tomorrow.
Half the shows on Broadway are/have been cancelled due to COVID outbreak
Thanks Pat, always happy to have an excuse not to do anything important
Dems complaining about Manchin and Sinema should also holler about how the 50 Senate Republicans oppose your right to vote
Republicans are far beyond hollering at. They’re like Wile E. Coyote when he runs off the cliff and just hangs there in mid-air till he realizes he’s out in mid-air. They have followed their natural progression from Newt’s time to the point now where they are no more and certainly no less than totally classic full blown Nazis. It’s over for them. Beyond redemption. Democrats are all that stand between them and the brink. (No nation has ever receded from the brink. —Marcus Tullius Cicero, prior to Marc Antiny’s having him pursued by his goons until they caught him; cutting off his hands and head to take back and put on display in the SENATE.)
Manchin and Senema are Republicans. Liz Cheney and Kinzinger are Democrats, no matter what they all choose to call themselves at the moment. We (I use the term loosely) either get it figured out or we will wind up much like the people proscribed on the Lists of Sulla, then Octavian and Antony. If anyone believes that these current gop, if victorious, would behave any one whit different from Torquemada, Sulla, Robespierre, Stalin, Hitler, Savonarola, Longshanks——They could not be different. They would be forced by circumstance and the great god Necessity to follow them all the way down.
And we—again loosely—will be those who are marked for death. Does anyone believe Titler wouldn’t get around to having people murdered?
Think about it, Darlin’.
I get my booster tomorrow. Hope it’s easier than el dos dose. Craig, I’ll need an update, as there’s a 24-hour lag in vax time.
Met Opera will require boosters of staff and audience. Hoping it gets back to late autumn levels after the holidays. If not, I bought trip insurance.
“Titler” It’s so obvious. Good one, Sturg.
If Mrs. tRUMPsky can get someone to pay for nothing…it sounds about right.

“…the top 10% of NFT buyers and sellers comprise 85% of all the transactions–once you buy or sell you’re more likely to keep doing so, which will make publishers like Ubisoft and EA quite happy–and only 20% of all NFTs sold between 2017 – 2021 on Etherum and WAX were re-sold. In other words, the NFT market absolutely has whales and patient owners who very much HODL.”

American Ballet Theater just announced its summer season starting in mid-June.
Octavian didn’t want to proscribe Cicero, But Antony had a real bitch and wanted that sucker outa heah.
in the end Antony traded a couple of names, Octavian relented, and Cicero became imminently whackable. Cicero’s big problem: being a nincompoop he never thought they’d do it. He thought surely they’d have need of his brilliance. So the goons came upon him in the yard where he’d been dithering about whether to get onto the boat bound for Greece. Would have bought him a little time, could maybe have run out the clock, but—noooooooooo.
Very Roman. Cicero’s head sitting upright on a podium or something next to those hands which had written so much evil shit…..Antony’s wife Fulvia comes in and goes over to Cicero’s head, reaches in and pullls out his tongue, whips out a long hair pin and jabs it thru his tongue. She had a real beef. That’s cold, baby.

“Kentucky’s entire congressional delegation, which has only one Democrat, was invited to travel with the President, according to the White House.“
“A single Kentucky Republican travels with Biden to survey tornado and storm damage”
Republicans are serving some weak, damned tea.
They are nazis…..they can’t consort with the enemy
So watching this Adam Jenne dude – wears women’s panties as a mask when he flies (but not on United – he’s banned) and compares himself to Rosa Parks. I didn’t realize Rosa was a white fathead asshole.
