Enough With The Cutesy Titles, People Are Dead: US Politics January 2021 pt 2

Hey Nice FBI Lady should be the title of this thread.

murdoch's post-vaccine visit to new york to determine the post-trump future of fox news is some shakespearean shit

A nasty Covid case would be the most benign thing that Murdoch has brought to this country

I think getting the vaccine does not mean you can’t still spread it. Should work out fine!

totally. also doesn’t mean you can’t get it! what was it something like 4-5%?

calling bullshit on rupert flying to NYC to fix things. isn't it an open secret in london media that rupert murdoch has advanced dementia and is not involved in the business any more? there's tons of news attributed to him but he hasn't made public remarks on camera for like 3 years.

cc suzy i guess?

It's likely bullshit, he read it on Popbitch

isn't it an open secret in london media that rupert murdoch has advanced dementia and is not involved in the business any more?

Not so much succession as suspicion.

i just spent like 30 minutes trying to find the most recent footage of him online and now i'm a rupert truther. i couldn't find anything since may 2017.

Apparently all that stuff was loaners from museums, etc., and that happens with every administration.

probably so but you absolutely know Trump is taking some souvenirs back to FL

His turds?

When is the leather bound printed edition of his tweets coming out? (asked as a joke but while typing... I could actually see it happening and even make him money)

sorry if this got posted. *flbttthhh*

Will wait for the two volume Library of America edition to place alongside Henry James and Susan Sontag

Bought it.

I was gifted that book of poems fyi

my favorite part is when he records himself alone in a room breaking a window, saying he broke it, and then saying no one got it on camera pic.twitter.com/izSLbEeYF8

Yeah that's the guy I complained about on the previous thread. He was on Anderson Cooper 360 as a self-proclaimed "left-wing activist" but this guy did nothing but encourage more violence and destruction. Looks like he has a history of opportunism and creating situations that he could profit out of him.

him = them.

yeah, hope that guy gets serious time tbh

Anybody watch Biden's big "we're firing up the money printer, folks" speech?

No, but if that's his plan, it's a good one.

I guess this should comas as no surprise, this guy has been aching for civil war

Does look like a human grocery store tbh.

Specifically the dumpster

ain't that fresh?

Very dumb to do $1400 checks and explain that $2000 included the $600 you got with Trump's name on it.

In the universe of things that can be called "very dumb", I'm not sure that is an outstanding example.

No doubt Republicans will beat them over the head with whines of "$1400 isn't $2000!" but if Biden can get another stimulus check (or more than one) passed later in 2020 it won't be a very effective tactic. And the COVID relief package Biden's proposing looks pretty damn ambitious. I admit I'm curious to know how they're planning to deal with McConnell torpedoing 100% of everything they attempt with the filibuster though.

President-Elect Biden served in he Senate for over 35 years. So he knows the plan he outlined tonight can’t pass “quickly” & will delay the 2k for hard hit Americans.

Let’s get the extra money to people first.

this fuckin guy irritates me so god damn much. THINGS TAKE FOREVER BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

Very dumb to do $1400 checks and explain that $2000 included the $600 you got with Trump's name on it.

...the democrats

Americans are pretty dumb but also money obsessed. I think they can figure out 600 + 1400 = 2000

that ol razzle dazzle baby

Plus, the $2000 amount still has the magical Trump Mark of Approval, which makes it harder for Republicans to knock it down. It's still the same political equation that applied just before the GA runoffs, except now the Republicans are staring at having lost in large part due to stalling the full $2000. It might not be entirely "very dumb" to repeat the play that won you the Senate.

what

you don't understand what I wrote?

thats correct

Rubio is such a tiny turd. As much as I hate Trump, he was really good at taking out other hateful people.

hes still there tho

I admit I'm curious to know how they're planning to deal with McConnell torpedoing 100% of everything they attempt with the filibuster though.

Sanders leads the budget committee now, and has signaled he would do it though reconciliation, requiring only 50 votes. Same as republican tax bill of 2017, as well as Obamacare

the left wing of the party completely willed these checks into existence, there was absolutely no interest in doing them from the party leadership, will be interesting to see how the left reacts to this centrist arithmetic, especially considering the $2000 was proposed under trump, its not particularly the ideal amount for continued survival, biden et al seem happy to pick up a couple senate seats off the idea move on
