Beware the Ides of March -- U.S. Politics March 2021

I mean free mdma >>>> both of those other things

poll time?

legal weed has been an economic boon for states, legal E would really provide stimulus post-vaccine

MDMA machine >>>>> blowjob machine

MDMA machine goes rrrrRRRRRRRRMMmmmmmwaaoowwwwwww

Alfred i knew you'd understand.

well, Roisin Murphy's been blasting at Soto Manse for the last hour, so

I'd be fine with enough money to afford a house with a yard or condo with a balcony in my overpriced city -- $30k would help with the downpayment/reducing monthly mortgage payments

in america, no one knew if they had won or lost

FYI I’m imagining a very large and noisy blowjob machine, like the size of a chest freezer maybe.

I don't offer anecdotal evidence lightly, but I can't be alone in thinking of two or three families who will automatically benefit

uh, I can think of about 50 easy

FYI I’m imagining a very large and noisy blowjob machine,

in the words of Kim Gordon, "what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?"

no you're imagining ME.

I’ve seen pictures of you and you are not as wide as a chest freezer

I compensate with very large noises.

MDMA is nullified by my SSRIs, can I substitute my free drug

no, but enjoy the BlowMatic 6900

clearly I need to update my DRUGS NOT JOBS t-shirt

wait a second, what is this free drug

and DON'T say the power of reading

it's the power of love!

goddamn it. it's always the power of love, i should have known

sometimes i am frightened but i’m ready to learn

MDMA is nullified by my SSRIs, can I substitute my free drug

anyone on SSRIs gets a four-day weekend once a month so they can taper meds for a few workdays and then do one drop Friday / two Saturday, taper back onto SSRIS on the Monday. half-price voucher for 5-HTP to smooth out Sunday.

also research grants to all universities to determine whether the MDMAvailable society even needs SSRIs.

I would take the solid gold cadillac, sell it (assuming all the other solid gold cadillacs out there don't crash the market), and possibly buy a little bit of hopefully-legal MDMA with the proceeds, among many other things.

count me in on the positive side of all this, w/ a gentle reminder that the first 100 days aren't even up until the end of April

Hear Me Out: A Cadillac...MADE OF ECSTASY!

yeah this is the thing, I can't see a realisable value for the majority of recipients

will go round to Grisso's for an occasional lick though

You probably can’t drive it

Either one I mean

It’s a win, but only just. And boy I just can’t wait for more temper tantrums by the sObeR mOdErAtEs that we apparently have to negotiate with in order to get the bare minimum done.

I really do appreciate that the Senate is a very different animal than the House, but there has *got* to be a better way to bully and punish dipshit Democrats who do the GOP’s work for them.

And I suspect there probably is, but only if the party leadership actually wants the same things as their voters.

whips need to work harder on obtaining blackmail material imo

you may think that, Tracer, but I can't possibly confirm

guys....Mindy Moderate is mad.

While Washington undergoes a much-needed spring thaw, Chuck Schumer and Susan Collins’ relationship is frostier than ever.

More than four months after Collins handily dispatched Schumer’s efforts to deny her a fifth term, the moderate Maine Republican and the Senate majority leader have no relationship to speak of. And that awkward dynamic could make problems for Schumer in the coming months if his narrow Democratic majority needs Collins’ vote.

For weeks Collins has questioned Schumer’s handling of coronavirus relief negotiations, and on Tuesday night Schumer fired back to blame Collins’ fiscal conservatism for exacerbating the last financial crisis. The New York Democrat said in a nationally televised interview that his party’s courtship of three GOP votes for its Obama-era stimulus bill shrunk the legislation too much: “We made a big mistake in 2009 and ’10. Susan Collins was part of that mistake.”

Collins was not pleased to be singled out in such a manner. In an interview, she called Schumer’s comments an “extraordinary” backhanding of his most natural ally across the aisle. And she said there’s been zero contact with the Democratic leader since the election: “He has not spoken to me, no.”

I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake.

If only he had Dick Jones' conviction!

Schumer practising his whip skills like a ringmaster?

ew

If they sent every American a solid gold Cadillac and a blowjob machine I’d still be like “ok but where’s my free MDMA”

the moment has passed but this is the truest post issued to these threads in idk how long

The House just passed universal background checks.

For the last 5 years Mitch McConnell refused to bring the bill up for a vote because he knew it might pass.

That’s a big part of why voters fired him. And now, the Senate WILL vote on comprehensive background checks. pic.twitter.com/bllM9WGm35

this is good news, but how are they going to get the senate to vote on it now?

the majority leader controls what gets a vote, schumer will definitely put this bill up.

the question is if the bill actually does have enough bipartisan support to beat the filibuster.

joe manchin will force the republicans to talk/filibuster for 5 more years, until they back down

unfortunately, we haven't had a recent enough mass shooting event for universal background checks to pass. we have had some mass shooting events, rather, but they didn't up the game enough. will probably take a 3-digit slaughter for anything to move

we can't help it! we forgot again!!

for a second i thought that read "3-digit slammer" and lold darkly

Universal background checks have ~70% support with gun owners IIRC.

^^ pretty sure that's true ... granted, some of that could be related to racism, but ...

well yes, this is what I meant

Great new Reuters analysis:

"Biden’s $1.9 trillion bill was crafted without GOP input and passed without a single GOP vote. Nevertheless, GOP-leaning states are due to get a disproportionate share of many of its benefits."https://t.co/Q9BZbdmzrl

quite a change from "it might be good politically if people in blue states die from the coronavirus"

will the voters in those states be grateful, though?
already seeing the right wing wheels turning, blaming inflation and rising commodity prices on the Biden admin
