Liberals express outrage every time a liberal protester (or anyone of color) is injured by pretty much anyone. Whether they are attacking police, blowing things up, or chasing down citizens with the intent to assault them, there is no measuring the amount of angst and anger a liberal will feel when anything happens to any of these people. There was even mass outrage at the fact that the Feds were simply arresting rioters, and it was literally considered to be akin to kidnapping by many riot supporters.
Not to mention how there appears to be no consideration for what sort of person is involved. Doesn't matter if the liberal rioter is a convicted violent criminal, engaging in violence behavior at the scene, out of their minds on drugs, or any number of things. If anything happens to them, the left wants the responsible person's head on a stick. But in this particular case, the women was a decorated veteran of the armed forces. She was not armed, violent, and the actual crime she committed was a form of trespassing.
I would dare any liberal to take a hard look in the mirror and really think about how they can explain this sort of hypocrisy and double standard. Are they really that self absorbed? That angry? That hateful of conservatives? Do they really see this as some sort of war where anyone on their political side is to be defended regardless of behavior and actions? I find it all very puzzling that people can be this blatantly incompetent regarding basic common decency and common sense.

Stepping through a "high window in a door and it could be argued she had no right to do that"
You have to be awful small to think you can step through a "high window" and in attempting that somewhat justifies you being shot at point blank range.
Unarmed.
And the shooter still unidentified.
And the circumstances still not resolved. The "antifa" cameraman paid by CNN and others is heard yelling "I've got a knife", unclear who is yelling "gun, gun", and the same cameraman is cheering and encouraging others to breach. He was arrested and released but status unknown.
Nancy's role in not securing the Capitol is still in question as is why President Trumps offer of 10,000 troops was not accepted. Nancy investigating Nancy doesn't pass the smell test. And it sure stinks.

THREAT TO CAPITOL WAS A “MIRAGE”
Yesterday was the day when some seem to have feared that supporters of Donald Trump would attack the Capitol. To meet this supposed threat, National Guard members armed with M4 rifles were out in force.
But the assault on the Capitol did not occur. According to the Washington Post, the threat “proved to be a mirage.”
Because the former has never admitted defeat, he incites the QAnon movement and the Proud Boys " stand by and be ready ".
The barbed wire fences are necessary because his followers, may not to back down until after The State Of The Union speech.
The FBI will not quit investigating them.
I hope the Capitol building can become open again.
Volatility Is the New Normal
Amy Walter
March 4, 2021
Many of us are wondering if this last year — one of the most tumultuous and consequential in American history — and the last four years of constant political turmoil were 'outliers' or if they represent the new normal.
A challenge for those of us who have covered politics for a long time (I've been doing this in some form or fashion since 1991), is that our sense of normal is often reflective of an era that no longer exists. The politics of the post-World War II era—one marked by stability—has been slowly, then seemingly all at once, completely upended.
Democrats controlled the House for 40 straight years from 1954 until 1994. Democratic control of the Senate lasted uninterrupted for 25 years—from 1955 to 1980. From 1952 until 1988, Republicans won 7 of 10 presidential elections. This is the era in which many of my peers (and those who mentored me) were raised.
Since 1994, however, the House has flipped control three times (2006, 2010, 2018). Control of the Senate has changed political hands five times since 1994. In other words, when I came to Washington in 1991, most Republicans who worked in politics had never been in the House majority, and few Democrats had much experience working in a White House.
Today, most of those who work in politics don't know of a time when control of the House, Senate and/or White House wasn't up for grabs. That includes the people who are in Congress. In the Senate, there are only six members who were elected in the pre-1994 era — GOP Sens. Chuck Grassley, Richard Shelby (who was a Democrat from 1986 until 1994), and Mitch McConnell and Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy, Dianne Feinstein, and Patty Murray. In the House, just 27 members (22 of them Democrats) were elected in the pre-1994 era of the permanent Democratic majority. Only 87 members (or 20 percent of the House) were elected during the relatively tranquil time between 1994-2006 when Republicans kept hold of Congress for five-straight elections. That means that 80 percent of the House has been elected since 2006 when control of the House has changed hands three times.
In other words, most of the House and Senate (and those who work for them) have known nothing other than constant churn and change.
President Biden, of course, was born and raised in the era of congressional stability. It was a time where politicians could play the long game, building relationships and goodwill that would convey year after year, one congressional session after the other. Today, however, politics is a smash and grab; get what you can for the short time you are there. In theory, more volatility should produce more strategic thinking. After all, if you know that your time in the majority is limited, you want to make sure that you don't permanently undercut the power of the minority. This has been the thinking behind keeping the filibuster. But, that also requires a degree of faith in the other party that is not there today. For many Democrats, the events of January 6th only served to deepen their distrust of their GOP colleagues. After all, if a majority of Republicans were willing to throw out the Electoral College results, the Democratic thinking goes, why would we expect them to play be the rules once they get into the majority?
If there was an outlier election over the last 20-25 years, it was the 2008-09 era. Barack Obama's 365 Electoral College votes were the most captured by any winning candidate since 1996. That year was also the only time this century when a newly elected president had any Congressional coattails. In 2008, Democrats picked up 21 House seats. And, as the always astute Michael Podhorzer of the AFL-CIO pointed out recently, in every other presidential election won by a non-incumbent candidate - 2000, 2016, and 2020 - the winning candidate's party lost seats in the House. In fact, 2008 was the first, and only time, since 1980 that the winning non-incumbent presidential candidate's party didn't lose seats in the House.
In every election since 2012 we've had to unlearn many of the lessons from that era. Like how much faith we put into the idea that a growing Latino population would automatically translate into Democratic gains. Or, how the margins Democratic candidates would get in the future from white, blue-collar voters couldn't get any smaller than those received by an African-American man with the name Barack Obama.
As we forge ahead into President Biden's first term, it's safe to say that it won't be as dramatic or chaotic as the Trump era. But, that doesn't mean it will be stable. In fact, political volatility has been a feature, not a bug, of 21st-century politics.

It costs $2 million a day to keep the National Guard there for fake news mirage threats from imaginary people who are posing no real danger to anyone... not to mention the barb wire around the Capital that is an eyesore and completely unnecessary.
Given one would have to be a complete and utter moron to believe that any of this is "actually" needed... what explanation do you believe is justified for keeping them there? What is the motivation for them to keep wasting National Guard time, effort and tax-payer money for a fake news threat?
Our border is now totally out of control thanks to the disastrous leadership of Joe Biden,” Trump declared. “Our great Border Patrol and ICE agents have been disrespected, demeaned, and mocked by the Biden Administration. A mass incursion into the country by people who should not be here is happening on an hourly basis, getting worse by the minute. Many have criminal records, and many others have and are spreading [COVID-19].”

Mail in voting did not swing the election to Biden
Wall Street Journal:
“The presidential-election results left the impression that mail-in voting increased turnout and propelled President Biden to victory. But the reality is that voting by mail didn’t do either, Stanford researchers say in a new paper based on the latest data. That finding is notable because mail-in voting has become a controversial topic as many state legislatures debate restricting its use in future elections.”

WALL STREET JOURNAL:
“White House chief of staff Ron Klain is trying to avoid the pitfalls of the last Democratic administration with his approach to President Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package: Don’t spend months pursuing Republican votes and don’t wait to start selling it to the public.
“Mr. Klain, a longtime adviser to Mr. Biden, watched the Obama administration struggle to gain public approval for its economic stimulus package and push for GOP votes for the Affordable Care Act… Now, he is advancing a White House strategy to engage Republicans while preparing to pass the president’s policies without their support.
“He has also been a key messenger, appearing on cable shows and tweeting so much that some Republican aides on Capitol Hill said his feed has become a must-read.”
Pressure Builds on Biden to Back Ending Filibuster
WASHINGTON POST:
“Pressure is building on President Biden, a longtime backer of traditional Washington rules, to do away with the filibuster and other procedures, as Democrats press him to seize what could be a fleeting moment of power to enact a progressive agenda.
“Democrats increasingly worry that popular pieces of Biden’s agenda will hit a wall in the Senate, including his plans for climate change, immigration, gun control, voting rights and LGBT protections. Failing to enact them, they fear, could be a political disaster for Democrats as well as a substantive one.”
SO GO EARLY AND GO BIG, JOE!
“The presidential-election results left the impression that mail-in voting increased turnout and propelled President Biden to victory. But the reality is that voting by mail didn’t do either
Well then... no need to increase any access to mail in voting, since the entire concept was to provide more opportunity and better turnout. If it failed to accomplish that goal, then no need to continue to try to legislate for more of it.
By the way...
If everyone was so convinced that there was no election shenanigans, then why are all these idiots on the left wasting their valuable time making such an over the top effort to beat that dead horse?

We have to get rid of minority control over the United States Senate and in my opinion, the electoral college should be repealed with an amendment to the Constitution.
It’s good that a Wyoming vote counts 68 times more than a California vote. It’s good that garnering 59 out of 100 votes does not suffice to enact laws. It’s good that any one legislator is able to disrupt the proceedings. These rationalizations have proved contagious. If minority rule is good sometimes, why not more of the time?
It’s good that a Wyoming vote counts 68 times more than a California vote.
Given what I know about people from Wyoming and people from California, that seems to be a little light for those from Wyoming. I'd say it should be something like 75 times or so.

Biden turns down the volume
The first was pinpointed by Ezra Klein: Biden has muted his public presence to minimize the social and cultural conflict his predecessor relished. Refraining from needlessly activating the sort of negative polarization — which presidents are uniquely positioned to trigger — that poisons our substantive debates also creates space to go bigger on policy.
Former president Donald Trump, of course, seized on every public argument we had over the coronavirus — over whether to wear masks, over whether it was a crisis at all — to stoke civil conflict.
Trump’s attacks on public health restrictions in Democratic states surely helped turn millions against such restrictions, encouraging GOP governors to reopen states too early, leading to last spring’s catastrophic spike in cases.
And so, the Biden team surely sees that the lesson of the “Neanderthal” controversy is that even a stray presidential remark can trigger a cynically hyped controversy on the right, potentially reactivating polarization around precautions and dissuading people from taking them.
This points to the second reason for the administration’s caution, one rooted in a view of the potential civic possibilities endemic in the taming of the pandemic.
Depoliticizing mask-wearing
Even before Biden took office, his team was playing around with the idea that the imperative of encouraging precautions could, if communicated skillfully, also reinvigorate a sense of common purpose and mutual obligation.
As David Kessler, the physician who is leading the vaccine rollout, told me at the time, if Biden officials could succeed in “depoliticizing masks,” that might help “bring the country together” around a sense of reciprocal “duty.”
This has given rise to a paradox. Biden would like his encouragement of precautions to revive that sense of duty. But when GOP governors move sharply in the other direction — lifting restrictions and potentially creating more risk with undisguised own-the-libs relish — criticizing those actions too bluntly can undermine that broader civic project.
What makes this more challenging is the way all this has become fraught with culture-war hostilities.
No end to the culture-warmongering
When the rage against public health restrictions was in full swing, the argument wasn’t merely that they represented a threat to people’s liberties. It was also freighted with phony right-wing populist anti-elitism.
The suggestion, sometimes made explicit, was that governors and public health officials were not to be seen as making profoundly difficult and consequential choices, ones balancing the dictates of science against other human goods amid fast-moving and unpredictable conditions.
Instead, these elites seized the chance to crush the economic and social aspirations of virtuous working-class heartlanders. Meanwhile, the cosmopolitan “laptop class,” those enemies of conservative community cosseted away in precious home offices, remained superciliously unconcerned with regular folks chafing to return to real-world jobs, social gatherings and churches.
As John Ganz has noted, this sort of mythologizing depends heavily on a very crude dichotomy that is a constant in our politics. It pits an alienated but virtuous and mystically authentic nation of workers and small business owners against a corrupt and hypocritical “professional managerial class.”
This fable is alive again in the Neanderthal flap. Notably, Republicans who feigned outrage trotted out these sorts of tropes, calling on Biden to “travel to middle America” and even likening his criticism to calling residents of those states “deplorables.”
The depth and reach of such cultural sensitivities is likely highly exaggerated, an artifact of the bad faith of the people cynically trying to (dare we say it?) trigger them.
But nonetheless, the Biden team appears to believe there’s no reason to risk firing them up at all, if it might dissuade some people from taking precautions against the virus, again making the spread worse before it gets better.
Scott calls calling residents of California “deplorables.”

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said that his preference is to leave the Senate and not run for a third term in 2022.
Johnson is openly considering a third term despite Democratic challengers already lining up to challenge him and his pronouncement while running for a second term in 2016 that it would be his last.
“That pledge is on my mind, it was my preference then, I would say it’s probably my preference now,” Johnson said during a Friday media call. “I’m happy to go home.”
This might help the Democrats to get a larger majority.

The United States is administering an average of 2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines per day, according to an analysis from The New York Times.
The average is up from one month ago, when the daily average was about 1.3 million doses, according to the Times.
The increased pace means that the Biden administration is on track to reach its goal of administering 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses within the first 100 days of President Biden ’s time in office a month ahead of schedule, Axios notes.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 54 million people have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while 27 million have received two doses.
A total of 82,572,848 doses have been administered thus far, according to the CDC’s data. Forty-two million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, and 40 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine have been administered.
The increased pace comes as the Biden administration made concerted efforts to boost vaccinations amid initial logistical hurdles.
Biden said Tuesday that the U.S. will have enough vaccine supply to vaccinate all American adults by the end of May, which was also a shortened time frame from his initial estimation of July.
The president also announced a partnership under which Merck would help manufacture Johnson & Johnson’s one-dose coronavirus vaccine, which the Food and Drug Administration authorized Saturday.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has set up several mass vaccination sites in California, Texas and New York, with more slated to be opened soon.
The pace comes as the U.S. logs 28,759,980 coronavirus infections since the pandemic began a year ago, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. More than 518,000 have died.
The increased pace means that the Biden administration is on track to reach its goal of administering 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses within the first 100 days of President Biden ’s time in office a month ahead of schedule, Axios notes.

US could reach herd immunity by summer through vaccinations alone, CNN analysis finds
By Deidre McPhillips, CNN
Updated 3 hours ago Mar 5, 2021
(CNN) - The pace of Covid-19 vaccine administration in the US continues to improve, each day bringing the country closer to herd immunity -- the point at which enough people are protected against a disease that it cannot spread.
This week, President Joe Biden said that the US will have enough vaccine for every adult by the end of May, and a CNN analysis of federal data shows that herd immunity is likely not far behind.
At the current pace of about 2 million shots per day -- the latest seven-day average of doses administered reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -- the US could reach herd immunity by summer through vaccinations alone. It will likely be even sooner, if factoring in individuals who may have some natural immunity due to prior infection.
Herd immunity thresholds for Covid-19 are only estimates at this point. But experts generally agree that somewhere between 70% and 85% of the population must be protected to suppress the spread, a range that Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases has recently cited.
More than 8% of the population -- nearly 28 million people -- is already fully vaccinated, according to the latest data from the CDC.
If vaccination continues at its current rate and the two-dose vaccines from Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna were the only options available, 70% of the US population could be fully vaccinated by mid-September.
But the US Food and Drug Administration recently authorized the Johnson & Johnson's one-dose vaccine for emergency use, and the company has promised to deliver 100 million doses to the US in the first half of the year.
At the current pace of about 2 million doses per day, including 100 million doses of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, 70% of the US population could be fully vaccinated around the end of July and 85% by mid-September, according to a CNN analysis.
The CDC estimates that more than a quarter of the population may have been infected by Covid-19, bumping the share of the population already protected up to nearly a third. Assuming there's no overlap between people with natural immunity and those protected through vaccination, herd immunity could be reached as early as June.
Experts note that some new variants threaten progress, potentially lessening protection offered by vaccines and skirting some degree of natural immunity, and vaccine hesitancy may also create some limitations.
President Biden is a successful President!
It only took Biden 5 weeks to create a mess at the border as he continues to hide from the media and the American people.
A failed presidency.

Trump should start doing weekly press conferences, since we have a president who can't do one.
Senate Democrats have come to an agreement on unemployment benefits after initially hitting a snag early in the marathon voting session on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation. Democrat Joe Manchin had threatened to unravel an agreement on how to handle jobless benefits in the package, but after eight hours of discussions has agreed to a new proposal.
Democrats on Friday unveiled what they thought was an agreement on unemployment insurance, sponsored by Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., that would cut the weekly jobless benefit from the $400 allotment in the House bill to $300, while allowing the benefit to continue through September rather than through August. The agreement also included the first $10,200 paid out through the unemployment program being untaxed.
But Manchin, who has been urging his colleagues and the White House to further target the bill, wasn't sold on the Carper proposal.
The two sides finally agreed to extend the enhanced UI program through Sept. 6 at $300 per week. The House-passed bill was through Aug. 29.
No accomplishment at all
"Senate Democrats reached an agreement"
Democrats agreed with themselves.
Alky sees that as a "win".

I love how Alky is attempting and failing spectacularly with this kind of junk logic.
"
"The two sides finally agreed"
Those agreeing are all Democrats.
A huge flaw in logic and debating.
Senate Democrats struck a deal Friday evening to extend unemployment insurance in President Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package after deliberating and halting other action for roughly nine hours, per a Senate aide.
Why it matters: The Senate can now resume voting on other amendments to the broader rescue bill.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) backed his party’s proposal for emergency jobless benefits, after hesitating to support an earlier version.Helping unemployed Americans has been an issue that's divided progressives, hoping to help constituents who's lost jobs during the pandemic, and Manchin and his fellow moderates who have wanted to cut costs from the sweeping legislation.
The big picture: Democrats will now offer an amendment extending the enhanced unemployment insurance of $300 per week through Sept. 6. The bill passed by the House pushed the program through Aug. 29.
The deal also provides tax relief to those who receive unemployment insurance from the program by making the first $10,200 received non-taxable for households with incomes under $150,000.
That's a great deal for middle income people
Even though over 55% of Republicans favored the bill, but because the former is responsible for their minds because he scared them

A top Chinese political adviser said that boys would soon become "delicate, timid and effeminate" unless action was taken.
Well since China is doing this Joe will soon come out in favor of it.
And I actually like this one !!!
It's called compromise and it's what politics are all about !!!
Roger, posting it over and over again just show how you don't see your flaws in debating.

if the governor wants the schools to open, and the mayor wants the schools to open, and the parents want the schools to open, but the schools won’t open... why aren’t we calling this a strike?
Looks like the only group not compromising are the teachers and some politicians.
Kick them out if they don't open schools...

Alcoholic, yes. Debater no.
And the only reason he thinks he has a high iq is because he's terrible at math.
But he can copy long articles repeatedly.
He thinks word count wins debates.
It's called a failed life and losing the argument.

If you ever want to laugh your ass off - look up Joe Biden’s daily schedule. He works like 5 minutes a day.
He's even incapable of taking his phone calls
He looks like someone without a dial tone.
Roger, you realize the changes the Democrats agreed with each other on put the cost of this bill at $2 Trillion plus?
Don't you?
Scott's Senators don't agree with you. Because you want minority rule.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Tina Smith said Thursday she supports abolishing the Senate filibuster amid growing debate over whether Democrats should throw out the 60-vote threshold now that they control the chamber.
"I believe that the filibuster should be abolished in all cases, not just for any particular piece of legislation," Smith said. "We have already abolished the filibuster for judicial nominations and the Supreme Court, and to me this is a very important step that we need to take in order to make sure that the Senate can function and can do the work that we need to do."
The Minnesota Democrat, who was elected to a full term in the 2020 election after being appointed to replace former Sen. Al Franken, said the issue was "sort of a theoretical" one when Republicans were in the majority. But with Democrats now holding a razor-thin edge by virtue of Vice President Kamala Harris' ability to cast a tiebreaking vote, the issue has become more timely, Smith said.
But even with Smith's support, she conceded that Democrats still lack enough support to eliminate the filibuster.
"To be honest, it's not clear to me that there is a majority in the Senate right now that is in favor of getting rid of the filibuster," Smith said.
The filibuster has become a major political flash point in the early days of President Joe Biden's administration, given the expansive policy changes Democrats hope to make now that they have control of the White House and Congress.
Because the filibuster allows the GOP minority to try to block most legislation it opposes, Democrats are using the budget reconciliation process to try to pass a $1.9 trillion COVID relief package, meaning the legislation only needs the votes of the 50 Democratic senators and Harris.
On Wednesday night, the Democrat-controlled House passed the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act and soon after, the voting and ethics overhaul Democrats named the For the People Act. But even after passing the House, both need at least some GOP support in the Senate to overcome the 60-vote threshold. That's unlikely to happen given the steep GOP resistance to the measures.
Minnesota's GOP House delegation opposed both bills, and former President Donald Trump criticized the House version of the For the People Act as "a disaster" and a "monster," during his Sunday CPAC speech as he called for the further tightening of voting restrictions.
What's at stake in the filibuster discussions also hasn't been lost on Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. She said Thursday night that "something has to change or we're going to be just in this quagmire of not being able to advance legislation," and emphasized that she has already supported filibuster reform.
The people have the right to change the laws under the Constitution, but you don't understand how it works.
The Senate is purposefully set up differently than thr house. The founders did not intend for simple partisan majorities to push through everything they want. This is another of the checks and balances. It promotes compromise. Why is that so hard to understand?
Most job growth came from service industries as the pandemic lockdowns ease in most states. Leisure and hospitality created 355,000 new jobs in the month as restaurants and bars opened further. Retailers added another 41,100. The hiring pace should escalate in March as the great national Democratic reopening continues.
The filibuster was originally used to defeat civil rights legislation. It is not in the Constitution, it is a regulatory decision by the members of the Senate. The founding fathers also feared that minorities could defeat the will of the people.
Except that it is Republican states doing the reopening. Dems are doing the opposite, demanding double masking.
The great Republican reopening, being done by those ignorant Neanderthals.
We are returning to the great recovery of 2009. We have made significant progress, of course: After hitting the highest level of unemployment the country has seen since the Great Depression in April, the unemployment rate has steadily fallen. And has been accelerating since inauguration day.
As of this month, the unemployment rate is only 2.7 percentage points higher than it was pre-pandemic.
Of course, before covid we had the lowest unemployment in history. You may not realize that the last presidential term began in 2017. Not last March.
And your great 2009 recovery consisted 0f temp, part time and contract jobs. That's not something to brag about.
As other officers on late-night shifts graduated to daytime patrols or senior jobs with better hours and less stress, Chauvin chose to stay on the grueling night beat, former colleagues say. During that time, he displayed behaviors both on and off duty that some saw as red flags.
In 2007, Chauvin was accused of pulling a woman out of her car after she was stopped for driving 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, according to heavily redacted personnel files released by the police department last summer. Supervisors reprimanded Chauvin for using unnecessary tactics and faulted him for not turning on his squad car video during the stop. The department issued a letter of reprimand but did not disclose further discipline.
The Obama recovery created twice as many jobs in the last year and a half, than the former created in the three years, before he failed to save thousands of lives in the covid-19 pandemic

Balls pulls another fake number out his white ass!!!!!
Q: What was the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the United States?
A: 2.5% (May, June of 1953).
The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides us with data that goes back until January 1st, 1948. So when we say "lowest unemployment rate in the history of the United States", we mean "lowest unemployment rate since 1948".
Another proprietary source you fucking fraud????????

Black and Hispanic unemployment under Trump were the lowest in history.
And Roger keeps bragging about jobs obama created. They were shitty jobs! Temp, contract, part time jobs. He won't tell you that.
And your great 2009 recovery consisted 0f temp, part time and contract jobs. That's not something to brag about.
0linsky's Great Recession, like FDR's Great Depression was "great" because it lasted so fucking LONG. much longer than it had to.
deficit spending for make work jobs. none even "shovel ready."
You knew 0linsky's recovery was a fraud when he had to create a new metric - "saved or created" jobs.
it was all a sham, a con, a grift. and all the alky does when touting the failure is expose his ignorance of all things economic.
as if we didn't already know.
thanks for the reminder alky. never necessary but always entertaining.

Senate was right to defeat $15 fed min wage. That would work fine in some parts of the country. But it would crush the economies in places like Al and WV. $10/HR is a much better min for them.
AOC wants a $24/hr min wage.
I said unemployment lowest in history. I didn't articulate which unemployment dumbass.

It is not a law or a regulatory decision. It is a senate rule. It has been used to defeat excess of a radical house.
The founding fathers also feared that minorities could defeat the will of the people.
I challenge you to find the word "filibuster" or any mention of the senate rule it describes.
The whole point of the senate rule is to gain consensus on legislation. Without it there would be an excess of unpopular legislation that will be overturned when the senate changes.
The filibuster forces the majority to negotiate legislation. It is an annoyance when you are in the majority but a vital tool when you are in the minority.
Roger , you know you are spectacularly wrong, thing is, you don't care.
Which shows.
Alky goes Alky Stupid early.

wrong on every count, alky.
as CS said, the filibuster is a senate rule. period. full stop. not a "regulatory decision" whatever the fuck THAT means.
it wasn't used to "defeat" civil rights legislation as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, thanks to REPUBLICANS. Your dear old Grand Kleagle Byrd did lead a filibuster AGAINST the passage of the act, but fortunately did not succeed.
and alky, the founders feared the "tyranny of the majority" most of all. the system in place today is in large part thanks to their fear of the voices of smaller states with smaller populations being drowned out. That's why we have the senate with 2 senators per state. it's also why the electoral college exists. that same electoral college that has worked just fucking fine whenever a democrat wins, but always needs to be scuttled when a republican wins.
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
- Ronald Reagan
The Filibuster was created in 1837.
Damn Alky the self-appointed blog historian knows so very little.
Just how dangerous is QAnon? Here’s the answer: the District of Columbia National Guard announced Friday that all troops who took part in the mission to protect our democracy from internet conspiracy theorists will now receive medals in recognition of their heroic sacrifice.
The primary medal is called the Presidential Inauguration Support Ribbon. That’s for people who were there for President Biden’s inauguration. But that medal will be supplemented, in cases in which our heroes have earned it, by the Emergency Service Ribbon. So if you’re a D.C. Guardsman who’s been on duty in the city since late January, protecting America from Trump voters, you can add another medal to your chest. More may be coming. According to Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Carver, “Other federal decorations are also being considered.”
That seems like a big deal. For context, more than 60,000 American soldiers and Marines fought on Guadalcanal in the South Pacific during the Second World War. About 15,000 of them died or were wounded there. Not one of those men got an official Guadalcanal medal for the experience, because the Pentagon didn’t offer them. Guadalcanal may have been horrible and bloody, but it just didn’t justify its own ribbon. Guadalcanal wasn’t North Capitol Street. The Imperial Japanese weren’t as fanatical as Trump voters and not half as dangerous.

a medal and ribbon for providing cover for a cowering dementia patient.
bravery personified.
No, Dr. Seuss isn’t being “canceled.” Still, we received plenty of letters written as if he were, which suggests that the right-wing freakout over “cancel culture” is making an impression. As for what’s actually being done about the late author’s books, the editorial board says Seuss’ estate is actually being prudent by deciding to no longer publish six of his works with racist imagery and text; where things are getting out of hand, writes Karin Klein, is with online retailers not allowing existing copies of those six books to be sold on their sites.

The history of the filibuster as 'Jim Crow relic'
CONGRESS HISTORY RACE AND
By Louis JacobsonAugust 4, 2020
• The filibuster’s emergence had nothing to do with racial legislation, and it has been used against a wide variety of bills. However, historians agree that the filibuster was closely intertwined with anti-civil-rights efforts in the Senate for more than a century, thanks to repeated efforts by southern senators to filibuster civil rights bills.
Former President Barack Obama made some news when he delivered a eulogy for John Lewis, the civil rights activist and congressman from Georgia who died on July 17 after battling cancer. In his eulogy, Obama said he was open to ending the filibuster, the longstanding rule
How the filibuster has been used against civil rights legislation
"Exploitation of the filibuster repeatedly undermined adoption of measures supported by majorities to protect and advance the rights of African Americans for much of Senate history," Binder said.
The first period when this happened was in the pre-Civil War era, when filibusters were used against the admission of states depending on their slavery status, including California in 1850 and Kansas beginning in 1857, said Gregory Koger, a political scientist and congressional specialist at the University of Miami.
Then, during the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction eras, senators launched filibusters against civil rights bills, deployment of federal troops in southern states, and repayment of income taxes from the Civil War, Koger said.
"The last gasp of Republican efforts to ensure the political rights of southern blacks was the 1890-91 elections bill, which died in a Senate filibuster," Koger said. "The Republicans were chastened after this last effort. They were surprised by the vehemence of Southern opposition to the bill, and found that northern interest in civil rights was low."
Civil rights largely faded from the congressional agenda between the 1890s and the 1930s, but even then, the filibuster was used to block anti-lynching bills in 1922 and 1935. (Efforts to belatedly enact an anti-lynching law have been under way during the current Congress, but no law has been sent to the president yet.)
"It wasn’t until the 1950s that weak civil rights legislation was passed, and it wasn’t until 1964 and 1965 that legislation with real teeth was enacted," Smith said.
Generally speaking, pro-civil rights senators did not resort to filibustering, Koger said. One exception came in 1937, when pro-civil rights senators threatened to filibuster the resolution to adjourn for the year until Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley promised to bring an anti-lynching bill up for a vote. Barkley relented, but the bill that came to the floor died due a filibuster.
Pro-civil-rights senators could have used filibusters to hold hostage bills valued by southerners, Koger said. But they didn't, he said, in part because northern senators had a much smaller proportion of African American constituents at the time, making the issue seem less immediately salient.
By contrast, "once southern states had imposed a vast array of voting and election advantages for white citizens, there were few politicians in the South whose careers depended on representing southern Blacks, including restoring their political equality," Koger said. With whites strongly in favor of the Jim Crow status quo, southern senators went all in on blocking civil rights legislation, including the use of the filibuster, he said.
Even the Civil Rights Act of 1965, the landmark bill that finally broke the logjam, was almost blocked by the filibuster. The bill’s proponents were able to win passage only after securing 71 votes, including 27 Republicans, to end a filibuster.
https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/aug/04/history-filibuster-jim-crow-relic/
The filibuster was used for many different purposes. Sure the democrats used it to oppose civil rights legislation. But it also is used to force consensus building, improve bills and avoid the tyranny of the majority over the minority.
Somebody here said politics was about compromise.
That is what the filibuster forces.
We are no longer a nation of bills but rather EO's. And if we get rid of the filibuster even bills would flip flop with whoever is in charge. That will destroy protections for the minority.
And the dems will be in the minority again sometime. Or they will have succeeded to permanently make us into a Banana Republic.
And then all bets are off and we may face a real insurrection.
alky, citing PolitiFact doesn't bolster your argument. It actually HURTS IT, sport.

THWAP!!!
I didn't articulate which unemployment dumbass.
You didn't articulate because you fucked up and lied!!!!!!.......BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! You were praising trump for achieving the lowest unemployment in history......WHICH INCLUDES EVERYONE, not your self righteous correction later!!!!!!!!

I said unemployment. You assumed overall unemployment. Shit for brains.
Another whoops for trump and you loser you slurpers
By Katie Benner, Alan Feuer and Adam Goldman
March 5, 2021
WASHINGTON — A member of the far-right nationalist Proud Boys was in communication with a person associated with the White House in the days just before the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
Location, cellular and call record data revealed a call tying a Proud Boys member to the Trump White House, the official said. The F.B.I. has not determined what they discussed, and the official would not reveal the names of either party.
The connection revealed by the communications data comes as the F.B.I. intensifies its investigation of contacts among far-right extremists, Trump White House associates and conservative members of Congress in the days before the attack.
The same data has revealed no evidence of communications between the rioters and members of Congress during the deadly attack, the official said. That undercuts Democratic allegations that some Republican lawmakers were active participants that day.
You assumed overall unemployment.
Nothing to assume you dumb fucking white loser.....
YOUR WORDs Of course, before covid we had the lowest unemployment in history.
Not too much to interpret there !!!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Keep digging dumb fuck....maybe you can publish your double secret source of fake statistics today!!!!!!!!
However, historians agree that the filibuster was closely intertwined with anti-civil-rights efforts in the Senate for more than a century, thanks to repeated efforts by southern [Democrat] senators to filibuster civil rights bills.
Secrwy source?
Mercer, Aon Hewitt, Willis Towers Watson, SIRS, Culpeper
Now its not secret dumb fuck
Mercer, Aon Hewitt, Willis Towers Watson, SIRS, Culpepper
Your words mean shit asshole......Either provide the data or shut the fuck up and go suck trumps dick!!!!!
Its proprietary data you ignorant prick.
Dopey is so damn stupid he probably doesn't know what I mean when I say that.
Bitch slapping him has gotten so old and boring.
And I'll post it again. Hourly wages rose 5.5% in 2019 alone. The highest of any labor group. This is a large part of why Trump attracted the cross over blur collar vote.
If dopey is too damn ignorant to understand any of this, then he can kiss my ass.
s rose 5.5% in 2019 alone.
Which is irrelevant to 2021!!!!!!!
proprietary data you ignorant prick.
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Sad you are sooooo fucking stupid to think I believe that!!!!!!! Even better your word that the numbers are fact is laughable.!!!!!!!!
