President Biden and congressional leaders are forging ahead with plans to have the House vote on his two massive spending plans, even while backing off their Tuesday deadline amid persistent concerns from key lawmakers.
Why it matters: For all their bluster, Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have failed twice to hold promised votes on the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill, which would pave the way for a $1.75 trillion social safety net expansion package. Missing a third vote is a major risk for them both.
The delays have undermined Pelosi, who famously never holds — or schedules — a vote she can't win.
Driving the news: House leaders gave themselves more time on Sunday afternoon by punting procedural moves they'd planned for Monday by the House Rules Committee.
That would have set up floor votes on the actual bills on Tuesday.“We have made extensive progress on Rx drugs and other key initiatives, which were not included in the text posted to Rules on Thursday,” a Democratic leadership aide told reporters.“At this point, we will need additional time to craft language and get final agreement with all parties involved,” the aide said. “We still intend to vote as early as possible this week.”
Between the lines: Democrats in Washington wanted to hand President Biden a political win before he departs from the COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland, on Tuesday, but that's no longer possible.
Before leaving the G20 summit in Rome for the COP26, Biden still struck an optimistic tone."God willing, going to be voted on sometime this coming week," he said.Over the weekend, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) stayed in contact with the speaker's office, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, to explain his concerns.Progressives have said they won't vote for the bipartisan bill unless the package to expand the nation's social safety net is voted upon simultaneously.
The big picture: Manchin still has concerns about the proposed revenue streams, and whether they'll cover the full cost of the $1.75 trillion package.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) is working on a compromise about how to include savings from Medicare.They'd be gained by allowing the government to negotiate prescription drugs directly with the pharmaceutical industry.
Go deeper: The nine House moderates who've been demanding an immediate vote on the infrastructure bill have been relatively quiet over the weekend.
They've demanded 72 hours to read any bill passed by the Senate before agreeing to vote on it, potentially throwing a monkey wrench in Pelosi's schedule.They've also insisted the Senate vote on the package first.
Be smart: Before the Senate can vote on a reconciliation package, it needs an official score of the bill's cost and tax provisions from the Congressional Budget Office.
Manchin and Sinema are concerned Biden's proposed revenue increases — including a new tax on individuals making more than $10 million — won't cover the full $1.75 trillion price tag.An independent assessment from the Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates the total revenues at $1.5 trillion over 1o years.
The latest Gallup poll finds President Biden’s 42% approval rating is the lowest for any president in October of their first year going back to Dwight Eisenhower in 1953 — except Donald Trump, who was at 37%.

The average daily number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. has continued to decline in the wake of the summer resurgence fueled by the Delta variant.
In the past week, the U.S. had an average of around 72,000 new cases of the virus each day, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. This represents a 58 percent drop in average daily cases from the peak of the COVID resurgence of around 172,500, which the U.S. reported on September 13 in 2020 when Trump was the President.
The decline can largely be attributed to the increased rate of vaccination in the U.S. as a result of the growing number of vaccine mandates and the FDA's approval of the Pfizer dose. According to the CDC, 66 percent of Americans have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Around 58 percent are considered to be fully vaccinated, and 8 percent have received a booster shot.
The mandates are saving our lives! Not making more people to die from the vaccine that was very quickly developed in Warp speed.

President Obama said that citizens United was the worst Supreme Court decision in a history. He was correct.
Exposed: The insidious cancer at the core of democracy that could take down Biden
Tom Hartmann HartmannReport
October 31, 2021
This story was first published at The Hartmann Report.
If President Biden's Build Back Better plan goes down in flames, you can blame the US Supreme Court. Their Citizens United decision, in fact, is destroying both American politics and the planet.
Case in point: Oil industry executives testified before Congress this week, suffering a barrage of questions, including particularly intense ones from Reps. Ro Khanna, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Katie Porter.
The CEOs exhibited the same sort of arrogant insolence Mark Zuckerberg displayed in July of last year when he was hauled before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law. It was, basically, a smug, "Screw you, Congressperson."
Why were the representatives of Big Oil and Big Tech unafraid of the power of Congress?
Because, at the end of the day, they own that power. The Supreme Court gave it to them with their poisonous Citizens United
It turns out that Big Oil has spent, just over the past decade, over $450 million lobbying the federal government. We used to call this political corruption or even bribery until the Court ruled in Citizens United that money in politics isn't money: it's "free speech."
And, the Court added, corporations aren't corporations: they're persons, complete with a First Amendment right to free speech.
Representative Khanna repeatedly asked the CEOs of Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell Oil, and BP America if they'd stop funding advertising and PR efforts that are filled with outright lies about climate change. Pretty much every time he asked, he was met with a "screw you" silence.
These CEOs effectively own multiple members of Congress, as the world could see when it was the turn of the meek and obeisant Republican members to ask questions that mostly amounted to, "May I fluff the pillow you're sitting on, sir?"
And it's not just Big Oil. Every industry in America laughs at Congress.
Our elected representatives are there, in the minds of corporate America, to hand out subsidies and tax breaks, but if they take the smallest step toward protecting the American people from giant corporations or predatory billionaires they're simply brushed aside like troublesome lint.
The majority of Americans don't want Medicare privatized: but we're more than 40% of the way there through Bush's "Medicare Advantage" scam.
The majority of Americans don't want our Post Office gutted: Congress sucked tens of billions out of its budget in 2006 after the PO said they were going to electrify their fleet of cars (the largest in America) and DeJoy is using that as an excuse to cut service and raise prices.
The majority of Americans would like debt-free college like every other developed country in the world: the $1.5 trillion student loan industry just makes a few phone calls and the effort dies.
The majority of Americans want a national healthcare system that actually works at little cost to citizens: the health insurance industry hands Joe Lieberman over a million dollars and he kills the public option so we're left with an entirely corporatized Obamacare with $5000 annual deductibles.
The majority of Americans want something done about high drug prices: Big Pharma calls up Kurt Schrader, Scott Peters, Kathleen Rice, Kyrsten Sinema and a few other wholly owned members of Congress and that's the end of that.
The majority of Americans want their banks to stop hitting them with absurd fees for the smallest errors and would like some occasional customer service: Big Banking pulls a few strings and Senators are dancing like marionettes.
The majority of Americans want something done about climate change before our planet becomes uninhabitable: Big Coal and Gas light a fire under Joe Manchin and the entire GOP and that's the end of that.
The majority of Americans would like open and transparent elections and for their democracy to work like in other countries, without barriers to voting or bought-off politicians: neofascist rightwing billionaires will have the final say on that and it's not looking good.
The majority of Americans would like net neutrality and for corporations to stop spying on them: Big Tech just leans on the members of Congress they own and that effort comes to an abrupt halt.
The majority of Americans would like well-funded public schools that teach things like civics and critical thinking skills: the multi-billion-dollar Charter School industry gets last word.
The majority of Americans would like to be free of gun violence in our homes and streets: the gun industry gets final say here.
The majority of Americans would like good union jobs: the nation's giant employers have paid off politicians to gut union protections.
The majority of Americans would like a food supply free of toxic chemicals that harm children and cause cancer: giant fast- and processed-food companies laugh at us while their buddies in the chemical industry hold their beer.
Sadly, enough Americans believed that professional grifter to get him into the White House (with a little help from Russian oligarchs), but the principle remains: even Republican voters are disgusted by this crisis of corruption the Supreme Court has foisted upon us.
More than a decade ago I did a fundraiser for the Congressional Progressive Caucus with its then-chair, Rep. Raúl Grijalva. It was a small affair with a half-dozen politicians and around 100 activists.
Because of citizen outrage with how corrupt and bought-off our politics have become since the Supreme Court rewrote the rules of politics, today almost 100 members of Congress have been elected on "no corporate PAC money" pledges and become members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Today we're watching an epic battle to rebuild America being fought valiantly by progressives like Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Mark Pocan, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. They may lose this one battle, but the path they're on is steadily upward.
This is the only way we can now claw back our democratic republic from the corrupt billionaires and corporations.
We have to get money out of politics and the only way to do that is to get more people in office who are not addicted to or corrupted by money.
There's an election coming up in a year, and primaries will be conducted in the months ahead. We must do everything we can to identify, elect and support politicians who openly and sincerely pledge never to sell their souls to the devil of Big Money.

The Black Hills have camps across the area from Sheridan Lake Drive that goes from Rapid City to Sheridan lake. and highway 44 that goes for Rapid City to highway 385 that goes north and south through the who Black Hills.

The Blue Ridge Mountains are a physiographic province of the larger Appalachian Mountains range. The mountain range is located in the eastern United States, and extends 550 miles southwest from southern Pennsylvania through Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia.

Alky I’ve camped all over, The Black Hills, Continental divide in Jackson, the Sawtooths, rafting the Snake River from Hell’s Canyon to its confluence with the Columbia
Hell, I was in Jackson 2 years ago, when’s the last time you’ve been out of your county?
Brain Dead Joe "Biden said the idea that Russia, Saudi Arabia and other producers are holding back to boost prices "is not right." With gas prices averaging $3.40 a gallon in the US, according to AAA, Biden said families are feeling it.
"It has profound impact on working class families just to get back and forth to work," Biden said. He talked about the issue with other major oil-consuming countries at the G-20, but told reporters he was reluctant to reveal any of their plans to spur producers to pump more"
Biden winds up G-20 summit with dings at Russia, China Associated Press ZEKE MILLER AND JOSH BOAK October 31, 2021, 5:23 PM ROME (AP) — President Joe Biden wrapped up his time at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday trying to convince Americans and the wider world that he’s got things under control — and taking Russia, China and Saudi Arabia to task for not doing enough to deal with the existential threat of climate change.
Biden's overall take on his efforts: On climate change, he’s got $900 billion planned for renewable energy, and Congress will vote this coming week. On supply chains, he has plans to make the ports run better and tamp down inflation. For workers, he’s building an economy with pay raises. On diplomacy, world leaders trust him.
But he also acknowledged what he can’t yet achieve: bringing Russia, China and Saudi Arabia to the table with the broader international community to limit carbon emissions and move to renewable energy.
In a news conference Sunday, the U.S. president spelled out his belief that all politics is personal and that what progress was achieved at the Rome summit came from direct interactions with other leaders.
“They know me. I know them,” Biden said of his fellow G-20 leaders. “We get things done together.”
“We've made significant progress and more has to be done,” Biden added. “But it’s going to require us to continue to focus on what Russia's not doing, what China's not doing, what Saudi Arabia's not doing.”
For all the challenges confronting him, the president attempted to stay optimistic. As Biden departed the news conference, he offered a thumbs up when asked if West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — key Democratic votes — were on board with his $1.75 trillion spending package for families, health care and renewable energy. The president also shrugged off his recent decline in the polls, saying that numbers go up and down.
As for the potential significance of Biden's thumbs-up on congressional negotiations, White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, said, “As the President said during the press conference, he is confident we are going to get this done and the thumbs up was simply a visual restatement of that.”
But the policy issues also seemed to fade for Biden when asked about his time Friday with Pope Francis. The president became deeply emotional, his hands appearing to fiddle with the mask he wore as a precaution because of COVID-19. He spoke of how the pope comforted the Biden family in a Philadelphia airport hangar after the death of his son, Beau, in 2015.
“When I won, (Pope Francis) called me to tell me how much he appreciated the fact that I would focus on the poor. focus on the needs of people who are in trouble,” Biden said. “He is everything I learned about Catholicism from the time I was a kid going from grade school to high school."
The president did leave the G-20 with commitments by his fellow leaders on a global minimum tax that would make it harder for large companies to avoid taxes by assigning their profits to countries with low tax rates. He announced new funding to improve ports and shipping, in addition to a conference next year on supply chains. He patched up differences with the European Union on tariffs and differences with France on the sale of a nuclear-powered submarines to Australia.
The president met Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose office said the meeting was held in a “positive atmosphere” despite tensions over human rights and Turkey's purchase of a Russian missile system, among other issues.
Biden heads Monday to the U.N. climate summit in Scotland, where he'll once again face questions about whether the world's wealthiest are doing enough to stop the warming of the Earth by moving away from fossil fuels. The president on Sunday dismissed the contradiction that he's fighting for climate change while also asking oil-rich countries to increase their production in order to lower gasoline prices for U.S. commuters.
“The idea that we’re not going to need gasoline for automobiles is just not realistic,” Biden said. “It has a profound impact on working-class families, just to get back and forth to work. So I don’t see anything inconsistent with that.”
BTW, the easiest way to see Critical Race Theory as being a losing issue for the Democrats is to watch Terry McAullffe run away as fast as he can from it.
Biden's overall take on his efforts: On climate change, he’s got $900 billion planned for renewable energy, and Congress will vote this coming week. On supply chains, he has plans to make the ports run better and tamp down inflation. For workers, he’s building an economy with pay raises. On diplomacy, world leaders trust him.

If President Biden's Build Back Better plan goes down in flames, you can blame the US Supreme Court. Their Citizens United decision, in fact, is destroying both American politics and the planet.
Case in point: Oil industry executives testified before Congress this week, suffering a barrage of questions, including particularly intense ones from Reps. Ro Khanna, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Katie Porter.
The CEOs exhibited the same sort of arrogant insolence Mark Zuckerberg displayed in July of last year when he was hauled before the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Commercial and Administrative Law. It was, basically, a smug, "Screw you, Congressperson."
Why were the representatives of Big Oil and Big Tech unafraid of the power of Congress?
Because, at the end of the day, they own that power. The Supreme Court gave it to them with their poisonous Citizens United
It turns out that Big Oil has spent, just over the past decade, over $450 million lobbying the federal government. We used to call this political corruption or even bribery until the Court ruled in Citizens United that money in politics isn't money: it's "free speech."
And, the Court added, corporations aren't corporations: they're persons, complete with a First Amendment right to free speech.
Representative Khanna repeatedly asked the CEOs of Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell Oil, and BP America if they'd stop funding advertising and PR efforts that are filled with outright lies about climate change. Pretty much every time he asked, he was met with a "screw you" silence.
These CEOs effectively own multiple members of Congress, as the world could see when it was the turn of the meek and obeisant Republican members to ask questions that mostly amounted to, "May I fluff the pillow you're sitting on, sir?"
And it's not just Big Oil. Every industry in America laughs at Congress.
Our elected representatives are there, in the minds of corporate America, to hand out subsidies and tax breaks, but if they take the smallest step toward protecting the American people from giant corporations or predatory billionaires they're simply brushed aside like troublesome lint.
The majority of Americans don't want Medicare privatized: but we're more than 40% of the way there through Bush's "Medicare Advantage" scam.
The majority of Americans don't want our Post Office gutted: Congress sucked tens of billions out of its budget in 2006 after the PO said they were going to electrify their fleet of cars (the largest in America) and DeJoy is using that as an excuse to cut service and raise prices.
The majority of Americans would like debt-free college like every other developed country in the world: the $1.5 trillion student loan industry just makes a few phone calls and the effort dies.
The majority of Americans want a national healthcare system that actually works at little cost to citizens: the health insurance industry hands Joe Lieberman over a million dollars and he kills the public option so we're left with an entirely corporatized Obamacare with $5000 annual deductibles.
The majority of Americans want something done about high drug prices: Big Pharma calls up Kurt Schrader, Scott Peters, Kathleen Rice, Kyrsten Sinema and a few other wholly owned members of Congress and that's the end of that.
The majority of Americans want their banks to stop hitting them with absurd fees for the smallest errors and would like some occasional customer service: Big Banking pulls a few strings and Senators are dancing like marionettes.
The majority of Americans want something done about climate change before our planet becomes uninhabitable: Big Coal and Gas light a fire under Joe Manchin and the entire GOP and that's the end of that.
The majority of Americans would like open and transparent elections and for their democracy to work like in other countries, without barriers to voting or bought-off politicians: neofascist rightwing billionaires will have the final say on that and it's not looking good.
The majority of Americans would like net neutrality and for corporations to stop spying on them: Big Tech just leans on the members of Congress they own and that effort comes to an abrupt halt.
The majority of Americans would like well-funded public schools that teach things like civics and critical thinking skills: the multi-billion-dollar Charter School industry gets last word.
The majority of Americans would like to be free of gun violence in our homes and streets: the gun industry gets final say here.
The majority of Americans would like good union jobs: the nation's giant employers have paid off politicians to gut union protections.
The majority of Americans would like a food supply free of toxic chemicals that harm children and cause cancer: giant fast- and processed-food companies laugh at us while their buddies in the chemical industry hold their beer.
Sadly, enough Americans believed that professional grifter to get him into the White House (with a little help from Russian oligarchs), but the principle remains: even Republican voters are disgusted by this crisis of corruption the Supreme Court has foisted upon us.
More than a decade ago I did a fundraiser for the Congressional Progressive Caucus with its then-chair, Rep. Raúl Grijalva. It was a small affair with a half-dozen politicians and around 100 activists.
Because of citizen outrage with how corrupt and bought-off our politics have become since the Supreme Court rewrote the rules of politics, today almost 100 members of Congress have been elected on "no corporate PAC money" pledges and become members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Today we're watching an epic battle to rebuild America being fought valiantly by progressives like Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Mark Pocan, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. They may lose this one battle, but the path they're on is steadily upward.
This is the only way we can now claw back our democratic republic from the corrupt billionaires and corporations.
We have to get money out of politics and the only way to do that is to get more people in office who are not addicted to or corrupted by money.
There's an election coming up in a year, and primaries will be conducted in the months ahead. We must do everything we can to identify, elect and support politicians who openly and sincerely pledge never to sell their souls to the devil of Big Money.
The actual Seminoles in a press release said they were honored by the respect the school was showing for the traditions of the Seminole nation. (Although “Chief Osceola” looks and acts more like a Lakota Soux than a Seminole).
And the the only undefeated tribe. I remember when the shit hit and the noles wore the black stripe that said “Still Undefeated”

I grew up in Rapid City South Dakota and the white people stole the Blue Hills of South Dakota after gold was didn't about the same time as when General Custer found gold and died in Montana.
I have been past the battlefield several dozen times.

Alky I grew up at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mtns and I’ve camped in the Black Hills, where pray tell is this mythical Blue Hills and what color are the unicorns???
Take the red pill
THWAPPP!!!
The Black Hills have camps across the area from Sheridan Lake Drive that goes from Rapid City to Sheridan lake. and highway 44 that goes for Rapid City to highway 385 that goes north and south through the who Black Hills. From Sturgis to Hot Springs. And it goes past both lakes. Pactola and Sheridan Lake. Pactola is the first lake on Rapid Creek to Rapid City where on June 9th 1972 when the flood that killed about 268 people, a few of them were my friends and their families.
I have been on every single road in the Black Hills of South... I even grew weed and hunted deer
LMAO at you
They are 1,000 miles from the black Hills
The Blue Ridge Mountains are a physiographic province of the larger Appalachian Mountains range. The mountain range is located in the eastern United States, and extends 550 miles southwest from southern Pennsylvania through Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Wikipedia
Actually , they are (1,627.2 mi) apart.
Always wrong Roger gets yet another one spectacularly wrong.
Roger channels Biden-speak.
"the white people stole the Blue Hills of South Dakota after gold was didn't about the same time..."
Alky I’ve camped all over, The Black Hills, Continental divide in Jackson, the Sawtooths, rafting the Snake River from Hell’s Canyon to its confluence with the Columbia
Hell, I was in Jackson 2 years ago, when’s the last time you’ve been out of your county?
Lol, damn Cali, kicking a mud hole in Alky's ass, again.
Cali , you missed the news, Roger bought a Audi A8 to tour the US in.
Biden is as dumb as the Three Socialist Stooges of CHT.
His policies created the spike in prices.

"Biden said the idea that Russia, Saudi Arabia and other producers are holding back to boost prices "is not right." With gas prices averaging $3.40 a gallon in the US, according to AAA, Biden said families are feeling it.
"It has profound impact on working class families just to get back and forth to work," Biden said. He talked about the issue with other major oil-consuming countries at the G-20, but told reporters he was reluctant to reveal any of their plans to spur producers to pump more"
Biden winds up G-20 summit with dings at Russia, China

ROME (AP) — President Joe Biden wrapped up his time at the Group of 20 summit on Sunday trying to convince Americans and the wider world that he’s got things under control — and taking Russia, China and Saudi Arabia to task for not doing enough to deal with the existential threat of climate change.
Biden's overall take on his efforts: On climate change, he’s got $900 billion planned for renewable energy, and Congress will vote this coming week. On supply chains, he has plans to make the ports run better and tamp down inflation. For workers, he’s building an economy with pay raises. On diplomacy, world leaders trust him.
But he also acknowledged what he can’t yet achieve: bringing Russia, China and Saudi Arabia to the table with the broader international community to limit carbon emissions and move to renewable energy.
In a news conference Sunday, the U.S. president spelled out his belief that all politics is personal and that what progress was achieved at the Rome summit came from direct interactions with other leaders.
“They know me. I know them,” Biden said of his fellow G-20 leaders. “We get things done together.”
“We've made significant progress and more has to be done,” Biden added. “But it’s going to require us to continue to focus on what Russia's not doing, what China's not doing, what Saudi Arabia's not doing.”
For all the challenges confronting him, the president attempted to stay optimistic. As Biden departed the news conference, he offered a thumbs up when asked if West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin and Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema — key Democratic votes — were on board with his $1.75 trillion spending package for families, health care and renewable energy. The president also shrugged off his recent decline in the polls, saying that numbers go up and down.
As for the potential significance of Biden's thumbs-up on congressional negotiations, White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, said, “As the President said during the press conference, he is confident we are going to get this done and the thumbs up was simply a visual restatement of that.”
But the policy issues also seemed to fade for Biden when asked about his time Friday with Pope Francis. The president became deeply emotional, his hands appearing to fiddle with the mask he wore as a precaution because of COVID-19. He spoke of how the pope comforted the Biden family in a Philadelphia airport hangar after the death of his son, Beau, in 2015.
“When I won, (Pope Francis) called me to tell me how much he appreciated the fact that I would focus on the poor. focus on the needs of people who are in trouble,” Biden said. “He is everything I learned about Catholicism from the time I was a kid going from grade school to high school."
The president did leave the G-20 with commitments by his fellow leaders on a global minimum tax that would make it harder for large companies to avoid taxes by assigning their profits to countries with low tax rates. He announced new funding to improve ports and shipping, in addition to a conference next year on supply chains. He patched up differences with the European Union on tariffs and differences with France on the sale of a nuclear-powered submarines to Australia.
The president met Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose office said the meeting was held in a “positive atmosphere” despite tensions over human rights and Turkey's purchase of a Russian missile system, among other issues.
Biden heads Monday to the U.N. climate summit in Scotland, where he'll once again face questions about whether the world's wealthiest are doing enough to stop the warming of the Earth by moving away from fossil fuels. The president on Sunday dismissed the contradiction that he's fighting for climate change while also asking oil-rich countries to increase their production in order to lower gasoline prices for U.S. commuters.
“The idea that we’re not going to need gasoline for automobiles is just not realistic,” Biden said. “It has a profound impact on working-class families, just to get back and forth to work. So I don’t see anything inconsistent with that.”

Excellent press conference following the summit with questions answered.
I have been in every state west of the Mississippi river except Alaska and Hawaii.
I have camped in almost all of them.
Southern Utah is the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Just in case you don't know it, "Let's Go Brandon" is a conservative code phrase for "Fuck Joe Biden."
I prefer fuck you kputz
The Braves blew it last night. A Grand Slam for a 4 run lead in the first and they couldn’t hold the lead.
Good hitting may beat good hitting but sure as shit good hitting shellacks mediocre pitching.
Boy they sure miss Charlie Morton.
BTW, the easiest way to see Critical Race Theory as being a losing issue for the Democrats is to watch Terry McAullffe run away as fast as he can from it.

For someone who said he lived in South Dakota, you sure confuse black with blue hills.

So where the fuck are all these plans pastor political hack?
