Complain that a 5k rebate will make the US insolvent, but then votes to give the military another 600 gazillion a year

If he doesn’t they should kick him out

You should never feel shame for the immutable characteristics of your identity. Race, gender, origin, sexuality are what they are. You can’t control them and neither can anyone else.

You are only responsible for your actions and how you treat others. Anyone that makes you feel like your identity is bad or shameful is part of the problem.

Damn he really was just the one chosen to take the fall

I’m hoping for a fairphone once my current phone wears out.

I’ve only ever bought refurbished unlocked phones, but fairphone seems worth the price to buy new.

But if anyone needs a phone cheap buying a refurbished android that 2-3 gens old is surprisingly affordable. Usually getting it in purple saves $30-50 as well

Virtue signaling by attempting to pass a bill that will be vetoed does not save lives.

As for your request, I did consider that. Even stated it in my original comment. My fear is that too many people only respond after something has happened and don’t follow the debate at all.

I’m unconvinced removing gaurd rails just to debate on bills that will be vetoed is worth the risk of what happens when/if Republicans regain control

If this was just politics sure, but Republicans have made it clear lives are at stake. Not worth the risk right now, but maybe in the future

Yep I’d at least have one kid if I could afford it. But as it stands 1 kid would make life pay check to pay check and hellish. Me and my wife both even have “decent” jobs. Jobs that 20 years ago would have paid enough for a family of 4 and a suburban house, but today not so much.

NJ and NY are going to lose out on a lot of free tax revenue though

Gutting the fillabuster is a terrible idea. They don’t control the presidency so whatever they pass will recieve a veto. I understand that it would force Trump to do it, but I just don’t think it will resonate in a way that will change anything

Then if Republicans regain control somehow there’s no fillabuster to slow them down like there has been.

The time to remove the fillabuster would be if they reclaim the presidency and hold the house/senate. Then they could ram through popular reform that should prevent Republicans from winning next cycle, but removing the fillabuster now is a huge risk with a small chance of reward. People just don’t see failing to pass a bill as success, unfortunately too many voters only respond on what they feel at home. Not what politicians tried to do. It’s shortsighted, but that’s the reality

Hillary?

Why do you type like a boomer?

Anyway, last vote to end the war was last month before midterms.

If you’re talking about the vote to impeach Hegseth that was narrowly blocked in the house. 211 against 204 for, let’s just check how many seats democrats gained in the house. That’s +41 seats. But impeaching Hegseth does nothing to stop the Iran war. The president commands the secretary of Defense and the military. Congress needs to vote under the war powers act to stop the war

Also impeachment does not require the executive branch to sign off so the veto is irrelevant there.

If you weren’t trying to complain sarcastically my bad

Pick another protein may be one of the best political ads I’ve ever seen

I had the misfortune of living in Florida until recently and there was no real indication it would be that close. Polling and precedent did not make it seem competitive. Now the state is clearly competitive again.

It wasn’t all that long ago that the Dems didn’t send funding to Georgia. But once they saw a path they started to up the funding and campaigning. They will likely spend more in Florida next time, and voter engagement will increase. People are encouraged to go vote when they think it’s close. Hopefully this election proves to everyone that every state is in play now.

Medicare for all will still be a cost for employers. It just changes who they’re paying for their contribution to employee insurance.

Although it does level the playing field so buisness don’t have to compete to have the best health benefits. This will save some employers money, but most it’ll be the same. Maybe a decrease on what they have to pay as well

Not impossible. I think many Republicans will break with Trump seeing this election and the loss of so many “safe” seats should have them afraid.

I’m not saying they will help pass Medicare for all, but I think they will help pass bills like the end of the Iran war

Yes he can’t be president, but no reason he can’t be governor of New York for 2 terms and then become senator. He’s young enough to do 2 terms as mayor, 2 terms as governor, and still enter the senate significantly younger than the average age

That’s exactly why I disagree with it. Trump will veto everything and we lose the main protection against Republicans if they reclaim the majority.

The time to drop the fillabuster is when they control all 3 branches

“Yes we gave ICE a $50 trillion budget for next year, but in exchange we recieved a gentleman’s agreement that the president would consider allowing the permit for 1 wind farm to be reviewed.”

21st century modern, our relative “softness” is cultural.

From what we know about how people lived in the past, a human 30,000 years ago would have an easier time killing the goose. Both physically and mentally. They are of course still anatomically modern, just living very different lives with very different cultures.

Of course this is a bit of an assumption, but we know for a fact they were killing a bunch of animals
