Since the republicans took the majority, I thought they had a plan for improving the country. What legislation did the republicans introduce that benefitted the country?
Kevin McCarthy tells Biden time is running out to negotiate spending cuts to raise the debt ceiling — even as Republicans have yet to put forth a concrete plan
Democrats are still waiting for a concrete plan from Republicans on what exactly they want to cut to raise the debt ceiling. Republicans have floated using debt prioritization — where the government would prioritize what payments they would make or not make should default come — as one route to avert a widespread crisis. But Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has said that approach is just default by a different name.
Yeah! It’s been 2 months…
Only one bill they’ve passed has even passed the Senate, which was promptly vetoed by the President. But, of course, you knew that.
I just find it incredibly sad and worrisome that this is happening in 2022/ 2023
UC BERKELEY CO-OP HOUSING BANS WHITE PEOPLE FROM COMMON AREAS
The latest incidence of institutional racism comes from an entirely unsurprising area.
If there’s an absurd far left policy to be found, it’s a safe bet it comes from the San Francisco Bay Area.
A new report from The Daily Mail details that an off-campus co-op near University of California-Berkeley that houses university students is banning “white people” from common spaces. The reports also says that many of its residents moved there to “avoid ‘white violence and presence.’”
It might sound too ridiculous to be true, but a photo of the “house guest rules” quite literally says it all. Members should “respect their decision of avoidance” if they dare allow white guests to visit the residence.
While the housing is not operated by the university itself, it was set up by a cooperative of Cal students.
And naturally, the house rules also include wearing masks, because nonsensical policies like these seemingly go hand in hand.
Avoid Bringing White People Who Express Bigotry To The House, Please
In a perfect distillation of modern victimhood culture, the entire property was designed to provide housing for “marginalized students of color.” It also specifically bans residents from bringing in “parents/family members that express bigotry.”
“The house was set up as part of the Berkeley Student Cooperative, a program designed to bring affordable housing to students in California’s Bay-area, and ‘aims to provide housing to low-income, first generation, immigrant and marginalized students of color.’
According to the rules, people who live there should “avoid bringing parents/family members that express bigotry,” because “Queer, Black, and Indigenous members should not have to avoid common spaces because of homophobic or racist parents/family members.”
As I mentioned earlier, America really did not have a national identity. Instead, each and every ethnic group that came over had their own ethnic identity, even if they were ideological doctrine.
When the country splits 50/50 between whites and non-whites, how does it unite? Blacks will make up the smallest percentage of the non-white 50%, hispanics will make up the majority of the non-white 50%, and Asian populations will come in second place of the non-white 50%? Do people just go their own way and deal with their own race?
There is only one thing united about America, the words United States of America
Republicans’ ‘ready-to-go’ agenda stalls with surprising speed
Republicans put together a list of “ready-to-go” bills that would prove that they were serious about legislating. Now, nearly half of the bills can’t pass.
About a month ago, there was still some uncertainty about who would lead the House as Republicans prepared to take over the majority. As you might’ve noticed, Kevin McCarthy’s bid for speaker proved to be a bit more contentious than the GOP hoped.
But while that intra-party drama unfolded, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise expressed great confidence on Dec. 30, 2022, in the Republican conference’s legislative plans. The Louisianan sent members a list of “meaningful, ‘ready-to-go’ legislation” that the chamber would take up in the first two weeks of the new Congress.
These “commonsense measures,” Scalise said, “should garner wide support and provide an indication of our bold agenda to come.”
As January comes to an end, how many of the 11 “ready-to-go” bills proved to be ready to go? About half of them. Politico reported:
House Republicans have yet to take up five of the 11 measures they deemed “ready-to-go” back in December for floor action during the first two weeks of the session. … All of these measures were listed for consideration in the first two weeks of this Congress by Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Dec. 30. None are listed on the schedule this week, which is the chamber’s fifth.
To be sure, House Republicans have tackled some of their legislative to-do list. As regular readers know, on the GOP majority’s first full day, Republicans approved a bill to increase the deficit, help tax cheats, and target IRS agents who do not actually exist. The party also got to work trying to impose new abortion restrictions, despite public sentiments on the issue.
In other words, a month into the new Congress, the House GOP majority isn’t yet ready to move on much of its own legislative agenda.
you can focus on that if you want to, what has the republicans done? they are the ones saying they had a ready made plan, those words came out of their mouth not Maddow
A Texas bill would allow anyone to sue people who perform in drag where minors are present—or sue someone who hosts such a performance—and collect $5,000 in damages plus attorneys fees, whether or not a minor was brought to the performance by their parent or guardian. The vagueness of the proposed law means it could incentivize Texans to sue transgender and nonbinary people for simply existing in public.
Here is the difference bucko, I don’t boast about media figures like you do about Tucker Carlson and Fox News, who obviously have their own problems.
I have no problem calling out the left, something you can never do to the right Because in your mind they can do no wrong, I have also admitted when I was wrong, which is something you can’t morally do.
Bucko!.. I like that … Because you have nothing to boast about… That’s why… FOX and Tucker are thumping all the other networks put together…
And so you should, there is so much to call out… Almost on a daily basis…
Please point out the error of my ways… Where I haven’t provided data/facts/links to backup my posts…
When I posted the Police bodycam video of the Paul Pelosi incident without any commentary from me… I asked viewers to make up their own minds… A concept which spun you into a catatonic fit…
I even post CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post coverage from time to time in this thread… I like to keep the insanity balanced… Very much in keeping with your balanced outlook on Political Issues, carrying a chip on each shoulder…
We’ll never see a FOX link from you… You’d breakout in a nasty rash… It’s Kryptonite to you…
