What people really wanted was to kill those horrible "entitlements." And they FAILED.

It's pretty hard to understand what's in their minds-- esp a guy like Ryan who's been that way since he was a young college guy. What does he think will help people out when bad times arrive?

If our first was a female, we were going to name her Beibhinn. Well, I was. Hub wasn't too happy. But at least it's a real lady name.

Thank you! She's now the far right wing of our party, far from the center.

In sixth grade they let us be crossing guards for the kindergarteners. I think that pretty well describes an exurb.

Nah they have nothing to fear from Old Handsome Joe, he's all about compromise, and the Bipartisan party runs on compromise (or rather it counts on things not being done because of compromise).

Trix, I loves ya, and I get the fury you feel at these stupid, stupid, tools of gawdknowswat puppet masters. But! If we lose either one of them before the mid-terms (and after that who knows) fucking Mitch McTurtle gets the gavel in the senate. And that would be bad, donchathink?

I still for the life of me can't understand why the GOP and these two are trying to gum up the works. It ain't like the super wealthy won't benefit from pre-K childcare when their workers can can work more, or a better internet system will get them more customers and lead-free drinking water will go a long way in creating a saner workforce. Simena's constituents can prosper from the solar grid and Manchin's will need the help when it comes to transitioning from coal.

As for the spreadsheets: Spreadsheets? My Ass. Simena can wipe hers with 'em because we can wipe all our U.S. asses on the trillions spent on unwinnable wars and not need toilet paper for a long fucking time.

Why the fuck can't we spend some fucking money in the US for good things (period).

It’s all just knee-jerk against spending ANY money on ANYTHING other than the Wealthy, isn’t it?

because I miss this Kyrsten Sinema.

I knew I was paying attention back then - she seemed like a good vote back then. Goddamn, power corrupts.
