Dems hold up UB benefits and one wants to filibuster UB benefits

[Cancel 2018. 3]

It just seemed odd that no one has mentioned it on here

i posted it and i think it was in this thread

i almost made a seperate thread about it, but i thought it would be jarodkill....

By voice vote in a closed caucus meeting, Democrats passed a resolution saying the tax package should not come to the House floor for consideration as written

the dems won't even allow it to be considered, but its the republicans fault

Well. I went and made one since somebody has broken the ice. I like the way it talks about "questions" about his "influence" in his own party.

Take this with his Wikiweaks response to classified exposure...

So, who is the "party of NO" now? Hypocrites and assholes, the fucking bunch of them.

That's cute. I'm sure the House Democrats are more than happy with that appellation given their views on the compromise. Hopefully, they'll get agreement on the debt ceiling in exchange for their intractable intransigence.

What they are most likely to get is saddled with the obstructionist label they have been - hypocritically - trying to paint the republicans with the last several years. In 43 days the new house will take over and republicans will pass the tax cut extensions, and from there be able to take full credit for it while democrats will be (quite correctly) painted as the ones who would rather tax everyone more than give up on their tax-the-rich mantra.

Here's the rub: a compromise means everyone gets a bit, and loses a bit. Republicans are willing to compromise after being labeled the "party of no" these past years, while the democrats, who were doing the labeling, are obstructing a reasonable compromise, raising taxes on middle income families and telling long-term unemployed to go suck shit JUST TO TAX THE RICH.

If you think that will fly with the average voter, you're as big an idiot as the dipshits in the House.

Yeah, I've noticed. I actually came on tonight to see what people were saying about it. I thought Onceler might have something interesting to say.

So cute!

The fact that you said it twice at least shows me that you realize how obtuse you were for the bulk of this thread. Unfortunately, I don't think the bad news (or good for you, I guess), is going to last...

Good?

LOL. Man, you haven't paid any attention. What I actually said has never even soaked in beyond the first tangent you tried to throw at it, you've knee-jerked so hard in this thread that I'm surprised you don't need a cast quickly jumping into a long and tired conversation about the portion you thought was "wrong" while ignoring the actual thrust....

Then when we got to the end, can you tell me what I said about the actual compromise? I thought we had broken through, you actually addressed my point and thought it was all just wunnerful bliss and that it would win the D party all sorts of votes... We'll see if you can see past what you want to see and actually report what I said. You tried to tell me it was all under control and that nobody in your party was seriously considering not voting for this. No opposition...

You want projection? This is a perfect example.
