You can say that with a straight face?  With all of the corporate democrats that are millionaires, in some cases one hundred times over and have gotten that level of wealth while being in government?  How does that differ from an oligarch in Russia or a corrupt energy executive in Nigeria?
Senate first, no? >

Correct. These House bills will never make to Biden's desk. 
Republican congressmen know that, their voters do not. >

Well there isn’t much that their voters do know, so it’s pretty much a given. >

Had a neighbor the other day trying to tell me that trump was in Maralago on Jan 6. I said no he was in the White House. He said no that Biden was inaugurated and was in the White House. I just walked away. >

They really are dumb, which would be fine if they weren’t always forcing their stupidity on the rest of us. >

I had someone try to tell me they make 30k and will never need government assistance in retirement >

I was actually given an explanation about this w my republican father.
See, SS and old people benefits aren't "government assistance" because I didn't quite get a logical reason. Something about he had a job but now he gets benefits so it's ok, not like unemployment (?). See these benefits aren't given to people that don't want to work, they're given to the retired. He had a few other not-racist almost-points before it just became racist not-points. >

A lot of people seem to think that SS is like a 401k, where you pay in throughout your life and then get “your” money back when you retire. >

With how the government has looted SS most people would have been better off with that. Smh why people didn’t elect gore is besides me >

The people did elect Gore in 2000, and there’s a distinct possibility the electoral college would have had to as well if Gore hadn’t conceded Florida. >

I don't even think this'll pass the Senate. >

It won't. This is just a dog and pony show so the GQP can cry about the democrats obstructing them to their base. >

Please.  Bidens never going to see them, theyre dead in the senate.  Even the Republicans in the senate might say no.
Id sort of love to see the dems vote "present" just to watch the freakout. >


Even the Republicans in the senate might say no.

Hah, you made a funny! >

Actually its happened before.  Leading to McConnell at the time I think voting against his own bill. >

I think that was so he could reintroduce it later >

It was actually a political stunt to try and make the Dems look bad.  McConnel pushed a bill that he thought the Dems wouldn’t back (and thus, wouldn’t be approved) so he could say Dems aren’t united and Obama can’t even get support from a democratically controlled senate. 
Lo and behold, the Dems actually liked the bill and were planning on voting to pass it.
This wasn’t quite what McConnel had in mind, so he filibustered it.  
Link here >

Wait, that bill was actually a good idea, no wonder McConnell had to kill it >

Not like they're ever going to make it to his desk. The Senate will not pass anything that egregious.
Nope, this is going to be two years of bullshit dead-end congressional investigations and no new legislation worth discussing.
Some post offices might get renamed though. >

I wonder if Biden will make it through his first term without ever using his veto pen? >

"Fuck outta here with that shit, corn pop." - Joe Biden >

"This tax bill is a plateful of Malarkey" - Joe Biden >

“You really thought I would sign this malarkey, Jack?”

Dark Brandon >

If they get past the Senate. >

I would wager the majority of the core base Republicans don't even pay income tax.  So they yet again would be supporting getting fucked over and in this case in a big big way. >


I would wager the majority of the core base Republicans don't even pay income tax. 

They don't see it that way. They see taxes coming out of their check each pay period, and to them, that is paying taxes. And if a tax bill will see that total come down by even $20/pay period, they'll support it, because they see that as them paying less taxes. 
The size of their refund check doesn't factor into it for them. >

Oh I remember the Republican tax "cut".  I knew some people whose taxes went up, which they didn't figure out till tax time cause of the change in tables. >

So did they rationalize things away? >

If they’re anything like my family, they blamed it on democrats anyways >

He should get out in front of the debt ceiling brinkmanship by saying he'll flat veto any related bill that does anything other than simply raise the debt ceiling.  The GOP needs to be broken of the filthy habit of using the debt ceiling as a bargaining chip.   
After all, what is it they say about appeasement? >

Ask Neville chamberlain >

Dark Brandon has awoken from his slumber. >

The Senate won’t pass them to get them there. 
The extra sentiment of fuck your dumb shit is appreciated though. >

They’re not serious bills anyway.  Republicans are wasting taxpayer money. >

Do Republicans still try and sell "tricke down economics"?
Or are they past that and just openly piss on their own voters? >

Oh they pretend now that there was never any such thing and that Reaganomics was always only "supply-side economics".  Which is patently garbage. >

And Republican voters will likely throw a fit over this veto and call Biden a dictator, and the only response I can think of is,
Why are you ? You're not even rich!
And they'll say... >

"One day I might be rich, and folks like me better watch their step!" >

Unexpected Futurama >

I mean… I dont know about unexpected. He teed that one up nicely imo! >

"Biden is no different than Trump, he's a republican".
Screed of people who wanted republicans to win in 2020. >

There's a ton of people who want to see Democrats lose to republicans just for the satisfaction of saying "I told ya so".
They're really just people who wear their political ideology as an aesthetic, not as actual beliefs they want to see implemented in the world. >

its the same sports team mentality >

Dark Brandon not gonna tolerate any GQP malarkey Jack >

Wipe your shoes with the piece of paper! >

As he should >

A voice of reason in a world of malarkey. >

Republicans just put this out there for attention >

Que the BS legislation and grandstanding >

Good on you, Joe.
Now I hope you keep your promise to not give in when they shut down the gov't over SS & MC. >

Where is the PR at how bad these bills are for the economy / inflation/ everyday American?
FFS - counter* these classified doc stories *with some reasons why R can't govern. >

I feel like you guys should let it pass tho; then start a massive media campaign against the republicans. After 3 months; pass an emergency bill to re-instate taxes. >

They should 100% pass it and keep stating, you voted for the GOP so we will pass their legislation.  Every common joe/jane paying 23% tax rate on purchases plus the huge increase the next year because of the shortfall might wake the Repub. voters up, might. Then again, if the senate and president said they will pass it, they might just drop it. >

During the campaign Republicans were nonstop talking about how bad inflation was and one of the the first things they want to do is add a huge tax to every product Americans buy. Makes sense….🙄 >

Republicans really try and do anything they can to keep as much money for the rich and take as much money from the working class. Holy shit.
