My high ranking of Washington is less to do with the generalship and more to do with stepping down after two terms and his work at the Constitutional Convention (obviously that’s pre-presidency, but you don’t have a Constitution without it).
“It says Romneycare on the Wikipedia page, so clearly it was his idea.” If only you had read the article, you’d have seen the discussion of the legislative history where he vetoed most of the bill and it was passed over his objections.
Once you get past the top three, quality drops pretty quickly.
Technically the ACA was one of those annual budget bills as well! The House deemed the Senate version passed when they voted on a related measure that contained the budget provisions.
IRA was a budget bill.
In what way did he “institute” it? He opposed the bill and it was passed over his veto.
Also, none of what he said is true. The only commonality between ACA/MA Connector and the Heritage plan is that both had an individual mandate and the MA plan was passed by a Democratic legislature over Romney’s veto.
Petite! It’s even worse.
Not be a party pooper, but:
There probably is a lesson in the fact that Obama shepherded the most left-wing piece of federal legislation since the Great Society, over opposition in and outside his own party, and is chiefly remembered by the left now as a do-nothing moderate.
You talking about the Massachusetts governor who vetoed a similar state-level proposal?
I also find this very annoying, but in my experience it definitely seems more like a generic liberal thing than liberal Christians specifically.
I think this is true to a degree, but also gets easily weaponized by conservatives claiming it’s why they turned against public health recommendations they had already been protesting against for months.
I do think it’s actually a problem that the pandemic seems to have permanently lowered the potential of an entire cohort. The problem is all the evidence suggests it’s the pandemic that caused it, not our response being too aggressive.
That would cost money though, so can’t do that.
Indeed. It’s good that he attempted to make amends later in life, but it doesn’t override the harm he caused.
Very poorly.
Learning loss is a real issue. It’s also just as bad in the places that reopened sooner.
Part of the problem here though is that most of the “real harm” came from the virus itself, not the policy response. Places that rushed to reopen schools didn’t have better outcomes.
I need to know which Starbucks that map is referring to.
Is there any evidence that non-unionized forces are more accountable?
He won’t be for long with the way he’s freebasing right-wing crank content.
It’ll never happen.
I find this one extra annoying because conservatives try to pretend they were acting in solidarity until they saw supposed liberal hypocrisy, but they had already been protesting against mitigation measures for months when Floyd was murdered.
I was going to ask which, but the answer is obviously yes.
Wallace appointed more Black judges to the Alabama bench during his one term in the 80s than any other governor before or since.
The people who brave the Darien Gap and the Mexican desert to come to America and build a new life are more American on the day they show up then J.D. Vance and his disgusting ban of fascist freaks have ever been in their fucking lives.
CHOP reinvented police brutality from first principles in like a week.
Yes, but only Boomers know about those texts.
The problem with this argument is Trump saying there should be voter ID or mail in voting shouldn’t exist doesn’t make those things actually change.
His restaurant is inside another store that sells food and his stuff is significantly more expensive than the places around it. He’d struggle even without the weird culture war angle.
I think she was paid by a related group with the same funders, not the exact same group.
The property tax deduction runs on a separate track though and there are significant penalties if you get caught.
And she’s still lying, the contract doesn’t ban disclosure!
I can’t speak for the book, but the movie is an in-universe propaganda film.
Even some decent liberal blogs went so all in on it that I had to stop reading (looking at you, LGM).
Depends on the state. A lot of states have state-level limits on property tax levies and rural areas are already taxing at the max rate.
Are her social media posts? Because she posts a ton of false shit on social media and I don’t think people are required to ignore that.
Where on the website? Because the screenshot you shared doesn’t say that.
Yes, but once nominated he can threaten to invade Norway unless they give it to him.
I’m now visualizing him croaking mid-O.
Showing my kid some classics (Lee Corso headgear picks).
Need a content warning before posting something like that.
My guess is probably not, which is a pretty big hole in this line of questioning.
I like the nuclear block, but it’s also somewhat broken as I’ve had to block users I definitely know I’ve blocked before.
A lot of that is that though is a huge amount of “Biden was losing a step” argument devolve into folks claiming he had dementia.
It’s a technology no one outside of people who are anti-gun have an interest in.
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered the latter take on here.
There are people who are like "Should we use the energy from the wind and sun? Nah." And they vote.
I think this is a lot of it, but also a lot of people who think there shouldn’t be any restrictions on firearms but won’t admit that.
Thanks!
I’ll buy activist groups needing to know details, but I think it’s absurd to expect everyone to not have any opinion unless they have Gun Nerd Encyclopedia knowledge.
I’d be curious to hear to hear your reply to the argument in this article.
I’m not sure how the third one on the list even could demonstrate mortgage fraud. How is buying an investment property mortgage fraud?
I enjoy that Trump’s lawyers are trying to strip away the figleaf Roberts was hoping to rely on.
“I’m not a fan, I’ve just spend several days solely posting defenses of her dishonest arguments and frankly it’s sexist to point out she’s dishonest.”
The fact that a Tea Party darling like Ernst is now described as the (relative) center of the GOP is a sign of how deep the rot goes.
That would be the dynamic in a well-functioning legislature, but Dems don’t need to filibuster if Republicans don’t have the votes to pass the bill in the first place.
Why would they need to eliminate the filibuster? The problem they have here is not having a simple majority to pass the bill.
Actually, the AR stands for ephebophilia
Less than 20 years of jurisprudence, but otherwise agree.
I’m cool with giving you all of the Diet Pepsi. You don’t even need a hit on this.
Yes
Yes. We shouldn’t supply votes to bail them out of their caucus management problems without getting something concrete in return.
Right? What’s the point of cutting a deal they can immediately defect from after getting the benefits.
The program she’s being paid by and the “dark money” group she’s ranting about in the article are both funded by the same billionaire.
She probably gets some of them.
My understanding is that there are still access issues a la tax returns.
That’s also going to get interesting, because they probably had to commit a crime to get them.
Sure, but it’s actually an important point in a fraud prosecution.
Amazing that “Newsom, who even with his shitty rhetoric on trans rights, would be better than Trump (on trans rights and every other issue here the sun)” is considered an opinion worthy of frothing anger.
I agree, but that kind of split is also true for the current Labour government.
Preppy codes college-educated white, which is increasingly a Democratic demographic.
This is where I point out that even in the elections they lost they did better than fundamentals-based models would suggest, which means that message was likely effective even if everyone in the media found it cringe.
I see where you’re coming from, but that part didn’t bother me.
Also funny because I associate Funko pops with the type of guy who would make this sort of post.
That’s awesome!
I bought the Dubai chocolate at Costco without knowing it was an internet trend (I really like pistachios).
If this results in a five year prison sentence, a massive payout for building a machine to do this repeatedly seems relatively lax.
Living in your mom’s basement doesn’t make you a landowner.
THIS! If the primary electorate decides they want Newsom, I’ll suck it up and vote for him, but you can’t party unity me out of backing a primary candidate of my choosing.
Love to be lectured by a guy who seems to not know Hillary was Secretary of State and narrowly lost the 2008 nomination to Obama.
She was a high-ranking official in the outgoing administration who had very narrowly lost the last contested primary and had a larger profile than the VP. It’s not “stacking the deck” that no one wanted to run against her.
I’ll bite. How did the party “stack the deck” for Clinton in 2016?
Did she disclose that she was shilling phones for kids when ranting about schools banning phones last week?
Agreed. I would vote for Newsom over Trump in the general if it comes to that, but it’s wild that folks are trying to enforce party unity on behalf of someone who isn’t even a candidate (technically).
Because while Manchin favored it, he didn’t have 59 or more colleagues who agreed at the same time the House had a majority that agreed.
It rested on that because there wasn’t the votes for a legislative solution.
Even accepting your claims as trans rights as true (they’re not), what was the state of trans rights in 1967?
The eternal myth of the ACA being a “Republican-designed plan” because both it and a Heritage white paper from the 1990s contained a universal mandate.
I differ in than I would hold my nose and vote for Newsom in the general if he’s the nominee, but it’s absurd that people are attempting to shame people into voting for him in the primary.
Why are we assuming that Newsom has the best chance to win a general election?
I feel like the “How many baby daddies you have if you don’t mind me asking?” sound from TikTok is the only correct choice.
Jam, as others have mentioned, and there’s something you can do with strawberry jello packets that can create a facsimile of strawberry jam (not sure how, just remember old folks in my family talking about it).
I still find the idea that it’s outrageous they didn’t give a prime speaking slot to a group refusing to endorse baffling.
Honestly, he’s earned a primary challenge at this point either way.
You won’t find a single major paper discussing these yet every person who reads this knows what im talking about
Also worth pointing out that the “human shields” claim is often trotted out about things being in proximity to each other. Gaza is geographically tiny.
The ur-post was about Michigan, where presumably the state government could provide aid.
