Now if you asked WTF is Sen. Sinema's shtick, nobody really knows, and I feel that includes Sinema herself!


Sen. Sinema, once a member of the Green Party, done love 'dat cash a-rolling in.

Please, please, make it stop. Dumb ass you are not in the Senate, McCarthy. He's literally filibustering the bill at this moment just to make himself look even more ridiculous.
The other side of the isle hasn't been giving him the proper attention he deserves so he's stops, to get the president of the house to gavel order. I swear, what an Fn clown show.

If he doesn’t stand up for millionaires then who else will?

Who else will?!

My god, it's 6:41 am on the west coast. They are finally voting on the bill. Which is going to pass. 220 to 209 for BBB!, so far.
EDIT: 6:46 am PST, Nancy pounded the gavel. On to the Senate!
EDIT: Of course the Pubs demanded a recorded vote on the motion to reconsider, which will also go down.

House is going to have to vote again after the Senate does its thing. CBO score came in less deficit inducing than the BIF which Manchin loved so I don't want to really hear from him about fiscal responsibility and every analysis said its not inflationary.

Whenever Rs complain about this in media the only D response should be that they are against $35 insulin and hearing aids for the elderly.

Creeping Kevin McCarthyism.

One more ridiculous, yet malignant embarrassment to democracy.
He went for over 8 hours. I checked in about 4 times and it sounded like he was talking about the same thing each time. Endless grievance appears to be the Republican platform.

I can not believe the brainwashing. Many of my liberal democrat friends are actually saying THIS BILL IS TOO EXPENSIVE and... believing that the reason for the gas price hikes and food price hikes is because of the Biden agenda and because of stuff like THIS BILL.

And I reply....
So, you don't think that America has enough money to help out the little people like you? Or, you think yourself not worthy of a fair break? Or, the huge tax cuts for the rich are just great but a little help for the middle class is undeserving?
And I want to say WTF is wrong with you?
They have convinced even you that the rich deserve to get richer while the poor i.e. the middle class Americans do not deserve even a little help.

Yes, it is sad that we have so many Americans who actually pay the taxes as opposed to the rich who avoid paying taxes, that so many Americans are now totally brainwashed into thinking trickle-down is working for them.

You gotta find out where these idiots are getting the propaganda and straighten them out with real facts.

First off, it's easy where they're getting the information. Fox, OANN, Breitbart, Facebook, Parler, etc. Most of them are years-to-decades old.

Second, no amount of facts are going to change the beliefs of someone who believes whatever they're told because they only trust their fellow cult members. Some of these fucking morons think Trump is still President and Joe Biden is a computer simulation on the same stage where they faked the moon landing, and I'm not joking.

At this point, it's best to encourage them to forgo anything remotely socilalistic, like the COVID vaccine, seat belts, FDA warnings, etc, so they can self-disenfranchise themselves.

Are liberal Democrats reading Breitbart? I doubt it. It's probably social media from their corrupted shitty GQP friends.

The thought leaders are the same. They use the same words and phrases so that the message is consistent in getting the reprogrammable meatbags all on the same page. After that it really doesn't matter. You could shut down Facebook and prove the fascists correct about authoritarian libruuls, but it wouldn't change anything, because the words and phrases would continue getting sent out over Fox and Breitbart and then sent on over text. Or Snapchat. Or Parler. Or whatever else.

You aren't going to convince a fucking moron to stop being a moron.

So called liberal MSM media is the worst. Just supplying numbers with no background, like say WE JUST ARE NOW COMING OUT OF A WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC and people haven't spent any money for like the last year or so staying home. Now they are paying anything for stuff and the usual suspects are fulfilling their desires AT ANY PRICE! (And it's the usual suspects that are complaining about INFLATION while RAKING IT IN.
