I love how he just called a metric eff-ton of parents 'Welfare Queens'. -- nm - Diva Dec 20, 09:05 2
- It's astoundingly tone deaf. Even to his constituents. -- nm - pmb Dec 20, 09:12
- Give us hell, Quimby! -- nm* - Reagen Dec 20, 09:06
Okay, now that MF-er can go pound sand. -- (edited) - ReluctantSanta Dec 20, 08:45 2
- Now? -- nm - Spawnta Dec 20, 09:07 1
  - I try not to judge people prematurely, and I err on the side of getting more than enough information to make a sound judgment. - ReluctantSanta Dec 20, 09:23
I also think he felt like he needed to block something high profile while the Dems had both the White House and Congress for re-election. -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 08:21
Jesus, he's a fucking psychopath. "I was just messing with them" is what he's saying? -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 20, 08:17 2
- After the administration repeatedly assured us that he was bargaining in good faith. “Psych!” -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:18 1
  - I feel like it's all going sideways over the political equivalent of arguing whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich. -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 08:45
Wow. - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:15
His sticking point appears to have been the child tax credit because people are "spending it on drugs". -- nm - Reagen Dec 20, 08:04 10
- I've been to West Virginia. They have a huge Buffout, Psychotats, and Carry Weight Booster problem for sure. -- nm - Qale Dec 20, 08:24
- Yeah, like I said on B2, he's really weird about this. - Inigo Dec 20, 08:10 7
  - That’s exactly what this is, yeah. - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:19 4
    - Yeah, you're probably right. I do think he suddenly starts negotiating when it expires Dec. 31st. Or shortly thereafter. -- nm - Inigo Dec 20, 08:22 3
      - He’s said my IM outright, iinm, so this shouldn’t be a surprise. He’s also said $0 was an acceptable number for BBB. -- (edited) - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:25 2
        
        I think the fact that Goldman Sachs lowered they're US growth estimates based on his rejection may give some leverage to change the narrative. -- nm - pmb Dec 20, 08:29 1
        
        Who the f*ck knows at this point. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 20, 08:34
  - It's positive action vs negative action - Reagen Dec 20, 08:15 1
    - I think he's in the pocket of corporate interests who fear tax hikes, but he's using inflationary pressure to sell it. He's wrong, but that doesn't - pmb Dec 20, 08:20
- I think he's also still mad that VP Harris went to WV months ago without asking his permission -- nm - ty97 Dec 20, 08:06
he's going to flip parties. -- nm - Remlik Dec 20, 07:49 4
- perhaps. but not until after mid-terms and definitely not while DJT still controls the party. -- nm - Jovian Dec 20, 08:34
- I doubt it, he'd have no power. -- nm - ty97 Dec 20, 07:56 1
  - Yeah. He's at his most powerful as a Democrat with a 50/50 Senate and a Democrat in the White House. -- nm - Dano Dec 20, 08:06
- I doubt it. The only thing he seems to know what he's doing is to know what he's not doing. -- nm - Max Dec 20, 07:52
bastard -- nm - decline Dec 20, 07:37
