and did the right thing.

Mike Flynn (via his brother Charles Flynn) is a key figure IMO in all of this - what was his role in neutering DoD so that the response was late/weak to the insurrection.

Just blast him into space ('prime delivery' ha) and don't let him come back until he pays taxes and pays workers a fair wage.

meaning we need to gerrymander as hard as we can to get every last seat, need to put laws on state and local levels that strongly criminalize any attempt to subvert elections and suppress votes, etc. Expand and pack the Supreme Court. Make DC and PR states.

Agree that while BIF and BBB are nice things to have, Biden was elected for existential reasons namely the threat Trump and Trumpism pose to democracy and many of the rights liberals have fought for over the past 50 years.

Nicolle Wallace and her panel which includes several former Repubs say that voting rights are the 'four alarm fire' that Dems should be sounding on a daily basis and using every possible mechanism to force the issue.

Biden is president because black and brown voters stood on long lines in urban areas like Philly, Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta. Schumer is majority leader because black voters and Stacy Abrams helped win those two Senate seats in GA.

Suburban swing voters also voted for Biden due to fears of Trump and the threat the RW presents to democracy and rights more broadly such as voting rights, civil rights and women's rights/choice. Even though such voters typically lean center-right on economics they tend to lean left on social and structural issues.

Bill Clinton would've never opposed dental coverage, and in fact tried to get Obamacare when it was called Hillarycare.

Manchin is also not ideologically what a conservative Democrat historically was - someone who was culturally conservative but would always support New Deal economics that would bolster the safety net for the middle class. Dental coverage is a basic need, not a luxury.

Manchin and Sinema are more ideologically like Susan Collins who is a moderate Republican.

Income taxes aren't effective in reducing economic inequality, mainly because the rich don't work and don't have income on paper.

C'mon now, at least try to be less transparent, makes it more fun.

You do know that FOX basically fed the Trump criminals info for 4 years? How 'bout them ethics? Lemon's ethical lapse (if one could call it that) is tiny in comparison.

CNN and MSNBC (and other networks) split the liberal audience - only reason FOX 'wins' in those slots. FOX also has a much less desirable audience (older, whiter more rural) as far as advertisers are concerned - compared to CNN and MSNBC.

that take a break from ironing their white robes to comment whenever topics like these come up.

The fact that Silverman singled out Reid as 'not doing straight news' when the 3 major cable networks in prime time all have opinion hosts after 4pm - tells you all you need to know.

Silverman has long been a racist, and is the classic entitled Karen who resents not being able to make jokes about non-whites like she used to. She only pretends to be liberal, has admitted as much that it is easier to 'get away' telling racist jokes if one is perceived as a liberal.

and basically pretends to be liberal as a shield to make more offensive jokes.
