GentleAlien's JournalDo we really need the Senate Parliamentarian when we have the Senate President?
There has been historical precedent(s) as cited by Ro Khanna, where the Senate Parliamentarian was overruled by the Prez. In this age of unprecedented economic hardship and staggering income equality, is it really that radical to increase the minimum wage? Now we all know there are only *two* ways it can be done: a) via reconciliation and b) via ending the filibuster. Pelosi and Schumer realize it, not sure what's going in WH... Any comments?
How many more Donald Trumps are out there??
Ambitious spoiled-brats who love to game the system, forge ties with shadowy underworld figures, exploit systemic loopholes, hog media spotlight, flaunt their wealth to create a false aura of superiority and achievement about themselves - and in the end, leverage the name recognition to enter politics as "outsiders".
Wasn't DJT a known failure and a social punch-line in the 90s and 2000s? Weren't his ties to sick figures like Epestein rather open-secrets? Sure one can hope that past racists can be reformed with enough positive influences of fellow Democrats - but what about all the financial corruption and abuse of the system? the sexual impropriety? And If he was so notorious, why didn't the Democrats shun him earlier? I am asking because I am wary of a DJT 2.0 who might be an "upgraded" version of this one. IMHO a DJT like 'ex-democrat' is even more dangerous than, say a guy from deep-south because of his broader appeal.
What do you guys think?
