How will Joe Biden GOVERN? General Biden Administration F**kery Thread
- Thread starter FAH1223
- Start date
Don’t wanna celebrate too early, but Biden really looking like an old dog learning new tricks
The shadow Warren/Sanders presidency is working
@FAH1223 can you provide clarity on this? Did the parliamentarian give clearance for a FY22 budget reconciliation or a second one for FY21? I read the article and was a little confused.
Edit:
Oh it's several times per fiscal year? It's going to be interesting to see what restrictions are on it.

Yeah, not a good look. That 19M number sounded fugazi from the jump tbh. CNN made him do a little clean-up on his answer yesterday.

This ruling on using reconciliation is dumb.
If the fear against reforming the filibuster was that Republicans would go on a warpath without it when they get power back (which was never a legitimate fear), what's stopping them from just abusing the reconciliation process next time they have the Senate?

I guess the thinking is with reconciliation it has to be budget related whereas if they got rid of the filibuster and Republicans got control of the Senate again they would be long dikking us with anything they wanted. *shudders*
DNC launches billboard blitz to sell Biden's $1.9T coronavirus relief law

Democrats calling out GOP for not supporting the $1,400 stimulus checks

Rep. Titus: Biden's spending plan will 'build better infrastructure, create jobs'
Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., responds to backlash over President Biden's $2 trillion spending plan.
EXCLUSIVE: The Democratic National Committee is hitting the road in its latest campaign to tout President Biden's $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan and call out Republicans who voted against it.
The DNC will unveil billboards Monday in 20 states to thank Biden and Democratic senators for approving $1,400 stimulus checks. The monthlong ad campaign, targeted for high-traffic areas near airports, will also remind motorists that their GOP senators opposed the payments to 127 million Americans.
In Orlando, Florida, for example, the new billboard on State Road 528 along the route to the airport shames GOP Sens. Rick Scott and Marco Rubio.
"Help is here," the billboard reads. "Thanks to President Biden. No Thanks to Sen. Scott [and] Sen. Rubio."
(Democratic National Committee.)
All GOP lawmakers in the House and Senate voted against the $1.9 trillion package, arguing it was too bloated and filled with liberal priorities that were not coronavirus-related.
Rubio panned the legislation as "a Trojan horse to begin a radical restructuring of the nation," while Scott said Biden's stimulus package was "massive, wasteful and untargeted."
Democrats, however, believe the package is a winning political issue and will deliver needed relief to struggling Americans through the stimulus payments, enhanced unemployment benefits, new advanced child tax credit payments and funding for schools and vaccinations.
8 SENATE DEMS WHO VOTED AGAINST $15 MINIMUM WAGE UNDER PRESSURE FROM PROGRESSIVE GROUP
"Folks across the country and senators traveling home won’t be able to miss this message: Help is here because of President Biden and Democratic leaders and despite the Republicans who unanimously opposed relief," DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison said in a statement first obtained by Fox News.
Harrison added: "Democrats passed the American Rescue Plan -- which includes direct payments of up to $1,400 per person and resources to help manufacture and distribute vaccines because they knew help couldn’t wait -- and we aren’t slowing down anytime soon."
The billboards are going up in both red and blue states: Los Angeles; Denver; Cleveland; Milwaukee; Portland; Minneapolis; Houston; Orlando; Atlanta; Indianapolis; Las Vegas; Philadelphia; Seattle; Nashville; Kenner, Louisiana; Romulus, Michigan; Springfield, Missouri; Manchester, New Hampshire; Newark, Greensboro, North Carolina; and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; the DNC first revealed to Fox News.
RNC LAUNCHES MAJOR CAMPAIGN BLITZ TO BLOCK DEMOCRATS' ELECTION-REFORM PUSH
In Wisconsin, for example, the billboard on Interstate 94, just north of Rawson Avenue, thanks Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin but calls out GOP Sen. Ron Johnson for voting against the aid package.
(Democratic National Committee)
The campaign is the latest effort by Democrats to tout the benefits of the plan that is supported by a majority of Americans. A Gallup poll released March 26found that 63% of Americans approve of the pandemic relief package.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SUED BY 13 STATES OVER TAX PROVISION IN CORONAVIRUS RELIEF PLAN
The DNC already launched a digital advertising blitz on several local newspaper websites, released a "Help is Here" ad on cable and in battleground states, and even paid for a bright video billboard in Times Square thanking Biden and Democrats for passing the aid.
The DNC did not disclose how much it will spend in its ongoing campaign to boost Biden's first legislative victory.

On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Democrats are hosting virtual events to educate their districts on what is available in the coronavirus bill and how to access the resources.
"It is imperative that the American people know the progress that is being made to save their lives and livelihoods," Pelosi said in a letter to her colleagues urging them to participate.

The selling of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus plan comes as Biden is trying to build support for another massive initiative -- $2.3 trillion in spending on infrastructure and other big-ticket items that would be paid for, in part, by proposed new corporate tax hikes.
Republicans have been quick to dismiss the latest spending package and instead have continued to hit Biden for the thousands of migrants from Central America seeking entry at the southern border.

Edit:
Basically the budget resolution they passed in January to do the stimulus can he modified so you can pass another tax and spend package in FY21.
And then if that’s the case you can do multiple reconciliations in FY22
Another mediocre disappointing white woman.
Seriously tho what is her play here? Is she just trolling her base? She's really fukked this about as much as possible for Democrats. Like to the point I question she's not shifting party, except she can't get elected as a Republican. Her AZ approvals are in the toilet, she's already more or less been told she's going to get primaried, and now she's doing the opposite of what her voting base desires...

She doesn't care. She thinks that she is being "principled".
