Larry,  I hope you're right on the "go big" approach,  but remain somewhat pessimistic and think it could backfire.   GOP has a knack for making Democratic policy successes look like failures to the gullible.   These are people who can get their faithful to believe a couple windmills in Sweden is the entire infrastructure in Texas.  And believe that Governor Abbot can lay the blame on green policies he hasn't even implemented. 

We just witnessed Boz trying to explain privilege walks to Bambu,  and it was like watching a geologist explain plate tectonics to a dog.   The Bambus of America will have a similar comprehension of the benefits of Going Big.   

The cultists need deprogramming before they will recognize societal goods that are blindingly obvious to everyone else.   And I see no clear path to that.

You need a new act. When you keep telling people how much they hate you, they will.

Strip naked and hug a Saguaro. You dumb fuck

Push through the big shit and fewer people are pissed off and resentful.

Budgets are moral documents.

So is this plan only taking ‘baby steps?”

Why is Joe touching the “third rail of politics?”is this a ‘smart’mive?


Democrats call for ‘big, bold’ action on immigration as Biden’s bill is introduced

Fauci’s challenge was to correct the president’s dangerous falsehoods as diplomatically as possible, often while sharing the stage with him at televised White House briefings, but he says that ‘when it became clear that in order to maintain my integrity and to get the right message [across] I had to publicly disagree with him, he did things – or allowed things to happen – that were terrible.’

What do you have against Saguaro? They are beautiful, majestic, strikingly photogenic at sunset and do not deserve that fate.

Larry seems to forget he made the same arguments last June about this being a once in a lifetime opportunity to GO BIG, yet despite a fascist atop the R-ticket, and a moderate atop the Dems, the Dems managed to lose 13 House seats on mod-indy voter fears of police defunding, unrest in Philly, and Repubs marketing Dems as dangerous socialists.

the R-party is on the verge of imploding, civil war, and has handed the keys to Trump to drive the car. This is a road trip to disaster.

There is no need for the Dems to give the Rs anything that will re-unite them in time for '22.

Let the motherfuckers stab each other or commit hari-kari.

Joe and the Ds can win huge battles on covid-eonomy-jobs-infrastructure O-Care and a few other things that people want.

Let the Rs fight against these popular plans that both Rs and Ds voters need and want. Like their health and jobs and schools and insurance.

The Rs will self-destruct and Dems can recruit a shit-ton of new voters who are willing to vote D-Blue in '22 and '24 and maybe generationally.

slow role this, win the easy hands, collect chips to play for bigger pots, post '22.

An Albany-based watchdog group says that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's nursing home directive was likely responsible for more than 1,000 additional resident deaths during the coronavirus pandemic, despite numerous denials by the administration that their order was heavily to blame.

Sure. That’s all we need are more Government “ green” policies!
Every Federal administration back to Bush 41 has endorsed and then renewed the federal tax credit for building renewable Wind and Solar Farms( worth up to 30%of the cost). The end result has been higher prices for electricity generated by nuclear, gas, and coal plants hence many going out of business
Of course adding more unreliable wind and solar sources leaves the likelihood the grids will be out of balance, especially during bad weather when reliable power is needed most.
Throw in decisions by Cuomo in New York and Murphy in New Jersey to stop pipeline construction so gas can be moved more efficiently from Pennsylvania that helps make the cost of electricity 50 per cent higher in New York and New Jersey than Pennsylvania.( according to Energy InformationAdministration).

I disagree.

That's certainly your right to disagree with my opinion.

Although I note you and kid are in agreement on this.

and kid's not right on much of anything.

so you might want to reconsider.

And I will note

is factually correct.

[facilitatorn]

I have to agree with Larry and Kid.

Republican officialdom and more and more the party as a whole is comprised of feckless surrender monkeys. They no longer have the power or unity of purpose to stop any of Biden’s popular and practical agenda.

While the cracker taliban is putting its heart and soul into getting Moscow Mitch and defendant don to make kissy face or at least to get them to stand back and stand by, Democrats can do the people’s business.

Americans care far more about the government getting things done to reverse and resolve the nasty tangle of republican born crises infecting and plaguing their lives.

Put bills on the table and pull out the stops helping republicans self-demonize, and we’ll have a healthier culture and economy. We will also eventually wind up in a place where more republican “leaders” are in prison where they belong than in office where they clearly don’t.

Republicans have no counter proposals to anything in Biden’s agenda because Democrats have taken all the best ideas and the alternatives available to the republicans are all clearly worse.

It’s why one after another republicans keep running away.
