Joe gets it done…

Well…I’m still laughing at the “freedom caucus” repubs in the House who were willing to burn down the world economy thinking they had absolute power to control what bills come out of the House….but, as of yesterday, the senate passed the debt ceiling bill that the dems helped get out of the house and even with the bomb throwers all voting against it, Joe will be signing it into law…taking away all of the idiot’s power until 2025…and with that, I think Joe Biden’s is one of the most consequential in my lifetime and this is just his first term…if we all get out to vote in 24, we can keep the senate, take back the house, and then get on to governing for the people of this country, not just for the rich and corporations…we can expand SS and Medicare, we can restore the tax rates that taxed billionaires at 50%, and we can fix the corrupt Supreme Court…good goals to have and tell everyone about so they will understand the stakes…geez…

Joe’s a winner…

Well…it seems like it’s a good thing to have someone who understands politics being president…especially after the doom and gloom of the debt ceiling deal and the “freedom” caucus howling that they were going to crash the economy since they hated that Joe only gave a little to get the deal and now they lose their shiny toy of debt ceiling extortion until after the 2024 election.The bill was voted out of committee this morning and it is heading toward a full house vote this afternoon and, since a lot of dems are going to vote for it, the bomb throwing repubs can’t do a damn thing about it…I really do hope they keep underestimating Joe…and he will continue to deliver for the American people…if this is a person with “severe cognitive decline”, I sure hope I’m that sharp when I’m 80….good job, Joe…

Lefties, quit whining…

Well…with the deal that Joe Biden made to keep the world’s economy from crashing with the hostage taking repubs, the left has started whining that he should have let them crash it…that compromising at all with the repubs is the wrong thing to do…and all I have to say is stop…stop your darn whining about how politics is supposed to work…Joe still got a pretty good deal and remember that in 2024, we can get rid of everything that Joe had to compromise about…if we all pull together and take back the House and hold the Senate…and again, the righties are howling about the deal so they didn’t get what they wanted, either…at least not all of it so let’s just give Joe the benefit of the doubt…hasn’t he done a lot already? Yes he has…so give him credit and a chance….geez…

A deal on the debt?

Well…it the news reports are correct, it looks like deal on the debt ceiling has been reached…and to hear the hard right whine and cry, it looks like it’s not a bad one other than work requirements for food stamps and Medicaid…it’s going to give us two years of breathing room since it pushes the next battle all the way to 2024…I haven’t read much about it yet but I do know that if it is done, my SS is going to keep coming and that is a good thing…I’ll come back later when I read about it…
