Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
"mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.
https://twitter.com/KFILE/status/142...271285765?s=19Playbook says Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema told Chuck Schumer she wouldn’t stick around to vote on reconciliation or infrastructure bills because she has vacation plans.

She easily surpassed Manchin as the Dems biggest turd.
Nothing against anyone who voted for her in Arizona, but the Arizona Dem party needs to be overhauled. Hiw/who pushed her endorsement? Well, obviously BIG money.
"Buh dah DEMS"
This is where I have to call out Schumer as being a weak Senate Majority Leader though. I would literally tell her and anyone else in the Senate who is looking at vacation plans to keep their calendars open UNTIL a vote is made on this. This is literally her job. And if she still wants to go forward with her plans, punish her by taking away committee assignments, for example.
She's truly awful.

I'll never accuse Dem leadership of being strong, but this isn't Schumer's fault. He can't force her to do anything, and her and Manchin grow stronger every time they defy Dems. Their entire gimmick is selling themselves as "moderate" Democrats, (which in this day and age is just a pre-Palin Republican).

He may not physically force her, but I thought one of his duties as the Majority Leader is to decide which bills should be up for a vote. He can call the Senate back in session during a recess if necessary, and in this case, he should because this infrastructure is way more important than any Cancun plans she may have right now. She gives the Senate her vote, then she can go.

I hear you and wish it were that easy. Technically it is that easy, but again, her and Manchin are the defacto majority leaders because they are wild cards. This is why I try and get Dems to realize it means very little having a simple majority in Senate if there's people like Manchin and Sinema. They remove all the power from the actual majority leader because they have to be placated to get anything of substance passed, and with things like the filibuster or protecting voting rights, it may not matter.

isn't it insane that the thing that drives our economy, transportation, is so underfunded?
the total military spend including their budget, debt interest, VA, associated off "book" spending like in intelligence, etc etc is 1.2-1.4 trillion
About $4,000 per person per year
Now here is the kicker!!
the infrastructure bill is over 5 years. the deal includes $550 billion in new federal investments in America's infrastructure over five years
So we are balking at 330 ish dollars per person per year in improvements, yikes.
Sure if you go by boomers take on 1950's infrastructure. It took months for republicans to finally admit broadband was part of critical infrastructure.
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!
That is just government spending. A significant section of infrastructure is privately funded (like most of the US rail system, significant portion of the utilities, etc.).
Also, Canada and the US spend almost the exact same on infrastructure as a percentage of GDP on average.
. . . And?
Did you have a point? It's still peanuts.
Again, and?Also, Canada and the US spend almost the exact same on infrastructure as a percentage of GDP on average.
My point was you were fearmongering about entirely normal and defensible infrastructure spending, by trying to present it as "scary big number!", absent the context for said number.
