Let's pretend for one moment that he does die before the election, just for the funsies. What happens then? Will the nomination revert to option number 2, aka Bernie Sanders? Or will his running mate automatically replace him just the way Vice-President is supposted to step in after the Big Man in the White House chokes on a piece of matzo? Does he even have a running mate yet?

How hard do you have to huff your own farts to think this sounds like paradise that all Americans want? I thought "cradle-to-grave government coddling" was GOP hyperbole, but here's DNC propaganda trumpeting it proudly.

Fucking clown world.



Rep Jayapal has become unintentionally based. She makes Biden look like an even bigger limpdick bitch than I thought possible.
 
To be fair, in a Democratic world, yes there would be no husbands or fathers. The left is flat out destroying the "traditional family" now, or at least trying to make the traditional family an element of "white culture."
Not going to work. The left may destroy leftist "traditional families", but the vast majority will be just fine.

Biden announces deal, seeks votes: 'Let's get this done'

President Joe Biden declared Thursday he has reached a “historic economic framework” with Democrats in Congress on his sweeping domestic policy package, a hard-fought yet dramatically scaled-back deal announced just before he departs for overseas summits.

Biden's remarks at the White House came after he traveled to Capitol Hill to make the case to House Democrats for the still robust domestic package - $1.75 trillion of social services and climate change programs the White House believes can pass the 50-50 Senate.

“It will fundamentally change the lives of millions of people for the better,” Biden said at the White House. “Let's get this done.”

Together with a nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill heading for final votes possibly as soon as Thursday, Biden claimed a domestic achievement modeled on those of Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson.

“I need your votes,” Biden told the lawmakers earlier, according to a person who requested anonymity to discuss the private remarks.

Biden was eager to have a deal in hand before departing later in the day for global summits. But the revised package has l ost some of the Democrats' top priorities as the president’s ambitions make way for the political realities of the narrowly divided Congress.

Paid family leave and efforts to lower prescription drug pricing are now gone entirely from the package, drawing outrage from some lawmakers and advocacy groups.

Still in the mix, a long list of other priorities: Free prekindergarten for all youngsters, expanded health care programs - including the launch of a $35 billion new hearing aid benefit for people with Medicare - and $555 billion to tackle climate change.

There's also a one-year extension of a child care tax credit that was put in place during the COVID-19 rescue and new child care subsidies. An additional $100 billion to bolster the immigration and border processing system could boost the overall package to $1.85 trillion if it clears Senate rules.

With support for even the narrowed package still an issue, Biden said as he left the Capitol, “I think we’re going to be in good shape.”

At least one pivotal holdout, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., struck a similar tone: “I look forward to getting this done.”
However, another holdout, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., was less committal: “This is all in the hands of the House right now."

Taking form after months of negotiations, Biden's emerging bill would still be among the most sweeping of its kind in a generation, modeled on New Deal and Great Society programs. The White House calls it the largest-ever investment in climate change and the biggest improvement to the nation’s healthcare system in more than a decade.

In his meeting with lawmakers at the Capitol, Biden said he wanted progress in hand when he arrives in Rome for a global summit to show world leaders, including those in Russia and China, that democracies still work, according to those attending the private meeting.

“We are at an inflection point,” Biden said. “The rest of the world wonders whether we can function.”

And he said it’s not “hyperbole to say that the House and Senate majorities and my presidency will be determined by what happens in the next week.”

At one point, Biden “asked for a spirited enthusiastic vote on his plan,” said Rep. Richard Neal, D-Mass.

Twice over the course of the hour-long meeting Democratic lawmakers rose to their feet and started yelling: “Vote, vote, vote,” said Rep. Gerald Connolly of Virginia.

Biden’s proposal would be paid for by imposing a new 5% surtax on income over $10 million a year and instituting a new 15% corporate minimum tax, keeping with his plans to have no new taxes on those earning less than $400,000 a year, officials said.

Revenue to help pay for the package would also come from rolling back some of the Trump administration’s 2017 tax cuts, along with stepped-up enforcement of tax-dodgers by the IRS. Biden has vowed to cover the entire cost of the plan, ensuring it does not pile onto the debt load.

But the framework is not yet the full legislative text, which lawmakers and aides cautioned has not yet been agreed to by the lawmakers.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the progressive caucus leader, said unveiling the new framework “will show tremendous momentum. But we want to see the actual text because we don’t want any confusion and misunderstandings.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Biden asked the House to vote Thursday. Pending was the related $1 trillion infrastructure bill that already cleared the Senate but became tangled in deliberations over the broader bill.

Progressives have been withholding their support for the smaller bipartisan infrastructure bill as leverage until they have a commitment on an agreement for the broader Biden package they prefer. That separate $1 trillion infrastructure bill of road, broadband and other public works projects faces a Sunday deadline for a vote, when routine transportation funds risk expiring.

"When the president gets off that plane we want him to have a vote of confidence from this Congress,” Pelosi told lawmakers, the person said.

In the divided Senate, Biden needs all Democrats’ support with no votes to spare. The House is also split with just a few vote margin.

Two key Democratic holdouts, Manchin and Sinema, have almost single-handedly reduced the size and scope of their party’s big vision.

Sinema has been instrumental in pushing her party off a promise to undo the Republicans' 2017 tax cuts, forcing Democrats to take a different approach from simply raising top rates on individuals and corporations.

And Manchin's resistance to government programs forced serious cutbacks to a clean energy plan and the outright elimination of paid family leave. His insisted there be work requirements for parents receiving the new child care subsidies.

The two Democratic senators who now hold enormous power, essentially deciding whether or not Biden will be able to deliver on the Democrats’ major campaign promises.

At the same time, progressives achieved one key priority - Vermont Independent Bernie Sanders' proposal to provide hearing aid benefits for people on Medicare. However, his ideas to also include dental and vision care were left out.

Other expanded health care programs build on the Affordable Care Act by funding subsidies to help people buy insurance policies and coverage in states that declined the Obamacare program.

Overall, the new package also sets up political battles in future years. Much of the health care funding will expire in 2025, ensuring a campaign issue ahead of the next presidential election. The child care tax credit expires alongside next year's midterm elections, when control of Congress will be determined.

Despite a series of deadlines, Democrats have been unable to close the deal among themselves, and Republicans overwhelmingly oppose the package. At best, Democrats could send Biden overseas with a deal in hand and unlock the process while the final details were sewn up.

Pelosi Pulls Trigger - Dares Progressives To Nuke Infrastructure Package With Thursday Vote​

(article)
Update (1257ET): Challenge accepted...

House progressives have too many "No" votes to pass the infrastructure package, according to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), sentiment echoed by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Will Pelosi - who said she'd never hold a vote that won't pass - cancel?

* * *

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is about to test whether progressive Democrats are full of hot air over their threat to nuke the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package unless it's paired with the yet-to-be finalized social spending package - which the White House capped at $1.75 trillion earlier Thursday.

If House progressives cave and pass the infrastructure package without the already-gutted 'Build Back Better' Act, they'll give up whatever leverage they thought they had (and obviously don't) towards achieving their spending goals.

Biden, meanwhile, said on Thursday that "We badly need a vote on both of these measures," adding "I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say that the House and Senate majorities and my presidency will be determined by what happens in the next week."

According to The Hill, Pelosi insists she's "going to hold the vote open until we get a majority," which - at least as of last night, didn't seem within the realm of possibility based on Wednesday night statements by House progressive leaders.

Top progressives maintained Thursday that they still wanted legislative text for the social spending package before they’d feel comfortable backing the bipartisan infrastructure bill.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the Congressional Progressive Caucus leader, planned to survey the 94 other members in her caucus but predicted that they’d need something more concrete than the White House framework.
We have had a position of needing to see the legislative text and voting on both bills. And we'll see where people are, but I think a lot of people are still in that place,” Jayapal told reporters after the meeting with Biden. -The Hill

"I’m still gonna be a ‘hell no’ [on infrastructure] unless I see both move," said Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), a member of the progressive Squad, after the meeting.

Yet, despite the above, Pelosi thinks she can convince House Democrats to give Biden a victory as he embarks on a Thursday trip to Europe where he will address the G20 and global climate summit in Glasgow.

"When the president gets off that plane we want him to have a vote of confidence from this Congress," Pelosi reportedly said according to a source from the meeting.

"In order for us to have success, we must succeed today."

She’s called down the thunder. Now we’ll see if she gets it.

I will add that “calling” for this vote without knowing in advance how it’s going to go is the height of stupidity. Either she knows the votes are there and this is all theater, or she’s even stupider than I thought.

It would appear she's attempting to strongarm. She's going full Matriarch, arms crossed, staring down her nose at the unruly youngsters. It's a bold move and that appears to be the point. Internally they are obviously aware that all the hemming and hawing as well as gutting is just one of a plethora things destroying confidence in the admin to get anything of substance done. They are desperate to be able to boast some kind of progress/success they can inject into the headlines.

It’s a bold move indeed but I recall she’s pretended to go ahead with a vote and then cancelled it at the last moment once previously. What’s to say she doesn’t do it again?

She very well might. If the votes aren’t there, cancelling will look bad enough, (though the propagandists can explain that away and then just stop talking about it), but holding the vote and it not going her way results in a defacto vote of “No Confidence” in the Admin. That’s why I can’t believe she’d make such a “bold move” if she wasn’t assured in advance of the outcome.

Quite true. We're heading into the weekend, so this could just be performative and will be memory-holed start of next week with a new narrative. Seems to be a pivot towards muh climate crisis. Guess we'll see.

Didn't the dinosaurs die form a asteroid. What does that have to do with climate change?
Yes, an asteroid. But you have to scratch the surface to see the intended meaning of the dinosaur. Supposedly, fossil fuels are the remains of cooked/pressured dinosaurs. So the future and climate change DEMANDS no more fossil fuels. After all, they're not green like windmills and solar and such. So indeed, fossil fuels will become dinosaurs - once again extinct.

At least that's Slappy's hot take on it.
 
The manufacturing job is such an obvious play to give the everywoman character a blue-collar appeal while avoiding the risk of being called sexist if she were to have a profession that's more typical of working-class women, such as a restaurant waitress.

Union job? unions as a whole are in decline, with wildcat strikes because union reps aren't doing shit for the union and lack of union membership because unions can suck. community college is already pretty cheap but the education is pretty shit. anyway, some/most private unis don't accept cc credits so not much is going to change til that policy changes.

This is Dog-O-Tron. He had to take out loans he needed to pay back to go to college. He got his own job, and will support his mother when she's old on his own. He's paying for Leo with his taxes and he didn't even get to have the 5 minutes of pleasure in the back of a 2002 Honda Accord with Linda that Leo's father Julio got.

the "women who take welfare pay it back by fucking incels" policy would probably work out. it'd certainly give the most likely shooters some self- confidence to not shoot anyone.
