I see you're dressed for the occasion
Folded like a cheap shirt. There's some stuff in this bill that further wages war against fossil fuels, read coal. You know, the corner stone of West Virginia's economy.

Unless there's actually existing SCOTUS precedent affirmatively stating that clause doesn't mean what it literally says, it would be a bad idea to try it, since that would be excellent grounds for a legal challenge. in any case, the language is incorporated into the text of the 12th Amendment, meaning that any true originalist would need to interpret that the drafters of the 12th Amendment intended to keep the one from each state requirement.It's not a real rule so no problem
America 101: Can the president and vice president be from the same state?
There are many misconceptions about the rules of a president choosing their running mate. There’s no law or regulation against a president and vice president ofwww.history.com
Do you consider quoting rap lyrics and saying nigga to be racist?

According to the Biden admin, they’re wagging a mongoose, not a dog. C’mon man, get with the program you bigot.

There's a former Cuomo staffer who was killed in Delaware. Should we add him to the Clinton Body count club?

He angled to get a bunch of graft for his real constituents. I don't know why people like him. Clearly a sleazeball, Lisa Murkowski with a smaller dick.

Congress OKs bill to aid computer chip firms, counter China
The House on Thursday passed a $280 billion package to boost the semiconductor industry and scientific research in a bid to create more high-tech jobs in the United States and help it better compete with international rivals, namely China.
The House approved the bill by a solid margin of 243-187, sending the measure to President Joe Biden to be signed into law and providing the White House with a major domestic policy victory. Twenty-four Republicans voted for the legislation.
“Today, the House passed a bill that will make cars cheaper, appliances cheaper, and computers cheaper," Biden said. “It will lower the costs of every day goods. And it will create high-paying manufacturing jobs across the country and strengthen U.S. leadership in the industries of the future at the same time."
As the vote was taking place, Biden was discussing the economy with CEOs at the White House. During the event, he was handed a note informing him it was clear the bill would pass - a development that produced a round of applause before the tally was final.
Republicans argued the government should not spend billions to subsidize the semiconductor industry and GOP leadership in the House recommended a vote against the bill, telling members the plan would provide enormous subsidies and tax credits "to a specific industry that does not need additional government handouts.”
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., said the way to help the industry would be through tax cuts and easing federal regulations, “not by picking winners and losers” with subsidies - an approach that Rep. Joseph Morelle, D-N.Y., said was too narrow.
“This affects every industry in the United States," Morelle said. “Take, for example, General Motors announcing they have 95,000 automobiles awaiting chips. So, you want to increase the supply of goods to people and help bring down inflation? This is about increasing the supply of goods all over the United States in every single industry.”
Some Republicans viewed passing the legislation as important for national security. Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said it was critical to protect semiconductor capacity in the U.S. and that the country was too reliant on Taiwan for the most advanced chips. That could prove to be a major vulnerability should China try to take over the self-governing island that Beijing views as a breakaway province
“I've got a unique insight in this. I get the classified briefing. Not all these members do," McCaul said. “This is vitally important for our national security."
The bill provides more than $52 billion in grants and other incentives for the semiconductor industry as well as a 25% tax credit for those companies that invest in chip plants in the U.S. It calls for increased spending on various research programs that would total about $200 billion over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
The CBO also projected that the bill would increase deficits by about $79 billion over the coming decade.
A late development in the Senate - progress announced by Wednesday night by Democrats on a $739 billion health and climate change package - threatened to make it harder for supporters to get the semiconductor bill over the finish line, based on concerns about government spending that GOP lawmakers said would fuel inflation.
Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., said he was “disgusted" by the turn of events.
Despite bipartisan support for the research initiatives, “regrettably, and it's more regrettably than you can possibly imagine, I will not be casting my vote for the CHIPS and Science Act today," Lucas said.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, likened the bill's spending to “corporate welfare to be handed out to whoever President Biden wants."
Leading into the vote, it was unclear whether any House Democrats would join with Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in voting against the bill; in the end, none did.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo talked to several of the most progressive members of the Democratic caucus in a meeting before the vote, emphasizing that the proposal was a critical part of the president's agenda and that Democrats needed to step up for him at this important moment.
Some Republicans criticized the bill as not tough enough on China, and GOP leaders emphasized that point in recommending a “no” vote. Their guidance acknowledged the threat China poses to supply chains in the U.S., but said the package "will not effectively address that important challenge."
But, as McCaul pointed out, China opposed the measure and worked against it. The bill includes a provision that prohibits any semiconductor company receiving financial help through the bill from supporting the manufacture of advanced chips in China.
Zhao Lijian, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, commenting before the House vote, said the U.S. “should not put in place obstacles for normal science, technology and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation” and "still less should it take away or undermine China’s legitimate rights to development.”

They fix the cable?
Seriously though it is kind of amazing how breathtakingly bad the DNC is at what they are doing.
It always amuses me to hear people who have nothing, have built nothing, and do almost nothing that contributes to the world say The rich should pay their fair share. The rich pay their share and your share already and they are kind of tired of it.
2008 was largely caused by Bill Clinton. Pick up a book instead of your phone. The Community Reinvestment Act was a primary factor in the real estate bubble. People can blame the banks all they want but you cannot point a pig to a trough and encourage it to gorge then get mad at the pig when it vomits all over your country.
The state of the economy right now is 100% the fault of the DNC and people who allowed the DNC to do whatever they wanted in the name of safety and people are so fucking dumb they will do it again and again and again until they are plowing a field with stone tools because some donkey looking moron told them it was the way to be on the right side of history.

Fucking bitch. The point of the game is to show that we can at least play a gay-ass game together.
Also 10-0? Get fucked. The R team is probably at least 10 years older on average.

Did you see the fat ass woman that they made a pinch runner? Diversity hires in action.
