The administration just working to finish where the shooter left off

isn't ICE refusing orders from the Biden admin to stop deporting people?

E: yeah, ICE needs to be abolished: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/biden-deportation-moratorium-immigration-advocates-ice-non-compliance

The idea that our government in its current form can "walk and chew bubblegum at the same time" is a loving joke and it's still only January. Congress is busy slap fighting in the halls and focusing on the impeachment that while it should happen is clearly eclipsing pretty much anything else they have going on.

Joe himself gassed himself after like a day and a half on the job and yeah focusing on COVID is important, and rolling out the vaccine is going to take a lot of time and effort but he sure as hell isn't exactly doing a great job juggling other issues. I'm still somewhat giving him the benefit of the doubt that best case scenario the Trump administration left them with a mess and the scraps of a plan while most likely scenario actively hampered anything they had going when the writing was on the wall.

It's just disheartening as gently caress to have the presidency, house and senate and then absolutely piss it away.

We had this exact discussion before and came out of it acknowledging that the Dems massively hosed up their messaging after passing a literal amendment to a bill increasing 600 to 1400, that this was entirely their fault, that a 2,000 check would be the right course of action based on their fuckup on messaging, and that a one-time payment is still not enough to alleviate the damage.

And now Acebuckeye is getting called a lovely neolib for posting a literal timeline of events.

Oh my days.

In non-poo poo news, my old man is getting his second vaccination shot next week (hopefully), I'm slowly settling into the new responsibilities of my job, the days are getting longer, and we may actually get a grip on this pandemic by the summer.

I'm honestly feeling a hint of hope for the near future, and it's a somewhat alien feeling, to be perfectly honest.

Yo what's the new job

It does, but you can always claim you “didn’t get the official notice to stop” and “need to develop new procedures” at the working levels for a good week or two after.

It ain't great but it also smacks of the same Republican bad faith messaging that the Biden administration hasn't fixed everything in the world in the last 10 days.

I'm sure I'll have plenty of things to be mad about later but for now I am giving it my patience.

Last I checked a judge granted an injunction pausing Biden's order to halt deportations, not sure what the current status of the lawsuit is.

Other countries have monthly covid checks but keep acting as if we don't know how to count to 2000 all while ignoring the fact that there is a huge difference between getting 2k all at once and getting 600 and then months later the remaining 1400.

To be fair, other countries get to spend more on their people because they're not spending $500-750b+ a year on feeding the Beast With A Billion Mouths.

Too many, but i know GW Bush is responsible for at least 2,958 dead civilians.

LBJ was the G.O.A.T of weaponizing other men's daddy issues. Whether shamelessly ingratiating himself to old, childless power brokers by playing the son they never had or actively seeking to hire staffers from abusive families who wouldn't complain about his demands to take letters while he poo poo with the door open, he truly mastered the craft.

Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?
So having finally had the time to sit down behind a computer and not a phone and catch up on this thread, I want to say a couple things.

First, mod hat off.

Looks like "libs will get complacent after Biden wins and not actually do anything to hold his feet to the fire to keep him from reneging and/or going right" ended up being absolutely loving spot on. "$1400 on top of the $600 is absolutely what was promised and they're not going back on their word a bloo bloo bloo" is tiresome and, frankly, bullshit and I don't know what the gently caress. If you want to pretend that they didn't explicitly promise $2000 checks then you absolutely deserve what's coming down the pipeline when the Democrats roll over and capitulate to the goddamned minority party.

Mod hat on.

All I loving ask for is a place where people can disagree without being assholes about it. That's it. I'm not saying we have to like each other, or even that we even have to hear everyone out. Just don't be an rear end in a top hat.

I declare January to be over. Please wait until midnight Eastern time before starting a new thread.
