Not that interesting really

What a mess, can pick up a word here and there
Its that new kind of poetry where you can say anything and it doesn't have to rhyme.
22 years old.
Shes 23 you numpty
Like the poem tbf.
Trump style poetry.
Well that was a bit pointless.
You can do 3 actually. But that limit only exists because of a law passed by congress. The limit didn't come down on a tablet from mount sinai, all congress has to do is pass a law updating that limit or reinterpret the senate rules regarding that law. Both of which are things you can do when you control both houses and the presidency.
Not to mention that unrelated provisions are put into budget bills every single time and democrats could simply insert things they want into 1 or 2 or 3 budget bills each year.
Sounds like the previous president would've made one hell of a poet by those rules.
whoops. They referred to her a youth poet Laurette. Must be the same rules that govern FA young player of the year (fingers crossed this is Lingards year)Shes 23 you numpty
I am surprised they are ending this in a prayer with God so absent from the rest of the proceedings.
Thank feck the nightmare's over. A penny....or pence for Pence's thoughts as he's sitting there wondering what could have been.
Which gets back to the original point of Manchin being a democrat in good standing who receives powerful committee assignments and upon whom no pressure is exerted by the democratic power structure. They surely would pressure and influence and incentive Manchin if democratic leadership actually wanted to accomplish the things they say they want to accomplish.
Yeah totally fair, absolutely dreadful.
Don’t mind the Sex Pistols myself.
I was just thinking, how the feck can he sit through this and not feel anything but shame for what he has upheld and supported the past 4 years. At least Trump had the unintentional dignity of not showing his face.
Next up....Sexual Chocolate
Could possibly have junior Trump running at the next election. Bigger nightmare in waiting! Trump has created a cult like following which they will take advantage.
Pretty Vacant's the only one I can stand.
Honestly, Trump Jr will be absolutely hilarious. He’s a coked up shit for brains. The pressure of running as the leading man would absolutely break him.
And what if he says no? There is no one else that would even get close to winning a West Virginian Senate seat. Plus if you immediately abolish the filibuster you open yourselves up to criticism (no matter how unjustified) that you are not being bipartisan.
That's why Reid waited until Republicans blocked even the most straightforward judicial nominee before he removed it for non-Supreme Court judicial appointments. And yes, the Republicans got rid of it for the Supreme Court without a lot of criticism - that seems to be the hypocrisy of the left/right divide.
It would be much easier for Manchin to get on board with the removal if and when McConnell keeps blocking popular policies, but this will take some time.
I would love for it to go and for DC and Puerto Rico to become states. I just cannot see it happening.
You can only pass ONE spending budget reconciliation bill a year
From the Wiki:
Congress can pass up to three reconciliation bills per year, with each bill addressing the major topics of reconciliation: revenue, spending, and the federal debt limit. However, if Congress passes a reconciliation bill affecting more than one of those topics, it cannot pass another reconciliation bill later in the year affecting one of the topics addressed by the previous reconciliation bill.[2] In practice, reconciliation bills have usually been passed once per year at most.[15]
Also, this rule, which began as the Byrd rule, is was passed into law by 60+ votes, so I am pretty sure that amending it would require the standard 60+.
Biden's speech was all pretty words. But it is just not the real world.
Yall know free verse has been a thing since Walt Whitman, right?
Just get Lady Gaga and J-Lo in the people will love it. Classic democrats.
You must not have been listening she told us her age.
had it on mute, addressed above. Messed up by CNN's title.
Are we done now or is there any more weird pageantry to come?
Won’t it be amazing when Biden steps down and Harris is President, a black woman as President.
Indian too, will be a historic moment for a lot of members of the Caf.
He spoke well to he fair, although not exactly groundbreaking stuff. He's got a serious job in trying to unify that fractures society so it was good to hear him address that head on.
No problem. I thought it was okay myself.
Barely any social distancing going on here. If this was Trump's inauguration he would be ridiculed. I'm no fan but people really pick and choose their agendas.
Still to come. Van Jones will cry at some point.
Aren't they all wearing a mask ?
Doesn't matter I don't think. Just saw Obama pull his down so he could shout to someone.
Plus I think all the congress/Biden have been vaccinated. Not an excuse though.
So would I being subjected to David Axelrod.
