Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

that didnt happen, though. he didn't get it done, so there is no reason to believe the effort was genuine.
Man... why are y'all making me defend the Democrats I don't even like most of them
Biden: Marijuana legalization bill passes house, blocked by Republicans in senate, anyone in federal prison for possession is pardoned and free
Biden: Loan forgiveness order is completed, then blocked by Supreme Court, $138 billion in forgiveness comes anyway through a separate executive order
Biden: Manchin blocks half-trillion-dollar climate legislation, replacement legislation comes all the way to a signed bill and takes effect expected to produce 40% reduction in emissions by 2030, short of Biden's original effort but still expected to cut 2 billion tons per year out of our carbon emissions
You: WAAAAAA NOT GENUINE EFFORT, THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS TRUMP, THIS ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH
you don't have to. i watch liberals lie about republicans dozens of times every day, actual, flat out lies, and i rarely say anything. because republicans suck, too.
i never said this. it's a strawman.
You never said "exactly the same as Trump"; that was exaggeration on my part and maybe unfair. The rest of it you absolutely said and I stand behind my characterization of how much sense it makes.
i also didn't waaaaaa. i'm cool as a cucumber over here pointing out the inadequacy of politicians.
It's like when I get stuck in traffic, but I'm on the clock, so I'm not bothered by it.
did this go to the right place?
Getting lost also does not bug me when I'm on the clock.
i think you got this thread mixed up with another
They're saying you're clearly on the clock right now
I am, but don't tell my boss. he thinks I'm working.
trump actually got the first step act through both houses. it seems to me that if biden wanted to do it, he would have. instead, he didn't.
What on earth are you talking about
this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Step_Act
seems to me, if biden wanted to do it, he would have. i don't believe the supreme court can block it, since they don't have an enforcement arm.
I'm gonna exit this conversation now
This guy is a Russian shill, don't try to discuss in good faith.
bye
