Not to be lost in all this: Biden's DoJ had all this info. If they really wanted to go after Trump, they could have released it. I'm sure some will say they should have. I say they played it straight like DoJ used to do.

What else is in the "clean CR" that we have yet to hear about?

Okay, we learned today that the "clean CR" included a provision to line GOP senator's pockets.

What else is in this "clean CR" that we don't know about?

He has already claimed that their breakup was about Epstein recruiting his girls. This pretty much completes the circle

Lest we forget: Texas is stalling on two special elections they are concerned will elect Democrats

This is their "clean CR".

Once he started claiming the Dems made it up, it was clear that the contents were really bad.

I miss the days when there was no web, and to use the Internet you had to be willing to learn the commands.

Now a days, you just point and click and screw up the day of many many people.

Making this about old vs. young is just another manifestation of the Democratic party's tendency to rip itself apart.

Ha, ha this fool thinks he has to look to DC to see who's screwing him. It's the boss owner of that mine he works in, right there in his backyard, the one he thanks for his job.

So much for a โ€œclean CRโ€. I guess they duck the โ€œex post factoโ€ clause by making it civil not criminal (which theyโ€™re doing more and more - see Texas abortion laws).

I mean, all the insurance companies need to do is run "School House Rock" level ads to explain how insurance works.

I don't understand why they've decided to go to war against the insurance companies. Is that a (deep pocketed) bear they really want to poke?

Yeah, real good. Right after your Dr. tells you you're suffering from kidney failure you can immediately move to a negotiation of how much your dialysis will cost for the rest of your life.

Again, he tries to say it's "National Security" because he knows if he can make it about security instead of trade, he wins.

I don't care why they voted "no", only that they did, just like I don't care about the BS excuses from the Quislings who voted "yes", only that they did.

We did get inflation (which we were getting under control), but we got jobs and pay increases. What has Trump's inflation gotten us?

But this SCOTUS will say "You can't tell the 'Unitary Executive' he can't take payments. If you think he violated the constitution, you can always impeach him."

I agree that Schumer needs to be primaried. I don't think AOC can win statewide in NY

Ahead of Veterans Day, I was honored to welcome a flight of veterans and their families as they arrived in DC.

This is a big deal that spells bad news for the "Five I's" intelligence sharing agreements.

He knew that he was taking a "novel" position on the use of the law, and knew it was risky.

And meanwhile Trump and company do everything they can to make sure the US is a laggard, even threatening other counties who sign on to renewables.

A real president does this.

Normally, some conservative donor would step up to bail her out, but since the money will go to a gay couple, Iโ€™m sure theyโ€™d rather have her go bankrupt

He calls it a National Security Eventโ€ to try to move the argument from โ€œtradeโ€ (where his argument is weak) into the National Security arena where the president has broad sway

The ones who caved don't understand the damage they've done: In January the GOP will load that bill up with poison pills and dare the pussy Dems to vote against it, knowing they certainly won't do another shutdown. They've blown their leverage for the duration of this congress.
