The Biden Presidency 2021

Quote: ams288

You actually think the GOP senators stayed and listened to the clerks read the bill?

Absolutely not. That being said, I have no fundamental disagreement with the notion of bills being read aloud before being voted upon. I would speculate that's the only chance of the bill being read (in full) at all---by anyone.

Wrong. There are ‘staffers’ who I am sure read the entire thing. Plus other ‘staffers’ who were assigned to read specific sections. Then these low level ‘staffers’ report to higher level ‘staffers’. Then the higher level ‘staffer’ will report a fact or two to the Senator, and the Senator will then vote along party lines. That’s how the system works.

If it ‘only’ took 10 hours to read aloud, probably half that for ‘staffer’ to read it in toto.

Reading specific sections is not reading the entire bill in full. Perhaps there are a handful of staffers who do read the entire thing, so I'll grant that.

I definitely agree that's how the system works; I just don't see why reading the full bill on the Senate floor is a, "Stall tactic." I understand why it's being derided as a stall tactic on this occasion, but in general, they should have to read the full bills on the respective floors.

Lets not forget the Lobby industry in DC
They probably study these bills with a microscope

Here he is yesterday, forgetting the name of his Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin. That 'outfit over there' is The Pentagon. Our President forgot the name of that too.

Then he forgot his mask. Again.

Must really suck for Republicans/Trump supporters to keep latching onto this idea that their "stable genius" got beat by a guy with dementia who has higher approval numbers than the genius ever enjoyed.

That's how terrible of a president Donald Trump was.

Well, that was faster than even I expected:

GOP politician already trying to take credit for the stimulus bill he voted against.

What a disaster and crisis dementia joe bidumb has created at the southern US border.

You know it is bad when the DHS chief requests volunteers to help at southern border and Mexico’s President is also sounding the alarm…


GREAT JOB dementia joe bidumb


Robert Gates, Obama defense secretary quote about dementia joe bidumb: “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades."

P.S. They should have left the dogs in the White House and banished dementia joe bidumb to Delaware.

President Biden will sign the COVID relief bill any moment now.

It is more popular than anything Donny did in his four pitiful years as POTUS.

Next Friday Biden and Kamala will travel to Atlanta for a victory lap highlighting the benefits of the bill (after all, without GA, there would be no bill).
