QAnon Leader Karen McCarthy flaps like a turkey. |
The shenanigans of House Republicans have not stopped the Democrats top domestic policies.
They House passed the $1.75 trillion bill that funds many of President Joe Biden's top priorities.
With the passage of the bill, the House Democrats now face an uphill climb with their push to get two fucking Democratic senators to get on board.
After concluding a nearly nine hour rant, QAnon leader Karen McCarthy (R-CA) complained about the bill and how "reckless" spending led to inflation and whatever the fuck he was crying about.
One Democrat voted against the bill. Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) will face the heat when he goes back home like the Squad. The president hosted the members who voted for his bipartisan package at an event in Detroit. He had them flown on Air Force One. Only one member, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was not included in the flight. She was snubbed from the flight because she voted with five other Democrats against the bill. However, she did attend the event and got a shout out by Biden. Despite the tension between Biden and the Squad, he's willing to work with these polarizing Democratic lawmakers.
The package will be looked at by Democrats in the senate before they pass it on reconciliation. That will require the 48 Democratic senators, two independents and Vice President Kamala Harris to pass it without any of the obstructionists in the Republican Party.
The package will include universal preschool, capping childcare cost at 7%, four weeks of paid leave, a year of expanding the Child Tax Credits, extending the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) subsidies, giving more benefits for Medicare, lowering insulin under Medicare, combat climate change, and raising the SALT (state and local tax) deduction limit from $10,000 to $80,000.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), the Majority Whip had got the ball rolling on getting Democrats to finally get the bipartisan bill passed. The Congressional Black Caucus had pressured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to stop catering to the far-left and the Squad. After the loss in Virginia and barely winning New Jersey, the Democrats had to scramble to pass something or face potential defeat in 2022.
Especially with the two stubborn Karens in the Democratic senate majority reluctance in ending the filibuster. Given that the Republicans have filibustered the For The People's Act and the John Lewis Voting Act, the Democrats are faced with a potential for Republicans to retake the House. Their failure to pass the voting rights laws have led to the Republicans continuing their "big lie" and partisan redistricting.
Biden has suffered in the polls because of the failures to pass legislation. He and Democrats have rebound the economy but due to the Republicans and their constant culture wars, we're more distracted with "woke," "socialism," "cancel culture," and "Big Bird."
Over 800,000 Americans are dead from the coronavirus. Yet, this is what the country is worried about!
We're one more step from accomplishing Build Back Better. |
Yes, we're dealing with inflation. Yes, we're dealing with staffing shortages. Yes, we are more divided than ever. Yes, we have racial angst towards one another given there's two high profile trials in Wisconsin and Georgia in which the possible of white men walking and victims of violence being denied justice.
Biden was elected to bring the country's temperature down. If we continue to listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Karen Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Karen Sinema (D-AZ), we would be defeated in the Midterms.
We need lawmakers like Rep. Shontel Brown (D-OH), Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-IL), Rep. Nikema Williams (D-GA), Rep. Sharice Davids (D-KS), Rep. Michael San Nicolas (D-GU) and Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI). They actually work for their voters. San Nicolas and Plaskett may be non-voting lawmakers on floor, but they have been in the forefront of explaining to the Americans the Build Back Better package. That's why I keep hoping that the Congress pass legislation that allow U.S. territories like Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands the rights to vote in the 2024 presidential elections.
One more road to cross and we're hoping Manchin saw the Congressional Budget Office score which sees the package doesn't add to the debt. But we await another stupid excuse from the West Virginia senator.
