Haven't been reading your blog as much as I like but filled with a lot of stuff here.

  1. I wonder if there is a hell deeper than the Ultrainferno? Super Ultrainferno lol?
  2. In this day in age its true, can't really stay neutral or won't survive. Need to pick a side. The virus has proven there is a great divide in our great nation of the United States. When we unify is when we will thrive again. I honestly on the side of wearing a mask, not because I want to give up my rights but to protect my well being.
  3. NFT and Defi are hot when in the world of crypto. This is great news for crypto as a whole as it is proving there is demand for its utilization. I am long NFT and Defi. Just started CUB Finance a couple of days ago. Wish I done it sooner.
  4. What happen to the other 90% of the donations? This is business man Trump we are talking about here, reoccurring payments. As evil as it may seem its been corporate America's way of making a ton of money. We see it in cell phone bills, monthly payments on phones, to subscriptions to tv channels or even HP printer monthly subscriptions.
  5. If I read this story correctly it means the democrats can pass a $2.2 trillion transportation bill. But can't the republicans do like a fella-buster to stop this? Bottom line spending for the country's needs was long overdue. Unfortunately past few decades spending was at things that did not benefit the country such as the wars in the middle east. My opinion is get a bill passed that is paid by the top corporations of America. S&P top companies have been profiting from the average American long enough.
  6. President Trump publicly supported Goya for Latino votes. To say he try to bad mouth Coca-Cola while drinking it is so minor relative to other things he did.
  7. Just want to mention anti-asian is really a hate against what United States stands for. Black lives matter movement is based on the premise of discriminating people of color, now it only gotten worse. How awful this is all turning out to be. On the day none of this has to be discussed is the day America is united as one. I know I am being naive but United States really succeeded in the past due to the melting pot of all ethnicity. We can not be divided because each of us look different.
  8. Really thought the Dr. Seuss ban was for real. People with those specific books really made out like bandits then. Lol got to love capitalism.
  9. Criminals stashing away what ever they please is frowned upon but corporations hiding billions away from the United States is considered acceptable. Maybe if all that money came back to the United States there would be more jobs for people to do instead of becoming criminals.
  10. I do not know a lot about Hemingway but read one of his works, Old Man and the Sea. I do not read a lot but able to speak one of his works out of tip of my tongue should be enough to say how much I like his book.
    Dang I probably wrote more here than I blogged daily lol.

You’d think so but the Senate parliamentarian recently ruled that they can basically amend the recent reconciliation again and again. This opens up the floodgates to any 50+1 legislation that has Manchin and the other Blue Dogs on board.

And it begs the question why didn’t McConnell think to try asking the parliamentarian about this when Republicans had a slim lead in the Senate?

The beauty of it is that there’s no possible SCOTUS appeal. The Constitution says nothing about a filibuster, it’s merely a Senate rule.

Basically they were in it together. Both parties made up rules to act as if congress is stuck one day and then not so much the next. I think I know why Republicans did not need the 50+1, it was because they did not intent to spend more, but it maybe all a ploy since Biden took office and the bill got pass afterwards. This made the democrats look like heroes to average Americans for getting the $1.9 trillion through. POTUS, SCOTUS... they may all be very well just manipulating the public here.
