Schumer will still muster enough votes to make sure it passes and the rest can claim plausible deniability. None of them can be trusted and will betray us, again.

senators and congressmen, you have mayors and district politicians, you have state capitals.

None of them care, they are in those positions to feed the current system, a system they benefit too much from.

Voting against Trump wasnt the solution, he's a cog in the machine. Replace the cog and the machine still functions the same. Opposing and fighting the entire system will be the only way to create a difference.

No one really cares until the victims look like them. Now that it's 2 white people it's the time to care

We are literally on the last stanza of First The Came, but now is the wakeup call? Him and his party paved the way to where we are right now. The chickens have come home to roost.

He can go fuck himself.

The parliamentarian is there as an advisory position, they have no authority and Congress can choose to ignore their recommendations.

Can the Senate Ignore the Parliamentarian’s Advice? Yes. The presiding officer can choose to ignore the advice of the parliamentarian on any matter they choose, which has happened several times before.

The parliamentarian exists to advise the chamber on existing procedures, but it is the presiding officer’s duty to make rulings. However, any senator may raise a point of order challenging the ruling of the presiding officer for not following the correct procedure. The dispute would then be put to a vote of the chamber. Ultimately, senators themselves are responsible for deciding the outcome of all parliamentary questions, even if they go against standing rules and precedent.

It's nothing but more performative politics and as we get closer to midterms, this performance will ramp up even further. They're not going to impeach or remove Noem from office because they condone her actions, I doubt there's going to be a single thing that Democrats are going to roll back once they get back into power. Their ratchet effect will lock it all into place and the entire country will shift further to the right, they've been doing this for decades

In December 2012, Dr Meera Sachdeva was sentenced to 20 years in prison and ordered to repay nearly USD 8.2 million for fraud at a former Mississippi cancer centre she ran

Biden commuted the prison sentence of Meera Sachdeva, a cancer doctor who gave diluted chemo drugs to patients as part of an $8 million Medicare fraud.

Also re-used old needles, leading to a lawsuit by a patient who claimed he contracted HIV.

But would a Harris administration look significantly different than a second Trump administration? Both Biden and Harris have come under fire by the left for perpetuating not only Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, but many of his same policies.

 

The Biden administration on Friday asked an appeals court to revive a Trump-era rule that lifted remaining Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the US

 

Democratic strategist David Axelrod wrote on social media after President Biden’s Thursday night press conference that his odds of winning the presidential race this fall are “very very slim.”

Axelrod said Biden’s team “has not been very candid” with the president after Biden at the presser said no poll or person is telling him he cannot win in November.
