Imagine voting against covid relief and $15 minimum wage.
Racists don’t care. They will slit their own throats if they think it will hurt a Black person
I really believe people think it'll be $15 as soon as the ink dries . The fed min wage was just under $3 in 1979. That same wage equates to $10 and some change in todays dollars.
The GOP in congress knows what is in the bill, and that it is a gradual increase, but they are framing it as doubling the minimum wage during a pandemic. It's a talking point.
What will it take to get Biden's nominations for the USPS Board of Governors confirmed? In other words can the GOP block the confirmations? I ask because it they can, they will.While DeJoy was gloating 'Get used to me' in hearing, Biden was engineering his ouster

In Wednesday's congressional hearing, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy brought his usual brash, bullying self to the table, at one point snarling at Rep. Jim Cooper that he would be in this job for "a long time. Get used to me." Within an hour of that exchange, news broke that President Biden had been vetting nominees to fill vacancies on the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) board of governors, the board that has the power to fire DeJoy.
Within another few hours the nominees were identified: Anton Hajjar, former general counsel for the American Postal Workers Union; Amber McReynolds, chief executive officer of Vote at Home, a group that pushed mail-voting in the 2020 election; and Ron Stroman, a former deputy postmaster general who was on Biden's transition team. On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki basically said DeJoy's days are soon to be over: "The Postal Service needs leadership that can and will do a better job."
I don’t think they need to be confirmed by the Senate
"The President does not have the power to remove the postmaster general. Only the Postal Service Board of Governors -- which is comprised of members nominated by the President and confirmed in the Senate -- has the power to do so, and DeJoy continues to have the support of the Trump-appointed board."
It’s a pandemic? I thought it was a democratic hoax.
Do you people even think about the shit you say? You think the president of the USA who is going to let the parliamentarian dictate the minimum wage is going to oust the postmaster general?
I remember hearing that this administration wasn’t going to fall for Republican obstructionism likethe Obama admin, but I see their cabinet isn’t even confirmed.
It must be lost on you that the party of slavers would be offended by a minimum wage hike. And then you say $10 as if labor wasn’t once was free.
Distractions. Can bomb a country thousands of miles away but will respect the parlemantarian. What a complicated fella.
Are you serious.
C'mon smh
When will the DOJ get rid of that dumb ass memo about indicting presidents?
When will the democrats get rid of the filibuster?
They passed all those corny bills last year and now silence. Will we get the reparations research bill?
To whom should we vote?Don't debate polls, vote!
I don’t believe I ever called Mitch The Grim Reaper. I always blamed The Parlementarian.
The truth is democrats are their own obstructionists.
Fuck are they planning on passing protect the trannies laws if they have no interest in signing it into law? Are they interested in stopping lynchings? Or is that all for show too?

Bye agent @xfactor
Yeah he is another agent that is in the investments thread like @blackpepper @HellBoy and @sammyjax but they’ve been getting killed this week so it has been great. I was glad to have been personally involved in the effort to wipe them out shorting $CCIV which I still haven’t closed.
Proof of your idiocy is on full display because you have absolutely no idea what investments I'm holding, my earnings loss or anything. You're just spouting completely made up bullshit and feel great about it. But, I give zero fucks what positions you're involved in. Close your legs if you want, or keep them open, wipe off, IDK!... @blackpepper @HellBoy and @sammyjax but they’ve been getting killed this week so it has been great. I was glad to have been personally involved in the effort to wipe them out shorting $CCIV which I still haven’t closed.
