Title: Here's a shock... but is it going to happen...
Post by: K Frame on March 01, 2021, 09:23:32 PM

The far left of the Democratic Party is pressuring the President of the Senate to ignore the non-partisan parliamentarian's ruling on the $15-an-hour minimum wage and keep it in the Senate's version of the Kung Flu bill.

That's not happened since 1975.

The more conservative side of the Democratic Party, including Joe Manchin, are apparently pushing back hard against this step.

Where's my shocked face? Oh yeah, I tossed it out years ago.

I am a little shocked that in the articles I've read so far "The Squawkers," er... Squad, hasn't been front and center.

Sometimes, your enemies go right ahead and sign their names to the accountability roster,  as if it were a guestbook at a wedding.

Burn it down.  Past fixing anyway, and now we know who to blame.
