The Biden Administration

[Crumb]

Steve McQueen?

Let’s see how fast the fact checking hero goes to most hated:

The sixth and seventh: Biden said community health centers were being sent 1M doses a week; it’s actually 1M over a longer period, however long the first “phase” of the program is. And Biden said a controversial tax break for racehorse owners costs $9B; that’s not close to true.

The lack of federal stimulus checks, the continuation of I.C.E, universal health care not being taken up, no federal minimum wage at $15 an hour (which is still less with inflation then people were making in the 1960s) and student loans continuing to be a weight on US citizens, is not surprising (hey, Democrats are still capitalists).

Not keeping up with any of those promises will certainly be a problem going forward.

Not that I'm surprised.

2010 all over again in 2022, then it’ll be nothing but one bullshit fake impeachment after another in between tax cut bills.

I'm getting the impression the Biden administration is still ... American.

They need to stop piddlefarting around with the Minimum wage thing. It needs to happen, but it needs to be done on its own merits. They need to stop making it a rider on other bills.
They need to move on with immigration reform, too.
And the health care problem. Focus on those three things, and get at least one of them done before the frigging Rethuglicans have an opportunity to shift back into power.
Failing that, we are fucking doomed.

Isn't every bill in the US of A a massive Frankenstein's monster of unrelated bits?

Not all of them. But that has become more the rule than the exception.

The United States firmly opposes an @IntlCrimCourt investigation into the Palestinian Situation. We will continue to uphold our strong commitment to Israel and its security, including by opposing actions that seek to target Israel unfairly.
