    Trump is gone and the world didnt end
    Ok so time has allowed the smoke to blow away, but as the level of rhetoric has died down, normality has returned and the great ego, the wizard behind the curtain is no longer heard shouting i am the great and powerful

    Tell you what, from my perspective it is good to know that rational people are in charge even though i may not agree with every thing they say

    rational people like elitist JFKerry who said that pipeline workers who lose their job because of Quid's decision to stop the Keystone pipeline should “go to work to make the solar panels.”

    "At least seven people were in custody late Sunday after homeless activists, some reportedly armed with hatchets and knives, "forcibly" occupied the lobby and 17 rooms at the Red Lion Hotel in Olympia, Wash, according to officials.

    The activists were with a group calling itself Oly Housing Now. They occupied the hotel in an apparent takeover attempt to demand pandemic housing, reports said."

    Tragically, this group was not associated with Donald Trump, so liberal dems are expected to yawn no more loudly than they typically do. President What's His Name is not likely to comment unless instructed to by Ms. Pelosi.

    Madam Mim ,Schmucky ,and Quid have erected a 3.2 mile fence with razor wire around the Capitol building, guarded by 7,000 armed troops . Not bad for the party that doesn't like walls fences or guns .

    They don't like fences unless, of course, the fences are there to protect THEM.

    or even better... VP Harris says that workers who lose their job in West Virginia can work reclaiming abandoned land mines .

    Quote:

    We asked Harris about plans for retraining of those workers, something people have heard before with little follow through.
    “All of those skilled workers who are in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with reclaiming abandoned land mines; what we need to do around plugging leaks from oil and gas wells; and, transferring those important skills to the work that has yet to be done that needs to get done,” the vice president said.

    And people said she didn't know anything about the economy!

    I hope she meant "land mines" in some way other than the explosive variety.

    In other news, we have another major win for liberal dems. "Oregon mayor slams ‘culture of criminality’ in Portland amid riots: ‘This is defund the police.’" I'm sure they'll figure out some way to blame Trump for this.

    Seriously, people tolerating this craziness is a never ending source of amazement to me. Pretty sure it's going to turn out that Revelation was not code after all.

    Exactly correct. The problem is that his surrogates like Kerry are going about the country suggesting otherwise.

    And what part of capping abandon wells and fixing leaks is it that confuses you?

    Abandoned land mines disguised language for abandoned wells of which there will be many more

    You don't reclaim abandoned wells. You simply cap them. So that would leave the other 99% of laid off miners looking for work.

    Probably help to know the difference between miners and oil and gas workers.

    Key Dem Senator Joe Manchin is not happy with VP Harris .

    'We need to work together': Manchin blasts Harris' TV hit on Covid relief - POLITICO

    A bipartisan group of 10 Senators that he is a part of met with Quid yesterday to hash out a compromise bill . But Quid is beholden to the radicals in the party ;and Schmucky and Madam Mim are hell bent to ram their version of covid relief down our throats with the use of the reconciliation card.

    Hardly bipartisan, and their opening bid is a 3rd of what Joe and dems want. Repubs are good at shoving stuff down throats. When it comes to stocking the markets repubs are great, when it comes to main street...different story. Even the repub governor of Marcin's WVA agrees with Joe on this one. He ain't the only repub either.

    Joe has seen this stall tactic before.

    OOPS sorry Tom, missed this meeting...too much Netflix...

    Looks like dems hope for the best, but plan for the worst which ain't a bad idea given history and current events.

    So you would prefer that people can't put food on the table and provide help in many areas? All for squeezing the people to serve a failed ideology?

    They are wanting to spend nearly 2 tril in order to send perhaps 400 bil to the folks. So we are going to borrow about 3K for every man, woman, and child in America in order to send most people a check for 1500K.

    Yes. That's a great idea. I guess we can use the extra to fund more studies of trans gender people overseas.
