correct again, my friend. I've given this some thought. If I found myself in charge somehow, I think the first thing I'd tackle is making freedom of speech something other than a license to sell lies for profit.
THEN, I'd kill all the lawyers.

“Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas has also commented on why the effort to advance the legislation was unsuccessful. He was quoted in a Wednesday CNN article as saying that Schumer would not allow amendment votes that Republicans were pushing for.
"There was an agreement between Senator Tester and [Senator Jerry] Moran for two amendment votes when this bill passed," Cornyn said. "Senator Schumer would not allow those votes to occur. And what we're hoping for is there will be a negotiation to eliminate some of the mandatory spending in the bill and then the bill can pass.“

lol, the lefties will redefine something in a heartbeat. I'm surprised they didn't just rename it like they usually do. Maybe say we're in a 'period of heightened fiscal awareness'.
once again, Jon Stewart goes apeshit in a video bite and his adorers start soiling themselves. And once again, there's more to it than meets the eye. They never learn. I have to admit though, Jon did wave his arms around wildly and make faces a lot. I can see how the susceptible might get taken in.
LMAO.
But in all fairness to her, you never know what sort of comments might come out of the dugout to provoke such a reaction. Hell, it's baseball innit?.
I don't even know what that nebulous pile of steaming crap comment is supposed to mean. You and poopslinger don't have to put any value in polls, especially when they come out with such poor numbers for your paper tiger hero, but the fact is these polls are not simply popularity contests. Instead they are created based on successes and failures.
Deny, deny, deny.
Yeah...the other senator from Texas repeats the lie that Lyin' Ted offered...case closed. What was that about killing the lawyers? Is that before or after we trust everything they have to say regarding their involvement in government roles?
Thank you. I spent part of this morning making the same argument while bluesy and Archibald insisted there had to be something sinister about the whole thing (beyond those Republicans sticking it to our veterans). I've been waiting all day for an honest and/or intelligent response. It's 10:30pm and I'm still waiting.Should be easy enough to fact check this. According to Stewart the bill had nothing added to it since the first vote when those republicans voted for it.
I can’t find anything suggesting that there was anything done besides correcting a procedural error. No evidence of budget shenanigans which is the excuse now being repeatedly trotted out by Republican loyalists.
I’ll probably read through the whole thing later tonight when I’ve got time. But this just sounds like it was backlash to the climate change legislation.

what's the point of my repeatedly posting what you have no intention of acknowledging? What's the point of you posting what isn't in contention? You are such a dishonest coward to take that dodge. Not that I'm surprised.

" McConnell said Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican from Pennsylvania, presented an amendment Republicans wanted passed that would fix underlying accounting issues in the VA. But McConnell blamed Schumer for trying to block “any semblance of a fair amendment process.” “As written, the legislation would not just help American’s veterans as designed, it would also allow Democrats to effectively spend the same money twice and enable hundreds of billions of new unregulated or unrelated spending on the discretionary side of the federal budget,” McConnell said. “There’s no excuse why the Democratic leader should continue to block Sen. Toomey’s common-sense amendment. A bill this important and this bipartisan deserves for us to fix the accounting gimmick, and then it deserves to become law.” "
It’s a waste of time trying to debate anything with the wannabe Squad. Just like their heroines in the original Squad, they don’t have enough collective intelligence to read a Doctor Seuss book. At least a couple of them have recently admitted that Pedo Pete has been a disaster, that shows those Squad members at least have double digit IQ’s, if just barely. But it’s one thing to be mentally challenged, it’s another to refuse to see/admit the truth. So they choose not to discuss the idiot they elected and their party’s policies which have put us in the recession in which we now find ourselves.

Not only did Schumer not block Toomey's "common-sense amendment," Toomey was given every opportunity to bring it before the Senate for a vote but he balked. Maybe he fears it isn't so common sense after all.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, said Thursday afternoon he plans to hold another procedural vote on Monday evening. He said he would also re-extend an offer to Toomey to put his amendment forward on the floor.
“I don’t know where they came up with this. We offered Toomey, who is standing in the way, the ability to do an amendment at 60 votes, just like the bill is a 60-vote bill,” Schumer said.
Toomey instead insisted in conversations with others that he wanted his proposed changes reflected in the bill automatically without an amendment vote, Schumer said, noting he stands by his original offer.
“We will give Sen. Toomey a right to bring his amendment to the floor and try to get the votes for it,” Schumer said.
Toomey wants to take away the ability of appropriators to do their job,” Tester said. “Every appropriator should be mad as hell about that … Unfortunately, many of the appropriators voted with Toomey.

More like it is an ongoing exercise in futility trying to argue with the Sore Losers Society. Trump's crotch remoras are still so angry and upset over the lost election that it impairs any semblance of common sense they may have ever owned. And while you're making Dr. Seuss jokes, I'm still waiting for you to read over the PACT Act resolution, which I kindly provided you with in the form of a link almost 24 hours ago, and get back to me with some intelligent thoughts on the matter.
Instead, you and brownnose continue dodging the issue, refusing to believe that your esteemed Republicans could ever be more dishonest with the public and US veterans than the Democrats.
Joe is listed in Hunter’s phone contacts as “Pedo Peter“. We can surmise where the “Pedo” part comes from, now we know where the “Peter” part comes from. Evidently Joe used the pseudonym of “Peter Henderson”(ironically a fictional Soviet Union spy in Tom Clancy novels), in texts to close friends. It’s telling to say the least when a son uses that nickname for his dad/pops/father. WTF did Joe do to that kid to turn him into such a freak? That 🍎 fell right next to the tree trunk.
One of the finest Americans ever. I wish he were alive today. He’d kick your sorry ass if you had the balls to say it to his face, which you don’t.
You just went on a tirade insulting other people's intelligence, yet you apparently aren't smart enough to recognize a silly joke...
Have you ever met the blaze? Apparently not. He towers four inches over George and would knock his wooden teeth out.

Tough as nails, motherf*cker, and don’t you forget it.
Whole different level of toughness back then. Do a little research on George.
you believe who you want to believe and I'll believe who I want to believe. Meanwhile, I guess as usual that I have to point out what common sense would tell us; that is, we who are not of diminished mental capacity....Senators who not only supported but helped craft this bill and then substantially voted to pass it, are NOT all of a sudden going to decide that the bill is not one that should pass. SOMETHING is a a substantial sticking point, substantial enough that the reluctant pub Sens are willing to take the hit for it, bellowed out by the likes of the hysterical lunatic Jon Stewart and lapped up like good little doggies like you. Given the dems history of creating traps just like this one, and recognizing the meaningless side ploys like the climate deal, I'm actually proud that we have representation that will stand its ground on our behalf and try to keep a plug in the obscene money drain that the dems keep making wider and wider with no regard for the damage it does to our country..Not only did Schumer not block Toomey's "common-sense amendment," Toomey was given every opportunity to bring it before the Senate for a vote but he balked. Maybe he fears it isn't so common sense after all.

don't forget false wooden teeth, that might be important
eta; oop, didn't see that someone had already posted about the teeth
whatever you're trying to say about lawyers here is going over my head. Sorry. I'm sure it's me.
I'd love to see the backstory on that. Otherwise I call bullshit. Why would you have to buy something from what you considered to be your own property?
(I'm not really calling bullshit, I'm just trying to coerce your lazy ass to provide some linkage)
lol that's so weird, that the 'crotch remoras' can't get over it yet the 'crotch remoras' aren't the ones constantly harping on the bad orange man. I can't help but think that it's the 'rectal remoras' that can't let it go, that is, habitual ass sniffers like the one I'm replying to.
That’s not how freedom of expression works. You’re attempting to undermine one of the core values that he and the other founding fathers committed their lives to fighting for.
I thought seemed odd as well. But apparently he said he bought them himself in one of his journals.
The Trouble with Teeth
www.mountvernon.org
Deep within one of Washington’s account books is an entry which details Washington’s purchase of nine teeth from “Negroes” for 122 shillings. Whether the teeth provided by the Mount Vernon enslaved persons were simply being sold to dentist Dr. Jean-Pierre Le Mayeur or whether they were intended for George Washington, is unknown at this time. Since Washington paid for the teeth it suggests that they were either for his own use or for someone in his family. It is important to note that while Washington paid these enslaved people for their teeth it does not mean they had a real option to refuse his request.
uhhh.....didn't they commit their lives to fighting for his right to say "George is off limits."? Was there a 'George is off limits' exception in the core value rulebook?
Nobody told him he doesn’t have the right to say that lol. Do you not get bored with trying to start pointless arguments?
nobody said anybody said he didn't have the right blah blah blah....YOU said.
"That’s not how freedom of expression works. You’re attempting to undermine one of the core values that he and the other founding fathers committed their lives to fighting for."
to which I said.
"uhhh.....didn't they commit their lives to fighting for his right to say "George is off limits."? Was there a 'George is off limits' exception in the core value rulebook?"
Isn't the right to express yourself also known as 'freedom of expression'? Isn't what he was doing exercising that right and that freedom? Isn't that how freedom of expression works? Because you said it is not.
And you started this stupid exchange. Don't you get bored with being the idiot who accuses others of exactly what he himself does?
No kidding, and when it comes to believing total nonsense, you are the queen bee. You still believe in the Big Lie, for Chrissakes! Wasn't it you who a few days ago wrote something to the effect of, "Trump believes like I do that the election was stolen"?
I don't think that even Donald Trump is buying into that ridiculous crap anymore. How effing stupid are you?
