I am really liking the Biden administration and accomplishments thus far. He learned the lessons of 2008-2010 and is doing what needs to be done. Far more effective thus far than Obama was, despite a far thinner majority.

Part of it is that Republicans just can’t muster the same level of outrage vs. Biden in the White House that they had vs. Obama.

But I agree that a big part of this is the realization by nearly all Democrats that Republicans aren’t worth dealing with. Let’s hope Manchin and Sinema figure this out soon.

Joe has been in government for over forty years. In that time he has learned quite a bit about how to maneuver in and around the House and the Senate. And just remember this is the first few months there is more to come.

All it takes is one Democratic Senator to either die in office or otherwise be removed, for the whole enterprise of the Democrats to collapse.

Falun Gong, Steve Bannon And The Trump-Era Battle Over Internet Freedom, David Folkenflik
npr.org

Of all the disruptions unleashed by the Trump White House on how the federal government typically works, the saga of one small project, called the Open Technology Fund, stands out.

The fantastical tale incorporates the spiritual movement Falun Gong, former White House strategist Steve Bannon, the daughter of a late liberal congressman and a zealous appointee of former President Donald Trump.

And specifically, it involves a fierce, months-long battle over whether the U.S. Agency for Global Media and the U.S. State Department should subsidize software developed by adherents of Falun Gong that auditors found wanting. The decision to prioritize this software stripped money intended for critical apps from a federal fund designed to bolster technology vital to dissidents overseas, officials say.

On top of that, once the software was approved for funding, a grand total of four people abroad used it to access Voice of America and Radio Free Asia, a key purpose for its subsidy. That’s right, four.

The whole fight was, in short, bananas.

re: #8 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus

All it takes is one Democratic Senator to either die in office or otherwise be removed, for the whole enterprise of the Democrats to collapse.

Actually, no. Only a handful of the Ds would pose problems if they ceased to be among the living. Sherrod Brown would be a problem, for instance, because DeWine could make an interim appointment. Bernie and Leahy, too, because the VT governor is also a Republican(*). And Kelly and Sinema, of course, and Ossoff and Warnock, and the NH delegation, and Manchin.

But those are the exceptions. Most of the Democratic caucus comes from states with D governors, and there’s NC with two R senators and a D governor who could name a replacement if one of them keeled over.

“Removed” isn’t an issue - that can only happen with a supermajority vote of the Senate itself, and that’s obviously not going to occur when the majority is at stake.

What’s more, the average age and health of the Republican delegation is pretty bad, so the odds would suggest it’s more likely we lose one of them at some point in the next year and a half. Some would be immediately replaced with Republicans until a special election in 2022 (or 2024, depending on state law), but the laws in other states call for special elections sooner. And we know some of those seats could be winnable - if Ron Johnson runs home to his masters in Moscow, for instance, we could win that seat in Wisconsin.

Which is to say: yeah, anything could happen - but it could happen in either direction. Maybe we get stuck with a 49-51 D minority for a couple of years (but at least the 51 Rs still can’t get any shitty judges through as long as Biden’s not nominating them), or maybe the odds go the other way and we end up with a 51-49 D majority that’s not hinging on Manchin or Sinema to pass things. And Manchin as the 51st vote is almost infinitely less powerful or consequential than Manchin as the 50th vote.

(*But while the governor of VT is a Republican, he’s a New England Republican and not one of the crazies, and flipping the Senate to Republican control would be a political death sentence if he pulled the trigger on that.)

re: #18 ipsos

A stalemate is an effective stoppage of the Democratic agenda. Biden can’t implement the Democratic agenda without getting bills through Congress.

By “removed” I did not imply being kicked out of the Senate, but simply not being capable of fulfilling the duties of the office.

ipsos  Apr 15, 2021 • 5:20:57pm

re: #18 ipsos

Also, I went and looked to see who was the last Senator to die in office. As I suspected, it was McCain, who was one of only seven to die in this century.

And you know how far you have to go back to find a Senator who died and was replaced in office by a member of the opposite party? 1991, when John Heinz (a relatively liberal Republican) died and was replaced by Democrat Harris Wofford. And that replacement didn’t change control of the Senate.

(ETA: I forgot that Chris Christie named a Republican to replace Democrat Frank Lautenberg after Lautenberg’s death in June 2013, but it was an inconsequential short-term appointment and Cory Booker took the seat back for Democrats in a special election in October 2013.)

By “removed” I did not imply being kicked out of the Senate, but simply not being capable of fulfilling the duties of the office.

Still a fairly unlikely scenario in the big picture. There’s reason to doubt whether Feinstein is still capable of fulfilling all the duties of the office, but she shows up to vote. And there aren’t that many other octogenarians in our caucus right now, thankfully.

I’ll grant that it’s still worrisome that our system puts so much importance on the continued health of individual leaders. The fate of the Republic never should have hinged on RBG’s heart, nor should the entire direction of the country be turned on a dime if Sherrod Brown gets hit by a bus. It’s a good argument for expanding the court and maybe the Senate, too.

Check out our new ride:

Capital Transit’s first battery-electric bus enters service in Juneau

Give a big shout-out to Volkswagen as their diesel settlement $’s were used for the purchase.

And seven more are being added in the next few years.

And the best part is that electricity in Juneau is 100% generated by hydro-power!!!

Win - Win

Also note all the politicians taking credit.

Someone please explain to me why Dems continue to amplify that fucking asshole.

When asked whether or not having QAnon R’s in Congress is a bad thing, he said, “I don’t even know what that is.” Then when it’s explained to him, he says, “There’s conspiracy theorists on both sides.

Then when asked if Q is dangerous, he say, again, he doesn’t know what Q is.

People should not diss the pink flamingo. It’s as much a part of American culture as so many more highly-esteemed American institutions. If I had a lawn, I’d put a pink flamingo or two on it.

This is the U.S. of A., so there is metric on that tape, but it’s not usable.

True, but that storm was a solo cell, not part of a squall line, and the hail pounded the shit out of a swath of land five miles wide and eighty miles long. A lot of it was the northern suburbs of Austin, much of it pounded by 1.8” to 2.5”, 80 MPH ice balls. Damage is probably going to be between $50 and $100 million, maybe more.

Springtime in Texas. But, no earthquakes.
