I like how Dems want Biden to issue executive orders to circumvent the Senate Parliamentarian. First the Electoral College and now this.The Dems think they can simply eliminate any aspect of government procedure they doesn't serve their interests. Scary. |

They shouldn't circumvent the Senate Parliamentarian, but they certainly should abolish the filibuster entirely, making the parliamentarian's ruling moot. Unlike the Electoral College, the filibuster is absolutely not in the Constitution.What's scarier is that instead of trying to convince more people to vote for them, the GQP/Trump Party is trying to suppress the vote in order to keep ruling by minority government. And yet you ignore this singularly egregious attempt by the minority party to secure permanent rule. So much for you being a moderate. |

Don’t give me crap about ruling by minority government. When the Dems aren’t in charge of the House and Senate, they squawk plenty about “minority party rights” and make trouble for the other party.I’m sick of Democratic apologists trying to portray them as being clean as the driven snow. Democrats are just as selfish and corrupt as Republicans. It’s all part of the Washington swamp. They are all in it to protect their political asses and their big donors. Period. |

You really believe that:· requiring photo identification to vote and then making it difficult to get such identification either by cost or through limited locations to do so and choosing which forms of identification to accept based on the perceived voting patterns of those who hold such identification · proposing legislation to strip the people of the right to directly choose presidential electors (Arizona) · having equal Senatorial representation for a state with fewer than 600K as a state with almost 40 million people is (attempted) rule by minority government?!? |

Then why has the liberal press given the Santa Clara extension that nickname, eh?

What does ANY employment in transit have to do with covid? What does an infrastructure project previously greenlit by the GOP have to do with keeping Americans employed in union jobs with healthcare in case they become infected? What does snidely calling it the "Pelosi" subway have to do with whether it is deserving of CONTINUED Federal support? Clearly the GOP--who gave away the store in the tax dodge bill several years ago--have flip flopped to their deficit hawk stinginess when it comes to something actually socially useful. Make them wait in the rain for the cancelled buses. |

The Covid bill should be for helping out the unemployed as a result of this democrat induced plandemic only. Nothing else. And ridership will never reach the levels they were prior to the scamdemic. People will be so comfortable working from home, most will not return to commuting. Any be start and rail extensions will be a compete waste of money. |
