If you ask my wife, I'm kind of an asshole, but I can brew good beer, so perhaps we would find a way to get along.

because he's absolutely 1000% right...
After getting 84 votes in the Senate less than 2 months ago, the Senate Republicans blocked the PACT Act after it was revoted on to correct a minor, non-consequential error in the text of the original bill.
3.5 million burn pit and Agent Orange veterans who could have received access to health care were just totally fucked over by Republican Senators. All this comes a day after Manchin changed course to support a climate bill that included lowering prescription drug prices, putting a cap on oil companies charging excessive prices at the pump despite oil barrel prices dropping dramatically, and policy enactments to combat global inflation...simply just to punish. Craven immoral motherfuckers.
Forward Party. Let's go.
I’m so sick of these bills with names like “save the children act” which also includes a ton of pork and other partisan BS agenda items…so when the other party doesn’t vote for it, on Election Day they get to say that their opponent voted against saving the children, and he/she is “craven” and “iimmoral”….
Such stupid political garbage….
Well then I am sorry, but those people are the problem.
Both sides of the argument contribute, both sides have strong points and weak points.
Most level headed people should be able to identify issues and policies on both sides that they agree and disagree with.
Surely there is not any party the world over that perfectly mirrors every one of your beliefs and priorities.
People need to stop supporting political parties like they do football teams.
Any of that make sense during a down turn in the economy?
And yeah, I've seen the new bill. Some things suck in it. A lot of what's in it doesn't. It's still far and away better than the $2 Trillion dollar tax cut given overwhelmingly to the top 1% passed 4 years ago. But no conservative was up and arms about that.
Both parties need a complete and total overhaul. Start with the Republican Party first, and I'll gladly help dismantle the Democratic Party and then go after the corporate greed and lobbyists who have bought BOTH parties with no regard to the average working class American wether they're in a blue or red state. God Speed.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) said on the Senate floor that he didn’t support the bill because it would create $400 billion in unrelated spending, which he called a “budgetary gimmick.”
“My concern about this bill has nothing to do with the purpose of the bill,” Toomey said. “This budgetary gimmick is so unrelated to the actual veterans issue that has to do with burn pits, that it’s not even in the House version of this bill.”

Long story short...you're a walking contradiction..."I hate partisan politics, both sides suck" on one hand...while on the other "shame on this congressperson for not voting for this very partisan bill, and this bill is better than the one the other side passed" on the other hand.
You can't eliminate partisanship with partisanship...."start with the republicans" doesn't eliminate partisanship, it magnifies it.

Just today I read that Los Angeles City Council is going to vote on an initiative to "force" hotels to house homeless people in their vacant rooms. They'll have to report by 2:00 every day their vacancy so homeless people can be sent there. Yup, that's the hotel I want to stay at.

My thoughts are if the 5% most extreme from both sides just disappeared....the rest of us would be a HELL of a lot better off!
