Thought I read somewhere where Biden and team were looking to re-invigorate the Peace Corps.  Maybe they plan to pull out the 4000 troops and weaponry and replace it with 4000 PC types in humanitarian type aid?     I guess I keep hoping someone up there took 'Charlie Wilson's War' to heart.

@GRHorn I'm going to dinner at Bob's tomorrow and expensing it to the surly business account simply to re-take the picture that is your avatar, and I'm going to replace it with one that actually looks

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at its all-time high today, so I'd like to congratulate Joe Biden for building the greatest economy the world has ever seen.

God dammit Joe. You were doing so good with the trains and now this bullshit. 
 

 

So any minute now John Cornyn will denounce this imperialism and insist that more refugees be allowed into the country?

Stocks traded higher Friday in another record-setting day on Wall Street, with a batch of stronger-than-expected economic data and corporate earnings results helping fuel a risk rally.

The S&P 500 and Dow each rallied to record levels, with the latter extending gains well beyond the 34,000 level. 

"The Dow’s push through 34,000 is a signal that investor appetite for future growth prospects is spilling over into more value-oriented names," Peter Essele, head of portfolio management for Commonwealth Financial Network, said in an email. "The demand for industrials and more cyclically-oriented areas should continue as the vaccines take hold and earnings potentially come in higher than originally expected." 

I'd like to congratulate Joe Biden on building the greatest economy the world has ever seen.

Just beyond fucking stupid and cruel. It's not like this is going to get the GOP to stop with the white genocide rhetoric.

It's actually smart to not change the cap until Biden has been able to implement new border policy and see how it's working out. Biden can always change it next year.

Tell that to the asylum seekers who die in the meantime.

Your response seems a bit disingenuous and really doesn't take into account the fact that Biden has been in office for less than 3 months and has to literally repair systems that were torn down for the past 4 years. Add to the fact that Biden has spent most of his time quarterbacking the effort to corral the pandemic and to stimulate the economy, you're overreacting.

Joe Biden doesn't need to personally vet asylum applicants. This is a direct betrayal of a campaign promise that would've been incredibly easy to keep (which promise helped encourage a lot of churchgoing white women to vote Dem). Hell, he could've said that we've got to delay the increase because of ongoing covid concerns, but as soon as enough people here are vaccinated he'd begin increasing the cap. There's no defense for this.

He was the least shittiest piece of shit.  His bar is and was low.  Fuck it.  The only cure is that we just have to be patient while the top of this wave dies off.  Then the only obstacle will be voluntary idiocy and the intentionally stupid.  And disease.  And then a water shortage or something.  It'll be fine.

Sorry Ahmed, I know you were a translator for US troops in Afghanistan for the last 10 years and Al-Qaeda has you and your entire family on a kill list and we promised you sanctuary, but Joe Biden can’t let you in and stimulate the economy at the same time.

He'll have finalized a plan by mid-May, Hank (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/refugee-order-immigration-biden-delay-frustration/)

I'm sure Ahmed will make the existing 15K quota.

People tease and leak shit like this to get reaction from the party all the time. 

Yeah, that's where my 42-year-old ass yearns for the 'old' days where news didn't move at the speed of a tweet. there's something to be said about allowing time for information to come to light. We're stuck in a hellhole where it's all about 'gotcha' politics and it doesn't give the aggrieved time formulate a cogent response. We expect so much and so quickly - and we expect it be factually accurate. This a new phenomenon and one that needs to be addressed. Kinda goes back to the old design mantra - you can have it cheap, accurate, or quickly. Pick 2. We seem to have evolved to where we want all three simultaneously.

The thread was a cluster fuck battle royale of 5 “teams” giving instant reactions to every micro aggression, slight, or rebuttal towards their candidate where everyone was equally delusional. Was mostly a thread for progressives to try out every Republican attack on Biden before Trump did and never landed. This thread has some of that but in a much smaller scale, but still zero time for waiting.

Now that Biden has announced a date for withdrawal from Afghanistan, it’s up to him to expedite the asylum requests of those men (and their families) who cooperated with U.S. forces. Leaving them to face the brutality and certain death at the hands of the Taliban will put him on the wrong side of history, just as he was in 1975 when, as a senator, he said “The United States has no obligation to evacuate one, or 100,001, South Vietnamese.”

Afghanistan Gives Biden a Second Chance

Afghanistan Gives Biden a Second Chance

We owe it to them. I hope he has seen his error.

Biden failed to see a moral obligation in 1975. Today he can learn from the mistake and redeem it. Seventeen thousand Afghans who have worked for America in Afghanistan, along with tens of thousands of their family members, are waiting for the excruciatingly slow bureaucratic wheels of the U.S. government to process their visa applications. At the normal pace, they will still be waiting years after the last American troops leave their country. While they wait, trying to hide, many of them will be hunted down by the Taliban. We will be gone, and Afghans who believed our promises will be killed. Our war will be over—Americans might not even hear the news of their deaths.

How?! How are we not talking about this? (Love Bloomberg adding in the ranking comment. Chef's kiss)

How long before the: GOLF? He's playing golf? HOW DARE HE!

 

And he's not tweeting childish insults at our allies and other world leaders.  I'm not sure this guy is up to the task.

Using those two metrics (not tweeting and how much golf played first 100 days) as you seem to be, I guess George W. Bush was your fave president 😂 🤷‍♂️

Looks like Biden would accept 25% on the corporate tax rate (instead of 28%). 

COVID relief + $1400 checks + expansion of child tax credit 

Infrastructure and jobs Bill  

25% corporate tax rate 

Potential $11 min wage passed bipartisanly

All in the first year 

It may not be as big as people want but these things are a Big Fucking Deal (TM)

No don't make it 23%. Obama brought it down from 35% to 28%. It's okay for corporations to pay their fair share.

This.  Minimum 28% and, more importantly, make it so they ACTUALLY PAY THAT SHIT.  It doesn't matter if it's 75% if they actually pay nothing because of loopholes.

There's no 28% consensus.  At least 4-5 votes against it - 25% is the consensus agreement.

And it's not just Manchin and Sinema - Kaine, Warner and Tester aren't on the 28% train.
