Build Back Better
- Thread starter PoliTalker
- Start date
Not skirt steak (our favorited-outside, btw...)...or hanger..or flank...
Sear it first...lolYep. Think I'm gonna make a nice Beef Potroast today!
If you can ever get a cross rib roast give that a try for the best pot roast ever...not that there's a bad pot roast....
It's pulled pork this weekend for us....ETA...I just read you're no pork, so I guess you don't need tips...lol
And it passed! No one got exactly everything that they wanted, but everyone got something -- the very definition of compromise.

Hello Sirthinksalot,
Everyone who is knowledgeable of politics and how our government works understands that.
The Senate already passed the exact same Infrastructure Bill. It just passed the House last night with no changes. It is now on it's way to President Biden's desk.
Build Back Better faces hurdles in the Senate, yes. But Democrats are Democrats and they understand the gravity of the situation. President Biden's approval polling has taken some hits. Democrats understand they ride on the coattails of that Presidential approval polling. Democrats may have their differences, but they all understand they have to pass Build Back Better now or the party is toast in 2022.
Everyone in the Democratic Party understands time has run out to produce results. Democrats are highly motivated to act.
The pressure is on the Senate to get this done. If they have to mark it up and send it back to the House, they know that will have to be done very quickly to give the House time to act, and that the best case is if they simply pass it as is and send it to President Biden's desk.
It would help if a single Senate Republican cared more about America than the Trump Party.
Too bad that isn't the case. But Democrats have the power to do what is needed. I believe they will.
I have faith in the Democratic Party.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
Democrats know the meaning of 'compromise.' The Trump Party is intransigent.

No worries, Jack. I'm going to bone you when you are at your most vulnerable. You're going to do down for a fourth 12b ban and then a perm ban if you don't take your meds or answer my question.
And as history has shown, time and time again, "ERMAGAWD THE DEFICIT!" is a tune only sung during (D) presidencies.

The "compromises" made by the founders resulted in the clusterfuck that we have for a nation today.
Pollyanna can't read this, but if he/she/it could, who knows if he/she/it would understand it anyway?

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
The deficit hawks are a migratory species. Their migration is controlled by US elections. They only return when Republicans have lost power.

Quite true.
I wonder how many of the Teatards' funny little hats and teabags were destroyed by moths in the last four years? lol
Without compromise we have rule by force, which only the alt-Reichwingers desire -- as long as the force belongs to *them.*

If we don't make totally incompatible people live under the same government, force isn't necessary.
The founders compromised to make one nation out of very incompatible former colonies, and the problems created by that have multiplied on an exponential level ever since.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
I am amused at all the tattered and faded Trump flags. Rather symbolic, I'd say. They are not quality flags, not well constructed, not built to last. They look great at first, but the luster fades. They are temporary symbols for a temporary movement which will fade, just as the foreshadowing of the fading flags predicts.
The flags fall apart under the pressure of the reality of nature and the light of day just as the arguments of the Trump Party wilt under the reality of fact.
Flying a faded tattered Trump flag is like clinging to a lost cause.

Yep, same as hoisting the stars and bars. Both signify the presence of a loser.

Hello ThatOwlWoman,
I disagree. The American Flag is the symbol of our great nation. It does not represent either party. All Americans should be proud to fly the American Flag when it is appropriate.
I agree that many Trump Party supporters fly the flag inappropriately.
I do certainly disagree with flying or displaying the American flag in inappropriate ways or at the wrong times.
It is wrong to have it on the back of a pickup truck, fly it at night without illumination, have it as an article of clothing, disfigure it, fly it upside down, below a State flag or any other flag, allow it to touch the ground or drape across things. On days when it is flown at half mast it should first be raised to the top and then lowered to half mast. And when it is taken down it should again be raised to the top first before taking it down.
The cheesy little plastic American Flags which are flown from a car window are disgraceful. That should not be done. The athletes who take a flag without a pole and wrap themselves up in it or drape it across their shoulders during victory celebrations are disgracing the flag. The stars should never be lowered below the stripes.

The "stars and bars" = the Confederate flag, not the U.S. flag.
Worse; they think we are morons like their constituents by claiming the legislation costs ZERO and will help reduce inflation!!!
The same PHONY media that fact checked fabricated lies about Trump relentlessly are suddenly quiet and shaking their heads in collective agreement with this moron.
