WASHINGTON (AP) — AP source: Senate parliamentarian says $3.5T bill can’t include citizenship path for immigrants, big blow to Biden, Dems.
"big blow to Biden" instead of " big blow to immigrants" is the spin here ..
Politics is just another pro sport or reality show you can follow. The drama between the different teams and contestants is what is interesting. Sure, there are really people at the other end of the process who might be harmed by the game but usually they're poor and/or brown and they're not celebrities so they doesn't really matter.
Sorry, the rules that we set up (and are non-binding anyways) are preventing us from doing stuff. Nothing we can do.
"The Founding Fathers wisely designed America's government to be damn-near-impossible to change."
Y'all remember being taught this like it's a good thing?
We call them the Funkiamertarian because they save our asses from doing any work.
What even is a parliamentarian? You guys don't have a parliament. I've been on this earth for a good bit and have never heard of this position until sometime last year or so.
Check out the shadow docket. It's supposed to be used for emergencies by the supreme court. I'm American and I must have heard about it but I entirely forgot because it was trivial legal process shit. Who cares?
The GOP justices have given it a new meaning. It lets them legislate from the bench with minimal effort. No trial. No lawyers. No pleading. They do whatever they want without even pretending to give a fuck. Seriously, for them it's like writing a short, piddly blog post. It's how they eviscerated Roe. They issued a short message at night. Settled law? Not anymore!

The goddamned fucking Wikipedia page doesn't seem to mention abortion at all.
It doesn’t matter who you vote for because the Palimentarian will just say no is a take leftists should be spitting in every liberal face
I dream of the day that we make no excuse for the terror and then the shoe is on the other foot. Hearing liberals try to explain to an establishment labor counsel why they need to be able to make bombs and be cruel to the indigenous would sound absolutely insane if they didn't already have the power and the status quo.
Ah... But you see... You silly leftists simply doesn't know the facts. Ackshually the parliamentarian doesn't say no to everything. He wouldn't let us enact healthcare but he allowed us to make a temporary means-tested grant of one (1) get well card and one (1) box of crayons to children with cancer whose parents are Pell grant recipients who have operated a successful business for more than three years in an underserved community.
blue magas explaining why they have to go back on all their ideals because an unelected official who can be ignored and was unheard of before 2021 said so:morshupls:
Republicans are objectively worse for doing so much evil shit but like
FUCK I cannot stand democratsThey are just both representing capitalism, so there is no distinction to be made except for social issues.
Democrats are currently rounding up and deporting a bunch of Haitians who'd fled an earthquake.
They're all ghouls.
If the parliamentarian did not exist, it would be necessary to invent her :liberalism:
A reply to the tweet. Guess which Rolling Stone lyric is quoted...
I don’t think it is a big blow considering all the rest in the bill @aoc @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @SenWarren @POTUS @vp @SenSanders Like The Rolling Stones songs “You can't always get what you want But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find You get what you need”
Continuing to not have basic human right is fine for me, a white male from middle america. Good shit. God I love winning. :DaBiden:
