Yes, it appears to be. Why are the four Ds on the rules committee automatically assumed to vote "no" along with Chip Roy and the other freedom caucus guy? In these circumstances, these Ds could easily assure passage out of committee. At least it seems that way to me. Any idea?Originally Posted by Jim Moscheck
But will it make it out of committee for a vote? That is the stickler, init?

"Rules: The beginning of any process to bring a major bill to the floor is taking it to the House Rules Committee. Rules preps the bill by setting the parameters for debate. A bill of this nature won’t be subject to amendments since opening up the legislation to last-minute changes will kill it. The Rules Committee will meet at 3 p.m. Tuesday.Originally Posted by James Brown

Yay! I hope you are correct.Originally Posted by Rod KaufmanIt looks like the MAGA's stated intent to block the bill in the rules committee will fail as a key holdout reportedly will vote for the deal. "Chip" Roy and the so-called freedom caucus can scream all they want but, at the end of the day, cooler heads are apparently prevailing...

All four Ds voted against passing the bill from the rules committee. Are they MAGA freaks now? I wish someone could explain this to me. Seems the Ds are just as willing to play politics with our financial well being as any R might be.Originally Posted by Rod KaufmanIt looks like the MAGA's stated intent to block the bill in the rules committee will fail as a key holdout reportedly will vote for the deal.

Hi James,Originally Posted by James Lacey
It's a ceremonial "No" vote. They know they have the votes to pass it otherwise, but some will still vote no on principle. The same will happen on the other side.

I agree. A lot of this does seem overly theatrical, which is my point of course. Who is outraged? Disgusted with Congress perhaps, but then again, who is not! JimOriginally Posted by Greg ShafferCome on guys.....its just more of the same ol kabuki theater DC engages in every time this issue comes up.....so they can all claim they are fighting the good fight while they collectively shove more bad deals down our throats. But then you have as much right to your outrage as I have to make fun of it

I re-skimmed the thread. I guess you mean Rod? FWIW, I'm not seeing any outrage from Rod. He detests R policies as usual, but Rod seems quite measured and rational in his dialog. I guess post #4 was outrageously stupid, but nothing new there. So I remain puzzled. JimOriginally Posted by Greg Shaffer
You read the same thread as me.....you should know lol

Yes, I see it, "because of an old House tradition that members of the minority party tend to oppose all rules, even when they support the underlying legislation." Thanks, seems like a dumb tradition to me. The bill is well on it's way to passage. JimOriginally Posted by Rod Kaufman

Cons Wanna Boycott Chick-fil-A!!!Posted By James Brown |
Other than being closed on Sunday, Chick-fil-A has done hardly anything to reflect it's founder's Christianity. They hire LBGTQ employees, and the alleged cash support of an anti-LBGT conversion therapy group was insignificant and long ago rectified. I researched that issue once. It literally was nothing, but the myth lives on.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Now, instead of God's Chicken, it's Woke Chicken. I never understood why so many people love Chik-fil-a; it's mediocre food at best. Regardless though, after reading the article, it sounds to me like the corporate wing (no pun intended) of Chik-fil-a is realizing that to be competitive in the future, they have to trend towards more diversity and inclusivity, not only in their advertising but also in their workforce policies. Otherwise, they will lose out on a vast market share, i.e., there are not enough white evangelical Christian customers, employees, and investors to prop the company up forever. Kudos to them even if they are forced to behave ethically by capitalist interests.
For the Communist Democrat Party, burning a Gay Pride flag is a HATE crime....Posted By James Brown |
Rich is trying to twist his way out of acknowledging that he missed the point you raise completely. Of course burning someone else's flag is a crime. Is it a hate crime? I bet that depends on the motivation of the burner, but I have not yet read the CA statute to see. Is the CA hate crime statute constitutional? That depends on a lot of things, I might read the statute and post my opinion tomorrow. Was Greg amused that this story so completely outraged Richard? Maybe he'll let us know.

Do you think it was a crime?
