Biden was VP for 8 years, and they claim he's been in government all this time and accomplished nothing, but now he's going to make us a socialist nation. Thinking is just not their strong suit. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvyablue256 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 My favorite was when Obama haters lied about their insurance premiums going up because of "obummercare." Now they're pissy about rich peoples taxes going up. But they're all broke and on medicare. tgo, and MikeKeith2020 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/01/biden-michael-pack-kathleen-kraninger-peter-robb.html Hours into his presidency, Biden has already ousted three of his predecessors’ most unqualified and corrupt appointees. This clean break sends a clear message that Biden will not tolerate hostile Trump holdovers in his administration, including those with time remaining in their terms. First, Biden terminated Michael Pack, who was confirmed to head the U.S. Agency for Global Media in June. Pack sought to transform the agency, which oversees the international broadcaster Voice of America, into a propaganda outlet for Trump—despite a statutory mandate that prohibits such political interference. He purged the staff of VOA and its sister networks, replaced them with Trump loyalists, demanded pro-Trump coverage, and unconstitutionally punished remaining journalists who did actual reporting on the administration. In a perverse move, he refused to renew visas for foreign reporters who covered their home countries, subjecting them to retribution by authoritarian regimes. Pack also illegally fired the board of the Open Technology Fund, which promotes international internet freedom, and replaced them with Republican activists. Following whistleblower complaints, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel found a “substantial likelihood” that Pack had violated federal law and engaged in “gross mismanagement.” He was eight months into his three-year term when Biden demanded his resignation shortly after taking the oath of office. In his resignation letter, Pack complained that his termination “will long be viewed as a partisan act” without any apparent sense of irony. Second, Biden sacked Kathleen Kraninger, who was confirmed as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in 2018. Kraninger, who had no previous experience in consumer protection, immediately tried to undermine the agency’s role as a watchdog for the financial sector. She scrapped a landmark rule that restricted predatory payday lending, pressuring staffto downplay the resulting harm to consumers. And she refused to enforce a federal law that protected military personnel against a broad range of predatory lending. Her decision yanked federal support from military families who were defrauded by lenders. In the midst of the pandemic, Kraninger also approved a rule that allows debt collectors to harass Americans with limitless texts and emails demanding repayment. Through the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress gave the CFPB’s director significant independence by barring the president from firing her over political disagreements. In 2020, though, the Supreme Court found this protection unconstitutional. Kraninger supported that decision, which paved the way for her termination on Wednesday. Had the court upheld the agency’s independence, Kraninger could have remained in office through the end of 2023. Third, Biden demanded the resignation of Peter Robb, who was confirmed as the National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel in 2017. The NLRB was created to enforce federal laws that guarantee workers the right to form a union and bargain collectively. Yet Robb is vehemently anti-union; during his tenure, he tried to limit employees’ free speech, give managers more leeway to engage in wage theft, hobble unions’ ability to collect dues, and prevent employers from helping workers organize. He also tried to seize near-total control of the agency by demoting every regional director and consolidating power in his office. If successful, this gambit would’ve given him unprecedented authority to bust existing unions and prevent new ones from forming. Robb’s term is set to end in November, but Biden has authority to fire him before then. On Wednesday evening, Robb announced that he would not step down voluntarily, stating that his resignation “would set an unfortunate precedent.” (In reality, the precedent has already been set: President Harry Truman demanded the resignation of NLRB general counsel Robert N. Denham in 1950 over political disputes.) Biden fired him shortly thereafter. titanruss, reo, IsntLifeFunny, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like my BIL back at Thanksgiving as he kept trying to bring up politics and thanking Trump for everything. Same focus on stocks and other selfish ideals as so many Cons. Oh yeah, he is a “libertarian “ and a “free thinker” that just so happens to always vote Republican even if there’s a libertarian on the ballot. luvyablue256 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschool Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Bipartisan Incremental change or partisan sweeping change? Looks like the dems are going the partisan route via reconciliation which means it will be months before relief is passed. I'm not sure that's a good idea since since funding for vaccine distribution is part of the deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Titans279 Posted January 21, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Waiting until March is a horrible plan. I said this before. They need to do things that help people and do them fast. People need to see and feel the benefits. Using reconciliation (which delays very important things in the relief bill way too long) and then having everything else they promised DOA is a horrible plan.
