For the record...Sunnyside rants are epic

For the record...Sunnyside rants are epic

I could be wrong, but I think me and Sunny have a lot in common when it comes to discussing politics. We try to hold our water, then 1 day, the dam breaks, and we start over.

I hate you politics, but I cannot resist you.

SD - i appreciate your ability to not take things personal when I get pissy and personal. sometimes im the asshole i love to hate, if that makes sense.

cheers and sorry

No worries. Politics has the ability to make all of us say/act/etc outside of how we do outside of politics. I'd gladly grab a beer with any of you liberal bastards lol.

We have a lot of good people here, yourself included, that's why this is such a great site.

Say anything G1 doesn't like, G1 immediately Trump shames you. He isn't president anymore. I moved on in November. These type comments have zero meaning to me. You do you baby!

LOL. keep lying to yourself. You ,chico and cred aren't close to moving on.........all three of you are still in mourning. You can say what you want but your posts say different.

You could learn from him.

You can say what you want but your posts say different.Your comprehension is so lacking. I am looking forward (and have said several times) to several parts of the social agenda moving forward. LGBTQ rights and drug legalization are two of them. I also am good to see the minimum wage raised, and would like to see higher tax hits on those making over 1M per year.

The only person on this site fixated on Trump is you, in my opinion.

The Biden administration's attempt to put a 100-day pause on deportations hit a wall when a federal court granted a temporary restraining order in a lawsuit brought by the state of Texas.

U.S. District Court Judge Drew B. Tipton stated in a Tuesday order that the directive from acting Homeland Security Secretary David Pekoske that halted removing those who already had final orders of removal against them appeared to run afoul of the Administrative Procedure Act, which governs how federal agencies conduct rulemaking. The same law was used to block a number of Trump administration actions as well.

"The Court finds that, by ordering a 100-day pause on all removals of aliens already subject to a final order of removal, it appears that the January 20 Memorandum is clearly not in accordance with, or is in excess of, the authority accorded to the Attorney General pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1231(a)(1)(A)."

The Senate, split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, is moving forward with a power-sharing agreement after Minority Leader Mitch McConnell relented on an ultimatum over filibuster rules.

Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer and McConnell had been in a standoff that had the potential to hobble President Joe Biden’s agenda and stymie legislative action.

“I am glad the Republican leader finally relented, and we can move forward now to organize the Senate, set up committees chairs and ranking members, and a process for moving bills and nominees to the floor from committees with an evenly divided number of members,” Schumer said on the floor Tuesday. “I’m glad we’re finally able to get the Senate up and running. My only regret is that it took so long.”

The Senate has been operating without a deal, which froze committees from the previous Congress with Republicans holding the majority and all chairmanships. That left Schumer in charge of the floor, while GOP committee heads, or at least those who did not retire and are still around, continued to run their panels.

The agreement, text of which has not yet been released, is modeled after the rules that governed the chamber the last time it was tied in 2001.

Courts freezing executive orders -- im fine with it as long as there is merit to the courts ruling. Judge/forum shopping is a problem on both sides. Good for goose, good for the gander. Dems cant rightly complain but im sure they will.

I imagine republicans wont be screaming "judicial activism" on this like they did previous years.

Power sharing - yay. now go to your committees, give salacious quotes to reporters but dont actually do anything legislative bc were 50-50. Perhaps pass some budget reconciliation stuff once a year, definitely seat judges .. but no legislation.

Its going to be quiet 2 years. Sure there will be lots of Ted Cruz and AOC headlines .. but nothing of actual substance can get passed. Besides hot air and perhaps some more covid.
