The media giving a platform to these people basically confirms Meghan’s point.

He blamed the parlimentairan for upholding the rules of the Senate after he failed to make a case for why the MW increase wasn't out of order and then blamed Harris for not overruling the parlimentairan when he didn’t have 50 votes to back her up.

Except Manchin *did* get a win. He got held up as the moderate keeping the “scary socialists” in check.

You can’t expect Crockett to actually be familiar with the bill, friend. That would require research and effort.

It’s so telling that this whole time all he’s ever talked about is the checks. That’s it. That’s all he knows.

The most significant piece of economic legislation in a generation meanwhile and the closer we get to it the angrier Crockett seems. I fear for his health on the day Biden actually signs it.

No no. You’re not supposed to talk about anything else in the bill. Just the checks. Because you’re average Gawker-blogger doesn’t have kids or live on an income at such a level where the UI benefits or additional ACA benefits matter.

Crockett’s talked about nothing but checks because he doesn’t give a shit about anything else in the bill because none of it help *him*.

I’ve heard this argument a lot, and I cannot believe how utterly classist and sexist it is.

But yeah hon, it's all Meg lololol

So Meghan’s the fucking idiot for expecting her ride to go more like Kate Middleton’s than Diana Spencer’s.

Rather than restate the facts, I’ll use some links as well:

The debate, for many, many months, had been $2k checks vs $600 checks. $2600 was never promised or even mentioned. I certainly never got the impression there was as possibility of $2600 on the table. Biden mentioned “$2000 checks” at one speech in Georgia; his team immediately put out a release afterwards clarifying…

with $1400 not $2000 checks

We didn’t “give the Dems a majority” that doesn’t rely on the vote of Sen. Manchin. Unless if someone wants to claim that they thought the only Dem elected state-wide (or to federal office) from West Virginia was some sort of secret progressive, then we might want to be a little more clear about the governing…

So instead of blaming Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema you throw this at the feet of Joe Biden? Instead of blaming the bullshit far left and their “defund the police” rhetoric which scared a lot of white people into voting for Republicans in key senate races you blame Joe Biden? Instead of blaming all those people that…

Yeah I mean it’s not like two senators are the reason for this but please keep trying to think that “the Squad” and “brogressives” have done anything other than well nothing

The Times article read like a gothic novel, with people falling to pieces, quitting their jobs, shaking uncontrollable at the thought of facing Markle, terrified to pick up the phone, weeping all over the place... at what? A mean girl? Or did Markle chase them around with a mace she yanked off a wall, or give them a…

Exactly. Their accusations are just vague generalizations, lacking specifics and context. I’ll bet Meghan did get impatient with staff sometimes. Based on previous gossip, it sounds like palace staff slow walked or tried to block her initiatives. I remember hearing about one charitable endeavor where she made all the…

I’d like to see that “Dignity at Work” policy applied to the poor person who had to repair the gate Andrew rammed with an SUV because it wouldn’t open and he refused to drive around to the other side to the one that was open or the unlucky person who has to iron Prince Phillip’s shoelaces or the Queen’s maid who made…
