Kevin McCarthy's hack speech on the House floor is lasting longer than some of my marriages.
LOL, McCarthy is comparing Biden's presidency to Carter's. Dude. Biden is the modern FDR.

- American Rescue Plan, BIF, & now BBB to be passed
- US econ added 531K jobs in Oct in rebound from Sept
- Unemployment from 6.3% in Jan to 4.6%
- 80% of jobs lost in pandemic recovered
McCarthy is giving the GOP greatest hits -- he's now crying about us being out of Afghanistan, as if Trump didn't sign the withdrawal agreement; there was also Green new Deal, the border, masks....This is why booze was made.
As a reminder, revised numbers show over 626,000 jobs not being on the initial reported. #BidenDelivers

McCarthy now screaming about $ being spent.

Don't fall for any sudden concern about debt & deficits by the GOP. Those fuckers passed the biggest tax scam bill-a vulgar transfer of wealth from working people to the scandalously-rich donor class without a thought to borrowed $.
McCarthy is now saying he took Biden at his word that he'd get Covid under control. He did. We have a pandemic of the unvaccinated now -- and that's because of Trump-GOP stupidity.
McCarthy moves from ranting about the border to night goggles and Afghanistan to fentanyl without an ounce of coherence. I think he may need medication for this affliction.
While McCarthy rants, here's a handy reminder to other residents of my home state of Hawaii:
McCarthy tries to slam Dems by saying that they've been able to do in a few months more than was done in decades. I'm like... "Good!!"
It is literally sunset in Hawaii and this guy is still going.
This clown has talked for so long that my solar lights just went on and I have to think about dinner. Make this hell end.
I know some people are saying McCarthy's clown show is for an audience of 1. That audience of 1 is probably dissatisfied anyway since the name Trump hasn't been mentioned/praised. And the longer this clown goes, the more of a laughing stock he becomes.
While McCarthy goes on and on and on, let me take the opportunity to say that I am making the big salad, homemade cranberry sauce, and bringing the wine for Friendsgiving. All the wine is from California because i support blue states.
Did I just hear this right? Did McCarthy just bring up slaves?? Slavery? Just stop. Good Lord. GET THE HOOK.
He is onto Reagan and Gorbachev and the Berlin wall. And lamenting that Reagan and Trump didn't win Nobel Peace Prizes. (For reals) Oh and the border.

Meanwhile, let's #BuildBackBetter.
Oh God, he's going to tell another story. I think my chicken cacciatore is ready. Yes, people, it is dinner time in Hawaii and this clown is STILL talking.
He's upset the Speaker might not be listening to him. Meanwhile, almost 3 hours later he says, “I’m just getting geared up.” He's onto hypersonics and Fauci. I am so glad i am stocked on booze.
His voice has gone high now as he rails about spending -- I am not sure if he's weeping or inhaled helium.

BTW - the CBO score on BBB shows that it will DECREASE the deficit. As well, leading rating agencies have said that BBB will not add to inflationary pressures.
Also McCarthy lies and claims Larry Summers warned against the cost of BBB. In fact, Summers is in favor of BBB.
Now he's whining about not being able to take a bathroom break while the Speaker probably did.

You. cannot. make. this. shit. up.
His voice is really high. Probably because he needs to pee.

The asshole says "I don't want to control you."

No Republican should ever say these words unless they are for reproductive rights.
The asshole is now asking “How are we going to heal this place?” Dude, you literally defended the murderous psycho Gosar!! Start THERE.
Dude is lying again about Larry Summers. larry Summers SUPPORTS BBB.
Dude is namechecking Bill Clinton from a bygone era about big government being over, and claiming Democrats are out of touch. Meanwhile, every poll shows BBB is popular. Biden is IN TOUCH with real America.
While the McCarthy clown show continues, Hoyer indicates that McCarthy can speak all night long. The House will reconvene at 8 am to pass #BuildBackBetterAct in the daylight.

Democrats are playing this perfectly. McCarthy wants this vote to take place in the dead of night. It will happen tomorrow morning instead.

No vote tonight so my time listening to this fool is over. I have relinquished enough of my life for this shit show.

I'm out. Good night, Tweeps.
FYI: I turned down the volume on the tv and went to sit outside to get some fresh air. As the night goes on, from outside, Mccarthy sounds like a high pitched whiny Karen.
Karen McQarthy is STILL going.

The CBO score shows that BBB will DECREASE the deficit. As well, leading rating agencies have said that BBB will not add to inflationary pressures. As such there is NO reason not to pass President Biden's BBB agenda.

Pass the bill and lets #BuildBackBetter !!
The only reasons one would have for NOT passing BBB are that you want President Biden's agenda to fail irrespective of how it HELPS America & you don't want to tax the rich.

ALWAYS Vote Democratic. The stakes are clear.

Don't fall for any sudden concern about debt & deficits by the GOP. Those fuckers passed the biggest tax scam bill-a vulgar transfer of wealth from working people to the scandalously-rich donor class without a thought to borrowed $. They just need to STFU.

We have a red alert suburban coalition crisis on our hards. As @danpfeiffer notes, without Trump on the ballot, Republicans are winning back Romney-Clinton voters faster than Democrats are winning back Obama-Trump voters or finding new voters. messagebox.substack.com/p/early-though…
We don't have a complacency problem. Turnout was high last night on both sides. Youngkin won because he convinced enough Biden and Northam voters to switch sides. Job 1 for Democrats must be getting these voters back without depressing the base.
As @danpfeiffer warns, there is no math that gives Democrats the House, Senate, or WH without winning these voters back AND holding our base intact. Furthermore, "this goal doesn’t rely on turnout or persuasion. It relies on both."

Via MSNBC:

Chesterfield County
Mc 55%, Young 44%
These numbers are in line with the Biden/Trump division of the vote share in 2020.

In Bath Co and Culpepper Co, which Trump won, Youngkin overperforming Trump's 2020 numbers.
Via MSNBC:

McAuliffe at 81.9 percent in Arlington, Youngkin is at 17.7; in Fairfax, Mc at 66.5, Y at 33.2.

In both cases, Mc running a little behind Biden's numbers in 2020.
Via MSNBC:

In Loudon, Mc at 54.6 and Y at 44.9; in Henrico, Mc at 52.6, Y at 46.4. Mc underperforming Biden 2020 numbers so far; Y exceeding Trump's numbers. Question is if Y can sustain this trend.

More vote to come in so we'll see.

Focus on your "climate shadow" as we fight the #ClimateCrisis. It's about how you vote, how many kids you choose to have, where you work, how you invest your $, how much you talk about climate change, & whether your words amplify urgency, apathy, or denial mic.com/impact/forget-…
#ClimateAction cannot simply be understood through the prism of low-impact & easy to quantify actions like recycling or if you fly a lot. How one expends attention is VITAL. How many hours a day are you or I devoting to #ClimateAction ?
By promotion the carbon footprint & small "feel good" activities as the most important things for concerned citizens to focus on, the fossil fuel industry ensured that we would not put our energy towards what TRULY matters: COLLECTIVE ACTION & ACTIVISM.

Manchin is going to kill the clean electricity program to rapidly replace the nation’s coal & gas-fired power plants with wind, solar & nuclear energy from Biden's BBB....& along with it, us as well. #ClimateEmergency

Unforgivable.
nytimes.com/2021/10/15/cli…
In my view, there is simply nothing more important in Biden's BBB than aggressive his #ClimateAction programs. Nothing. All I feel right now is loathing for these obstructionists. Pure loathing.

Manchin is all about his dirty fossil fuels and his dirty fossil fuel money. I understand this is what we get with a W. Va. Dem... but I am entitled to my rage. And rage and loathing are what I feel right now.

On this Labor Day, be reminded that we have the 8 hr work day, 40 hr work week, & child labor laws because of the labor movement. #LaborDay
If you're enjoying your long weekend, remember that you have a weekend break from work because of the labor movement. #LaborDay
Workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, pensions, and Social Security? They exist largely due to the labor movement. #LaborDay
