    JD talks big game about being weird “family guy” while running on platform that cuts child tax credits. At the same time these assholes are blaming Biden and Harris for cutting child tax credits.

    Republicans can not be trusted for shit

      He got up and straight faced said on tv that Harris opposed a regularly touted policy (the child tax credit) by the Biden/Harris administration, and no one said a fucking word. It’s unbelievable. It’s not like someone ran interference and protected him. He didn’t imply it. He just stood up there and said “she did the opposite of what she did.” What the fuck is even happening anymore.

      It did expire under a dem-held house, senate, and presidency.

      Of course it’s disingenuous as fuck for a republican to say that since the republicans are even more opposed to it.

        It’s barely a democratic senate when they have to rely on Manchin to overcome a Republican filibuster.

        But that absolutely should have been gone when they had a super majority.

          Fun fact. You don’t need 60 votes to kill the filibuster. Keeping the filibuster is cover for conservative Democrats.

      Republicans will guzzle from the spigot of federal highway funding no problem. It’s just when there’s funds available to actually have a positive effect on their communities that they decide they’re fiscally conservative.

      Oh Republicans will accept federal funds for all sorts of things. It’s just that they‘re morally opposed to helping children avoid starvation.
