Thankfully this c**t who was negotiating for the company has been replaced, and the German government is resisting. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/15/coronavirus-germany-tries-to-stop-us-luring-away-firm-seeking-vaccine.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The White House and congressional Republicans, who insisted on the exemptions as the price of bipartisan support for the legislation, bear the primary responsibility for the indefensible decision to prioritize corporate profits in the midst of a public health emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Yes I did read and the editorial rightly goes onto criticise her for not taking a stand on it and highlighting to voters that Trump and the GOP are screwing them. That should have been a fight worth having and an easy public victory for the Dems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. It’s happening in the UK too. Even Sturgeon is giving wide berths to pretty much open goal opportunities to criticise Johnson’s strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about nothing happens if it doesn't get through the Republican Senate. Time's short and the Dems would get blamed for blocking bipartisanship in a crisis, giving Trump a get out for his total f**k up. Nobody would listen for the reasons why they blocked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 She could have put the bill through then described it as a disgrace and highlighted that it only covers about 40% of employees. Instead she gave a speech celebrating the bill. Obama sipping the water in Flint is the all time bench mark for being a neoliberal shill but this is up there. Pelosi would have been talking to a lot of large companies in the lead up to this. There is no evidence that she did anything to expand the coverage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 This is on Bernie though if he doesn’t go baws oot over this in the debates. Nobody from the Dems or Republicans have a sensible public healthy policy to deal with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Trump is going to crush the election in November. He’s outflanked the Dems from the left and will do the same to Biden. Game’s a bogey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kejan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 If it wasn't already over, then that's it tonight. There's nothing coming back unless Biden is admitted. f**k you Pete and Amy pulling out on the Monday before Super Tuesday. f**k you too Obama. I watched the debate and was hoping for something even though its not in Bernie's nature, just something ; but Biden was coherent and lied enough (a lot) to get through it. I'm sad we won't ever see even just Candidate Sanders but President Sanders. Overblown and so on, but that video at the end of the debate with Bernie basically saying 'thanks, but see youse later ' was terrific. Dana Bash didn't even look up to acknowledge him. God bless you Bernie and if we shitebags Jocks ever vote for a nation, I'd hope you'd somehow be an honorary citizen through your brother. America doesn't deserve you. I think Biden might actually win come November, he's winning the right areas in the primaries (then again, he wasn't Hillary) but he may well win the likes of Penn ; NC ; Wisconsin from the independents who've had their fun with Trump. Then again, a long way to go til November and a lot of Corona too. Still, watch this, and if this doesn't tug at your heart strings or ''democratic'' sides then you are most likely American. God bless you Bernie! What a man! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Saunders is the American Corbyn. Not a rats chance in hell of becoming President, and any Democrat with an ounce of sense should be breathing a sigh of relief that Biden will at least have a reasonable chance of toppling the orange baboon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. But that doesn’t stop him being the best man in the race by a nautical mile. Speaking of which, Russian Tulsi still hasn’t withdrawn from the race.

Speaking of which, Russian Tulsi still hasn’t withdrawn from the race. I wonder why not? I'm presuming that's the opinion of someone who supports left of centre politics in a left of centre country. Labour made that mistake by blindly sticking with Corbyn because he was 'the best man with the best policies'....they looked at it from inside a Socialist bubble. In the real world, Corbyn was repellent to many voters in the middle ground, and the result was an overwhelming majority for a ridiculous, right-wing populist. The same would happen with Saunders. Trump would eat him alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
