garcetti happened to be chairing the LA metro board and listening to public comment when the news broke:

So the mayor just unmuted and I'm pretty sure he just said he was going to make an announcement after the next or maybe last caller.

The next caller then ended their comment with: "See you later Mayor Garcetti, we won't miss you"

they checked and no, there wasn't a bigger piece of paper available

President Biden just pulled out a list of Republicans who he says are touting the American Rescue Plan and who are trying to take credit for its impact but who refused to vote for the plan that was passed with only Democratic support. Wow. pic.twitter.com/DO38UDUX02

The video's even better 'cause he laughs as he says it. Biden understands the power of ridiculing your opponents.

lol "power"

Not a single human being would be swayed by this shit. Republicans are... playing politics?!

Democrats are saying that they will take up whatever key stuff (climate, eldercare) is left out of the bipartisan infrastructure deal in a follow-up reconciliation Dem-only package. Experts/aides split dramatically on how likely that ishttps://t.co/QqOxWcssTc

Biden understands the power of feeding his most gullible followers complete bullshit.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 27 May 2021 21:57 (three years ago) link

It's good practice for elected reps to call out and/or put down shitty policies, beliefs and behaviours by their political opponents imo (did not watch this video)

bobo honkin' slobo babe (sic), Thursday, 27 May 2021 21:59 (three years ago) link

Biden should try calling out Manchin and Sinema for blocking the minimum wage increase and voting rights bills.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:01 (three years ago) link

yeah I wonder why that won't happen

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:02 (three years ago) link

sic posted a good tweet from a Wisconsin/Illinois news source about why that won't happen a couple of days ago IIRC

Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:04 (three years ago) link

yelling at Joe Manchin in public is exactly what he needs to do to win him over imo

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:07 (three years ago) link

The pic in that last tweet really affirms Buttigieg's rat-fink shit-eater look. He makes me ashamed to be gay.

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:10 (three years ago) link

Not even Newt Gingrich will shame me for being gay.

let me understand and make sure i've got this straight. milo have you come here to this board today to tell us that there are democrats who aren't committed to a progressive agenda - yet have the power to swing legislation?! and that president biden is refusing to publicly embarrass and humiliate them!!!!?? color me completely fucking surprised at this information, and the messenger bringing it. it DEFINITELY doesn't feel like groundhog day in here and we all DEFINITELY need to be remorselessly reminded that biden isn't going to deliver all the things we want. if not for the milo daily delivery we'd just all be skipping blithely down the road singing kumbaya, biden is great, he brings us the chocolate cake! 100% a+ service thanking you

When someone deepthroats Biden’s political genius in, uh, ridiculing opponents in a video no one outside of Blue Twitter has watched, a little balance feels good.

The current strategy is having so much success, amirite? Remember when Manchin wrote a competing voting rights bill because the Democrats’ bill is DOA?

It's May. Reagan's major legislation, just as an example, didn't get signed into law until the summer. If we're in the same place in August without any movement, then y'all can rend your garments. I'll join you.

I mean, you can't even defenestrate Joe Manchin. The GOP governor will appoint a GOP replacement.

in a thread devoted to Joe Biden's excellence, sure

So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:31 (three years ago) link

You should tell unperson to take Biden's genius to that thread then.

holy shit he can barely get a whole sentence out at this point huh

I see nothing wrong with praising a guy you voted for doing an uncharacterically snide move. I guess you do.

i dunno, those are real embassies, and it's that the jobs went to two of the worst mayors in america.

― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Thursday, May 27, 2021 1:18 PM (two hours ago)

isn't "ambassador" mainly a "stand there and don't commit a grievous faux pas, promote our unyielding friendship" sort of job, I'd love to send all bad mayors to other countries where they can't cause problems

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:46 (three years ago) link

make Jenny Durkan ambassador to Belarus

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:46 (three years ago) link

i think that's the situation in carribbean islands and second tier european countries, but ambassador to india or japan is a real job, the kind you give to a guy who was on your VP selection committee and in the running for transportation secretary in the mistaken belief they don't suck. but yeah, rather india than LA from my POV.

I mean if Eric Garcetti gets abducted and executed by the Modi regime so much the better right?

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:54 (three years ago) link

Having to interact at all with Modi is some kind of punishment.

Joe Bombin (milo z), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:54 (three years ago) link

Embarrassing that we even still have an Indian embassy frankly

Clara Lemlich stan account (silby), Thursday, 27 May 2021 22:54 (three years ago) link

it's very nice!

I think Japan ambassador is a bit more important these days, with all the N Korea shenanigans and the stuff in the South China Sea going on.. not just a Siberian appointment to keep him out of the public eye

This is a bad example since Democrats held the House, no?

Yet with the help of Boll Weevils our beloved Ronnie passed his tax bill.

They need to get decorated WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War I & II vets doing ads shaming the GOP about 1/6 and calling out their BS.

.@SenFeinstein says this is “the first time” she has had heard about proposals to abolish the filibuster, but as reported in the @LATimes on 4/6/21, Feinstein was quoted discussing the filibuster & being “open” to changing “Senate filibuster rules.” https://t.co/wUuPvLmUsH https://t.co/pmfSBdIfbg
