Of course they'll oppose every appointment. If they get the House in 2022 they'll impeach, and if they still have the Senate they'll convict. Did anyone think there wasn't going to be tit-for-tat after the last 4 years?

Well, I used to think there was some integrity in Washington, somewhere.

[Scot Dutchy]

A naive Sean?

Apparently Biden received a lot more dark money than Trump.

President-elect Joe Biden. Nearly $132 million in anonymous money backed his White House bid, compared to nearly $22 million to aid President Donald Trump, according to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics for CNN.

...surely that should say "compared to just $22 million"... bias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111!!!!

Is it dark money or is it donations under $5k that don't have to be declared by donor?

[laklak]

It's the Illuminati.

It's dark money, we just don't know who gives the money.

The spending was fueled by massive anonymous donations, including one gift totaling $51.7 million.

But with donations like that in 2018 I think we can be reasonably sure the bulk of it isn't from small contributions.

I suppose if they oppose every appointment, Biden can go the acting route since there's ample precedent. I've already heard Democrats saying he should skip the Congress and just rule by executive order.

[laklak]

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

People are thick as fucking pig shit.

[Joe]

Yeah, I'm hoping Biden is old enough to remember that.

[Brian Peacock]

Having the executive separate from the legislature is a good idea, but governing that way does rather depend on a kind of honour system. Unfortunately that seems to have ridden away on wild horses some time ago.

Everybody works for Biden in 2021, except congress and supreme court, and even the SC gets a paycheck from the federal court system. Some 2 million Americans.

I am against legislating from the bench or the Oval Office, but this is the natural consequence of a poorly designed system of government that gives one turtle fucker from Kentucky veto power over the entire legislative process.

[JimC]

Is turtle fucking the state sport in Kentucky?

Or is it just another shell game?
