"Budget reconciliation is a special parliamentary procedure of the United States Congress set up to expedite the passage of certain budgetary legislation in the United States Senate. The procedure overrides the filibuster rules in the Senate, which may otherwise require a 60-vote supermajority for the passage by the Senate. Bills described as reconciliation bills can pass the Senate by a simple majority of 51 votes or 50 votes plus the Vice President as the tie-breaker."

Avoid impacts from potential midterm losses?

I think the Democrats can't wait to lose the midterms so they can stop pretending they want to do anything and go back to complaining about the mean Republicans

It is often funny to me how much the mascots for the two parties fit each's style of governing.

So steady:

CNN wrote:The lack of a topsy turvy first few months has translated to Biden's approval rating. It's been the most stable for any president since the end of World War II.

This, indeed, has been the story of the Biden presidency from a popularity standpoint. At every point at which I've checked in to see how Biden is doing from a historical perspective, nothing seems to shake his approval ratings.

Enjoy it while you can. The 13th will be here soon…

Does this bipartisan bill passing mean it's officially infrastructure week?

I ask anew.

Just 11 more days.

Can't come quick enough, and it will be glorious!

Don't hold your breath:

Lindell previously said Trump's reinstatement would happen sometime this month, following a "symposium" where it would somehow be revealed that Trump in fact won the 2020 presidential election, even though he did not.

But on Monday, Lindell told the Daily Beast that it could be September (or perhaps even later) before Trump is reinstated based on false claims of election fraud — assuming Lindell doesn't reschedule again.

"We'll be bringing our findings to the Supreme Court in late August or early September, some time after the cyber-symposium ends, and it proves it was an attack by China," Lindell said. "When I gave my prediction about August, and that was several months ago, that was an estimate at the time. But it took so long to get this symposium set up. However long it takes for the Supreme Court to take it up and decide on this, I can't predict that. I'm not the Supreme Court."

If Trump actually won does that mean he can't run again in 2024?

"You don't vote for kings!"

The fact that some people believe the Democratic party could organize a scheme to steal an election without slipping on a banana peel and breaking its entire ass on the way to the first meetup is so darkly funny to me.

Great plan guys you’ve got Mitch right where you want h-

*eating popcorn*

If Trump and Biden went in together with a united front on a Depends advertising campaign there is no telling how much cash would be in it for them.

I think that may be the one thing they have in common aside from being elected president … wearing adult diapers.
