DL Open Thread Wednesday, July 21, 2021

Filed in National by on July 21, 2021

Lot’s of news that I will skim over like a flat stone on a still lake. For instance, Dr. Anthony Fauci called Senator Rand Paul a liar and a fraud on the record. (Link) Another Trump official was arrested on foreign-agent charges, Rupert Murdoch decided that too many dead viewers isn’t good for rating, and and Tom Brady mocked Trump while laughing it up with Joe

All of that before lunch.

But first…BIPARTISANSHIP’S last stand.

Chris Coons stated, “This time we are sure Lucy will not pull the football away.”

MORE COOOOOOOONS!!

Coons Extends the Hand of Bipartisanship to Dem Liberals

Well, it is official.  AOC is the left hash mark and Chris Coons is the far right of the Democratic Party.

As part of my ongoing interest in direct job creation and the ongoing debates between the Squad and the Mods of the Democratic Congressional Caucus, I thought it was worth noting that today a bicameral group of Democrats representing everyone from AOC on the left to Chris Coons over on the center got together to announce their joint support for a major jobs program as part of the infrastructure bill:

A group of more than 80 House and Senate Democrats on Tuesday laid out their vision for a climate jobs program called the Civilian Climate Corps that is expected to be part of a sweeping $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill filled with Democratic priorities.

A new letter from Democrats spanning the ideological spectrum pushed for the program to prioritize natural climate solutions, clean energy, climate resilience and addressing environmental justice.

The lawmakers also called for “ambitious” labor standards, including a living wage and an award to help participants pay for college or pay back student loans. The letter did not specify how much money should be provided for that program.

They said half of the climate program’s investment should be directed into front-line communities disproportionately impacted by environmental issues and that half of the Corps’ members should be recruited from such communities.(SOURCE: THE HILL)

    Coons’ full statement:

    “Kicking the football is a complicated process. Many Democrats feel we are approaching the best time to kick the football, and many of my Republican colleagues agree that kicking the football requires a firm hand holding the ball before our foot hits it. They feel, and many of us agree, that it isn’t really fair for Charlie Brown to be credited with all 3 points for kicking the ball through the uprights, so we’re working on a plan that will give Charlie Brown 1 1/2 points and give Lucy 1 1/2 points as well. With this deal in place, this time we are sure Lucy will not pull the football away.”

    Coons is like an offensive lineman who throws the game by deliberately missing his blocks.

    “Well, Judy, I have not been involved in the bipartisan plan. I have been involved very much in the partisan plan, which is something that I think the American people desperately want.”

      Can you imagine the tidal wave of support Biden would get if he ever stopped hedging and apologizing for very popular democratic initiatives?
