Coons & Biden Prepped to Stab the Middle-Class in the Back
This is terrible. Coons’ famous bipartisanship shows up just in time to stab middle class Americans in the back.
Biden along with some Democratic lawmakers are open to limiting the $1,400 direct payment to individuals earning under $50,000, with $2,800 going to married couples who earn under $100,000, the Post reported.
Biden told Democrat leaders in the House and Senate Wednesday in a private meeting that he would consider using a lower income level to target direct payments to the people who need them most.
“Maybe we can — I think we can better target that number,” Biden said, according to a source at the meeting who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity. “I’m OK with that.”
Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, confirmed to reporters Wednesday that a conversation about a more targeted payment had taken place. “We did have a conversation about the direct payments and how those might be modified in a way to ensure they’re targeted,” Coons said.

Seriously – What’s with Silicon Valley’s Hard On for Self-Driving Cars?
Elon Musk keeps promising that the fully autonomous car is just days weeks months years away. Now Apple wants to build a fully autonomous electric car by 2024.
I mean, is there some research somewhere that says Americans are clamoring for self-driving cars? Am I just being an old fart and all the kids want self driving cars so they can take their Tik-Tok selfies and play Call of Duty while eating their avocado toast and drinking their soy bubble tea?

DL Open Thread Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021
The challenges facing the country and the Biden administration are monumental, and some of them are not going to be undone as quickly as we all would like. Topping the flaming shitpile is the U.S. Postal Service. Trump installed Louis DeJoy as postmaster general not in spite of, but because the greedy little fuckstick has […]

Fox News: They are trying to purge us from the military.
LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): …to the Republicans like Liz Cheney…
Refuse to allow a single U.S. taxpayer dollar to fund this ideological and un-American purge of the U.S. military. Or expect a lot of us to push for steep cuts in military spending. After all, why should we fund an organization that Democrats plan to use not to protect us, but to restrain us, in order to protect themselves and their grip on power?

Yay for Jesus!
