Yellow | Mitch Mcconnell Blocks Pension Vote

First off no one said LAST YEAR, I said they originally attached it to DACA which was 2017 do your own google search on it.(no bill gets a stand alone vote)

Hey maybe you are right but I can't find it. I did my own search as you instructed me but this is the only thing I could find from 2017 on the original Butch Lewis Act. I couldn't find anything that democrats wanted a DACA attached to it. It says the dems had asked for a stand alone vote. However I do recall jimmy posting something a while back about DACA and 2018 bi-partisan pension committee that failed to come up with a plan. If that is what you are referring to I would be interested in reading about it.
Congressional Democrats working on labor and retirement issues convened Wednesday morning to call on their Republican majority colleagues to consider immediate stand-alone passage of legislation, known as the Butch Lewis Act, which would, Democrats argued, “ensure the pensions that American union workers have earned over a lifetime of work are protected into the future.”

IT’s CHRISTMAS EVE. so

Since this spending bill that just got passed included money for the Miners plan and not Butch Lewis (which House Dems put in the spending Bill at McConnell’s request and both houses and party’s voted for overwhelmingly so they can rush home for Christmas)

We just agree that BOTH party’s screwed us on Butch Lewis.

if they were going to include pension relief they should have taken care of it all not separate the Miners from the rest. And if McConnell did request it Democrats should have insisted it include a fix for everyone not just the Miners most of whom are probably from his state.

Since BOTH party’s SCREWED us if Hoffa has any balls he will say the Union is endorsing NO political candidates for the 2020 elections and tell the International, all Joint Councils and every Local to make no monetary contributions to any candidate at any level unless some type of pension relief for the Teamster plans is agreed to and approved.
 
No politician, of either side, is ever, ever, ever, going to touch Social Security. Why should they, they can just print more money.
Maybe before but it's a whole new world now. SS will be one of the "entitlements" gotten rid of. Ask mick mulvaney. And besides, isn't the public demanding it?
 
I would not be so sure .The red hats will stand by trump no matter what . Like he said he could murder someone and not lose a single vote . He has a brain lock on a lot of righties . This would not be the first time in history as I recall this happen in Germany in the 1930's . Not saying trump is that bad .
Nice making up :shhit:. Comparing an American political party to (⊙▃⊙)s, wanting to kill Jews. That’s low as it gets.... yet, I bet you’re proud of saying it....

The democrat controlled house passed Butch Lewis. Mcconnell killed it. Not sure how people are saying both parties screwed us. One party passed it the other one killed it.

As I said Trump was not that bad . The (⊙▃⊙)es and the /••\ both endorsed trump .What did trump do that made David Duke make the statement that we have our man in the White House .Its no secret the (⊙▃⊙)s and /••\ support trump . (⊙▃⊙)s disguise themselves as republicans politicians . We had one come to our house Arthur Jones, running for congress . BTW he almost pulled it off . ಠ▄ಠ did what the republicans have been trying to do for years and that is to crush the unions .

It’s terrible law. It deserves killed, no matter what party does it. Pass the Grassley-Alexander Proposal.

If the Democrats wanted it why didn’t the argue to put it in the spending bill along with the fix for the miners?
An officer in my local says it’s because they are going along with the Grassley-Alexander.
 
While many people are put off by the apparent dead end of politically motivated conversation here, I like the fact that a google search from an exchange like this can lead me to some place that I otherwise wouldn’t have gone had it not been for my desire to support one side of the argument or the other.

Don’t Call Donald Trump a Fascist

There is, however, one respect in which our time resembles the interwar years. It remains true, as Orwell argued of his own day, “that the present political chaos is connected with the decay of language, and that one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.” Then as now, open societies are still best defended by the willingness to think and speak clearly—not hyperbolically and manipulatively—about the challenges they face.

I believe they executed more than 30 ‘minions,’ but I get your point. :17142:

The Leftists killed over 100 million. ಠ▄ಠ’s National Socialist Workers Party ordered at least 6 million Jews executed. Stalin ordered at least 25 million, mostly Jews, shipped to Siberian prisons or starved. Mao killed untold millions, said to be close to 100 million. Who knows how many the Kmer Rouge wiped out? Leftists operate by eliminating opposition, and then the remaining that are allowed to live, and agree -are a ‘democracy, of the people’...
