MTGross previously had no hat on, then as Biden walked past she donned the MAGA cap. Said something to the effect of "Say his name."
Freaky Mikey doing nodding and clapping, including when Biden repeats Trump's "do whatever the hell you want" comment.
"January 6 lies failed...this is a moment to bury the lies. You can't love your country only win you win."
Freaky M still nodding along.
"Like most Americans, I believe Roe V. Wade got it right."
Biden just told the MAGA justices they're about to reckon with the power of women.
"Investing in ALL AMERICANS."
"Turning setback into comeback, that's what America does. I inherited an economy on the brink, now our economy is the envy of the world. Unemployment at a 50yr low..."
Joe takes a poke at the "Vote 'No' And Get The Dough" MAGA. "If anyone doesn't want that money lemme know..."
Biden references brain drain and young adult flight from rural communities...
Biden still hitting on fed dollars to red communities...
Reminds that he was first prez to stand in a picket line. "Wall Street not bad guys, but the middle class built America."
The insulin reminder. Go ahead, Joe.
Reminds of deficit cut, Medicare negotiations.
"They're making a lot of money guys. They'll still be extremely profitable..."
"Even Moscow, probably."
References ACA, still a very big (fucking) deal. LOL
Reminds of MAGA threat for ACA repeal. Wants to expand.
Shout to Jill, women's health research.
The mortgage tax credit proposal. Elimination of title insurance. Using anti-trust to drive down rent.
Pre-school access, studies prove such beneficial for children from broken homes. Emphasizes better-educated workforce as a consequence...to CEOs, expand tutoring and summer classes for literacy. Increase Pell grants, minority institutions...reduced burden of student debt...
"I'm a capitalist. You wanna make a million bucks? That's great! Just pay your taxes!" Talks about DJT $1.7 tax cut. "Do you really think the wealthy and corporations need another tax break?" ("NOOO.")
"Make big corporations pay their fair share." Raise corp min to at least 21%.
Tax breaks for jets, big farms, end it. Average fed tax for billionaires -- 8.2%. "No billionaire should pay less than a nurse, teacher..." "I propose a minimum tax for billionaires at just 25%. Imagine a future of paid leave, home care..."
Reminds of the evergreen GOP desire to privative SocSec, etc.
"You guys don't want another 2 trillion tax cut? No? I thought that's what the plan was..."
"Too many corporations engaging in price gouging...snack companies, I'm not joking, it's called 'shrinkflation.'"
10% fewer Snickers! lol
Biden on junk fees, vendor prices up front...
Here we go with the border bill, "that conservatives got together, you don't like that bill?" 😆
"This bill would save lives. Look at the facts, I know you know how to read..." 😜
"I'm told my predecessor told...."
MTGross heckling about the GA woman killed. Biden emphasizing that the border bill the MAGA killed would've dealt with that.
"If my predecessor is watching, I will not demonize immigrants saying they're poisoning the blood of our country. I will not separate families, block people of their faith."
Melting pot reality of immigrants "but we're all Americans."
"We can fight about fixing the border or we can fix it. I'm ready to fix it."
Biden has Pettus marchers, mentions John Lewis, the VRA.
"59 years later, a force taking us back in time...voter suppression, gerrymandering, dark money...pass the John Lewis VRA and stop denying our diversity."
"My message to transgender Americans...I have your back."
Mentions the declining murder rate and violent crime rate. Expunges pot convictions. Domestic violence prevention and prosecution. Uvalde massacre -- "Do something." Trump's record with NRA, "just get over it." "I say 'STOP IT.'"
Wants to ban assault weapons, high-capacity magazines. Universal background checks.
Hamas, Israel, Gaza...toll on civilians, 30k dead. Ceasefire, mentions the temporary pier on coast for humanitarian aid. "Israel must do its part...only real solution is a two-state solution. No one has a stronger record on Israel than I do...no other path (other than the 2-state)."
steny hoyer got a big kick out of that
@InUnfunky even my Republican business partner is finally seeing how we're getting fucked while major corporations skate.
Well, that's GREAT news! I'm encouraged when people can reassess their world view!
@InUnfunky brilliant moment.
all of this is 🔥
@InUnfunky MTG is one of the worst people 😠
Lol Joe talks about DE and not being anti-corporation. More taxes on high earners and corps mean the middle class does well, everyone does well.
