I just love that dems literally can’t help themselves but pre-compromise - and also ask for recognition and kudos before they actually do or accomplish anything. Imagine trying to claim you should get an A on a paper because you had an idea that was really good but didn’t actually write it. Or when I’m at work, I can’t imagine telling a parent that there sick kid will be better now because I imagined preparing their antibiotic even though I haven’t spiked the bag or started an IV lol

Had an idea that was really good, and then not only didn’t write the actual paper, but decided to think about writing a significantly worse version of the paper.

Also it’s not even an original idea, some Prussian dude already wrote extensively about it in the 19th century.

Lol reminds me of the type of guys with very low self esteem who debases himself while telling a girl he likes her.

“You’re so pretty and I’m hideous and I know you would never like me, but I want to be with you.”

If a democrat found a genie lamp, he’d negotiate himself down to one wish and then vote for something he thinks a republican would want.

Looks like someone didn’t hear the news. I’ll have you know a 4th of July cookout was $0.16 cheaper in 2021

Precompromise is a great explanation of this behavior. Thank you.

It’s more like telling the teacher why A’s are desired by every student and what qualities deserve them.

Then asking her for a C for your paper.

FDR: “I welcome their hatred.”

FDR 2.0: “I promise to cut this fee by about 50% with plenta loopholes that render this promise utterly meaningless. Also - the would modal verb indicates you gotta vote first. So - vote!”

Actually we changed our minds. It’s not the same amount, it’s more. Fuck you that’s why.

The first one’s the Over Fee. The second is the Draft Fee.

This is the thing that’s surely gonna save your campaign Biden. Cutting the fees for people who have zero money by half instead of removing them. We’re still egregiously punishing you for being poor, but we’re punishing you LESS, and that’s a win! Great job Biden!

“Wow now instead of not having any money I still don’t have any money but a bunch of rich snobby douchebags expect me to thank them for it, I’ll be sure to repay the favor”

overdraft = overdraft *.5

such a complicated bill, sorry it took us until the part of our term where the republicans have a majority to write this one.

Neoliberal law writing actually does take a long time because they have to workshop it to be as small a change as possible and the implementation has to be complex enough that corpos can find a loophole.

Solution, banks raise overdraft fees 150%. Someone should give me a lanyard and a 370k a year job for cutting-edge ideas like this!

that’s still a net saving. 50% of 200% is 100%. 50% of 150% is not.
