DEMOCRATS ACTUALLY LEARNED FROM THE FAILURES OF 2009
The process around the 2009 stimulus and Obamacare was such a mess, not even Joe Biden wants to relive it.

They've learned that Repubes will lie, cheat, steal, anything but partner in good faith. Don't trust a Repube to his word, ever again.

'Denis McDonough confirmed as President Biden’s veterans affairs chief'

"The Senate on Monday confirmed Denis McDonough as President Biden’s veterans affairs secretary, choosing a non-veteran but a manager with years of government service to lead the sprawling health and benefits agency.

McDonough, 51, was chief of staff during Barack Obama’s second term and held senior roles on the National Security Council and on Capitol Hill before that. He told senators at his confirmation hearing that although he is not a veteran, his long career as a behind-the-scenes troubleshooter and policymaker would serve him well at the Department of Veterans Affairs, a massive bureaucracy beset by multiple challenges.

“I can unstick problems inside agencies and across agencies, especially at an agency as large as VA,” McDonough told the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee in January.

Before the vote, Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) called VA’s mission to care for veterans “one of organization, institutional know-how, and administrative troubleshooting.”"

Joe is creating a cabinet of boring, non-radical, competent, professionals.

Excellent.

Indeed. I can use a little boredom. It seems that I've developed a green thumb of sorts when it comes to growing the 'herb' out here in California. At least it keeps me out of trouble and off the streets, plus I'm not paying store prices.

Yes, it seems strange that the only one lying to me these days is Alexa, about the weather.

I bet these guys can give a straight honest answer to a question too.

Read somewhere that the prez is going to revive FDR's 'Fireside Chats' in some form or another.

I'm getting positively mellow these days, could be that fine Santa Marta Gold I grew last year that's cured up nicely. (grin)

Senate passes $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill, including $1,400 stimulus checks, with no Republican support
President Joe Biden called the legislation "urgently needed" and praised the Senate for passing it

This bill is EXTREMELY popular with the American public, will help every Red state, yet not a single Repube signed on. SMH. Repubes are worthless.

^^ Remember when McConnell said he wanted to make Obama a one term president? The GQP plan now is to make Biden an half term president, so they will stop at nothing to sabotage his administration. Sad truth is that the Red state goobers will not remember who helped them come time to vote.

Exactly why the Dems should end the filibuster.
