 Hey folks quick video here. I'm sure that we'll talk more about this next week But I wanted to comment on the news that went down yesterday. We basically saw Joe Biden's administration implode before sending out the $1,400 survival checks, which as you'll remember was supposed to be $2,000 But I'm gonna share two tweets with you and two articles that I think summarized the situation well Anna Kasparian says today Biden approved an airstrike in Syria and the Senate parliamentarian shot down federal minimum wage hike through reconciliation Dems can overrule her but Biden doesn't want to Dems will lose everything in the midterms and possibly the next general and they'll deserve it This is precisely correct He bombed Syria before sending out survival checks and On top of that they are pretending as if their hands are tied because of Procedures in the Senate and now they're saying well, you know what the parliamentarian She said that we can't pass this using reconciliation. So I don't know what to do Looks like we can't pass it They don't want to pass it They're using this as an excuse as we're going to learn the vice president Kamala Harris can easily Overribe the Senate parliamentarian. So this is not an issue at all Nobody heard about the Senate parliamentarian while Donald Trump was in power But it's because Democrats don't want to actually take action and give millions of workers a raise And they're using this as they're you know, um, their excuse Kalkulinski says Biden's bombing of Syria is both unconstitutional and illegal under international law You see it was illegal and unconstitutional When Donald Trump bombed Syria and it is still illegal and unconstitutional When Joe Biden bombed Syria, guess what if you want to do an act of war? You have to actually ask for Congress's approval, which Joe Biden did not do He did not do that Also, this is illegal under international law Nothing changes does it now on the issue related to the Senate parliamentarian I think that this article from the Daily Poster Andrew Perez and David Serota titled secret memo shows how Harris must now advance minimum wage hike kind of details here that They have a path and they're not going to be able to get the Senate parliamentarians approval Okay, move on move on you can override this Senate parliamentarian. Nobody cares about this unelected ghoul Okay On Thursday a key Senate official advised Democratic lawmakers that the chamber's rules did not allow them to include a minimum wage increase in President Joe Biden's first COVID-19 relief legislation The ruling from the parliamentarian means that Vice President Kamala Harris could decide the fate of one of the Democratic Party's most Significant campaign promises, but it remains unclear what she will end up doing as the presiding officer of the Senate Harris Who has long touted her support for a $15 minimum wage can now use the power her predecessors have used to ignore the advisory opinion? quote Advisory opinion that's key here because that is who the Senate parliamentarian is and fulfill Biden's campaign promise to boost the wage a Confidential memo obtained by the Daily Poster now circulating on Capitol Hill spells out exactly how that could be accomplished However, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain this week declared that Harris will refuse to use that power because they don't want to a Decision that would effectively put the Biden-Harris administration in the position of potentially killing the protect killing the prospect Excuse me of minimum wage legislation for the foreseeable future immediately after the parliamentarian's ruling the White House issued a statement reiterating Klain's comment declaring that Biden respects the parliamentarians decision Well, our hands are tied folks the parliamentarian spoke this unelected individual who actually has no institutional power Just serves as an advisory role that we can easily override The parliament the parliamentarian spoke so it's over. I mean is this a joke? I feel like we're being pranked right now like this incompetence is astounding But I shouldn't say incompetence because it isn't incompetence They're pretending as if they can't do anything and they can't overcome procedure They just don't want to that's that's the issue Some congressional Democrats have already began arguing that the Biden administration's refusal to overrule the parliamentarian would be Immoral and a political disaster for their party Yeah, it's been 12 years since we've raised the minimum wage And if we're going to make those promises we have to be able to deliver on them Democratic representative Pramila Jaipal said Wednesday on MSNBC because I'll tell you what in two years when people vote in the midterms You're not gonna be able to say well. I'm sorry We couldn't raise the minimum wage because the parliamentarian ruled that we couldn't do it. That's not gonna fly Exactly, if you do not get results, you will get Obliterated now moving on to Syria. This is an article from Forbes Biden launches airstrike against Iran backed militia in Syria So not only is he illegally bombing Syria He's escalating with Iran when he should be getting us back into the Iran nuclear agreement See Iran actually reached out when he was elected Giving him a window and an invitation to basically rejoin the JCPOA even though the United States is the ones That decided to unilaterally withdraw from it So you'd think that Iran wouldn't want to come back to the table But they were reasonable enough to say, you know what we understand you had a crazy president who withdrew So we're gonna let you get back in. Biden has basically given them the cold shoulder and now he's escalating with them so the Pentagon conducted airstrikes against Iran linked and Militias in Syria on Thursday and one of the first known military actions ordered by President Biden days after militias launched Rockets at US forces in Iraq as tensions between Iran and the United States continue to simmer Yeah, this is basically we're seeing proxy warfare with Iran now Unbelievable the airstrikes destroyed several structures used by Iran backed Shia militias Operating on the border between Syria and Iraq Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby announced in a statement Thursday evening The news was first reported by Reuters Kirby cast the strikes as a defensive move following several rocket attacks on American facilities in the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Urbil this month. Hey quick question. Why are we still in Iraq again? Why are we still there? US officials told multiple news outlets the airstrikes were meant to deter future attacks without seriously escalating tensions in Iraq and Syria hilarious the White House vowed Tuesday that the groups responsible for those rocket attacks Believe the Shia militias underwritten by Iran will be held fully to account. I just love this line right here They're basically saying listen. We had to do an act of war To de-escalate Argument that they're using it's laughable. It's absolutely laughable. No, I'm not seeing any details on the deaths here But from what I've read there were 17 individuals who were killed in this strike I'm not seeing that in this article and we're not gonna read the whole thing because this is supposed to be quick But um, I don't know what else to say. I don't know what else to say. I think that this tweet right here It says everything I Mean Joe Biden he decided that it was more important To bomb Syria than to get you The checks that he said would go out immediately and remember these checks originally were $2,000 but now they're $1,400. What idiot did you think that we wouldn't include the $1,000 how stupid of you for believing that? I mean, they are just like asking for a bloodbath They're asking for a bloodbath like Democrats are corrupt and incompetent But there is like a bare minimum level of things that they have to do to at least ensure their survival electorally speaking, but it's like they're trying to do Everything in their power to lose the midterm is a midterms elections midterm elections. Sorry And it's just they will deserve it. They deserve it Because they're not doing anything They're not doing anything. You're not delivering for the American people You said the checks would go out immediately that hasn't happened and now you've bombed Syria before getting us the fucking checks So here's what needs to happen now We need all of the people who are against this in the Democratic Party to stand up and fight against Joe Biden and his administration Because it's very clear that Within a month, he's not looking out for the people So do you want him to drag you down as well and drag down other Democrats? If you don't want that to happen and you're an elected member of Congress if you're a member of the squad You know, if you are in the Senate and you're progressive and marquee you said you were progressive, right? During that primary now is the time to show up and fight now is the time to vocalize Your disapproval with the actions of the Biden administration because guess what if you don't act here If you don't speak up you are going to get wiped the fuck out and you are going to deserve that You're going to deserve that
