MMXXII and Let's Go Brandon!!! has been cancelled

I was opting not to participate in the Shanghai Parade! Any kind of marching with a problematic hip would be a real pain (literally) and I wasn't interested in chanting "Let's Go Brandon!!!" The Local GOP Club was scheduled to march behind of the Local Women's Democrat Club. The Demo's claim to fame was to stand in the rain by the airport and give Mike Pence the middle finger salute as he rode by in his motorcade. I suspect that it didn't bother the former Vice President or the Secret Service.

Apparently their plan was to wave the "Hate Trump" signs and display their middle finger in the parade. It would have been hilarious if the local Women's Democrat was busy waving their middle fingers while the local GOP Club was chanting "Let's Go Brandon!!! behind them

I totally respect either party to express their Constitutional First Amendment Right for Free Speech. Agreement or disagreement is irrelevant. Nevertheless, I would find more happiness being a spectator versus a participant.

So.................We got the word earlier this week. The Shanghai Parade MMXXII has been cancelled courtesy of covid-19.

The morning of New Year's Eve was foggy and the fogginess remained until the darkness took over in the early eve. I was somewhat asleep when I heard Fireworks, loud noises, people shouting, and police sirens. The Year MMXXII has arrived. I don't have to worry about getting up early for the Shanghai Parade MMXXII.

I am more interested in the issues. Why does Senator Manchin who drives his Maserati to the Yacht that he lives on in D.C. so worried that poor families will use monies from the child tax credit for luxuries.

Starwomyn, the Dems win either way LOL

My guess is, it doesn't matter much to Dems in Congress whether Built Back Better passes or not. Their legacy is spending US Treasury Dollars on Americans and that's EXACTLY what they set out to do. On the other hand, Trump's legacy is putting US Treasury Dollars in his pocket and the pockets of fellow billionaires, his family and doners. It's just about that simple ... it's about Dems winning.

If Manchin hadn't blocked it someone else would have. It's too big, too much money, not the right time .. nobody knows how much the Pandemic will cost.

All that money would be misguided, stolen, lost etc. ... kudos Joe Manchin

No matter what the politics, the pendulum swings one way or the other depending on the times. It doesn't stay in one place forever.

Indeed, Kudos to Joe Manchin who lives on a Yacht when he is staying in D.C. He drives is Maserati to get to that Yacht. He is all worried about struggling families that might use the monies from the child tax credit to buy luxuries.
