Today’s headline US Senate committee clears Boeing lawyer’s stalled NLRB nomination marks almost exactly 51 weeks since the Democrats alley-ooped the NLRB to the Republicans for a slam dunk. Here’s a reminder of how that happened (under Biden, too). Republicans keep swallowing political institutions whole in the U.S., and anyone who has their faith placed in the Democrats must be completely delusional, especially after the recent government shutdown disgrace.

I would say that now the U.S. is officially under corporate control (yes, I know it was before but I mean now it’s legally locked down), what with the NLRB and Supreme Court in the Republicans’ pocket. Labor doesn’t stand a chance anymore.

… Prove me wrong???

    Reading what he said, when would the second vote have taken place? Like he said there were two Republicans that were not present on the 11th so they could have raced Harris back but she didn’t get there till after one of them, but he also states it would have required a secondary vote to occur if they had gotten it done? Why are their 2 votes…
