1. Sounds like all the turtle did was block legislation.

Sounds like all the turtle did was block legislation.

Thanks for posting!

3. Yes, he didn't call himself the Grim Reaper for nothing ! But the GREAT thing for Democrats is that

they have ALL these bills ready to go and can get them through. Nothing must be allowed get in the way of Biden's first 100 days. It could be truly transformative.

[Harker]

11. He was also very busy ramming through lousy judges.

The legislation can be rectified.

The judicial appointments will ruin lives indefinitely.

19. That is literally not an eighth of the Bill's he's vest-pocketed ...

2. Kicked and bookmarked!

Thanks for posting, OnDoutside! Very handy list!

[OnDoutside]

4. Thanks, Smirkymoney, I had meant to do this last week, but stuff got in the way ;)

[smirkymonkey]

5. No problem, it was well timed.

And very much appreciated!

[Fullduplexxx]

6. Wow thanks for that

[NCjack]

7. Pres. Biden is set for a productive 100 days.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi and 116th Congress.

[Hugin]

8. This needs to constantly be pointed out.

It's not the Democrats who were the obstructionists as was implied in the 60 Minutes interview on Sunday.

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. This needs to be repeated daily so the American public

Especially the Deplorables, can understand what Mc turtle has done to us.

[Ziggysmom]

14. When I mention this in conversation....

Most people don’t realize how the process of passing legislation even works. They have no clue that just one ass could hold up the process.

[rainin]

10. Do they have to be passed again or can they just move to the new Senate? n/t

[OnDoutside]

20. My suspicion is that they fell at the end of the last Congress, but the work has been done, I'll

bet they can move them through faster this time. Obviously the Republican M.O. will be to delay, but frankly, fuck them.

12. im glad turtle will be gone soon .

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. Kick!!!

Fucking McCONnell.

[mountain grammy]

15. No can't be true

Leslie Stahl says Democrats don’t compromise. 🙄

[AllaN01Bear]

16. perhaps i should restate my comment that i made above ,,

reduced to minority leader . hope thats better .

[Wounded Bear]

31. You can edit the original post, you know...

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Thank you for compiling

because we know there were at least 400 bills that were BLOCKED by Turtle last year and DUers were demanding to know "why Democrats weren't doing anything".

The Democratic House held the hearings, drafted the bill language, did the markups with revisions, debated the final content, passed it out of Committee and sent it onto the House floor, where it was debated by the full House, and finished up with a vote for passage. Then each bill would officially be sent over to the Senate where Turtle placed it in the DOA file.

[OnDoutside]

23. Yes there was a helluva lot of work done on these, but IMO, that will make it so much faster to turn

these around and send them back through the House and onwards.

My hope is that Biden could make this the greatest 100 days in US Congressional history, and the main reason why I think the Pelosi/Clyburne opinion that the Senate Trial of Trump be backended after these 100 days. At that point the Covid fight will look radically different, small businesses and working/middle class unemployed will be saved. It could be like a slingshot.

18. KNR and bookmarking.

21. Any of you guys watch 60 Minutes Sunday?

Got royally pissed at Leslie Stahl. I guess she decided Chuck Todd wasn't being heard enough in his time slot, and kept coming at Nancy with the "both sides do it" bullshit. She claimed the Democrats were just as much to blame for holding up the relief bill for months. This, of course, on the desecrated ground Trump's minions had just tried to destroy. Madame Speaker, of course, handed her her ass.

When are they going to learn not to shoot at the Queen? Actually, I kind of hope they keep trying. It's really fun watching her shut them up.

22. K&R

[live love laugh]

25. Can the new Senate pass them? nt

[OnDoutside]

27. I think they need to go through the House again but the work is

done, so it shouldn't be a huge delay.

[Wounded Bear]

29. They have to be "re-issued" by the current House...

but that should actually be pretty easy.

Seems all they need to do is re-number them and re-print them in most cases.

[OnDoutside]

30. Yes, the first 100 days could be dramatic, thanks to Mitch's obstruction !

[lame54]

26. Send it to Leslie Stahl

[Wounded Bear]

28. He didn't just block the votes...

He denied all of them any discussion in committee.
