Jim Cramer: The Chuck Todd of Wall Street

Here's the full context clip, folks.

Reminds me of the "non partisan" types who decry the lack of civility in political discourse from the left while being silent or ignoring it from the far right.

Considering how the leadup to Christmas was covered by the media, that headline is legit shocking.

Just my two cents, but I think Wasserman and the other redistricting gurus underestimated the degree to which GOP mapmakers would draw lines to shore up incumbents versus going on offense. Certainly the case in Texas.... they could have maybe squeezed a few more seats out of the maps at the federal and state levels, but they would have left themselves vulnerable later in bad cycles should trends around DFW/Austin/Houston continue.

That's politics, Suzyn! Seriously, listen to any debate on health care or tax policy or foreign policy during the Trump years, and you'll hear a whole raft of reflexive opinions. Particularly with regard to health care, where it seemed many opinions against the ACA had to do with whose administration the law was born under than the actual substance of the bill

Did NYT Pitchbot back the Axios twitter account? Lol

Correct. And speaking from experience, the second sentence tends to be disregarded with prejudice. Despite the fact that there is a lot of evidence that outcomes tend to be better with a vaccine versus without.

It likely prevents symptoms from even appearing for some. Seems important?

There are a lot of examples of media navel gazing, but the Harper's Letter may be the best example. Normal people don't have time for that ****

Something something cancel culture something something.

Says the guy who thinks Alex Berenson is any more reliable than any Joe Schmo sitting at the end of the bar.

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/oct/29/alex-berenson/covid-19-death-rate-england-much-higher-among-unva/ I'm sure this constitutes an ad hominem as well.

I'm gonna go ahead and ignore it because I don't need Alex Berenson to tell me what to think about things.

Someone should ask Lew which parties Congresscritters/staff tend to be the ones refusing to be vaccinated.

Almost like WND isn't exactly a credible disseminator of news. Who knew?

Well known purveyor of fair and balanced news *checks notes* Conservative Tree House

I know ad hominems. Ad hominems have often been friends of mine. Senator, that is no ad hominem.

Gateway Pundit? Thats a throwback.

If you take him at face value, he wants to vote YES. Reports are that he even promoted an alternative bill (PreK for 10 Yrs, ACA Extension + climate) when he last met with the President. If you don't agree with him there, I'd argue you probably don't hold the same position he does.

By all accounts, Manchin seems to still be open to a bill, just not as constructed by the House. So if you are opposed to any BBB bill in any form, that would mean that you are not aligned with his perspective.

Will you be aligned with his perspective when he eventually supports a BBB bill? The situation with Manchin is really similar to Bart Stupak during the Obamacare... conservatives loved him when his concerns on public funding for abortion put the bill in peril, only to harass him and make death threats after eventually supporting the bill once his concerns were allayed. Similarly, conservatives like Manchin now, but will drop him like a hot rock when they eventually coalesce around a bill they can all agree on.

Of course, this guy's hot take assumes that McConnell isn't Majority Leader on the Earth 2.0 Sanders Presidency

Even setting aside the idea that job growth from renewables could be aimed at that sector, BBB also extends fees paid by coal companies toward victims of black lung. It goes against the narrative, but there are definitely incentives to support this legislation if one comes from a coal background.
