Get back to me if that happens. Seriously.

From the original story:
>Biden has previously called on lawmakers in both parties to expand resources to fight the “mental health crisis” in the nation as part of his “ unity agenda.” His administration has surged funding to bolster the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and expand school-based mental health professionals.

Why wait until his party has lost control of Congress? This show has been on for years.

Notably Biden got like two trillion dollars in spending new spending authorized during that two year period. You’re being obnoxiously contrarian for no reason.

Dodged the question, why wait?
How much toward health care, social services, mental health?

Sounds like ad hominem because you can't back up your claim

You don’t know what ad hominem means.

Against the person, you intimated I am not acting in good faith, whatever that means in this context, that's against me, not my argument QED

This has to be satire…

No, ad hominem is speech that addresses the identity of the speaker (like if their faith is good or bad, again, whatever that could possibly mean here) and in that sense could even be complimentary
"A person as beautiful as you should come up with a better argument than that" for example

The additional funding has been a priority for the life of his administration. They are probably using the premiere of the final season as an opportunity to maximize attention on the issue.
Also, this sub is called Uplifting News - you lost?

Might as well be called comforting and delusional spin when it comes to this story
Maximize attention = an ad for a TV show
How about maziming some concrete benefits for the unwell? Off the table huh

His party hasn't had control of Congress since 2009 because of the filibuster. Not for big important things like fixing the healthcare system, anyway.
PigeonsArePopular t1_jcynnam wrote
No, the rules which allow the procedural fillibuster are set by a simple majority, which the dems had in both houses. QED, they could have passed anything they wanted.
Dems love to tie themselves up in knots as some kind of auto-kinbaku and proclaim they are helpless, just helpless! The parliamentarian said we can't! etc
This is an ad for a TV show, sucker
