This Admin is a disaster.

I'm stunned and completely at a loss to understand why. I mean they had so many great ideas and Biden and Harris both had such long and amazing track records of unparalleled success and accomplishment. Where did it go wrong? How could this happen? Nobody could've seen this coming.

We have elected people in West Virginia and Kentucky that do nothing but help flood their states with opioids, represent a small percentage of our total population and do all they can to hold back any legislation that could potentially help not only people in their own states but the rest of the country.

America is full of ghouls that have polluted Congress for decades.

I'm assuming this is butthurt about the BBB not having the votes?

EDIT: The idea that Dems were going to pass some transformational legislation with a 50/50 Senate is pretty silly. They don't have that mandate. Democrats should be absolutely thrilled that they have a senator in possibly the reddest state in the union. Biden won ZERO counties in the entire state. Think about that. Truly incredible that they have a Democrat senator in 2021.

If they wanted to pass some big legislation, they should have tried it when they had the sort of majorities typically associated with big legislation (See FDR, Johnson, first term Obama). Further, apparently Sinema has told people that there is a handful of other Dems who want nothing to do with that bill, but are content to let her and Manchin take the heat.

Biden really thought he was going to come in and be FDR lmaoooo.

I’m grateful for the legislators from KY and WV today. They prevented a bill that would drive this country even further in the wrong direction from becoming reality. Our Admin has lost touch with reality and mistook their win as a mandate for extreme progressivism. Tax cuts for people who own big houses (SALT) and trillions of more spending after unprecedented inflation numbers is not what we need. If it was such a good idea, his own party would be on board.

Probably afraid it will cost them their seat and if that's the case that tells you they are more interested in themselves than doing what's best for the country. Paski trying to throw Manchin under the bus. Said he's holding up the vote. Manchin's response is gold.
In response to criticism from progressives that Manchin was holding up the bill because he wasn't supportive, he said he supported holding a vote for the bill.
"Here's the thing, when it's time, just vote, I've been saying that. Just vote. If that's what people need to show where they are, then vote," he said on Fox News.


I have no problem with the overall concept of BBB, but the size and cost is the problem.

From the official White House page:

"We are intent on not letting Omicron disrupt work and school for the vaccinated. You've done the right thing and we will get through this. For the unvaccinated, you're looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families, and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm."

Considering all the pearl clutching leftists who referred to Trump as Hitler for 4 years, this sounds a lot like 1930's Germany.

Reading between the lines............Okay everyone, we grossly miscalculated how difficult it would be to nip this COVID thing in the bud. For those of you who are not vaccinated, well we're going to stoop to a new low and try shaming you into getting vaccinated.

Or we're going to cut off the unvaccinated from participating in society: schools, workplaces, entertainment events, restaurants, etc. Oddly enough, the White House still hasn't made any such stipulations for migrants crossing our border.

Manchin is such a hero - gets to look like a maverick while providing cover for half of his Dem colleagues who know the bill is a bad idea but want the optics of supporting it. I don't think any serious people really support this thing and the swamp deep sixed it while saving face for everyone.

If the pandemic were really a concern, step one would be to shut down the border. It is a means to divide and demonize - not going away any time soon thanks to the surprising effectiveness at that mission.

This is just like when your kids get mad when you don't let them do something and say, "You just don't want me to have any fun." Yeah. That's why. Bette's rant is the same sort of misinformed, emotional bs that appeals to the uninformed instead of addressing the actual financial, political, and cultural reasons for opposing a bill or spending plan.

Evidently Joe's vast experience at deftly handling foreign matters has escaped him for now. After screwing France over in the submarine deal, France just screwed us. Interesting read as this goes beyond tit for tat.

France's $19 billion weapons deal is sweet revenge

Gentle reminder that he had zero victories in the Senate and stood by as VP. He’s had no major victories and has been consistently wrong on every major decision. Record crime, border crossings, covid deaths, and inflation under his leadership. Total disaster.

Democrats need COVID to remain front and center of everything so their country-crushing policies don't get the attention they so urgently deserve. Democratic policies should not survive in the modern era but the Reps sure are bad at using their policies against them.

Their best move is to inflate COVID against their own people. Think about that.

I thought I saw some graph the other day where 5 in 100,000 unvaccinated are dying now. Someone on social media was using that like a "got you" to push the vaccine on Joe Rogan or someone's page. Seemed kind of silly tbh, especially when those people likely have other factors putting them at risk. With the new anti-viral medication just getting green-lit this week to fight COVID this whole "doom and gloom" approach to their messaging seems a little overblown tbh.

To me, the significance of this was that they didn’t tell Joe about any of this. It makes you wonder if he knows where he is polling and about how well his ideas are received?
It really supports the widely held belief that Joe’s not in charge and his crap staff is making all of the decisions. I mean, in what world does he not know about the Let’s Go Brandon thing? It was literally on top of the ITunes chart as a song.

Grandpa Joe suddenly is very pro-state governments handling COVID lol.

Not gonna lie I loved the instant change in tone from the media and the liberal machine at large when it started hitting DC and New York again. Suddenly "cases don't matter, hospitalizations and deaths do!" and "there was nothing anyone could have done!"

Something something DeSantis!

You know it's getting bad when cnn.com's major headline is about Joe and not Trump.

Biden grapples with a Covid-19 testing failure that could have been foreseen


https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/28/politics/joe-biden-covid-19-testing-failure/index.html

the US is being compared unfavorably to other developed nations where citizens have easy access to rapid tests for free.

Biden denied that shortfall in at-home testing represented a "failure." But he added: "You could argue that we should have known a year ago, six months ago, two months ago, a month ago." The President said he wished he had thought about ordering 500 million at-home tests "two months ago."

More than nine months later, he is now admitting not enough has been done. Such comments make it hard to accept arguments that the White House was taken off guard by the Omicron variant. Many experts have said for months that rapid testing needs to be more available to the public. It's hardly a secret that new variants of the virus were inevitable. And a recent episode in which White House press secretary Jen Psaki mocked the idea of sending a test to all Americans -- a goal Biden has now embraced

Joe has officially given up on COVID. After having more deaths on his term than his predecessor, he has failed to provide the tests we need and states that there is no federal solution to COVID.

Media will likely pivot to Ron DeSantis.

You think that the President of the United States is getting briefed in the Oval and the top of his list is "Sir, something horrible has happened. Some rednecks at a NASCAR event were chanting 'Fuck Joe Biden' and a driver thought they were saying 'Let's Go Brandon'... now people are memeing about it on the internet!!!"

It literally sat on top of the iTunes charts for weeks. It was appearing on TV in major sporting events. Yeah, I think this should have been casually discussed at some point. They probably filtered it out to him along with his approval ratings.
