He's like Dirk, good second banana that needs a prime Jason Terry or prime Peja next to him to get anything done, tbh...
lol kidding.
I mentioned this a long time ago, the whole 'negotiating' thing was never going to work in this environment. He needs to pass his , and he continues to fumble.
About this time in his term, Obama was getting Obamacare lined up. Trump was getting ready his tax cuts. Those ended up being their signature legislation.
Brandon is still fighting to get a infrastructure bill across, and he already bent the knee three times, more or less.
This. It's a good change of pace and back to normalcy. Tired of hysteric politician having to comment on everything from Goya foods to the latest social media tantrum.
Prez addresses the nation when there's something actually important to communicate. Otherwise works. For the day to day media fodder there's the prez secretary.
She looks like that Merkel
Well, he is getting killed with independents right now. And we know those are the difference makers in a divided country.
And since he ran as a moderate, I personally think he should act like one and stop chiding moderates like Sinema and finally stand up to the crazies within his own party. He's terrified of those squad brawds.
In any event, just pass something already even if it is slimmed down considerably. Trump not getting the softball infrastructure deal done was a big loss that Brandon can't afford to take.
Anyone who thinks the agenda Biden ran on is moderate wasn't paying attention.
But Biden is the most inaccessible POTUS ever. W was another one that tried to hide from the cameras and his approval ratings still suck today
Agree he does not need to be out there all the time like Trump, but take some actual off the cuff questions once in a while.
He beat the socialist.
His words.
Neat. That does nothing to address my point. He ran on an agenda of multi-trillion dollar climate change reform/safety net expansion.
The fact he used vague rhetoric that maybe came off as moderate doesn't change what his tangible agenda was.
...that's because MSM made damn sure (Anyone) "wasn't paying attention" to anything but "Biden ran on is a moderate."
Yes and no. I'm guessing you for example managed to figure out that Biden wasn't a moderate despite the media's narrative. Biden got a lot of never-Trump Republicans to endorse him which definitely got a lot of focus but he wasn't shy about sharing his tax and spend agenda since he needed to get progressive enthusiasm as well.
Truth be told people saw old white dude from Delaware and assumed moderate. Voters are just lazy.
The bitter truth.
I actually wish Biden was more moderate on immigration. Trump's remain in Mexico policy was so much better than Catch & Release.
After a brain aneurysm and a train ran over her face tbqh
That sh1t works wonder when attempting to sway millions of low attention span moderate voters.
Sure but they voted for his agenda.That sh1t works wonder when attempting to sway millions of low attention span moderate voters.
Similarly, all the re s who voted for Trump due to his vague populist rhetoric about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the US, whether they like it or not, voted for Trump's agenda of repeal Obamacare + tax cuts for the rich + nothing else.
He should've passed just the infrastructure, easy win. Then a series of smaller bills to address the other . Dumb idea to try and get it all done with one "transformative" vote given the small margins they have in congress.
If he does that Sinema and Manchin are a firm no on anything else no matter how small it is.
I thought remain in Mexico was being implemented again?
It is but not because Biden wanted it to be, SCOTUS issued a ruling that it needed to be.
Joe Dirt improving his polling numbers..... with Republicans
You cant make this up
The recovery has been quick regardless of Brandon. What do people think happened?
Completely disagree. He doesn't have enough to stand up to anybody, plus the 'crazies' are not that crazy, they've been so far always supporting what he proposed, including the severely trimmed down versions of his proposals.
The fact is Sinema and Manchin are acting like Republicans, and that's really what they are. This really hasn't been a negotiation, it's been a hostage situation.
He's getting killed by all sides, and even if he passes something, anything outside of what he proposed, he's going to get killed. If it's not independents, then half of his base.
I pointed it out in another thread, they miscalculated this thing mightily, and now it's too late to go back.
I don't think that's his decision. Old Joe used to slip stupid all the time even when he wasn't senile. Cameras have never been a friend of his.But Biden is the most inaccessible POTUS ever. W was another one that tried to hide from the cameras and his approval ratings still suck today
Agree he does not need to be out there all the time like Trump, but take some actual off the cuff questions once in a while.
Ultimately, it paints a contrast with his predecessor which is welcome (IMVHO).
"transitory inflation" is now "temporary", GDP keeps getting revised downward
Something that begins with an "s"
Moderate rightsizing of government spending will be an economic and political disaster for Dems.
