The American Politics Thread

I do believe the obduracy of Manchin and Sinema is going to cost the Dems.  Doesn't look like Biden has learnt much from the Obama years.  They need to use the double majority to move the Overton window back to the center.  Policies that were once the bedrock of the New Deal and which are still mirrored in many European countries, Canada, Aus, NZ are NOT too left/socialist.  Biden keeps talking about the FDR sized mandate he has been given.  He better start acting a bit like FDR now.  Otherwise his success with vaccination will essentially go down like Obama's handling of the bailout measures - efficient management but not transformative.

Not exactly as she was basically Chair of the House Republican Conference and lost that position but yeah, the reason is because she called out the Big Lie. 

Biden would be delighted with this.  Splitting the GOP reduces his mid term headache and is a big distraction for the party at a time when they've been trying to attack him on the situation at the Southern border.

I have not a doubt in the world he realizes that and will carry that guilt to his grave for all the wasted .. thrown away lives.. all those dead American soldiers for zero goddamned reason.. 

read this.. I dare you.. and have a dry eye afterward. I sure as hell did not..

Liked Chris Wallace confronting McCarthy about his treasonous little "phone call" with Trump --

What's truly hilarious and sad is that Republican politicians are against everything Biden is proposing; however, the majority of American voters approve of nearly everything on Biden's list. And the ones that disapprove wear tinfoil helmets and believe Republican talking points even when they run counter to their own needs. These are the sort of deluded folks who desperately needed health insurance but didn't take advantage of the Affordable Care Act because it was referred to as "Obamacare". You can't make up this sort of abject stupidity.
