Joe Biden's accomplishment deficit fuels his filibuster desperation

With his Marxist agenda collapsing around him, Joe Biden's desperation is showing. Suddenly, Mr. Biden isn't just willing to eliminate the legislative filibuster. He's willing to turn what used to be the world's greatest deliberative body into a miniature version of the House of Representatives.

Mr. Biden's agenda is all but officially dead. Build Back Better is on life support. That means progressives aren't happy because the Green New Deal is dead for, at minimum, a decade. That means all of the middle class entitlements are dead, too.

The middle class entitlements were the Democrats' highest priority. If those kicked in, it would've been virtually impossible to eliminate them.

Eliminating the filibuster is required to get the Democrats' voting bill passed. The bad news is that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema stand in the way of eliminating the legislative filibuster. For all intents and purposes, the rest of Biden's progressive legislative agenda won't pass.

From his Atlanta speech:

“Sadly, the U.S. Senate, designed to be the world’s greatest deliberative body, has been rendered a shell of its former self. It gives me no satisfaction in saying that as an institutionalist, as a man who was honored to serve in the Senate,” Biden said. “But as an institutionalist, I believe the threat to our democracy is so grave that we must find a way to pass these voting rights bills."

“Debate them, vote, let the majority prevail,” Biden continued. “And if that bare minimum is blocked, we have no option but to change the Senate rules, including getting rid of the filibuster for this.”

Manchin and Sinema are saving the Democrats from themselves. Biden's speech:

It's time for sane people to retake control of the Democrats. They're their own worst enemy. They're Republicans' best electoral helper, too.

Joe Biden's staff gets it that his legislative agenda is quickly disappearing. The odds of them getting another thing passed from Biden's agenda keep getting slimmer. That's a far cry from the days when the Corporate Media talked about Biden's opportunity to become a historic president. It isn't a stretch to think that desperation is setting into the Oval Office.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
