President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

49th out of 50 in household income.

 

One Six Coup: The Wrath of Don

 

Pretty sobering thread.

 

I want that chyron placed over a picture of Lane Kiffin holding up a golf ball.

 

Fake news

 

He even had a couple years to get her off the voting rolls but was happy to say how shocked he was that this could even happen.

 

Somebody told me Stop the Steal was not about stopping the steal?

 

The Republicans are blocking a major voting reform push - they could easily say "ok - add some baseline requirements about how ballots are counted etc, and we'll do it" - but they know uncertainty is their friend. The party is not interested in adopting policies that the majority of the people might want to support and help them win elections - which is a really screwy thing considering Trump is described as a "populist." He's a "white populist" I guess. Now they either "win" elections or it was obviously "rigged."

 

Truman merely won the next presidential election...against a candidate from New York...who lost the previous presidential election.....

 

I never bought Biden's "ability to work with Congress" when he was running for President. Did he get any Republican votes on significant Obama legislation? Congress has changed too much - an '80s era Senate Biden could have cajoled - it's no longer the '80s.

 

A President Bernie Sanders likely wouldn't be any more successful at this than President Biden. And the Dems were almost down 48-52 in the Senate.

 

Not saying Bernie would have been more successful - just the idea that Biden had some magic beans to talk the GOP into backing his plan. He's had a problem just getting all the Dems on board.
