theyre too busy self immolating for a man who wouldnt spit on them to put the fire out.
Almost like he’s an incredibly effective president, one of the best in a very long time. It’s unfortunate his accomplishments fly under the radar, I suppose because they’re not very sexy or dramatic. He just gets stuff done which helps the average American or Ukraine.
No one hates Americans more than republicans.
Anyone following Biden’s career throughout the years knows he’s famous for his legislative ability. So thankful he’s the President.
More worrying to me is that Biden appears to be sneaking these wins past *democrats.*
There still seems to be a persistent narrative that Biden is just someone we’re putting up with, that the progressive left loathes.
That couldn’t be further from the truth. Biden is the most impactful and effective POTUS since FDR.
Do they want to win? They had a win with Trump’s impeachment they could have thrown the prick overboard and be done with him, but they kissed his ass instead. They had a win with Dobbs but couldn’t stop out trying to out crazy each other. They had a win with the border deal until trump stuck his nose in and screwed that up.
“the Republicans refused to say yes when concessions were offered”
That’s so emblematic of the Republicans
Unfortunately he’s also sneaking those wins past voters.
Not his fault, but still.
“And why this is bad for Joe Biden.”
“Sleepy Joe” my ass. For someone supposedly addled by dementia, he keeps winning.
I don’t believe this race is at close at the media makes it out to be. Corporate cable news would like to keep things close so that we tune in… Biden is going to blow Trump away at the polls. He will easily win re-election and Trump will get to enjoy going to trial, being convicted, and facing the consequences.
I think we are seeing MAGA crack, nobody is sneaking anything. They’re voting against Trump.
Sounds like this Brandon Biden guy has been around the block and knows politics.
“GOP Sen. Tom Tillis of North Carolina pulled no punches, talking about Greene’s malign influence, calling her “uninformed” and “a terrible leader” and complaining that she’s “dragging our brand down.”
I would laugh at this if the GOP did not present an existential danger to the US and the entire world
While most Republicans keep insisting that he is suffering from dementia.
That’s my President! Keep leading Biden!
It doesn’t matter until election time comes, folks.
REMEMBER TO GO OUT AND VOTE
Hell, without even trying, the Democrats are basically like 2 seats away from a House majority at this point.
The bit where Trump is “turning his back on Greene” is pretty interesting to me. That Trump and his campaign can’t manage to keep in sync with their most rapid supporter in the house.
Because the obvious thing to have done is for one of Trump’s people to call up Greene weeks ago and say “pump the breaks on the destruction of the GOP for now, people are starting to notice that it’s our fault that our house majority can’t even manage to pass procedural votes.”
Then Greene could have pivoted. Maybe make up a narrative about Democrats hating the country and refusing to work with Republicans, and her having no choice but to support some of this legislation to save the country.
Instead, she keeps making stupid threats to removing the speaker again, while Trump is saying he’s a good guy. So, this time around, her threats are clearly empty. She could have done it earlier to stop this legislation that she opposes, but she just complained about it and then made up a story that she was going to wait for all of her colleges to go back to their home state so that they could be flooded with angry messages from their constituents (which I suppose is really just her calling out to MAGA to make a fuss).
MSM – whose owners are largely also 1%ers – reap more gain from selling a horse race over objective reporting on the weakness of the presumed GOP nominee. It’s a ‘self-fulfilling’ prophecy and has a lot do with how Trump came to beat Clinton in 2016. The perfect storm of “She’s got this” hubris and “Americans would never elect him…” cynicism.
This time around, the Orange Menace is unlikely to get more than 60 million votes. Biden vote totals will likely fall, too, but even if he loses 2 in 10 of in 2020 voters, he would still beat Trump. If only 1 in 10 of his 2020 tally do not vote Biden this cycle, he will still win in a LANDSLIDE(!) and we might just be able to put MAGA to rest for good.
The campaign saving, “How bad could he be?” question has been definitively answered.
“Here’s why that’s bad for Biden.”
If there was not a 24/7 right wing propaganda machine the upcoming election would be a landslide for Biden.
Assuming Biden stays healthy, he will win by a comfortable margin in November, 2024. He’s the incumbent, he’s running against a criminal, and abortion will mobilize millions of new voters.
It will not be a landslide. Too many MAGA, but it won’t be a nail biter.
Just get out and vote, not matter what headlines are out there. Remember, bots don’t take breaks either!
Another self own by the right wing of the GOP:
> Notably, there is no increased funding for the border because Donald Trump ordered the Republicans to reject it so that he could keep demagoguing the issue during the campaign.
It’s call governing! What some republicans are doing pretty much equates to influencers promoting hate or selling out for Russia.
Good article. I’ve always liked that reporter. Anyone catch that subtle jab at the end?
> Meanwhile, the Republicans are reeling with internal strife **while their leader sits fuming in a courtroom daily**.
💩🚼
Even with an R held House he’s still the biggest winner in this Congress. Brilliant, really.
>there is no appetite in the House GOP for any more internecine fights, at least for the moment. And the rest of the party is obviously sick of the kooks.
My favorite quote.
He’s racked up a ton of stuff quietly.
The media is doing a great job of prerty much ignoring it.
This article hints at something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently–it really feels like a shift has happened, and the “civil war” in US politics has moved from D’s vs. R’s, to within the Republican Party. Instead of the 2 parties being at loggerheads, the Republicans have effectively fractured into two camps, one of obstructionists and one of “serious” people, who care about governing.
I think Biden and the Dems should lean into the “Uniparty” label as much as possible, and effusively thank the R’s who are being responsible, and use a lot of rhetoric like, “we’re glad to work with any serious adults who want to help improve our country…”
That dynamic really helps the Dems, because most Americans are hungry for serious, effective leadership. But it’s a very difficult position for Reps, because much of their base is not supportive of the serious work of government, and don’t see cooperation as a good thing. But enough Republican members of Congress will probably continue working across the aisle, because they don’t come from districts dominated by MAGA, and they need some legislative accomplishments to run on.
Over on r/Conservative a few weeks ago, I read a comment that said something like, “It’s so much easier for Jeffries to keep his caucus together, because the extremists want the same stuff the moderates, just a lot more of it. But Johnson has to deal with two factions that fundamentally disagree about government priorities, and no policy initiative will satisfy both camps.” I think that was a pretty astute observation, and we’re seeing that dynamic play out now.
He’s been doing it since day one and not bragging about it because it’s his job.
