This was going to happen no matter who was President. I don’t know why people don’t realize that shyt was going to go up after what happened when the shutdowns happened. These people are going to get theirs and it don’t Matter who is running this country
Okay? The president's job is to handle that. You know how you handle this? Not creating more inflationary policies. This is solely on Biden, and Democrats who

  • inflated the economy with stimulus checks and free rent and bills that aren't being paid for.
  • closing pipelines that lowered fossil fuel cost, giving leverage to OPEC and global corporations like Exxon.
  • Transportation secretary who was gone for 2 months during the worst supply chain crisis in history
What about monitoring regular citizens who have at least $600 in their Bank account? What about hiring 80,000 IRS workers to do it? What about the irs, Hoe biden, and Janet Yellen, taxing people for unrealized capital gains, meaning if you decide to buy a shyt coin and goes up like dogecoin did, you would be taxed even if you don't cash out?

Nobody in this topic is mentioning that and that's why this fukking bill failed thank God.

The problem is he's been lying about the bill for MONTHS and no one said anything. The one time he was semi checked, ie when Harris went to West Virginia, he threw a fit. Then Bernie started doing it and he got upset. That should have showed them where the weakness is. He's talking out his ass as if he doesn't represent a state of poor white trash who have gobbled up every "entitlement" program sent their way since the days of LBJ. We're talking straight up Appalachian shyt. Poor white people with nothing, who celebrate when a new post office gets built in town. We're supposed to be those are the people Manchin can't go home to and say "sorry I can't give you a child tax, child care, improved healthcare benefits, etc"?
:mjlol:

He's working for the corporations who want this bill killed. And who, lets be frank, want Biden to fail out the White House. That's who he is aligned with. Pretending otherwise has been a mistake. I understand Biden can't come out and say "hey the nikka is bought and paid for" but this is exactly why we needed a president who is capable of talking effectively and actually doing shyt in person. You needed a president who could camp out in West Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and all these other rural white places and stump for this bill. Because white people clearly benefit from this stuff more than anyone. We've got black people too fukking proud and stupid to get married, watching consequential money being handed out via the child tax and we can't capitalize. Instead it's going to single mothers who do...whatever single mothers do with government money.


Summarized it perfectly

Exactly. As much as I dislike Trump, he wouldn't allow one senator to block his agenda. He'd bully the fukk of of them until he got his way.

LOL Is this a serious post. Do you not know the history of Trump's presidency and his legislation that got killed by his own party during his term?

I cant tell sometimes with you nikkas. I wanna say this was jokes, but you seem to be seriously claiming that Trump would never let something happen to him that ACTUALLY HAPPENED to him. And we aren't even talking about the layups that are easy to name like his failed attempts to repeal and replace the ACA, Building the wall or his infrastructure failures ALL done by his own party members while he sat powerless to do anything about it (because that's how the country works, Presidents aren't kings, there are checks and balances) but there's a laundry list of failed legislation and broken promises from Trump that were all gutted by having his agenda stalled out completely.


Facts! lol. Its not surprising, but a lot of nikkas clearly don't actually understand or know what the fukk they are talking about in these threads. At ALL.

Like some of these nikkas are straight up embarrassingly ignorant. At least google the shyt before posting.

Edit: Honestly as much as I enjoy mocking nikkas, this shyt is really sad. So much of our electorate have no fukking idea what's going on, and are fueled by emotion and dumb shyt they saw on Fox News or social media. The electorate being uninformed is easily as big of a problem as terrible shyt like lobbying and politicians with conflicts of interest.

So many people here don't know anything about politics and just say a bunch of shyt based on inaccurate/outdated information and/or shyt they heard from youtube morons.

a)Biden is not a failed President. Non-Trump Republicans think he's been pulled too far too the left by Progressives and Progressives think he's not progressive enough. In other words he's doing fine.

-American Rescue plan's was a big legislative package. The child tax credit was huge for working class families.
-The bi-partisan infrastructure bill getting passed was a big achievement. Both Obama and Trump tried to do it and failed for different reasons.
-Successful vaccine rollout across the United States.
-Withdrew troops from Afgan after a 20 year pointless war.
-Appointed more federal judges in his first year since Reagan. And a good portion of those judges come from public advocacy and public defender backgrounds.

Negatives that hurt Biden:
-
Inflation, which wasn't caused by the Biden administration. But it doesn't matter because the President will get blame for things that may not be their fault simply for being in office at the time of the issues.
-13 Marines killed in the effort to withdraw Afgan.
-Supply Chain issues. Luckily Biden's administration has already improved the supply chain and the Wal-Mart CEO gave credit to them for doing so on live TV. Turning a negative into a positive.
-Covid still being an issue. This is a problem because he was partly elected to solve the issue. Yet it keeps coming back and there is nothing they can do about it. They've done all the vaccine promotion & education in the world but there's nothing you can do about people who refuse to take it. People have covid fatigue. People are tired of it.
-Covid Mandates. If people take a step out of the liberal bubble, they would see that this is not popular. More people are willing to be ok with vaccine mandates for hospital workers, but the policies put into place by mayors and governors are only hurting the party as a whole. The Governor of New York has been making everyone wear masks again in public places and it's gotten extreme pushback. Biden's own vaccine mandate via OSHA for companies over 100 workers is sure to go to the Supreme Court. The appeals court just ruled in favor of Biden.
-Voting rights. Manchin and Sinema's refusal to break the fillbuster on voting rights to pass legislation, meanwhile GOP state officials have been going around state to state passing state voting restriction laws with just majority votes.

All in all, if I had to give Biden a grade for the year, I'd probably give him a C+. That's fair.


Now as far as Joe Manchin. Biden has no control over Manchin and he don't have much control over Sinema either. Manchin is in a state that Trump won by like 30, 40%. Which means the more Manchin goes against the Democratic agena and Biden, the more it benefits Manchin politically. No Democrat could beat Manchin in a primary and if Manchin lost his seat, it would be to the most extreme MAGA Republican. They cannot threaten to cut Manchin off financially because Manchin raises a shyt ton of money from the coal industry and from top Republican donors to oppose Democrats.

The suggestion that Trump would have "bullied his way to victory" is false because we seen what happened when Trump & GOP tried to repeal Obamacare. John McCain and a few female GOP Senators said no and the repeal failed.

Progressives were proven right about this whole process. They wanted the infrastructure bill held up and passed at the same time as the BBB bill (terrible name) because they correctly believed if the infrastructure bill was passed before the BBB was passed, they would lose power over the situation and Joe Manchin would end up killing BBB. They ended up being right as of now. Moderates and Pelosi's argument was that Democrats needed a win to brag/campaign on and some momentum considering how they almost lost the New Jersey Governor's race and lost the Virginia's Governor's race. So Pelosi deebo'd progressives into getting the infrastructure bill passed.

Manchin killing this bill does ratfukk Democrats something fierce. Manchin is going to personally benefit from doing this while the rest of the Democratic party is going to get destroyed in the midterms. Republicans will easily win back the House of Representatives and they may win back the Senate too. This means Biden will not pass anything significant through Congress for the rest of his term. His legislation agenda is done and 2024 is in serious doubt.

If McConnell is majority leader in the Senate, he will make sure Biden is not able to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court and he will stop judges (or slow track them) from being approved in the federal benches.
This is the most accurate post in this thread. Straight facts

IMO the BBB bill is massive and not everything in it is vital to America's future. But the child tax credit and universal pre-K are crucial. We need that shyt badly (and i don't even have kids).

What's down right criminal of Manchin is his opposition to voting rights. That should be #1 priority, as if voting is made to be fair & open then at least this country will have a chance in the future. Without it we're veering closely towards fascism. I'm surprised nobody is calling this part out more. the republican party criminals are already taking full advantage of the lack of federal voting regulations.

P.S. anybody propping up trump over biden needs to be thrown in a cage with hungry lions. You mutherfukkers are worthless retarded pieces of shyt. Kill yourselves.

Makes sense why mainstream media wants SO MUCH ATTENTION TO OMNICRON.

I think this has been the most blatant shameless middle finger to all the people who were very skeptical but still decided to support Jim Crow Joe.

This is a wake up call America. The people we put in office to control capitalism and have independent, politically agnostic (CDC, FDA) have all been compromised and made a mess.
