like Obama, Joe Biden’s Obsession With Bipartisanship Doomed His Presidency From the Start

[pknopp]

Pure nonsense. Republicans defend the policy of no negotiations over drug prices, just let them charge what they want, corporations are our friends lol. You have no idea what is going on and no idea what should be done. Change the channel.

Republicans do. I do not expect them to do the right thing.

Once again the Democrats want to do the right thing and are obstructed by GOP scum bags.

Joe Biden’s Obsession With Bipartisanship Doomed His Presidency From the Start

Joe Biden’s obsession with bipartisanship for its own sake made him a risky bet as leader. Now, with the prospects of the Build Back Better bill seemingly waning, it may have unraveled his presidency.

Joe Biden’s obsession with bipartisanship for its own sake made him a risky bet as leader. Now, with the prospects of the Build Back Better bill seemingly unraveling, it may have unraveled his presidency.

Officially, the Build Back Better (BBB) bill, once the centerpiece of Joe Biden and the Democrats’ ambitions, has merely been “shelved.” But with West Virginia senator Joe Manchin now nickel-and-diming Biden on even extending the Child Tax Credit — meant to be the most popular and uncontroversial part of the party’s agenda, and to date the only major new policy introduced by Biden — it’s hard to see how it could make a comeback between now and the midterms.

Of the many themes that thread their way through Biden’s history, two stick out. One is the vocal hostility to (nonmilitary) deficit spending and obsession with government debt that he was known for during his long decade in the Senate. The other is his almost total inability to stand up to the Right, usually by being steamrolled by Republican negotiators (a failure he’s then tended to cast as the noble art of compromise), or in the form of a hokey belief in bipartisanship for its own sake.

Neither BO or Thief in Chief Biden are the least bipartisan. LOL.

1. to survive, we are going to have to EVENTUALLY work together.
2. Biden is far from a bridge builder.

The GOP has been pure obstruction since Reagan and Rupert Murdock and Rush and now internet crazyies.... Murdoch is an international pariah and well-known scumbag who is on a tight leash everywhere but here, and for good reason as anyone can see. Pure misinformation with no conscience.

The more they obstruct, the better I like them.

 

[bripat9643]

Conservatives want another civil war. They serve the confederate flag. Traitors.

Lincoln was the traitor. The Constitution defines treason thusly:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.​

​

Lincoln invaded Virginia. He made war on Virginia. The confederates states did nothing treasonous.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Lincoln invaded Virginia. He made war on Virginia. The confederates states did nothing treasonous.

Projection. Conservatives still think the civil war was “northern aggression.” Fuck the Confederacy. They will always be traitors.

So seceeding and attacking forts is not treasonous. Another example of the rich Southern Conservative assholes pulling the wool over the eyes of their base lol to save a failing and disgraceful industry.... Not slavery this time but big oil big pharma big health Savage capitalism etc...

 

[francoHFW]

So You are against health care daycare paid parental leave cheap college and training great infrastructure and vacations and taxing ONLY The rich and giant corporations their fair share..... Brilliant. You are what is known as a brainwashed functional moron. You don't know what Democrats want and you have no memory for what Republicans have done the last 30 years. The stupidest wars ever, allowing 9/11 through sheer incompetence, And of course the corrupt bubbles and busts and depressions every time they get eight years in office. Not to mention the huge giveaway to the rich and the screw job for you, dumbbell. Change the damn channel and get reality.

 

[francoHFW]

What "bipartisanship?

Trying to get Republican input on infrastructure of all kinds and way overdue social reform every other modern country has already. The usual list. Of course no sacrifice is too great to save the greedy idiot mega rich GOP from paying their fair share.

 

[bripat9643]

Projection. Conservatives still think the civil war was “northern aggression.” Fuck the Confederacy. They will always be traitors.

That's exactly what it was, moron. Where was the First Battle of Bull Run fought? Was Virginia a Union state?

 

[bripat9643]

Nope. Not when those forts are located on your territory.

Another example of the rich Southern Conservative assholes pulling the wool over the eyes of their base lol to save a failing and disgraceful industry.... Not slavery this time but big oil big pharma big health Savage capitalism etc...

To Abolish slavery isn't why Lincoln invaded Virginia, moron. Lincoln admitted that much.

 

[bripat9643]

All of that was in the bill? I didn't know that.

Yes, I do know what Democrats want. That's why I'm terrified whenever they get their hands on the wheel of government.

In other words, no bipartisanship.

As I said - Fuck the Confederacy. They’re treasonous losers. Every confederate flag should be burned.
