Today In Biden Land

[Kirkland Laing]

140 000 voters leaving the GOP is a rounding error out of 75 million votes cast last November. Party registration always jumps around a lot. I would still bet that the next election comes down to tens of thousands of votes either way in a few battleground states like the last two have which means the current GOP gleichschaltung programme detailed in that autopsy report is even more horrific. Here's another part of it:

Interestingly Biden's very popular infrastructure bill becomes even more popular when voters hear the money to pay for it will come from increased corporate taxes. Here's the GOP counter offer such as it is:

The party of the working classes.



And if you thought the Nazi reference above was unfair then you have to deal with the fact that the GOP is currently normalising white supremacy and making it acceptable to Americans. This is not promising for America's future at all:

If you say it is a rounding error, ok. The way I read the article wasn't so much about the party losing voters, it was about why there was a surge in voters changin over a short period.

People leave parties for various reasons but this was an instance of raising the question- how many left as a response to January 6th.

The biggest spikes in Republicans leaving the party came in the days after Jan. 6, especially in California, where there were 1,020 Republican changes on Jan. 5 — and then 3,243 on Jan. 7. In Arizona, there were 233 Republican changes in the first five days of January, and 3,317 in the next week.


I would also agree the next election will come down to what you stated. The country has always voted around 50-48 with a 2% demographic that is swayed from one party to the other.

President Biden has decided to withdraw military forces from Afghanistan by September 11, 2021,
This quote got me: "An Afghan government official texted a response to the news: "Well we now have to charter our own way forward."
Well, yeah, that was supposed to have occurred decade ago at least!

$50K of student loan forgiveness would wipe out federal debt for 36M, new data shows

This quote gets me: top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, is stuck in the middle of the struggle, said she's crafting a "conceptual Republican bill" that includes investments in roads and bridges.

"We're working on that right now. We haven't made consensus on it," she said.



Republicans had the house, senate & oval office and weren't held accountable. So we're right back where we always end up. One party saying no to something needed, then offering nothing in return.

One thing I will say about Biden- sure is nice to know our president isn't being flown around to golf resorts to rallies that sell foreign merchandise in USA's name.


Wonderful knowing we have a president that allows Twitter to be a social platform, not a presidential bullhorn to shit out tweets of malice.


A chance to give him- a chance.
Hold Both parties accountable for presenting bills, or countering bills as opposed to lip service.

Yeah give him a chance. I don’t like that he says he can’t do two things at once but not everyone can multi task. I hope he does well.

Multitasking is great when it's relative to the job. Playing golf, doing I am the world tours IMO isn't the best way to show one's ability to do several things at once.

Really a shame another election and we're rehashing the same topic(s) president after president after president.
If infrastructure can be tackled that will take both parties. Hopefully neither stands in the other's way.

I can definitely get behind a true infrastructure bill. Deficit spending is a major issue but when your spending on this that keep shit moving that can collapse on peoples heads and what not it makes sense. I remember an article I think it was the Japanese pm taking a tour with Schwarzenegger or another governor he was looking at the state of LA infrastructure and he said, “fixing this shit now is gonna be cheaper than doing it when it completely rots” I mean that’s what we try to do with our homes and shit try to avoid major expensive fixes down the line by keeping up with shit.I drive on one of FDR’s projects during the Great Depression regularly. It is kept up but it two lanes and it was built for traffic speeds, cars and congestion of the era. It’s like a death trap now. Takes me right to NY get in the left lane I find myself doing 90mph to keep up with the flow of traffic then you hit these curves everyone brakes to 50mph it’s like a race track. I head out west see those newer roads what a difference. A good infrastructure bill would make sense. But where will it go? Will it be in name only? I hope we can get something right I’ve driven on some highways in China that were beautiful but no one wants to drive on the damn things because of all the tolls. But they were beautifully built roads.
