Big joe certainly has it pretty hard in his first year, Afghanistan, the supply chain problems / inflation, and a lopsided civil war in the Democrat party(where the minority seem to be the most powerful). Certainly makes them look bad an incapable of getting anything done. I'm not American though so my main concern is the climate change stuff hopefully they don't bugger up the rest of the world just so some guys can keep digging coal in Virginia.

Funny how people perceive these plans too, old Joe has said many times the only taxes they will be raised are on people earning 400 000+ a year and they want get get some tax on the super rich and get the corporations to actually pay tax but the general public see this as an attack on them?... Weird, hopefully this madness doesn't spread north.

House Passes $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill, Putting Social Policy Bill on Hold https://nyti.ms/2YkFq5E

Americans pass their infrastructure bill, NYT praises biden, I'm not so sure, I think losing the Virginia governership is wot did it... I think the progressives got buggered here as there's no way the social safety net bill doesn't get reduced from here, but good on em for passing this one :S...


Here's to many more years of rising temperatures!

Chalk one up for the current administration, I guess. Infrastructure is an issue no one in their right mind will argue against. At least no one who drives over bridges or has been smacked by power outages. Who cares if it costs $1 trillion. It's not like anyone in recent memory has cared about the deficit anyway. That'll continue being someone else's problem to grapple with.

Baby steps...

Biden did need a life preserver tossed to him after the beating he's taken for several months now.

Rightwingers have mentioned deficit more times in the pass year, than the previous four years, but we knew that would occur.

Another reason why I state mainstream media is just that...not leftist...this administration has done more for those bankrupted by bad ass student loans, horrible colleges...the student debt being wiped away is a tremendous win for the middle class.

Why on earth won't MSNBC, CNN per cable and the main leftist bloggers, internet liberal champs like (ROF) Ring of Fire to David Pakman-these subscribed Youtube channels will not touch such a victory-of-a-story.

They are ALL TOO BUSY still keeping DonaldDaft relevant.

Good win on infrastructure- but those who did....know the HATE of the RIGHT- Views this as a payback crew...They want revenge.

Meet the 13 Republicans who voted for the infrastructure bill
Thirteen Republicans pushed the bill through despite opposition from progressive members of the House


In my boldest opinion- this is a HIT piece. They know---their viewers know how to interpret these words
Here are the GOP members who pushed the bill across the finish line.


That means- pay them a visit, curse them out, threaten them. And so the article gives you this:

Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska

Bacon has represented Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District since 2017.

Bacon told Axios that he faced a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't choice with the bill, telling the outlet he did what he felt was right when he voted for it.

"You vote one way, maybe it hurts in the primary," he said. "You vote the other way ... in my district, it'd hurt me in the general." He said he felt "pressure" from his GOP colleagues on the floor to vote against the bill, but maintained that his constituents supported the legislation overall.

"I helped draft this bill," Bacon told Axios. "To do a flip wouldn't have been appropriate. Wouldn't have been right." He maintained that even if he faces a primary challenge because of his vote, he remains confident he will win.

Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania

Fitzpatrick represents Pennsylvania's 1st Congressional District, which includes all of Bucks County and a portion of Montgomery County.

Click on the link to see how thorough FOX dispensed who these Republicans are.

To be fair, almost all of the media outlets- introduce them..tells me all media left and right are more alike than we want to agree on.


I suspect they will join the ranks of judges, cops, politicians receiving death threats

Interesting that some of the 13 Republicans that voted for the bill will NOT be seeking reelection. At that point... what have they got to lose? They're out either way.

Sad how you practically have to commit political suicide to vote with what your gut and common sense tells you.

The two-party system has always had its pitfalls. They've only become more accentuated since Trump.

Here's an interesting article on the matter.

Fun Fact:

This far into his Presidency... Biden has the lowest approval rating of ANY President since tracking of this sort of thing began with Harry S. Truman.

With one exception.

Trump.

Kinda makes one want to jump for joy, huh?

And everytime mainstream media does a hitjob on Biden, the right claim (oh, finally) after each article, passing day,weeks, months same response, oh finally.
The media knows how easy people forget. Forget that he wasn't popular. Ever. Obama didnt even want to back him.....until he won the nominee.
We remember though! It was about Warren, Sanders...to a degree Bloomberg.
