United States Biden administration policies and actions - megathread

Reader mode
The "Build Back Better" Plan is officially dead. Manchin gave an interview to Fox News (which is interesting, dunno if he's given one to MSNBC or CNN, they likely would have been screaming at him) where he said "I have done everything humanly possible."

"So this is a No?"

Manchin nodded. "This is a No."

Manchin apparently had something to say on this as well.

Manchin signals he's against changing filibuster rules to pass voting rights bill

"I made no commitments or promises on that."
www.axios.com www.axios.com

Manchin continues to oppose abolishing the filibuster to pass the Voting Rights bill. Assuming he stays on course? This too is likely dead.

Machin apposes that because even if the democrats bill lets them cheat more effectivity...the republicans will still own the house through redistricting alone. The democrats will be the minority in the house for the forseeable future even with maximum cheating. Because of redistricting, and because people are just fucking sick of the lockdown's corruption and bullshit.

Its very much possible that the newly enraged republicans after winning dispite all the cheating will be out for blood and now the dems wont have the fillibuster to protect them from their wrath.

But the current democratic party only sees in the near term so their pissed at Machen for trying to stop them from slitting their own throats.

Not just. They also came up with this highly convincing Acapella group singing about getting a booster.



I'm pretty sure that made you all immediately call up your doctors to schedule a vax/and or booster shot ASAP, right?

Tain't so. This was a serious effort by all indicators, the White House hired acapella group Pentatonix to perform it in belief that it will convince people to get vaxxed and boosted. Surely lyrics like "just like a seat for a little kid, just like the heat from a rocket ship, sometimes all you need is a booster," are filling you with an urge to go get jabbed?

Don't get cocky, and do not get over confident; all this hyping of an inevitable red wave reads a lot like the hype before the 2020 election, and we all know how that went.

yeah the democrats had to put in maximum effort, including quite frankly illegal colusion between the tech industry and the media spent millions upon millions of dollars, cheated on a scale not ever seen before and got caught red handed in several cases and even then only barely squeeked by a win to put some one with demetia in the drivers seat and win a poisoned chalice election.

I don't see the same manic energy from the dems this time, I see a lot of people just plain quitting and giving up, and I see a whole lot of god damned fury in the right and moderates. Sure if they cheat like hell they can blunt the gains, their still losing the house in the best case senerio and still have to spend ever greater reasources on maintianing a losing hand.

All of this costs money, all of this costs resources, I see them crumbling even in a best case senerio. This isn't the end of course not by a long shot but this is the end of the begining.

Maybe so, but I'd rather we don't go into this assuming that we'll win. Even if we do, we'll still have plenty of RINOs around.

2026 for Mitch, not sure for Romney, think it's 2024 he's up for election next.

However getting either out is a challenge; both are pretty well embedded in their districts, and I do not know who could realistically deal with Romney, because Utah and Mormon influence is hard to break into or change.
