Blaming Democrats for not passing legislation zero Republicans support.
Biden's fault!
Nothing about the Nazi Traitor Party who want a king not a president.

(46,051 posts)Yesterday, Carville was on Berman's show going on and on about how Democrats aren't selling the reconciliation bill. Even yelling that his mother had sold encyclopedias door-to-door. No one seems to notice that Democrats constantly talk about what's in the bill and the press ignores that and spews garbage about how much the bill costs and how 2 Democrats oppose it.
Today, Stephanie Miller hung up on a regular who was going to rant about how the Democrats never do anything about Trumpians ignoring subpoenas. Hooray. Enough!

(10,434 posts)Berman asked whose fault that was - the media, Biden or Dems in general. Franken basically said all of the above but mostly media who frame things.
Biden and all Dems should always talk about the goals the bills address, whether the media host wants to or not.
I also think they should deal with Manchin and Sinema by publicly listing the good things, then publicly asking what those two want to eliminate to get to their random dollar amount.

(46,051 posts)He's totally right (as are you) that we should bring it up at every opportunity.
I heard something yesterday about what Manchin objects to (anti-global warming initiatives) and Sinema objects to (medicare negotiating drug prices). OMG, could those two be any more corrupt? (Don't answer that, )
FoxNewsSucks
(10,434 posts)That's why I'd like to see them publicly asked to specify what they'd eliminate from the agreed-upon deal.
I sure wish Franken were still in the Senate. Or given a show on TV.

(10,434 posts)The only thing about her that still mystifies me is her friendship with Rachel Maddow. Too bad Maddow hasn't had enough influence on her.
Hortensis
(58,785 posts)entrenched in DC's most exclusive social circles, the ones who "suffer" the traffic of temporary elected officials, like presidents. That's all the reason anyone in politics needs to maintain a "friendship" with her. Plus, socializing only with people who share your views is a recipe for losers when information and contacts, and alliances, are everything. You can bet Maddow has "friends" everywhere.
One big mistake Hillary made when Bill became president was in treating Mitchell like the enemy she already really was. Mitchell and her lcose circle had long been attacking her by spreading vicious lies, such as Hillary's lesbian relationship with her dog groomer. But the first lady is important, if usually looked down on by top society, and when Hillary didn't embrace Mitchell and her poison circle as "friends," constraining pretences were off. "They" included Bill Bradlee (as in WaPo) and his wife, Sally Quinn, who was still a WaPo columnist.

(15,325 posts)First of all, what she's calling out Biden for NOT doing is Actually the Job of the House of Reps Which She is Member Of.
This statement makes zero sense. So why say it?
From Andrea Mitchell to this.

We are literally waiting for your branch of government in order to do all this ..!
Cori Bush
@CoriBush
President Biden promised hed stand up for Black lives. We mobilized in record numbers to deliver him the White House.
Were still waiting for him to step up on ending police violence. On protecting our right to vote. On protecting Black migrants.
Keep your promises, @POTUS.

(46,051 posts)What in hell does she think the executive branch can do? Arrest anyone in Congress who doesn't vote the way they want?
Budi
(15,325 posts)Btw. Black votes delivered Biden the Presidency because of Joe Biden & the Democratic Party.
Rep Clyburn & the CBC sealed that deal long before ..like back in the 2020 Primary
At least state the facts.
Wow.

Sounds almost like Killer Mike on Maher last week, blaming Biden
and as far as the infrastructure bills, the progressive caucus should understand that that Manchin and Sinema dont care if Democrats have the majority. In fact, just before the Democratic primary Manchin made it very clear that if Sanders was the Democratic nominee, he would not support him against trump
That is the reality. Cori Bush speaks for her district. Other representatives speak for their districts.
Perhaps Cori should look at the facts
Biden selected an African American VP
Biden selected the first black Secretary of Defense
Biden selected Cecilia Rouse as the first African American to chair the council of Economic Advisors
Biden selected Michael Regan as the first African American to lead the EPA
African Americans account for 24% of Bidens full cabinet
I could go on with judicial appointments and other area where Biden nominated or appointed African Americans, but more than that, it isnt just African Americans that Biden has appointed, it is women, Hispanics, Native Americans, People from the LGBT community, etc
Budi
(15,325 posts)She needs to delete that statemrnt.
Unless she doesn't give a shit what's posted in her name is truth or blatant lie intending to deceive.
What's her Congressional record of legislative accomplishments, anyway?
Appreciate your post , JohnSJ

FoxNewsSucks
(10,434 posts)Bush isn't completely wrong, as the House has done its job on those issues. To correct her twittering, someone just needs to introduce her to Manchin and Sinema. After all, they are the problem standing in our way, not Biden.
Budi
(15,325 posts)Not President Biden.
These are House matters. Not Executive.
Who wrote this in her twittername?
JFC.

She or whoever wrote that needs to issue a correction.

(11,738 posts)The President executes the laws that are in place.
What law is there that the Congress has passed that Biden can execute to stop police violence and protect voting rights?
What power does the President have unilaterally to stop police violence and protect voting rights?
I am curious, as another poster said, someone needs to explain this tweet.
The migrants, sure. That is something that Biden has more direct control of. From what I understand, the people who were abusing the Haitian refugees are under investigation and are currently off the job pending the findings.

(7,432 posts)Hillary-bashing has only taken a holiday. How do I know this? Andrea Mitchell is still breathing.
When she used to 'interview' candidate Clinton, you could watch her nostrils flare out & the corners of her lips snarl up as she turned that jealous hateful shade of green.
Exactly what the evil queen looked like when speaking to Snow White.
