Yo! Who lit a fire under Biden's ass?

Dude has been on fire today, calling out Republicans all over the place. Calling out Marge for her $100K PPP business forgiveness loan, and calling out a Florida Congressman (I forget his name) for accepting 2.3 million dollars in PPP forgiveness loans despite both campaigning against student loan forgiveness.

I don't know what happened, but this is the content I'm here for. Keep it up Mr. President! Your country and your party needs this.

Joe knows politics, he's been doing it for 50 years. Now is the time to bring out the big guns.

The people who have bought into the narrative that he's senile are going to be surprised when the 2024 debates come around. Joe will probably benefit from the low expectations that the right has created.

they need to act from now on, calling out Republicans for what they DO, rather than addressing their fake outrage over nothing.

The Third Way of making meaningless mouth noises about helping middle class families (like anybody can afford that any more) just caused people to tune out, and rightly so. Nobody gave a shit for the working stiffs that make the country run.

Identifying and shaming the Republican greedheads who get in the way of what little we do get is a good first step.

We can all say these things about the the grifters pulling in the cash and denying it to others, but when he says it, it gets some attention. It may be twisted by others, it may be passed off as just politics, but more ears listen when the President says it.

It’s possible they have finally realized what their bothsiderism and unchecked lies have created and out of nothing but a sense of self-preservation have decided it’s time to pump the brakes. Journalist tend not to do so well in fascist countries.

Mostly, that's why services are so poor in R run areas. Subjective and my opinion of course, so take that as it stands...

Rope a Dope and the GOP played right into Biden's hands.. He laid low, took care of business while the GOP obstructed, lied and flung poo, all the while thinking Biden was weak. Like all Bullies, they were all mouth, until suddenly Biden, with great timing, laid a few haymakers on them. Now they can't attack Biden because they wore out their attack plan, and Biden has control of the fight now.

Needed to start doing this months ago. Both Schumer and Pelosi should have been taking every opportunity they could to remind Americans how bad the GOP is from DT on down. Because the “corporate news network” certainly won’t.

Dems are always slow it seems on the uptake of opportunities the gop has been handing them on platter for several years now.

The GOP/DT’s fraud, obstruction, pandemic response (over 1 million Americans dead), doubling the national deficit, women's right, guns, etc, etc, etc.

Hopefully we have dodged a bullet and will retain the majorities in both house & senate due to the GOPs self inflicted wounds.
