The Biden administration is officially out of ideas

[Counselor706]

This past week, Democrats shelved the so-called “Build Back Better” bill until next year, after it failed to gain the support of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

Because the Senate is split 50-50 between the parties, Manchin’s vote is crucial. Given that every Republican plans to oppose the multi-trillion dollar bill, which will evade the 60-vote filibuster rule through “reconciliation,” every Democrat’s support is needed to match the GOP and allow Vice President Kamala Harris to cast the tie-breaking vote.

It was all that Biden had left of his agenda, after several of his campaign promises faltered or failed.

The Biden administration is officially out of new ideas, and will enter 2022 with the same proposals it failed to pass this year. The talk in political circles is not what Biden will propose next year, but which Democrats might replace him in the White House.

They can't legalize pot, because that's too divisive. So, instead they will have to focus on the 2.2 trillion dollar left wing spend-a-thon.

This is what a dysfunctional government looks like.

It's what a dysfunctional people looks like. Too many voting Republican.

Its only divisive to legalize pot because bigots gotta be bigots and something that would make life better for colored people must be blocked at all costs. 2.2 Trillion is, like Obama's 'similar' bill much too small for what we need to do and where we need to get.

You're saying that build back better is more likely to pass than pot legalization?

No. No, I call bullshit.

The truth is that the Dems have no intention of legalizing pot.

Of course it is.

 

[LittleDixie]

Of course it is.

Because fewer Democrats support pot legalization.

Several Republicans support it in the Senate at least.

Schumer made a bill and the Republicans played along with it.
