Stumbling, bumbling Biden desperately searching for distractions

[Counselor706]

Even as President Joe Biden was spewing deplorable falsehoods about his political opponents in Atlanta, the chickens of his administration's economy were coming home to roost. Wednesday's Bureau of Labor Statistics report on inflation, revealing last month's 7% inflation rate, sets yet another 40-year record, harkening back to the bad old days of double-digit interest rates and Paul Volcker's bitter medicine for the economy of the early 1980s.

With this week's report, it is clear that the Biden economy is in an inflation crisis. It is a crisis that neither Biden nor his useless Twitter-addicted senior staff has any clue how to fix. But they have all kinds of ideas about how to make it even worse.

If you're wondering why Biden has become so bitter and vituperative about legislation in Congress that is going nowhere, look no further than these economic results. The average worker in 2021 lost the equivalent of two paychecks due to Bidenflation.

But even as Biden tries his 79-year-old best to sound like his heart is in it, his rhetoric practically glows from its insincerity. It is hard to believe that a president proving to be such a disappointment in so many areas — foreign policy, immigration, the pandemic, the supply crisis, and the economy — is now attempting a massive power grab in the Senate so he can rig elections in his party's favor and do even more damage to the economy through inflationary spending with the barest of legislative majorities.

Makes you wonder why they are focusing on voting rather than trying to look at the economy and see what they need to do (or stop doing).

There were no falsehoods in that speech.

Long term versus short term.

Not to mention Biden spent the past year trying to get BBB through Congress, and even one or two votes from across the aisle would have done it.

That he couldn't get those 1 or 2 votes, despite the numerous attempts by Manchin in negotiation with the WH, ought to tell anyone how absolutely awful BBB really is.

The voting rights bill never got off the ground, let alone into negotiation.

These are the 2 signature bill of Brandon's 1st year and they not only went nowhere, but the Voting Rights Bill went down in flames.


In all of this, I think something else has been lost too. Does anyone realize that right now the Gov is running on a Continuing Resolution that will expire soon? A CR that has little hope of an extension. Which means that in a time of record inflation, a pandemic, and political uncertainty worldwide, many Gov workers are going to be laid off.

Oops...

Biden is a brain dead sock puppet, and anyone who believes anything he says believes the Muppets is a reality show

No, it tells us what we have known ever since the 1994 Republican Revolution: The GOP has better party discipline than the Dems, and is resolved to obstruct anything Dems propose under any and all circumstances, even if it is something that was a Republican idea to begin with, such as the ACA. As one Pub Congresscritter told a Dem who tried to reach across the aisle during the Obama Administration, "You don't understand. We can't afford to let you succeed."

Actually, the Muppets are real people.

And they know where you live.

Sleep tight!
