They're all rooting for Biden to fail

Republicans, Trumpsters, right wing media, anti-immigrant racists, corporations and millionaires whose taxes will go up if BBB is passed. They've been trying to sabotage Biden's presidency since before it even began.

And they're succeeding because all average Americans see and hear about in the news is how awful the country is doing and that it's all Democrats fault.

Average Americans have no long term memory. They've already forgotten about 2020 and how Trump ignored the pandemic and wrecked the economy. They've forgotten about January 6th or never bothered to watch the footage. They've forgotten what happens when Republicans are in power and how they govern.

The only upside is that we're only 10 months into Biden's term. Maybe in 6 months or so the Trump obsessed media will chill out and cut back on the "sky is falling" narrative. And Americans traumatized by the pandemic and Trump’s craziness will take a step back and look at Biden and the Democrats achievements and not focus daiily on what they've yet to achieve. At least we're trying to solve the country's problems. Not ignoring them like the party of no.

Why Trump's Big Lie is so sad

Most normal people knew Trump would never concede if he lost in 2020 and would claim the election was rigged. He's never admitted he's lost any contest in his entire life and always blame's imaginary corruption. It's utterly predictable, pathetic and so transparent it's amazing anyone in America would fall for it. All anyone needs to do is look at his history.

The truly shocking thing would have been for him to concede defeat last November, allow a peaceful transfer of power and attend Biden's inauguration
Right now he'd still be on Twitter and not be under investigation for election interference and staging an insurrection.

Thankfully Trump is a master at self sabotage and continues to shoot himself in the foot by trying to overturn the results of the last election. And he's permanently banned from Twitter which has been a blessing for this country.

If Manchin was smart he would

If Manchin was smart he'd stop announcing he's opposed to ever eliminating the filibuster to raise the debt ceiling. All it does is embolden McConnell to keep blackmailing the President.

Manchin could say he's open to using a carvout in the filibuster rule if McConnell doesn't stop blocking Democrats from passing a debt limit increase on their own with 50 votes.

But Manchin wants everyone in the Senate to like him. And thinks if Democrats say "pretty please" Republicans will agree to work with us to do "what's best for America." LOL.
