What can you do when you've only got 48 votes plus Kyrsten Sinema plus Joe Manchin?

Apply more pressure. Like, put all of your power toward getting them replaced if they don't fall in line. The Bully Pulpit.

Problem is, nobody really likes Biden. Nobody really supports him.

It was always going to be this way. Nobody really voted for Biden. They voted for the idea of getting back to normal.

But because Biden lacks actual support he's weak. This was always going to happen with a president like him.

But he IS less damaging than Trump... At least we've slowed our roll, even if we're still going the wrong direction.

It is clear that Joe Manchin isn't even a democrat. But I find too many democrats to no longer be liberal, and therefore IMO no longer democrat.

When someone praises Hitler it is appropriate to call them on it. But lying sack of shit isn't specific. I think you know the difference.

I do, and me thinks you completely missed on Owens' references.

They Voted For Trump And Then For Biden. Here's What These Swing Voters Think Now

Many moderate Republicans switched allegiances in last year's election and backed Joe Biden because they could not abide four more years of Donald Trump.

These voters, who swung from backing Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020, helped make the difference for Biden in places where the margins were close — often, the suburbs.

So today, about eight months into Biden's presidency, how do these voters view him?

In a pair of virtual focus groups NPR observed last week, featuring more than a dozen such voters from key states, a picture emerged of disappointment with Biden — but no regrets that they helped send Trump packing after one term.............................

Not thrilled with Biden, but absolutely not missing Trump

These two focus groups consisted of all Biden voters, but overwhelmingly they still consider themselves Republicans. They haven't yet left the party, even though they're disillusioned by Trump's ongoing presence and the control he still holds.

In contrast to the majority of Republicans responding to polls, none of these voters falsely believes the 2020 election was stolen.

None said they regret their 2020 vote. And while they may be disappointed in Biden, they absolutely rule out voting for Trump if he runs for president again....................(CONTINUED)

Democrats aren't liberal or conservative. They are anti-Republican. Meaning they will try to raise money and gain votes from people who are not Republicans.

The "IRS monitoring of every transaction in accounts with over $600" will not pass the Republicans in the Senate. It's just a White House proposal that hasn't even been submitted to Congress. Worry about it when and if it goes to Congress and then don't worry about it because Republicans will have nothing to do with it. Hence, it won't even be submitted. Right Wing scare tactic.

Just like "vaccine passports". Just another conspiracy theory.

Such passports should be mandated whenever someone wishes to interact with the public. Wanna stay and let others do your shopping? Fine, no passport required.
