So Kasie Hunt is claiming that Biden's changed filibuster position will have a negative affect! WTF?

1. Kasie Hunt is an idiot. MSNBC was lucky to be rid of her

[Budi]

3. Isn't her husband an executive producer or something like that?

He's not a Dem friendly guy either.
Guess it doesn't matter when the bottom line is the focus.

[Budi]

2. Expect nothing less than a Biden diss from Kasie Hunt

She's always been very good at the spin.

👎 yawn....

[PatSeg]

5. And she has never been very good at her job

She was given so many opportunities on MSNBC to further her career and she was just awful. I never understood why she was given a two hour time slot on Sunday nights. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but it was painful watching her.

4. Not what she said...

She said that if the Filibuster had been Biden's FIRST Priority, he might have gotten it passed in his honeymoon (post 1/6) period.

And that it will be much harder now with his lower approval ratings.

No "dig" here.

[Budi]

10. Well ya, Ms Hunt! Easy Peasy. Eh? So when was that official "honeymoon phase"?

Kasie Hunt's 'opinion' is vapid considering this is Biden's 1st year & considering WTF HE WAS HANDED TO FKING FIX IN THE "Honeymoon Phase"

Ya know what Kasie Hunt! Joe Biden didn't have the priviledge of a fking honeymoon phase.

No clue or deliberate diss. Hard to tell which applies here.

13. Biden's approval rating was in the high 50s through June...

...If he couldn't get it passed in the early months, how can he get it passed now?

[Budi]

14. I see why Kasie Hunt is worthy of your defense.

Whoosh....

Biden was sending out Stimi cks & child tax credits. Finally someone was addressing Covid like he gave a shit. He told & showed the country "I Hear You!". The lives of millions forgotten by trump were finally churning forward again.
Yes. His approval was high & then he addressed Afghanistan. And pushed for his BIF & BBB and Kasie Hunt sorta skipped right over the rapid fire work Biden was engaged in while seating his Cabinet, and all the while looking at a sliver of a majority to get the next thing passed..... etc.

[brooklynite]

15. So you're saying he COULDN'T have eliminated the filibuster in the early months if he wanted to?

In which case, he's unlikely to be able to do it now. That's the fundamental point she's making. Not that he SHOULD have done it.

[Budi]

17. No. I'm saying Kasie Hunt has no clue of the conditions of Biden's 1st year to make a dumb pointless

..statement that she lays at Biden's feet while giving a complete pass to the partisan obstructing of his every move.
He still hasn't had the approval of his ambassadors.
Rand Paul is STILL holding back the funding of Iron Dome protections that were approved by a vote.

She makes it sound like it was easy peasy to get this passed, but fails to mention that the exact same obstrutionists that stubbornly sit there today, were all stubbornly sitting there in that endearing 'honeymoon phase', which Biden briefly had. That never changed.

Not a clue or intentional diss? Appears to be both.

I'm done dicussing the simple thoughts of K Hunt.

[brooklynite]

21. She said "might"...

[George II]

29. That's a journalistic soft-shoe. Just like "it has been reported", or "people have said", etc.

If she said it, she means it regardless of "might".

[JohnSJ]

18. So in her wisdom, Manchin would have been fine removing the filibuster a year ago, but based

on Biden’s low approval, with the help of the illustrious MSM, he won’t go for it now

Bull pucky

[Celerity]

20. Yes, that is what she is actually saying (I disagree with her btw) not what the OP claims.

[JohnSJ]

24. I know, it is a ridiculous speculation with no merit

[Celerity]

27. Manchin and Sinema were never letting go of the 60 vote bar for cloture. That much most should

know by know. I started to realise it back in the late spring, early summer, have now been convinced for months.

[JohnSJ]

28. Unfortunately

[Celerity]

19. +1 Correct again.

It's a trend!

[Budi]

6. Man, Nicole Wallace has some credible guests on today.

Marc Elias on now. The Voting Rights Lawyer of all VR Lawyers.

[Botany]

7. 100% republican operative or she is on "their payroll" somehow.

She is going for the money.

"It’s a much steeper climb now, as his approval rating downward trend clearly shows."

[JustAnotherGen]

8. Jesu Christo

The hell is wrong with her? That's HER opinion until she provides a detailed piece of journalism fact checked and supported by data.

[Polly Hennessey]

9. She has never recovered from her massive crush on Paul Ryan.

[ForgedCrank]

11. HAHA!

I needed that laugh. Gave me a pretty good chuckle.

[Budi]

12. Haaahaa. Kinda glad I missed that one.. 😬

Yikes. Eddie Munster??

[madaboutharry]

16. She exemplifies The Peter Principle.

She was a decent Capital reporter, but that was her limit. She was awful once they brought her into the studio.

And now CNN is paying her a big salary and she mistakenly thinks that means she’s smart.

[Celerity]

23. CNN is building quite the stable of asshats, lol. Chris Cillizza a sone of the lead show ponies.

[Budi]

26. Pays to have an exec producer for her hubby. Job security & a high$$ paycheck

Oh well.

[rockfordfile]

22. yeah that person is a right-wing hack.

DeSantis and gop govs are at fault for kids getting infected in schools. DeSantis has turned FL into a cesspool.

[WHITT]

25. Gee Kasie

early on, Biden was a little busy trying to prevent MILLIONS OF AMERICANS from dying because of Donnie's failed response to covid, while digging the national economy out of the ditch Donnie drove it into.

[dem4decades]

30. I'll never forget her defense of Majority Leader Paul Ryan, she couldn't defend him enough.

She kept saying "He got caught flat footed" when Ryan failed to respond to Republican dirty deeds. It was as if she was infatuated with him, and she wanted to be respected as a newsman? Sorry dear, you fail.
