I trust Joe & a rant.

Governing in practice is about getting done what you can get done using the hand you were
dealt. End of story and Joe B knows and works with these parameters 24/7 and he is the
best President of my lifetime.*


With that being said boy does that manufactured "debt ceiling crisis" piss me off along with the
media's "let us look at both sides" coverage.

Trump and the republicans ran up our debt with their 3 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich and Trump's
know nothing understanding of government and economics along with his out and out grifting from
the American people's pockets. The mother fucker cost us how much for his golfing and his grifts went
so far as to having US military flights go out of their way so they could land in Scotland, buy fuel from
some company connected to Trump, and have their crew stay @ Trump's money loosing golf place in
N.E. Scotland but Kevin McCarthy still has the balls to talk about having to contain government spending?

Republicans don't give shit one about the debt unless there is a democrat in the White House by 1935 or
1936 FDR's "New Deal" programs had America almost out of the Great Depression but then the GOP started
screaming about the debt and some of the targeted spending by FDR were cut back and then the Great
Depression came right back.

We need to vote these un-American mother fuckers out of office, we need to bring back Howard Dean's 50
state strategy, and we need to push the reality that the Democratic Party is good for the American People.

A two year deal pushed the next debt ceiling date past the woeful days of McCarthy.
McCarthy wants federal aid programs connected to work. (This is already the case!)
No new taxes (Well we know the GQP will never pass that bill anyway.)

And perhaps no more bs from the GQP other than they will try to take credit for Biden's accomplishments.

and the American people. If the traitor caucus undermines this agreement and we default on our debt there will be no argument about who is to blame, Even the MSM will be hard pressed to blame Democrats.

Hopefully this deal makes it through Congress.

but I always thought that Biden was the best person for the job and knew exactly what he was doing. Initially I worried that maybe he was making a miscalculation. His confidence throughout this eased my fears. He has so much experience with this process that he knew from the start how it would play out. The media never really gives him credit for actually knowing this shit better than anyone, including the media and all the experts. I'm sure some of the talking points that McCarthy is saying now came from Biden but he doesn't even realize it.

They are ignorant of who the repubs are and how they do not care about we the people. repubs only care about the rich and keeping power.
