How can one have a plan to move on from a plan when one never implemented the first plan in the first place?
Biden, Democrats prepare to move beyond efforts to woo Republicans
A week and a half into the Biden presidency, Democrats are adopting a more muscular approach to dealing with Republicans, essentially declaring they will work with them if they can but are prepared move past them if they must.
Top Senate Democrats are now working on dual tracks, planning to hold a speedy impeachment trial to avoid derailing President Biden’s legislative agenda while also laying the groundwork for Biden’s covid relief package to pass shortly afterward.
The moves come after Biden launched his administration without Republicans in his Cabinet and started by issuing dozens of executive actions, a clip far more rapid than any of his recent predecessors.
Taken together, the moves are energizing Democrats eager for the party to flex its political muscle. But the tougher approach could also jeopardize one of Biden’s chief goals: achieving more bipartisanship in a capital that has been gripped by polarization.
Many Democrats are concluding that Republicans are unlikely to work with them and that waiting for them to do so would be a mistake. Biden seems to be heeding that argument to some degree.
The two parties will still have numerous opportunities to work together, of course, on issues like infrastructure and foreign policy. But Biden, despite his longtime emphasis on bipartisanship as a principal campaign theme, is signaling that once he has asserted his willingness to work with the GOP, he will not delay his initiatives in hopes that will happen.
Could someone point out what Biden has done so far that in any way resembles unity and bipartisanship? His agenda is far, far left, and his executive orders are anything by ones that are bipartisan or show unity. We’ve had multiple climate cult ones, one that allows federal funds for abortion on demand, ones that protect illegal aliens and stop deportations, climate ones that kill jobs, ones that are about racial divisions, one letting the gender confused in the locker rooms, bathrooms, and showers of girls, while also ruining women’s sports for biological women, paying federal workers $15 an hour minimum, and so much more. There’s very little in the list that could get agreement from Republicans, and the stuff that is not bipartisan certainly overshadows that that is.
And we know so much more is coming, like kowtowing to Iran and China, destabilizing the Middle East, raising taxes, and more. You can bet the next COVID package will be full of lots of unrelated Democrat policies, which means the GOP will not vote for it and will block it in the Senate. And Joe, rather than pushing a “clean” (meaning related simply to COVID), will blast Republicans. Because Unity.
Excitable Russia Teach, like all nuGOPhers, considers cooperation to mean bending to what nuGOPhers want. Typical thinking from privileged and entitled Republicans.
If Republicans will not cooperate of major bills, e.g., Covid relief, Dems will have to go it alone.
Mitch McConnell thinks he is still the Senate Majority Leader. He and trump LOST the Senate. Trump lost the White House. The Dems kept the House.
The Dems need to eliminate the 60 vote threshold in the Senate and rule by simple majority. Elections have consequences, and not just for Republicans.
America and Americans cannot allow themselves to be cowed by the violent threats of the far-right.
So, cooperation is now just bending over and taking it? Y’all Dems weren’t willing to do that during the Bush and Trump years.
Don’t forget, you get rid of the filibuster and you’ll regret it, because the Dems won’t hold the Senate and White House forever. Then you’ll caterwaul when the GOP jams through stuff you hate.
Democrats have proven they can indeed hold everything forever. When you can manufacture as many votes as you need, campaigning and voter ire are all in the past. In 2020, they simply erased massive republican leads. Then did it again in georgia. Republicans who want to keep their jobs ar any cost will indeed bend over.
Mexico will pay for the wall !!
Sorry Teavh but elections have consequences
Biden as the new Hitler.

Bwaha! Lolgf
If they’re gonna have a one party government they need a Hitler (or a Stalin or Xi) to head it. It only makes sense. That’s why the Capitol is under siege and currently occupied by troops. It’s why rather than legislation we have Executive Orders. Who needs a Congress when you have a pen and a phone?
Now he declares an “Emergency” and the marshal law jackboots are ready to move.
When rioters were burning our cities they were “mostly peaceful protesters”, but when real mostly peaceful protesters protested in DC they suddenly became “insurgents” and “traitors”. Funny how the former carried communist and fascist flags and banners but the latter, being actual patriots carried American flags and were immediately labeled “insurrectionists”.
I love the left’s projection. Wanting to overthrow the country and “burn it down” is now okay but marching on DC to demand a Fair Election is considered treason. The Demofascists are altering voting laws illegally. It’s not vote fraud, it’s vote trafficking. They just create & erase votes as needed.
Now check out what the Demofascist billionaires are doing with the GameStop scheme. We are in the same situation as in the election, viz. you are only allowed to participate insofar as you are guaranteed to lose! All of the major trading platforms are either rejecting trades of GameStop and AMC or else not allowing people to even see those ticker symbols. Obviously this is a kind of institutional collusion similar to counting mail in ballots in the dead of night with no form of verification required as to whether the voters are legitimate. It’s a rigged system throughout, where the elites already have an idea of what they want the outcome to be. Neither political populism nor economic populism will be allowed to have a say.
But it’s so damned obvious and in your face now. I think most people, even back in the day figured there were shenanigans going on, but never enough to really corrupt & bring down the system. Now, there’s no fukin pretense. With so many seeing it first hand and seemingly everywhere, how much longer can this shit show continue?
I don’t think we make it out of Biden/Kamala Junta without something major happening that throws over the apple cart. There is no trust left.
Just like voting, media, the arts, education or science the marketplace has been perverted by leftist insiders with special access to both market makers and market regulators. The financial markets are no longer tethered to economic reality they are as much a part of Twitter or Dominion voting machines as is Nazi Pelousy. This whole fukin country has been taken over by grifters and crooks right up to the White House with their stupid “Equity” nonsense.
Biden is not a fraud, he is a very sick guy with advanced mental disease. Now, how can we have any unity when the US was destroyed in the last election with the big steal.
davos,
You have advanced mental disease. And you had less capacity to begin with.
The election was not stolen although Donnie tRump tried to steal it.
Keep repeating the lie Jeff and even you might believe it. The major proof was Biden saying that he would commit voter fraud.
devo,
You even lie to support your lies.
deviant7134 typed: “The major proof was Biden saying that he would commit voter fraud.”
Here’s what Mr Biden said:
“Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together, and you guys did it for our administration — President Obama’s administration before this — we have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.â€
He was talking about fighting voter fraud, not committing it, you idiot.
Even tRump’s personal network FOX “News” was referring to it as a “misspoken claim†and reporting, “Biden may have been referring to his campaign’s massive ‘election protection program…’
If that’s your “major proof” and your “major proof” is false, what does that say about your thesis?
Mr tRump lost the election, bigly.
Here’s the entire transcript of the interview (Caution: it’s lengthy and contains big words AND nice things about Barack Obama).

So no, Mr Biden did not admit to committing voter fraud. If you still believe he did you’re either a liar or an idiot. Which are you?
Well there you have it the lyin’ little pussy Rimjob offers Snopes as proof!!!
Or something.

Could be true-Thanks China Joe! https://i0.wp.com/www.powerlineblog.com/ed-assets/2021/01/Laughing.jpg?w=1160&ssl=1
Then investigate and p[rove it wasn’t stolen. 80 million people await your attention to their concerns. If you’re not lying and covering up you have nothing to worry about. You spent 2-3 years investigating the 2016 election why then is this any different?
You are all scared shitless which is why you turned DC into a Fortress America and why you outsourced speech censorship to the media and your billionaire friends in social media and now Wall Street. YOU ARE ALL CORRUPT LIARS or you would investigate this atrocity.
Kye,
You make the false claim so YOU need to present credible evidence the election was stolen.
You can’t still believe that tRump won. That’s not a sane position.
The states in question have GOP majorities in their legislatures and are free to investigate for 2-3 years. Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin have Republican majorities in their Houses and Senates. You may not understand this but each state regulates their own elections. Do you advocate that the federal government take control of the state by state elections?
No matter how loudly you scream or how forcefully you stamp your feet, it takes evidence to overturn an election (unless you support a successful coup). Evidence, not tantrums.
Donald Trump collected a quarter billion dollars to fight the result and hired the best legal team in American history to contest the election. They failed to disclose any evidence to overturn the election results. In fact, their efforts in court were laughable but their media efforts were very productive in persuading supporters (and importantly, donors!) that a massive fraud had been committed. Their propaganda was so persuasive that supporters tried to overturn the election by a violent assault on the US government!
Talk to a trusted professional about your delusions.
Teach should do you all a favor and admit that there’s no credible evidence to support the primary delusion that the election was stolen or that “the fix was in”.
It will allow you to get on with your lives, such as they are.
