Joe Biden Makes Idiotic Comments During Bumbling Capitol Hill Visit
Here’s How We Know Joe Biden’s Meeting With House Democratic Caucus Was an Epic Failure
I’ve lost count of the number of days/weeks this has been going on but the Democrats are still in disarray at this hour and we know that because of what’s been reported to have taken place during the meeting President Joe Biden had with the House Democratic caucus earlier today to try to resolve the ongoing infighting over the infrastructure and reconciliation bills, as well as what he said afterward.
POTUS arrived in a blaze of glory with his handlers and key members of the House Democratic caucus including Speaker Nancy Pelosi alongside him. As per the norm, no questions were taken from the press — which would end up being a sign of things to come at the closed-door meeting and after.
First and foremost on the agenda for discussion was the infrastructure bill. According to Politico Congressional reporter Sarah Ferris, during the meeting, Biden apparently gave his .02 on what was going on, although what wasn’t clear was whether or not his remarks were scripted, as is often the case when he speaks before an audience.
What she did say that was quite illuminating, however, was that once he concluded his remarks, Biden offered to take questions from the Democratic House members who were assembled — but his handlers “jumped in” and shut him down.
“INSIDE the caucus: At the end of his remarks, BIDEN offered to take questions from members but his staff jumped in. He didn’t take any questions,” Ferris tweeted.
Perhaps the reason why Biden got shut down by his own staff was because they don’t want him to blow up whatever inroads he might have made with Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema over the last few days regarding the highly-debated “topline numbers”:
Per Ferris, “Biden explained that this range comes from his conversations with Manchin and Sinema. They’re not discussing these specific toplines per se, but WH has been assembling all the different programs they *do* support and this is roughly how much they’d cost.”
In other words, Manchin and Sinema are still in the driver’s seat.
When the meeting was over, Biden sent strong signals that the meeting was a failure by indicating a timeline for “getting this done” no longer matters, which will be interesting news for moderate House Democrats who had already suggested that failure to move by the end of September would be “catastrophic.”
Watch the video below as Biden nukes talk of a timeline for getting the infrastructure bill passed and snaps at a reporter who asks why he can’t unify the party:
Well, it is now October 1st, and it’s safe to say that House and Senate Dems and all the various warring factions within are in “catastrophic” mode and with no end in sight.
I think it’s safe to declare at this point that the Democrat Civil War is officially underway, and considering it’s ramping up as we head into the 2022 midterms, we are so here for it.
Joe Biden, who has good days and bad days, was apparently lucid enough to appear in public today. Amidst all the chaos on Capitol Hill over the far-left reconciliation package, the president set forth in order to help the negotiations. If reports are any indication, he did the opposite, but that was to be expected. Biden’s ability as a legislative mastermind has always been a myth, after all.
And is it really surprising that he didn’t convince Kyrsten Sinema or Joe Manchin to betray their constituents when this is the kind of commentary he brought?
Biden is right in one regard. A defeat of both bills would indeed be a gift to Republicans, who are more than content to let Democrats destroy themselves. Yet, he couldn’t just leave it at that. Instead, he had to invoke January 6th because the left in this country literally has nothing left. Further, Biden essentially saying “Do what I want or there will be violence,” is as anti-democratic of a position as I can think of. This guy is a tyrant at heart, using lies and veiled threats in order to get his way. That is when he’s not passed out in the White House basement because he’s so addled.
Do you know what people suffering under the current runaway inflation don’t care about? January 6th. Do you know what people who have their retirement in stocks don’t care about? January 6th. No one outside the beltway is still obsessing over a three-hour ordeal in which the only person who was purposely killed was shot by a police officer. There are also serious questions about what actually transpired after a judge forced the release of surveillance footage prosecutors had tried to keep hidden (see The Feds Are Forced to Release January 6th Surveillance Footage and Narratives Crumble).
Regardless, nothing Biden said today moved the needle. In fact, he seemed to double down on the very aspects of the reconciliation process that are so offputting to the moderates that hold all the leverage. Biden is classic “BSer,” and he’s learning quickly that he can’t “C’mon, man” his way past this legislative roadblock. Flailing about, bringing up January 6th isn’t going to convince Manchin to nuke his state’s economy, and we all know Sinema just doesn’t care about anything.
I would posit that what we are witnessing is the last gasps of a broken party that knows it’s about to get shellacked in next year’s elections. The disarray we are seeing right now didn’t develop overnight. It’s been building for a very long time, going all the way back to the Trump years. Things are just now starting to boil over, and I don’t think there’s any putting the water back in the pot. The Democrat coalition is too damaged, and their “leader” is a senile old man who can’t do anything but mumble about January 6th and vaccine mandates.
