After a multi-day standoff filled with plenty of Democrat-on-Democrat combat, President Joe Biden came to Capitol Hill on Friday with his agenda in doubt and delivered a clear message to a fractious party: Come on, man.
A simple half-hour kumbaya session between Biden and House Democrats on Friday afternoon seemed to forestall an imminent collapse of the party’s marquee policy package: a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal, as well as a separate, still-undefined, multi-trillion dollar economic and social policy plan.
But it also meant that Democrats were set to leave Washington this week without any agreement on the bills and without any timeline on passage. “It doesn't matter if it's in six minutes, six days, or six weeks. We're gonna get it done,” Biden told reporters as he departed the Capitol.
**SNIP**
Moderates, of course, stewed, as they’ve pushed for immediate passage of the bipartisan bill. Progressives took a victory lap, as they’ve maintained this strategy is the only way to ensure that the rest of Biden’s agenda is preserved. And Democratic leadership seemed happy just to avert a crisis in which progressives publicly sink the infrastructure bill and heighten tensions between them and the moderates.
**SNIP**
Biden’s message to all factions was clear, however: Everyone would have to sacrifice something in order for them to achieve both bills.
And those sacrifices could be significant. Lawmakers have already laid the groundwork for legislation as vast as $3.5 trillion, a historic price tag that could cover a laundry list of Democratic priorities, from combating climate change to expanding Medicaid and beyond.

Ditch coulda helped America out by throwing a wrench into the CR.
But no, his caucus wants a vacation from all of their hard work of late [****cough****cough****].
The only “real deal” we can hopefully look forward to.. is nothing. We all do best if this all collapses, and they don’t get anything.
I have never been so ashamed of this nation as these last 10 months, and I just hope I can make it until retirement in 5-7 years.
Then it’s time to be an expat.
So, now that the bills are once and finally linked, as the communists insisted, then a vote for one is a vote for both.
This is going to bring further shame on a while bunch of Rinos in Congress.
It’s a scam. Biden will get everything he wants because the real power behind the curtain will make sure of it.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s in six minutes, six days, or six weeks. We’re gonna get it done,” Biden told reporters...
I knew it! Biden is evil! (six six six). /S
Joking aside - Satan has a world full of useful idiots.
ln 2018, a progressive wave swept into Congress, surrounded by a celebrity bubble that tells them they are not only right, but in the majority. They now have sympathetic Democrats in charge of the House, the Senate and the presidency.
They decided to go for broke. The result?
The For the People Act died in the Senate.
The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act died in the Senate.
Amnesty died in the Senate.
Corporate tax increases died in the Senate.
The Equality Act died in the Senate.
Filibuster reform died in the Senate.
The Green New Deal died in the Senate.
Reconciliation died in the Senate.
Now the progressives will kill the bipartisan infrastructure plan, which included some of what they wanted, because it is not enough. They will take no wins unless they can have all the wins. Zealots always prefer to live in hell if they can’t get Heaven exactly as they want it. h/t Erick Erickson

Obama lost bigtime———Repubs control redistricting.
This is how pols steal our tax dollars-——none of these trillions will benefit taxpayers.
Biden’s massive spending plans also includes inanities like:
$3 billion for ‘tree equity’,
$12 billion for electric cars,
$1 billion more to turn government facilities into ‘high-performance green buildings’
plus millions more for illegals, gender identity and bias training.
More importantly, the entire Biden Crime Family.......even the littlest Bidens.......all get to be multi-billionaires.

Barack (”I got mine, suckers”) Obama fit right into The Swamp.
Suckled at the teat of the Chicago Democrat crime machine, his thieving skills are second to none.
The halfrican never met a decent, honest pol his whole life.
Corrupt Biden as his vp pick was a natural.
It don’t matter they always gel together. On the other hand the Republicans RINOS always stab their base on the back! One way or the other I can guarantee you 3.5 or 1.5 or 2.5 trillion it don’t matter it’s going to pass, get ready for it.
Where are you thinking of going?
Don’t be fooled by all this. When it’s all done, the $3.5 trillion deal over 10 years will become a $1.75 trillion deal over 5 years.
