Biden Appears Visibly Flustered, Defeated in Post-Sinema Speech Interview
2022-01-14
[REDSTATE] It’s been 48 hours since President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....
gave a train wreck of a speech in Georgia and told the American people that if you don’t agree with changing the Senate rules on the filibuster and/or federalizing elections, you are no better than prominent racist Democrats of the past including Bull Connor, George Wallace, and Jefferson Davis.

For those who believed Biden’s campaign promises of being a "uniter in chief," it was a shocking moment, a dramatic turning point in his presidency. For the rest of us who have long been familiar with Joe Biden’s history of fanning the flames of racism for political gain including trying to sabotage the SCOTUS confirmation of Clarence Thomas, it was further evidence that Joe Biden is who we’ve always said he is: one of the most ruthless, cutthroat people in politics when he doesn’t get his way.

What’s happened in that 48 hours since Biden went full-metal woke in front of that Georgia crowd? He’s been roundly criticized, not just by the right but by some on the left as well, including the Senate’s second in command Dick Durbin
...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you? He was the first United States Senator to support the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, then the junior senator from Illinois...
. Much worse than that for him, though, the Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
just blocked him on the private workplace vaccine mandate.

On top of that, Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
...Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
took to the Senate floor earlier today to let Biden know in so many words that his smear tactics from Tuesday will not work on her, and that she is still committed to preserving the filibuster, which pretty much guarantees his agenda will be nuked.

After Sinema’s speech, fellow Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin
...Dem senator-for-life from West Virginia. Manchin is one of the approximately one (okay, two) Dem senators who exhibits more integrity than Jello, often even representing his constituents...
endorsed her statement, saying that "I think it’s the points that I’ve been making for an awful long time and she has, too."

With one loss after another piling up on Biden after his failed attempt
...Curses! Foiled again!...
at strong-arming his political opposition, he appeared before the cameras a couple of hours ago after a private meeting with Senate Democratic leaders (Sinema gave her speech a few minutes prior to that meeting), and the signs of defeat were there. Gone was the "we will get this done" attitude we’ve heard and seen from him in the past. In its place? A visibly flustered Biden, who acknowledged that he didn’t know if "we can get it done".

#7  There was nothing wrong with the economy - other than chronic gummint overspending - until the WuFlu hit.

#6  Unfortunately the economy appears to be (and is) even more visibly flustered and defeated than Biden.

#4  ^Yes. Expect lashing out anger. "Lying Dog-faced Pony Soldier" may have been a high point

#2  Biden can't function now without his teleprompter. He even misreads script.

#1  Getting 'real' now, as the yoot say. Who's next?

Can't possibly be Kackala the Substance Abuser. Who knows what stories her 3,720 ex-staffers are itching to tell?

Da Wookie? Been very quiet lately. Prob'y living it up, pegging Bathhouse in the well, Martha's Vineyard bathhouse.

All roads lead to...
