    Was it the expense or was it rudeness?

    "It's staff-driven. I understand staff. This is not the president. This is the staff," Manchin said about his rocky relationship with the White House.


    What was that all about? We want to know. So, is Biden running things or is the staff making the decisions?

    Joe Biden is not capable of running things -- aside from his dementia, he has no executive ability. He's controlled by socialist gnomes.

      Biden is trying to pass legislation with zero votes to spare and a diverse Senate caucus. If he gets there he will have accomplished more than his predecessor in that respect, whose big move besides cutting taxes for his own industry was to try to remove Federal protection for pre-existing medical conditions.

      Biden also pushed for boosters while the eggheads we're debating the importance of their own opinions on the matter, and even the Euros were throwing darts at him. That looks prescient now.

      In any case it's a free country, sorta, still, which means that lots of people who don't know how dumb they themselves really are will continue to write blogs and make YouTube vids about how senile Biden supposedly is.

        Face it; Biden isn't doing anything. You can put Biden at the first of a sentence, but deep down you should know he is missing in action.

          Zero is right. It's a stand off. Two lonely dissidents. It's a western. Federal protection for pre-existing medical conditions; People get old and get sick and die, there's not enough money to prevent that. Biden isn't a perfect idiot. I don't slam him much, except for the liberal stuff. It's too easy for liberals to go with the, it's for the children, it's for the poor immigrants, it's for equality for all (actually, that one I like). You may as well blast 2 trillion into the sun if you think the money will fix everything.

            The problem with your definition of 'nothing' is the way you define 'something'.

              The key to being an effective President is to accomplish something. Trump accomplished a rising economy, with minorities doing even better relatively than Whites, low energy prices, low inflation, very low illegal immigration, and so on. Biden has accomplished nothing.

                No, the problem is that you can't seem to accept the fact that he is beyond communicating, much less making global decisions.

                  Let his defenders list a single accomplishment -- one real enough that the rest of us won't be rolling in the aisles when we read it.

                    Old Slo Joe stepped off into the horse manure on day one. He could have praised the blue collar workers on the Keystone Pipeline, but instead killed it off with a shaky flourish of his executive order pen. Instead of praising low cost energy that the pipeline would bring, he turned our energy future over to the Arabs. And then he got worse.

                        Canada can build their own infrastructure.

                        They have three coasts too.

                          Trump lost. He threw a temper tantrum and lost everything he could brag about in 2020. Trump failed in his last year, and that cost him reelection.

                            Global supply chain snafus would bedevil Trump were he still in office as much as anyone else. And his import taxes on American buyers, which Biden has so far kept in place, undoubtedly contribute to price increases. For awhile perhaps importers felt they needed to eat the tax. But no longer.

                              Think the Canadians could build our infrastructure when they are through? Slo Joe sure isn't doing it.

                              Biden inherited a robust economy and wrecked it within weeks. He didn't have the ability to run a business to start with, and the past few months keep proving it over and over.
