Biden tries new strategy with moderates as frustration grows
By Alexander Bolton - 06/03/21 06:01 AM EDT



President Biden this week took the rare step of calling out two Democratic moderates — Sens. Joe Manchin (W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.) — in a sign of growing frustration over stalled legislative priorities.

Congressional aides say Democratic lawmakers have been reaching out to the White House in hopes that Biden would be more actively involved in efforts to convince Manchin, a key swing vote, to get behind the Democratic agenda.

Manchin has expressed opposition to core elements of Biden’s legislative priorities such as raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, overhauling campaign finance and election law, enacting a House-passed bill to expand background checks, and raising the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent. Sinema has also bucked her party at times, particularly on raising the minimum wage.

Biden on Tuesday took a new tack by singling out Manchin and Sinema as two significant obstacles to his agenda, though he did not name them directly.

Manchin is the only Rodent that isn't a partisan blind fool.

Recall when Hairy One-Eye nuked the judicial filibuster to pack the DC Circuit court?   How McConnell told him he'd rue the day?

Less than two years later, McConnell had successfully stymied Hussein's scheme to install another Rodent after Scalia had his My Pillow incident, and Gorsuch was confirmed shortly after the shrieking from the Harridan had died down to allow the vote to happen.

Then there was Kavanaugh.

Then there was Barrett.

Each of whom would have been stymied if the Rodents were permitted to continue to abuse the filibuster for partisan political gain.

So, only two disgusting Rodents can remember what happened to Hairy One-Eye's Grand Plan.

The Rodents never cease to amaze with their stupidity.
