Biden and Dems in Congress should just keep shouting unity a thousand times over while blasting through every executive order and budget reconciliation they can that actually helps the majority of Americans.

Keep blasting away and if America decides to hand Congress back to the monsters in 2022 or the Presidency back to the monsters in 2024, so be it, the USA was a nice idea and had to end sometime.

But lets try this one time our way, peddle to the metal, push through every single Dem idea possible, and let the voters decide down the line.

I think Biden learned so much from his time as VP and realizes you might as well go full speed ahead with the ideas of the majority that got you there and not give a hoot about Republicans except to keep pretending you actually care what they think.

He's up showered, shaved, dressed before noon. I bet he evens makes the bed. Of course the staff comes in and re-makes it better but, he does it. He sets a good example for anyone wanting to know how to be a good employee. Damn, I'm going to have to step it up.

is a more effective way to run a government with a $4.8 trillion budget and 9 million employees than running everything past a single disinterested executive who would rather be golfing and rage tweeting.
