How Biden Is Driving The Right And The Media Insane (And America Loves It)

by Oliver Willis

The right makes up a fake controversy that they pound every hour on Fox News and Twitter, while the media peppers the Democratic administration with questions about the made-up outrage that sound as if they were dreamed up by the RNC’s Ronna McDaniel and her team.

Thus far, Biden’s response has largely been indifference to the fake controversy machine. He and Vice President Kamala Harris haven’t spent the early days of the presidency trying to put out phony fires, seeking to appease a conservative/Republican beast whose only goal is the destruction of liberalism.

Biden has kept his head down, setting realistic expectations after years of grandiose promises the press repeatedly fell for but were never delivered upon.

The dissatisfaction from the right and the press is palpable. Biden isn’t jumping when they collectively demand he do so. He is not playing by the approved rules, where the right and the media set the agenda and the Democrats careen from crisis to crisis.

Warren calls filibuster racist

Signaling a coming case by progressives, Sen. Elizabeth Warren told Alayna Treene the Senate's legislative filibuster, which requires 60 votes for most legislation, wasn't a creation of the founding fathers:

"The filibuster ... was designed to give the South the ability to veto any effective civil rights legislation or anti-lynching legislation," Warren said.

"The filibuster has deep roots in racism, and it should not be permitted to serve that function, or to create or to create a veto for the minority. In a democracy, it's majority rules."
