Media is spinning the failure of passing the bill as some sort of huge surprise blow to Biden..... most of us knew Mancin and Sinema were not going to budge.... but we put them and the Republicans on the record. And guess what, if we just do nothing (in terms of trying to pass legislation) then we would have been blamed for that as well. Fuck the MSM and the few Democrats that are acting like Biden, Schumer, and Pelosi didn't do enough. Truth is, Mancin and Sinema have us by the cajones and if they bolt for the Republicans, then Moscow Mitch is back in charge and we get nothing- no more judges, no more appointments, no Supreme Court seats if one should come up.
