    Let's face it, you and your racist chump mates don't even give "legals" a pathway to the voting booth if you can help it, so you have absolutely no right to whinge.

    Disagree. His mind is still okay and he has plenty of other skills that more than compensate for his lack of physical strength. He wasn't elected for his physical prowess.

    One of his strong skills is the ability to surround himself with a very competent team. He's doing alright in my books.
    A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.

    Listening to him is not easy, especially when he babbles for a longer time. What made him dodge up those stairs? Insecurity?
    Trump also picked a good team at the beginning.

    I of course wish him the best of luck but see him best in a rocking chair drinking lemonade.

    Is this parody?

    Are you actively trying to lampoon uneducated right-wingers snapping at every bit of racist bait dangled in front of them?

    At this point he has just become a caricature of the most pathetic spoon-fed right wing/fox news talking points/propaganda. Not a single bit of independent thought going on inside his head.

    I could practically type his posts for him, it is so easy to see what is coming.

    Where would all those gun-toting racists like Slick be, without immigrants to blame for all their failings in life?

    More for his mental one...

    BTW, how he mentioned his first meeting with the "killer" years ago and how he let him know: Yesterday I read somewhere an account of that event by his then stenographer (McCormick?), quite interesting...

    I'm afraid you'll have to try that again, only this time speaking grown-up.

    Take your time.

    Biden eyes $3 trillion package for infrastructure, schools, families

    WASHINGTON — Fresh off passage of the COVID-19 relief bill, President Joe Biden is assembling the next big White House priority, a sweeping $3 trillion package of investments on infrastructure and domestic needs.

    Biden huddled privately late Monday with Senate Democrats as Congress has already begun laying the groundwork with legislation for developing roads, hospitals and green energy systems as part of Biden’s “Build Back Better” campaign promise. Much like the $1.9 trillion virus rescue plan signed into law earlier this month, the new package would also include family-friendly policies, this time focusing on education and paid family leave.

    The White House plans are still preliminary, with a combined $3 trillion in spending proposed to boost the economy and improve quality of life, according to a person familiar with the options who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

    While the goal is a bipartisan package, Democrats in Congress have signaled a willingness to go it alone if they are blocked by Republicans.

    “We need to get it done,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., ahead of the virtual meeting with Biden at the senators’ annual retreat Monday evening.

    Biden’s outreach to Senate Democrats comes as the White House is under fire for its handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. Migrant crossings are skyrocketing, with images of cramped holding facilities posing a humanitarian and political dilemma for the administration and its allies in Congress. The focus on infrastructure shifts attention back toward priorities that are potentially more popular with Americans and potentially bipartisan.

    An infrastructure package would include roughly $1 trillion for roads, bridges, rail lines, electrical vehicle charging stations and the cellular network, among other items. The goal would be to facilitate the shift to cleaner energy while improving economic competitiveness.

    A second component would include investments in workers with free community college, universal pre-kindergarten and paid family leave.

    No part of the proposal has been finalized and the eventual details of any spending could change.

    The overall price tag first reported Monday by The New York Times has been circulating on Capitol Hill for weeks, since the start of the Biden presidency. With the House and Senate under Democratic control, the proposals are expected to draw support from all corners of Congress.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi asked Democratic committee chairmen earlier this month to start working with their Republican counterparts to begin “to craft a big, bold and transformational infrastructure package.”

    Pelosi said the goal is to build swiftly on the coronavirus rescue plan by developing an economic relief plan to help “people in every zip code by creating good-paying jobs for the future.”

    The administration is positioning its priorities at a politically and fiscally sensitive time, after funding its $1.9 trillion relief package entirely with debt. The Federal Reserve estimates that spending could push growth this year to 6.5%, and additional spending would only add pressure to an economy already expected to run hot.

    Biden’s campaign proposed higher corporate taxes and increases on people making more than $400,000 annually, effectively undoing much of the 2017 tax cuts by his predecessor, Donald Trump.

    A White House official said the president has been very clear about his agenda, even though the details are only just starting to surface. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

    On Monday, the House Energy and Commerce Committee debated a $300 billion-plus measure to invest in drinking water, broadband and other priorities. On Thursday, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is set to appear before the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Next week, the Senate Finance Committee is scheduled to release a white paper revisiting the overseas tax code as a way to pay for some of the spending.

    Biden is expected to roll out his budget in the weeks ahead as Congress presses forward on the infrastructure package, which lawmakers have said could be ready by summer.

    Breaking down Biden’s opening gambit on infrastructure - POLITICO

    Climate. The Biden administration wants to spend enormous sums of money promoting a green economy that will help reach “a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035” and “a net-zero economy by 2050.” The climate agenda pits two crucial Democratic constituencies against each other: labor and environmentalists.

    They have a majority in the house of representatives, they're in the White House and if they can get a few wayward Democrats in line, the Republicans can go pound sand.
