    I’m just saying that I’m glad it passed — as America needs to upgrade its infrastructure.

    In most other countries, the right wing would be thrilled with big spending on infrastructure.

    It benefits their buddies in the big construction/supply corporations.

    Average Joe with his shovel will get a minor cut of this cake .


    But the US might be exceptional on this too

    In the US, many of the jobs that will be created are good union jobs, but that in and of itself is why most of these idiots oppose investing in infrastructure. They despise the unions because they are bought and paid for by the right-wing oligarchs and corporations.

    Useful idiots full stop.

    It was a win for America, commonsense and consensus. A few more home runs, a few less foreign debacles, and Biden might just be MAGA (Made America Great Again).

    During the primaries I was against Biden , and was looking for new blood in the Democratic party.
    Biden has made a believer out of me.
    I don't mind saying I was wrong. He is the right man at the right time
    Less style and more substance.
    If I want trump style entertainment I can go to the circus, plenty of clowns there.

    Well, he is the leader of a team- not Superman. But I commend him, he is delivering on several things- including those tough involving tough, thankless decisions.
    Certainly makes Obama and trump look like the wimps they were.

    To be fair . . . Obamacare. Not much else, but he ensured that millions were covered by the measly amount of care they get . . . better than nothing.

    Has Biden pushed through that legislation yet reining in US drug manufacturers, and the State mandated monopoly pricing they impose on the USA? it's awful. Obama wasn't able to achieve that, in his watered down Obamacare package.) Better than nothing, yeh.) US healthcare should be done under RICO.

    In the states that chose to expand medicare (mostly blue states), the coverage is excellent for those that are low-income enough to qualify, in fact it is basically 100% coverage. For those of us that have to pay, it basically comes down to how much you want to spend for the coverage you get.

    It was indeed. Through persistent pushing of the program and it's benefits to all, boring old Joe got it done. Not bad getting it done in less than a year. More to come. This program is far from partisan and will benefit all Americans regardless of their politcal affiliations. So far so good Joe. Keep on keepin' on!

    "I’m running as a proud Democrat, but I will govern as an American president. I will work with Democrats and Republicans and I will work as hard for those who don’t support me as for those who do. That’s the job of a president. It’s a duty of care for everyone."

    Yet you never once posted anything remotely close to supporting the bill, did you?

    I'm not sure why you two and BSnub are unhappy that I am supporting the fact that Republicans gave the votes to Biden to get the infrastructure bill passed since AOC and her squad oppposed it.

    Would you rather those Republicans didn't help Pelosi/Biden get the bill passed?

    Would you rather I critized the Republicans for helping Biden/Pelosi to get the bill passed?

    You trash-talking dems (BSnub and beachbound) rarely think through what you are talking about, IMO.

    One week before the vote:

    AOC and girls are holding it up as they want their massive spending bill passed, too.


    Manchin is saying stop playing games and pass the infrastructure bill.


    Meanwhile, if the Virginia governor's race goes to the Republican (looking likely) — say goodbye to Biden's left-wing agenda.


    Moderate Democrats will try to save their own hides at the polls by moving to the political center — Biden, too, I'm guessing.

    Sounds like Joe needs to look a little closer to home on the climate change front I wonder if he let out a contented sigh.

    Shocked Camilla ‘hasn’t stopped talking about’ hearing Joe Biden ‘break wind’ at Cop26 in Glasgow

    Mr Biden had already pledged to cut his country’s emissions in half by 2030 in April, but on Monday issued a long-term plan for how to achieve net zero two decades later.

    Boris Johnson may have hailed Joe Biden as “a big breath of fresh air” – but it appears that events at the Cop26 climate conference in Glasgow may have given the Duchess of Cornwall, on some level, grounds to disagree.

    The US president met with Camilla and various other members of the royal family during a reception at Kelvingrove Art Gallery to mark the summit’s opening night, attended by world leaders.

    The royals’ diplomatic heft has been on display at the conference in which they have met with willing guests from across the globe, with Prince William claimed to have remarked loudly at one event: “I liken it to speed dating here ... you chat for a bit then press the button and then quickly move on to the next, you don’t have enough time.”

    But in another report carrying a claim about the etiquette of Mr Biden, any such imagery conjuring a whiff of romance was decidedly absent.

    As she spoke with Mr Biden on Monday evening, it has been claimed that Camilla was surprised to hear the US president break wind, in an emission audible enough to make the duchess blush.

    “It was long and loud and impossible to ignore,” the Mail on Sunday quoted a source as saying. “Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it.”

    Clarence House declined to comment when approached by The Independent.

    The alleged flatulence – the unverified claim of which quickly began to trend on Twitter, where it was dubbed “fartgate” – came hours after Mr Biden sought to bring the US out from the shadow of the Trump administration, apologising for his predecessor’s decision to pull out of the Paris Agreement and “put us sort of behind the eight ball” on tackling the climate crisis.

    I’m not sure Camilla is the first person Biden has nuked. Doubt she will be the last.
