    And the White House has a meltdown.

    And Sanders (who obviously doesn't understand the concept of "majority").

    And Rep Omar (D-Somalia)

      Edited to add my (dupe) posts to Ax's original thread. My PWNED thread is deleted.

        So, should I copy the White House response to the "Biden's Lies" thread?

                I wonder if they even realize that the Pre-K Childcare is the biggest nightmare in this clusterfuck. Everybody has had their eyes opened over the last two years to what the schools have done to our kids and now they want even earlier access? Hell no…

                  The White House Art of Furious Persuasion

                  Jen Psaki all but calls Joe Manchin a liar for opposing Biden’s bill.

                  By Dec. 19, 2021 5:59 pm ET

                  The progressive whiz kids who run President Biden’s White House don’t have much sense of self-restraint—or common political sense. Their response on Sunday to Sen. Joe Manchin’s opposition to Build Back Better was to accuse him of bad faith while saying they’ll beat him up until he changes his mind.

                  Press secretary Jen Psaki issued a blistering statement saying Mr. Manchin’s comments on Fox News Sunday “are at odds with his discussions this week with the President, with White House staff, and with his own public utterances.” We can’t speak for his private White House talks, but Mr. Manchin’s public comments have been consistent for months. On Sunday he finally said no.

                  Ms. Psaki charged ahead in furious disregard: “Just as Senator Manchin reversed his position on Build Back Better this morning, we will continue to press him to see if he will reverse his position yet again, to honor his prior commitments and be true to his word.”

                  Maybe Mr. Biden’s masters of the universe know something about the art of persuasion that we don’t. But we doubt calling a Senator a liar is going to bring him around.

                      Ax how do you like that bill? Do you wish it would pass? I don't.

                              I saw those signs all over the place in Boston a couple years ago.

                              There were none around here (rural Virginia).

                                        Louisiana would have a much higher literacy rate, but a lot of our best and brightest move out of state.
