Ok, I'm appreciative of Manchin and his unwillingness to help move Biden's continuing BBB BS agenda forward, but I am beyond disgusted that its down to just one man keeping this country from total collapse.

“Senator Manchin has not walked away from the table,” she added.
"Action on climate change and clean energy remains more urgent than ever. So let me be clear: if the Senate will not move to tackle the climate crisis and strengthen our domestic clean energy industry, I will take strong executive action to meet this moment," Biden said. "I want to thank Leader Schumer for his dogged and determined effort to produce the strongest possible bill."

Starbucks CEO Says Stores Are No Longer Safe in Democrat-Run Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia, L.A., D.C.
American cities “have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime,” said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is a Democratic donor.
“I must say, in my view at the local, state and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders, mayors and governors, city councils have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental health,” Schultz said in a video posted on Twitter.
Earlier in the week, Starbucks announced store closures in four Democrat-run states and the District of Columbia.
The Starbucks Corporation announced … that it is closing 16 stores in the U.S. because of safety concerns for workers, including incidents of violence and drug use on the premises.
The coffee retailer will close permanently six stores in Seattle, Washington, and six more in the Los Angeles, California, region. Two stores will shutter in Portland, Oregon, and one store each in Philadelphia and Washington, DC.
Schultz blamed elected leaders of the Democrat cities where the stores are closing "at the local state and federal level, these governments… and leaders, mayors & governors & city councils have advocated their responsibility in fighting crime & addressing mental illness.
Schultz spoke at an internal company gathering.
“We’re going to have to refine and transform and modernize many of the things we do to meet the needs of our customers in a very changing operating environment in which customer behavior is changing,” Schultz said.
Schultz said America is now “unsafe.”
“I don’t have to spend too much time on what’s going on in the country and how America has become unsafe,” Schultz said. “But you all read the press release last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.”
“And then we heard the stories that go along with it about what happens in our bathrooms; the issue of mental illness, the issues of homelessness and the issues of crime,” Schultz said.
“Starbucks as a window into America, we have stores in every community and we are facing things in which the stores were not built for. And so we’re listening to our people and closing stores and this is just the beginning,” Schultz said.
Donald Trump is not a politician, he is a leader, politicians are a dime a dozen, leaders are priceless.

Old JB is pretty good at issuing executive orders, particularly after howling something about "You can't legislate by executive order unless you're a dictator."

The Liberal rules based world order Biden is determined to keep and many nations are rejecting.
Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir, who was inside President Joe Biden’s meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, refused to commit to boosting oil production, denied Biden pressed them on the issue, and argued that “The problem of gasoline in the United States is more a function of the lack of refining capacity in the United States than a shortage of actual crude oil.”

I read an article on Fox News this morning that we're giving some West Bank hospital $100M to care for Palestinians. It just makes you wonder how much more of our money the administration is giving away on this little trip.
We don't have cell service where I live. Many people don't have high speed internet access. Our roads, electric grid, the entire infrastructure is in shambles, yet we're giving billions away every dat to countries who hate us. When does this shit stop?
Just for fun, I "googled" how much foreign aid we give away each year, and this site popped up:
There's a list that breaks down our "Obligation" to each country, and our disbursements so far this year. It's mind boggling!

Nah, I don't believe that. I think there's a strong 50% that will say "Hell No" to this stupidity and push back hard, another 25% or so who don't buy that crap for a moment but stay quiet about it, maybe 10% who just don't care about the topic, and 15% who are batshit crazy loons who fully buy into this horse byproduct. That last 15% unfortunately have incredibly big mouths and the ear of the corrupt, complicit, and moronic media.
