Biden s is trying to throw away his presidency and is sacrificing a second term. We need a president who will stand firm against Republican extremism. Gavin Newscom? Josh Shapiro? The debt-ceiling fiasco makes it official: the Dems have to cut Biden loose. Perhaps, after all, this is really his subconscious attempt to let everyone know he really doesn’t want a second term.
And when Hakkim Jeffries tries to sell this steaming pile of offal to his caucus, they should boo him out of the room. Biden’s refusal to allow Democratic Congressional leaders any direct participation in the shakedown “negotiations” was a giant Fuck You to the party, anyway.
Progressive Dems did everything they could to save Biden from himself. Sen. Merkey said that they would have his back if he invoked the 14th Amendment. Still, Biden chose this path instead.
