Biden’s 100 Days Speech

American Rescue Plan, American Families Plan, health care access, infrastructure, education, ending forever wars…I loved it. We have a Democratic President and a Democratic Congressional majority, let’s get it done! Right?

But as Clinton’s brain stated this week, “Democrats can’t be more liberal than Joe Manchin.” So, we’re screwed because of Democrats, not because of useless Republicans. As Tim Scott proved, Republicans have always been useless.

Regarding Biden’s call for immigration reform, he punted to Congress. He stated if Congress didn’t like his immigration plan that they should go piecemeal on migrant farmworkers and DREAMers, which a couple of decades ago had bipartisan support. Now, as Republicans are even more racist than in 2006, they won’t even support this kind of policy unless they are allowed to exploit migrant labor and abuse them further. Republicans have proven themselves evil. Ultimately, Biden seems to have given up the fight because racist Republican rhetoric is working. With a Democratic majority, we should have the testicular fortitude to pass whatever the hell we want. Please, Democrats, surprise me.

As far as the speech goes, it was well written and well presented. I have no doubt that, despite Biden’s foreign affairs record, that he was trying to bring some consensus to the table for his agenda. Unfortunately, it was a call to action for a bunch of bigoted Republicans and for Democrats who have 2022 and redistricting on the brain. They will take the advice from Clinton’s brain and go piecemeal on Biden’s agenda–no thanks to people like Joe Manchin and other Dumbocrats. Prove me wrong, though.

Whatever was presented for television, Joe Biden needs to drop the hammer on middle of the roaders who are being obstructionists from the confines of the oval office–2022 be damned! He’s the head of the Democratic Party, he needs to lead.

That’s all I’ve got. Good speech, but Biden’s actions beyond this speech are what will be needed to get the job done.
