Biden’s Ability to Govern Depends on Abandoning Any Hope of Reconciliation With the G

[signalmankenneth]

I don't want to see, Biden spending a lot of time reconciliation?!! I want to see an end of the filibuster too!

They had a better class of insult at Catholic boys’ prep schools in the 1950s. During his first semester at Archmere Academy in Delaware, where Latin was a big thing, Joe Biden was given a nickname: Joe Impedimenta. The word referred to his speech impediment, the stutter that meant, as he recalled, “I talked like Morse code.” But it also signifies in Latin the baggage encumbering an army’s progress over rough terrain. As president, Joe Impedimenta needs to move fast. It seems obvious, however, that he will be held back by a formidable hindrance. His baggage is an impossible ideal, a desire for bipartisan unity that cannot be fulfilled. Yet he can and must leave it behind him and learn to travel light.

we never had any hope that Biden would actually govern.....

The GOP is simply returning to the "party of no". After all, it IS what they do best.

Biden is not going to make the same mistake Obama did. He's seen this movie before. For all of his talk about a desire to work with Republicans, he knows that it's impossible.

Look for him to take swift action whenever possible. I don't know if the filibuster will be ended. Perhaps he gets done what he can, and makes a push for a Senate super majority in the mid terms?

Kenneth fails to understand that Biten is simply doing what he's told to do.
