JOE BIDEN = NOTHING BUT A FUCKING BRIBES SUCKING LIAR!
Desperate Biden Personally Calling Democrats, Begging Them to Vote for His Agenda amid Mass Dysfunction
President Joe Biden, having failed twice to convince House Democrats to back his legislative agenda, resorted Thursday to personally calling lawmakers to beg them to vote for the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tentatively scheduled a vote on the Build Back Better Act, or the Democrats’ social welfare and climate change spending reconciliation act.
Biden has pinned his legislative agenda on his passing dual infrastructure bills, the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Build Back Better Act. He expected his legislative majorities in the House and Senate to pass these bills despite the frictions between House moderate and progressive Democrats.
Biden and Pelosi have compared the 46th president’s Build Back Better agenda to President Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Baines Johnson’s Great Society programs.
However, Biden had to scale down the price of the formerly $3.5 trillion Build Back Better Act to $1.75 trillion to placate moderates such as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
Despite Biden drawing down the scope of the reconciliation infrastructure bill, Pelosi has yet to cobble together the votes to pass it through the House.
So far, Pelosi has punted twice on her planned vote for the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill. She delayed a vote on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act in late September after progressives would not back the bill. Then progressives once again delayed the bill in late October.
Before Pelosi delayed both planned votes, Biden visited the House to beg Democrats to back one part of his legislative agenda. Democrats have not passed a significant bill since the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in the spring.
Now, Biden has resorted to personally calling House Democrats to back the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Build Back Better Act before Congress goes into recess next week.

Poll: Biden Agenda Underwater, Majority Say No or Negative Impact on Their Lives
A majority of Americans believe that President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda will have either no impact or a negative impact on their lives, with a full plurality believing the impact will be negative. Meanwhile, 50 percent of Americans disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job performance.
The November Emerson College national poll found that while 50 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden’s job as president, only 41 percent approve.
This marks a drastic reversal from Biden’s February polling, in which 49 percent approved of his job performance, and 39 percent disapproved.
Seemingly the most important in the poll, however, is a revelation regarding Biden’s agenda, which congressional Democrats are attempting to pass out of Congress again this week. Thirty-nine percent of Americans believe the Build Back Better bill would have a negative impact on their lives, while 34 percent believe that it would have a positive impact, 16 percent will believe it will have no impact, and 11 remain unsure. That means a majority–55 percent–believe that Biden’s and Democrats’ agenda will have either no or a negative impact on their lives.
Emerson noted the largest drop in disapproval came from black voters, falling from 72 percent approval in February to 52 percent approval in November. Hispanic approval dropped from 56 percent approval in February to 50 percent in November. In contrast, white voters’ approval of Biden dropped from 43 percent in February to 38 percent currently.
Biden’s drop in approval also coincides with voters’ plan to vote for Republicans over Democrats ahead of the pivotal 2022 midterm elections.
Forty-nine percent of Americans said they would vote for a Republican candidate, while 42 percent said they would vote for a Democrat candidate, while nine percent undecided.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hope to hold votes on Biden’s dual infrastructure bills, the $1.2 trillion so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill, or the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the $1.75 Build Back Better reconciliation bill.

The Emerson College poll was conducted between November 3 and 4, which surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a three percent margin of error.

Joe Biden Demands Congress Vote Yes on His Agenda ‘Right Now’
President Joe Biden demanded that every member of Congress vote for his agenda after celebrating the better-than-expected job gains in October reported Friday.
“I’m asking every House member, member of the House of Representatives, to vote yes on both these bills, right now,” Biden said. “Send the infrastructure bill to my desk. Send the Build Back Better bill to the Senate.”
The president tried to signal confidence after he has reportedly been making calls with House Democrats in an effort to rally support for his bills, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans (for now) to hold a vote at the end of the day.
Biden argued that the boost in jobs growth was the result of his $1.9 trillion bill passed in March and demanded more support for his multitrillion-dollar agenda.

The president argued that the economic recovery in the United States was “faster, stronger, fairer, and wider” than anyone could have expected.
“That’s what the numbers say, but we want to make sure that people continue to feel it in their lives, in their bank accounts, in their hopes and expectations,” Biden said.
The president said that passing his multitrillion-dollar Build Back Better bill and his $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill would help the economy continue to recover.
Biden said he would return to the Oval Office to lobby more Democrats on the phone to support his bills, as votes are expected to occur Friday afternoon.
“If your number one issue is the cost of living, the number one priority should be seeing Congress pass these bills,” he said.
Consumer Debt Explodes Higher as Americans Grapple with Bidenflation
Consumer borrowing accelerated by far more than expected in September, as American households dealt with rising prices by swiping their credit cards and taking out more loans.
Total consumer credit increased $29 billion, up from a $13.8 billion gain in August, according to data released by the Federal Reserve Friday.
Economists had been expecting a $15.5 billion gain, according to Econoday.
That’s a monthly gain of 0.7 percent, well above the decade average of 0.4 percent. Compared with a year ago, consumer debt is up 4.9 percent.
Consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in September and were up 5.4 percent compared with the prior September.
The gain in September translates into an annual growth rate of 8.3 percent in September, a big pick up from the 3.8 percent pace in August.
Revolving credit, which is mostly credit cards, rose 11.8 percent, which follows a 3.4 percent gain in August.
Expansions in revolving credit can be an indicator of economic confidence and can help an economy grow. But they can also be a signal of economic distress if cash-strapped households are turning to credit to make up for income gaps.
Nonrevolving credit—which is mostly auto and student loans—rose 7.2 percent. These loans were up 4 percent in August.
The Fed’s consumer credit data does not count mortgages, the biggest type of household debt.

Sen. Blackburn: Democrats’ Amnesty Invites Endless Cheap Labor
President Joe Biden plans to fix the border meltdown by inviting economic migrants to come in legally, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) said in a conversation with Stephen Miller, the former immigration deputy in President Donald Trump’s White House.
The legal changes are buried in the Democrats’ Build Back Better bill, which is scheduled for a House vote as early as Friday, November 5.
If the Democrats’ bill becomes law, Biden “is going to be able to say, ‘Hey, we got the border under control,'” Blackburn told Miller.
“Well, no,” she added. “What [Biden] did was to open a door over here where [he’s] going to let people pay $2,500 … Come in, get citizenship, and then reap the benefits,” she said.
“You’re not supposed to be changing law in a reconciliation budget bill,” she added. Democrats “know this would never pass, so they’re going to try to get this provision through in the [fast-track] budget bill, and we want to get the word out on it.” Miller responded:
It’s really important that people speak out about this as much as they can. As you know from personal experience, most Democrats in Congress just do what they’re told by [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer and do not exercise any independent thought whatsoever.
Miller described the pending immigration changes in the Democrats’ bill.
“Little attention has been given to the immigration provisions, which are truly breathtaking in scope and would completely, completely, reorder American society,” he said, adding:
First, and simplest really, is a giant amnesty for most of the nation’s illegal immigrant population …
The second is a very shocking provision, which I know you, Senator, have been very concerned about, which allows people to effectively Buy American citizenship for a relatively small fee …
How does it do this? Under federal law, there are some categories of immigration that are expressly capped [at roughly one million per year for all legal immigration].
These categories include chain migration and foreign workers [hired by U.S. companies]. So there are specific [annual] caps Congress has established on both of these to ensure that there isn’t unlimited immigration, that there’s some measure of control, as every society has. In fact, a lot of people would argue, if anything, that the caps are too generous.
What this bill does is, it says even if you can’t get into the country right away — because there’s a [annual] cap on chain migration or a cap on foreign-worker migration, for a fee of $2,500 for a family of chain migrants, or for a fee of $5,000 for foreign workers — that would primarily be in the big tech space — you can get a green card, come to America, stay here for life.
So literally, an unlimited number of people can come into the country for this fee, be put on a path to citizenship, no special criteria, no merit-based sorting, no demonstration of any particular contribution. It’s just “Give the money and get in.”
The bill is a huge threat to Americans who want to earn college degrees to better their lives, he said:
It will mean that if you’re a college student graduating in Tennessee and you want to go work for one of these big technology companies, make a great living, and be able to support your family, [the companies] can just instead go get a foreign worker for much less than they would pay an American worker.
That I think is a great tragedy, and I’m frankly astonished that this has been put in the bill without getting any real national attention.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) also focused on the section’s impact for American technology grads in a November 3 op-ed at Fox News.
The current draft of the Democrat’s bill also includes a nearly unprecedented assault on the livelihoods of American tech workers. In service of their big money donors, Democrats intend to authorize green cards for hundreds of thousands of foreign tech workers. On day one, Democrats want to open the floodgates to 200,000 such workers.
The tech industry has been subsidized with cheap foreign labor for long enough. Silicon Valley should invest in upskilling the American workforce instead of using their money to lobby Congress for a new giveaway.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) is also calling attention to the bill’s green-cards-for-cash rule.
Many polls show that labor migration is deeply unpopular because it damages ordinary Americans’ career opportunities, cuts their wages, and raises their rents. Migration also curbs Americans’ productivity, shrinks their political clout, widens regional wealth gaps, and radicalizes their democratic, compromise-promoting civic culture.
For many years, a wide variety of pollsters have shown deep and broad opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs sought by young U.S. graduates. This opposition is multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity Americans owe to each other.
