Maybe he is ahead of the curve not behind it…

Geraldo came out and said that Biden should do it, so maybe, just maybe he (and members of the press) is privy to conversations that you are not.

That doesn’t mean Biden is going to do it.

shyt, Trump has not actually been convicted of anything yet.
Somehow I don't think the Biden Administration is paying much attention to what Geraldo says.

My brother's keeper


Cenk with another :trash: take.

I'm not particularly happy about this deal either, but I don't get how he can say it's "much more right-wing" when the whole House Freedom Caucus is trying to get McCarthy out the paint because he 'screwed' them and made the deal not right-wing enough. :why:

Because no deal is right wing enough for some if it doesn't end with black people in chains or on the street begging for change. What in the debt ceiling deal benefitted Dem constituents? I'll wait

Doesn't crater the world economy

Protects medicaid

Doesn't mess with student loan forgiveness (depending on court ruling) or income-driven repayment plans

Expands SNAP benefits for veterans

Is this a great bill? fukk no, but to say it's 'more right-wing' than what Republicans originally passed is a fukking lie. Republicans wanted more cuts for all of those.

You are ignoring the political context though. The Republican caucus is crazier than ever, this is not the Boehner or Ryan Caucus where Democrats were skeptical that the GOP would allow default. Biden's people (probably) rightfully assumed that the House would be willing to allow default.

Also, polling showed that regardless of what led to default/economic downturn, the public would blame the President. Americans do not pay attention to the news and will only notice when their pockets are hurt.

What leverage did Biden have to negotiate with a House Republican Caucus that is fundamentally anti-government and would be willing to let the country default?

are they even different enough to warrant a debate or is cenk pretending to be a leftist?

How is Cenk not a leftist? He has some nonconforming opinions when it comes to issues like the homeless and criminal justice, but he is a borderline radical leftist on like 99 % of issues.
