Current Events > So that topic a few days ago about how Biden wouldn't act without GOP support.

(+) Yeah! (+)

President Biden signed two executive orders on Friday, one of which would increase federal food assistance and streamline the delivery of stimulus checks, as the president attempts to stabilize the economy without congressional assistance amid the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

"We have to act now," Mr. Biden said in remarks before he signed the orders. "We cannot, will not, let people go hungry."

Those are good changes, but this is a weird topic. Signing executive orders doesn't change whether or not he's slowing down the timeline for the next covid relief package. They aren't mutually exclusive

i thought Biden was a republican? thats what CE keeps telling me.

Yeah those two things aren't really related

covid relief and covid relief aren't related

i miss when TC was warned/suspended

To quote the President

"Would you shut up, man?"

Call me crazy but a limited provision to change what states can allow for snap benefits sure seems different than comprehensive legislation

Call me crazy but that's not the only thing he's doing and the President does not pass legislation.

"Yeah he's using executive orders to speed up covid relief but I still think he's going to veto any legislation that doesn't have GOP support, I'm definitely not just refusing to admit I was wrong here"

I'm genuinely confused by who you're trying to convince here. That topic was about Democrats in the legislature attempting to get together a plan to pass something through reconcilation, and Biden preferring to do something through regular order, requiring 60 votes and Republican buy in. These executive orders don't change that, despite your tortured attempt to pretend they do, as they are being referred to explicitly as a stopgap measure until the actual legislation comes together. Like I said in that very topic, I never expected them to move fast on this so this is all pretty much what I anticipated.

I find it amazing how many people are quick to accept the guy they don't like is a hypocrite; but will perform an entire Olympic mental gymnastics course to avoid admitting the guy they do like is one too.

And I'm telling you any alleged story about Biden slowing down covid relief to get GOP support (when in reality he's passing executive orders to so) is bullshit.

Democrats got two relief bills passed when republicans controlled the government, now you think they aren't going to do anything with total control? There are going to be a lot of bad faith arguments made against Biden like this over the next four years and it's important to call them out.

Anyone who isnt totally in line with my liberal views on every issue is pretty much a Republican.

Hillary? Pretty much a Republican.
Pelosi? Pretty much a Republican.
Obama? Pretty much a Republican.
Biden? Pretty much a Republican.
Tulsi? Pretty much a Republican.

Dont criticize the left/liberals for what those Republicans do.

i do agree with you though that dems will force through covid relief, bc they have 50 seats so theyll just skullfuck the senate rules like republicans did for four years

Unless your a millionaire I wouldn't worry about it.

My mom paid higher taxes under trump and her income is under 100k.

Another bad faith argument by a garbage poster

I mean Biden's policy appears more progressive than past presidents, but his whole call for unity with a bunch of fascists and terrorist sympathizers doesn't exactly mesh with that policy.

If he really cares about republican voters then give them universal health care, tackle climate change, demilitarize the police, increase covid relief, and implement a living wage. Who fucking cares if they complain about it. It'll be good for them. Like telling your child they need to eat their vegetables.

In fact, that analogy is exactly what's happening here. A bunch of children who don't know what's best for them are crying because mom and dad are making them eat their broccoli.

*unsubstantiated claim that Biden would block covid relief without GOP support*

CE: I believe this

*literally a day later Biden bypasses congress entirely to increase covid relief*

CE: see this proves i was right,

nooooooooo you can't just be right about things my narrative is collapsing noooooooooo

Communicating in memes is lol

I never said Biden wont do anything, I have always said Biden will never do enough. Which I stand by. He wont do anything that actually seriously ruffles any feathers. Hes a right of center Democrat capitalist to the core of his being.

Pretty sure Biden said before elected he would toss EOs.

You people think incremental change does nothing to help people but crying on twitter about the democrats not being socialist does.

Voting for actual progressives does. Incremental change has our country in flames because pigs cant stop shooting black people and the government cant stop trying to kill off poor people. Fuck moderate politics.
