Biden’s brain malfunctioned in the first 10 minutes of his presser today. Also had a list of journalists to take questions from and was reading answers off of a paper. But at least he’s nice!
Their repeated claims that the filibuster is racist, even though the Dems used it multiple times last year (including against a Tim Scott bill), continues to be laughable.
The filibuster itself is not racist, but it was used throughout the 20th century, by Southern Democrats to stop and slow down civil right legislation. So, it does have a history as it was a tool used by those that wanted to keep segregation.
On the press conference. It was as expected. I was more annoyed there were no COVID questions. He mentioned he is doubling the goal of shots to 200M by the end of 100 days, no follow up about that? Also, no follow up on getting kids back to school and COVID?
