Commentary: At Less Than 100 Days in, the Wheels Are Already Falling Off Biden’s Cart
The Ohio Star ^ | March 12, 2021 | Neil W. McCabe

...New presidents often take the opportunity to pass a so-called skinny budget as their own personal amendment to the ongoing fiscal year’s budget. Without a confirmed OMB chief, there will be no Biden skinny budget.

Here we are approaching the Ides of March and the most important job in the White House is held by an acting director, Shalanda Young....many Capitol Hill Democrats what Young for the top job–except Biden is looking around for someone else.

The longer it takes Biden to get an OMB director, the longer it takes to get his reins on the federal government....

All of this important, true and the tip of the iceberg, but the president is being done in by something more important than politics or policy: the calendar.

Nothing matters on Capitol Hill like the calendar and it has just tilted against Biden.

Here is simple example: When is Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress?

If you don’t know, join the club. No one knows. Right now, with Western Easter April 4 and Eastern Orthodox Easter April 11, Biden cannot get a slot until after April 18.

As a comparison: Trump first addressed Congress Feb. 28, 2017.

Every year, the bulk of Capitol Hill legislation gets through between the State of the Union address and Memorial Day with a hard pust through June until everything stops after July 4.

This year, there will be House is scheduled to hold floor votes seven days in March, eight days in April, eight days in May and 11 days in June.

Whatever does not get to the House floor before July 30 will have to wait until Sept. 20, when by then Congress will be absorbed in its government shutdown ritual for the fiscal year ending at midnight Sept. 30....

When you have an antiAmerican regime occupying DC and a demented puppet posing as president, no good can come of it. They all need to leave or be cut off. They won’t last long. They can’t do much if they are ignored.

The Capitol Building with its new perimeter would make a fine gaol.

Shutdown the tunnels and lock the gates. Turn the NG 180 deg. and there you have it.

The plan was for Joe to stay until Jan. 21, 2023, I don’t think he’s going to make it.

Legislation is old hat. Demented joe’s puppet masters have him sign decrees. No need for congress.

And there you have the preliminary grounds for a schism between the Puppet Palace and Fort Pelosi.

I doubt he can even read flash cards anymore. He may not even be able to hold a pen and sign his name.

So true. This whole lamentable tragic comedy is not being accepted by the American people. Its just not going according to their plan. States are ignoring them. People are angry at them. Nobody is happy with them. Its an epic fail. Hopefully soon the adults with uniforms will step in and take this mess in hand.
