The historians’ views were very much in sync with his own: It is time to go even bigger and faster than anyone expected. If that means chucking the filibuster and bipartisanship, so be it.
Four things are pushing Biden to jam through what could amount to a $5 trillion-plus overhaul of America, and vast changes to voting, immigration and inequality.
He has full party control of Congress, and a short window to go big.
He has party activists egging him on.
He has strong gathering economic winds at his back.
And he’s popular in polls.
Presidential historian Michael Beschloss told Axios FDR and LBJ may turn out to be the past century's closest analogues for the Biden era, "in terms of transforming the country in important ways in a short time."
Beschloss said the parallels include the New Deal economic relief that Franklin Roosevelt brought in 1933, which saved the country from the Depression and chaos.
And Biden is on track to leave the country in a different place, as Lyndon Johnson did with his Great Society programs.
People close to Biden tell us he’s feeling bullish on what he can accomplish, and is fully prepared to support the dashing of the Senate’s filibuster rule to allow Democrats to pass voting rights and other trophy legislation for his party.

2022 will be too late to stop it; they’ll get it done in the next 12-18mos.
A case can be made that FDR in’33 prevented a full on insurrection with his early policies. True his policies after ‘35 were disastrous, but LBJ’s economic policies were disastrous from the get go. They destroyed the Black Family and didn’t help families in general. They disincentivized work and created the disaster that became bilingual education. A little know fact about BL Ed is that it was a payoff to Texas Dems. Texan economy was in good shape in the early 60s and few qualified for the Great Society’s bucks. So Bilingual was created as a way to bring federal dollars to Texas that Texas Dems would control and create a dependent class among Mexican Americans by isolating them . As someone who taught 25 years in NYC schools I saw the failure of bilingual ed. Kids in BL classes in 5th grade were still there in 10th. LBJ’s presidency may have been the most destructive of the 20th century.
LBJ spent money and untold lives fighting a war he micromanaged into a colossal blunder and put us further in the hole with the Great Society. Then eventually Reagan had to come along and clean up the mess.
yes, but more importantly our boys/gals in state legislatures need to secure the ballot box and make it sacred.
Every step forward for these zombies, in addition to constituting “progress”, is also a test to see at just what point, IF ANY, their enemy (us) actually does something. Since they ingeniously based their battle on soldiers consisting of thugs, criminals, terrorists and brainwashed zombies, their soldiers are ready and waiting at a moments notice. Our soldiers, however, consist solely of moral, hard working people just trying to raise a family and preserve their childrens homestead. Guess who will be the LAST to “stand up” and do something?
Pray for America
What planet are they polling that shows Biden is popular? Not Earth surely. Hard to believe that, especially what he’s shown us so far, ANYBODY would believe this. I remember a saying many years ago...could have been after a presidential election...”it looks like little Miss America just bought another new used car”. I think it may have been a Vega this time.
Biden gave everybody with a pulse 1400 bucks.
That’s buying him popularity, for now.
I have a facebook account just to read other’s articles, clubs, etc. It’s fun to go on the White House facebook. On most of the articles the comments run about 4 to 1 against Biden.
Great line.
Boy, a Vega. Did it have the original whitewall tires? Maybe if there were no Pintos or Yugos or Renault Dauphines (my old car) around.
Prayers up.
Good Bible passage for these days.
You are correct.
Unfortunately it is. They made a covenant with death via Planned Parenthood.
And with Hell are they are agreement in the pic I posted above that verse.
And they do not fear God Almighty.
Only.....it’s not BaiDen doing any of this.....it’s his team of handlers.
Our side had its chance in 2017 to save America but Paul Ryano and Co. would have none of that.

The Biden Admin will do the same thing and find a pretext to dole out another stimulus check of one kind or the other, right before the 2022 mid-term elections. More “free” money, commonly known as buying the vote, and John Q Public will fall for it hook, line and sinker.
I have a pulse, and I sure as hell didn't get a red cent.
