WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s been more than a year in the making and has seen plenty of ups and downs. Now, a Democratic economic package focused on climate and health care faces hurdles but seems headed toward party-line passage by Congress next month.

Approval would let President Joe Biden and his party claim a triumph on top priorities as November’s elections approach. They have not forgotten that they came close to approving a far grander version of the bill last year, only to see Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., one of their most conservative and contrarian members, torpedo it at the eleventh hour.

This time, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has crafted a compromise package with Manchin, to the surprise of everyone, transforming the West Virginian from pariah to partner. The measure is more modest than earlier versions but still checks boxes on issues that make Democrats giddy.

“Death, death, USA!” chants the Democrat Party.

“Death, death, USA!” chants the Associated Pres.

When democrats triumph, the country suffers and loses.

[rktman]

Some say triumph, others say flogging.

[Jim W N]

All Propoganda will never get it right. They lie. It's what they do.

[G Larry]

"triumph", I don't think that word means what you think it means.

If humanity and freedom is destroyed under the vain pretense that mankind can impact the climate, that is NOT "triumph".

economic package focused on climate and health care

Darn. I was hoping the economic package might focus on the economy. Oh well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Right? [/s]

You’d love that wouldn’t you Oldcommiebuyer? Not gonna happen.

“Triumph” is a big word among dictators and fascists. They love it. For example, the top Nazi propaganda movie in the 1930s was, “Triumph of the Will”.

Don’t be so sure the GOP taking over anything.

[butlerweave]

Will their triumph on climate and health happen before the election or will they delay it like they always do

Communists are very good at solving imaginary problems and terrible at solving real ones.

[dfwgator]

And Repukes gladly let them.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

There is no chance of voting this country back to sanity, decency or strength. Those days are gone. The destruction will continue apace until the Chinese give us that last push onto the ash heap of history.

I didn’t leave my country. My country left me.

[Sacajaweau]

We need God on this one...say a little prayer.

Lots of cash in it for China Mitch.
