WASHINGTON (AP) — A flagship Democratic economic bill perched on the edge of House passage Friday, placing President Joe Biden on the brink of a back-from-the-dead triumph on goals for the climate, health care and taxes that could energize his party ahead of November’s elections.
Democrats were poised to muscle the measure through the narrowly divided House Friday over solid Republican opposition. They employed similar party unity and Vice President Kamala Harris’ tiebreaking vote Sunday to power the measure through the 50-50 Senate.
The package is but a shadow of Biden’s initial vision and was produced only after a year of often bitter infighting between party leaders, progressives and centrists led by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., empowered by that chamber’s even split. Ultimately, Democrats thirsty to declare victory forged a compromise on abiding goals like reining in pharmaceutical costs, taxing large companies and, especially, curbing carbon emissions. They are hoping to show they can wring accomplishments from an often fractiously gridlocked Washington that alienates many voters.

Sure thing!
Go way!
Any win for “Joe” and the Demoncrats is a huge loss for the American Citizenry.
only way to stop this is to flood vulnerable Dems’ offices with phone calls.
That even one single solitary cent is being spent on this damn climate hoax is as outrageous as it gets. Excuse me, but when did the USA and only the USA become responsible for the climate of the entire planet? As if we could change its composition to any single solitary miniscule degree in the first place. This is utterly insane thinking, it’s like spending billions to prevent the ocean from turning yellow from all the fish peeing in it.
Raise taxes on every consumer, give taxpayer money to government cronies, and raise the cost of healthcare to fund illegals isn’t what I would call a win. But hey, with a complicit media acting as the propaganda arm of the Deep State, what can possibly go wrong?
So says the AP. Just more propaganda
And yet the stupid headline calls it a “win” for Democrats, and the first sentence says it’s a “triumph” for Biden.
LOL.
“muscle the measure through the narrowly divided House”... isn’t that how all this nonsense gets through?
We all win... more inflation and taxes!!! Yay!!!
More propaganda. The majority of the electorate have not forgotten about record inflation, high gas prices, skyrocketing crime, loss of energy independence, Afghanistan (with dead military members), empty shelves, mandates, etc. Add to that Biden’s raid on Trump’s home, and you have a large portion of the voting populace now galvanized.
Stand strong FReepers. These are the times that try men’s souls. We will be victorious.
Democrat flagship legislation, country destroying, economy sinking
stack of sh!t! I don’t if we will make 2024.
Sure hope none of those dems are planning on being re-elected
So it begins... Next will be numerous "polls" showing a "bitterly divided nation 49/51. Who knows who will win the midterms?"
And in the meantime, the machines are being prepped for another steal/vote fraud coup.
Oh, it’ll energize a Party all right.
Just not the one that calls itself Democrat.
The bill is one-quarter the size of the original plan. I’d say that’s a win for our side.
MORE crap for Trump to straighten out when he takes office again.
The AP isn’t Associated Press, but the AssholePress
