President Joe Biden was finally able to disembark from Air Force One on Monday after he was stuck on board for 30 minutes while airport personnel struggled to get the stairs through the thick snow on the tarmac.
The truck hauling the stairs moved slowly through the thick snow with ground workers helping to push it as a winter storm Frida swept through the capital and forced federal government buildings and schools to close.
Biden, 79, walked down the stairs carefully, one hand on the rail and the other held up to his face to brace himself from the wintry conditions that have brought parts of the East Coast to a halt.

And this
The forecast was right on and the snow started just before dawn
Biden could have returned last night
Joe's first question? What's tonight's pudding?
The Biden Junta knew this winter storm was coming. How idiotic to wait till the snow came to D.C. They should have flew in earlier.
And interrupt sleepy Joe's nap?
It would be a real shame if Satan’s children all froze to death in the District of Corruption.
Glad THEIR agenda is stalled.
You have to wonder what is worse for the Democrats - Biden being perceived as not powerful enough to get what he wants from the Democratic majority (sic) in Congress - or them actually passing some of this horrible legislation and poking the bear, awakening a tea-party like response. When we take back the House and the Senate it could possibly be at margins enough to be veto proof. If not, then in January 2025, we rescind all of it.
Yeah, that probably was the issue.
Loved the notice of OPM this AM: DC offices closed. Those on telework are expected to be on the job. I almost fell off my chair after reading that one.
“The question, will he cave in for the filibuster?”
Old Churchill joke...
Churchill: “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?”
Socialite: “My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course... “
Churchill: “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?”
Socialite: “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!”
Churchill: “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”
They know what type of person Manchin is, now is the haggling phase of the dance.
When they meet his price he will become the vote that puts the BBB fiasco over the top.
Actually he is negotiating on 2 parts of that legislation to reduce the cost sharply in order to pass them perhaps as a separate bill.
His position on the bill as being hyper inflationary could not have changed based on the recent numbers and I give it a 1 in 1000 chance of his flipping on this after what he has publicly said. To do so would end his political career.
As usual the headline does not support the story.
"Now, Axios reports that Manchin is “open to reengaging on the climate and child care provisions in President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda” — if the expanded child tax credit that was included in the original bill is eliminated, or at least has its eligibility thinned. Manchin has proposed passing funding for universal preschool and green tax credits, as Axios explains."

I will assume you are right.
Odds are for it.
But we are discussing the minds and decisions of Dems. Always a crap shoot.
Biden, 79, walked down the stairs carefully, one hand on the rail and the other held up to his face to brace himself from the driving snow. Snow rained down hard, causing the skinny, elderly, sickly resident to sway as he made his way off the plane.
You can bet good money Bidung cursed the day he stole the election. It's cramping his billionaire lifestyle. He usually spends the holidays w/ the Biden Crime Family in his posh mansion in the sunny Virgin Islands.
Looks like they're scared to be seen together......not one Biden has been in the WH. Joe however has made about 50 secret trips to Delaware. The fam helped him write the trillion dollar giveaways......./sarc.
I hear you and that concerns me too.
But Joe M. had said he was concerned about all that spending, concerned about deficit spending, etc.
We’ll know soon. If he gets behind it, we will know it was all kabuki theater.
The State of the Union speech in usually late January/early February. I’m sure the liberals would love for Joe B. to be able to trumpet the passage of this Build Back monstrosity in that speech.
I am a little skeptical of the latter...a red wave? The rats are notorious and they have practiced very well to cheat and steal elections! 22 will not be any different. Besides they have already won six seats by redistricting which the RNC just fell over and gave them a wide open space to do whatever they want. Not even a spit of fight in them.
But where was Jill and the new dog?
Nobody has won anything. Yet.
Another 11 months to go.
And we have plenty of ways to win:
Dems may lose 80 seats as more Dems switch.
