I remember when Mainstream Media spent 8 years slamming Obama's successful negotiation of a historic Great Dem Recovery from the "Once in 100 Years!" collection of disasters he inherited from Bush2 for only asking for enough to get the job done tremendously fast and then settling for less but still enough to get the job done a bit slower. "He should ask for twice as much and negotiate down from there! Feckless loser!"
Now Mainsteam Media is slamming Biden for playing it exactly that way after inheriting another collection of "Once in 100 Years!" disasters from Trump. "He will only get HALF of the record amount he asked for and is settling for a lower record amount! Feckless loser!" Gotta' admire their consistency.
And it won't stop Repubs from claiming some responsibility for providing all the things their constituents back home will love about it, as they usually do after the Dems shoulder all the heavy lifting and assume all the political risk to get great things done for the country.
Combined with flipping control of the House, the Senate and the Presidency from Repubs to Dems during just one presidential term under Trump, the first time any Party has done that as far as I know, this will be another historic Dem victory on behalf of and to the great benefit of the American people.
Or, as Brian Williams and virtually every other supposedly "pro lib/Dem" Mainstream Media pundit will put it from now on, "A crushing, humiliating defeat and tragically lost opportunity for feckless Joe Biden and his fellow congressional Democratic Party losers and a huge, brilliantly conceived and executed win for those lovably irrepressible congressional Republican Party winners! Now, onward to the midterm election year!"

Well either one could get done. There are a few republicans from reddish states that can get reelected without help from TrumpShit.
The pub running for governor of Virginia recently told the Donald 'thanks, but no thanks', when TrumpShit offered to campaign with him.
Dem were saying last night that a dealio will happen.
Manchin said a day or two ago that he wanted the social infrastructure bill at no more than $1. 5 trillion, but he will probably get $1.75 shoved down his throat.

I know it is outrageous to even suggest deadbeat Repubs in Congress actually DO SOMETHING and WORK for a living. Brian Williams and most Mainsteam Media pundits wouldn't dare suggest such a thing.
Apparently, as long as all the deadbeat do-nothing Repubs in Congress start every congressional session by announcing "We're not going to work for our pay this year," they are politely absolved of any responsibility or blame for the failure of bills that are proposed, put on the table for debate and require a majority vote in the House and a 50+1 vote in the Senate to pass.
And Mainstream Media will be right there to make sure "There is nobody to blame but the Democrats" when bills are not passed thanks to zero participation by deadbeat Repubs in either or both Houses of Congress.
So they get a full pass and total absolution from you as well as Brian Williams for that, huh? Interesting. How nice for them.
Btw, both of those Infrastructure bills will create a ton of jobs well into the future, will dramatically improve the quality of life for all Americans and will return more on the investment than they cost. It isn't like either one of them is all huge cost with no meaningful upside. They are bills proposed and submitted by Dems, not Repubs.
In fact, for all the Repubs claiming to be hand-wringing worried about inflation, that 2nd one in particular is anti inflationary.

Of course, they are allowed a little more leeway in non-election years in order to pretend to be impartial. If this was October 2022, and certainly October 2024, the news would be covered up just like Hunter's laptop and Tara Reade.

If that were true nearly 100% of the American electorate would have voted for the Dems and only a tiny number of loony fringe masochists would have voted for Repubs since the early 1930's.

So I agree with Brian Williams on this. (I haven't been able to say that very often, LOL).

It is as much if not more aggressive anti-Dem, pro-Repub electioneering as you'll see on FUX News, OAN News, NEWSMAX or any other loony fake news source. Worse, since Mainstream Media sources have been doing it longer and combined have a much, much bigger audience.
I just heard Brian Williams, MSNBCs nightly news host, remind his viewers for the umpteenth time that any failure to pass whatever America wants done for their infrastructure "is entirely on the Democrats." lol. All while every deadbeat Repub in Congress goes unmentioned sitting with their thumbs up their ass doing nothing for their pay as usual.
