PRESIDENT BIDEN JUST OUTSMARTED KEVIN MCCARTHY.
President Biden has met with McCarthy but has stayed firm on the debt limit, using the bully pulpit and remaining tough on GOP efforts to holding the economy hostage. President Biden has made it clear that any meeting will need to be on the Presidentβs terms.
There is a very historic reason President Biden is digging in his heels and refusing to budge:
Republicans donβt negotiate in good faith.
According to Salonβs Heather Digby Parton, President Biden has learned from mistakes made by the Obama Administration.
Then, βnot ONE Republican came to the table to negotiate on the Affordable Care Act.β
It was a hard-earned lesson of the first Obama term: The modern Republican Party has zero integrity:
During negotiations, the far-right faction continually up the ante even when leadership has made a deal, notes Parton.
President Biden also knows Republicans are full of sh*t.
Under the Obama, Administration, including Biden, they learned that extremist GOP made a stink about the debt ceiling, but ultimately they capitulated and spared the country from financial crisis.
What Biden will do is take the debt ceiling off the table (That ainβt happening Jack).
Heβll instead listen to McCarthy and see if there is bipartisan ground on the budget instead.
We hear a lot about President Bidenβs age. But thereβs another word for that.
Experience.
I am glad President Biden has been in the game enough to know you donβt negotiate with Terrorists.
THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN! π
