Biden rn: GOP obstruction threatening to absolute to destroy US economy (by filibustering debt ceiling)

why does DC press refuse to relay that simple fact?
GOP is **filibustering debt ceiling vote**

it’s absolutely mind boggling

guarantee that won’t be message of press coverage
why mind boggling? every debt ceiling vote was previously bipartisan, like when Dems helped GOP pass it 3x when Trump president

today, not only GOP opposes, but demands 60 votes!

it’s pure nihilism

good grief, just calm down; pressrun.media/p/chaos-civil-…
“Democrats have the ball on the 10 yard-line with two minutes remaining and the hysterical press is acting like the clock just ran out.”
“A “civil war” has engulfed the party, The New Yorker announced, which was especially lazy and misguided since there are exactly two Democratic senators standing in the way of Biden”

NYT reporter was pushing idea that Biden is just like Trump

the @AP is broken

Americans favor mandate by **nearly 20 pts** so AP spins it as “deep divide”; apnews.com/article/corona…
first person quoted in story is Republican voter who opposes mandates even tho, according to poll, they represent just 34% of country
why the “divide”? bc GOP’s don’t like the mandate. (Dems and independents do)

so in eyes of AP, the radical minority (34%} is just as important as the overwhelming majority

“Fox News didn’t even try to spin the Arizona results, which confirmed Biden’s victory again. Instead, the network made a wholesale decision not to cover a story which the network *had covered all year long*.”

book confirms Trump marriage is complete joke.

why hasn’t that been a 5-yr story?

Trump’s going to run in 2024, his wife hates his guts and only shows up for $$$ and **this isn’t huge political story**? nytimes.com/2021/09/28/us/…
NYT once interviewed 50 (!!) people for a news story abt state of Clinton marriage, after they left the WH
different media rules for Dems
