But as the relief money moved slowly and the Delta variant surged, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus pressed Gene Sperling, who oversees pandemic relief programs for the White House, and Mr. Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain, to commit to another extension. The officials were pessimistic and noncommittal. On July 27, Mr. Sperling emailed the group’s chairwoman, Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat from the Seattle area, to say the answer was a firm “no.” That was followed by a call from Mr. Klain, who asked her to delay a news conference denouncing the move.Ms. Jayapal refused.“Then we began agitating and building a chorus,” Ms Jayapal said.
Ms. Jayapal refused.
“Then we began agitating and building a chorus,” Ms Jayapal said.

If Jayapal is the successor, I'm more than willing to let go of Pelosi. Since my personal congressional rep is a fucking blue dog who voted against Pelosi for her current Speaker's term in the hope of moving the caucus to the right, I'm hesitant to think that Jayapal can win the votes she needs to move the caucus left.

As much as I would like Jayapal in that role, I thought the conventional wisdom was that Hakeem Jeffries would be Pelosi's successor.

Pelosi needs to do go away after the midterms no matter what. Today would be cool too

you can tell the media is really 100% turning against Biden because they're starting to transcribe what he says as he actually says it https://t.co/YDyx2vlllE— WILLI (@muenzenberg_w) August 20, 2021

Even if you think that's what it is rather than being an ancient man, the joke of the tweet is that the media that's been 100% in the bag for him and covered every time someone questioned him is starting to highlight what might be embarrassing pauses and stutters.

Honestly, it is nearly impossible to parse out what you get out of that tweet or your reasons for posting it ar all.

So kudos to the press because they punished the unforgivable sin of leaving Afghanistan by highlighting his old age/stutter?
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Saturday, 21 August 2021 18:05 (three years ago) link
Did you read kudos anywhere?
Yes, the funny part is that corruption, sexual assault allegations, being confused in general were all issues to pointedly ignore but the cardinal sin of (momentarily) betraying the MIC is when the knives come out.
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Saturday, 21 August 2021 18:12 (three years ago) link
The thought behind Biden’s response is not especially salutary, whether the delivery is broken up by a stutter, senescence, or dissembling. One transcription doesn’t make a pattern, but if this did or has become a regular thing at given outlets, it would contrast notably with the tidying and elision routinely applied to the former guy’s incoherent exclamations.

Like I said, it is impossible to parse your motivation for dropping a tweet like that with zero commentary, but your unquenchable thirst for this stuff is always a wonder to behold.
― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Saturday, 21 August 2021 18:15 (three years ago) link
it is impossible to parse your motivation
Is it or is that just complicated by your insistence on putting words in my mouth/not reading ('kudos,' 'why would you say that's embarrassing')?
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Saturday, 21 August 2021 18:24 (three years ago) link
Let's see what we have here. The quoted tweet cites one small snippet of text, transcribed by who knows what individual or where it was published, and it concludes on that basis alone that '100% of the media are turning against Biden', and your reaction to this bit of total stupidity is to find it funny, not because it is so stupid, but because in your mind obviously the whole media has 'pulled out its knives' against Biden, when before this they were all obviously in his pocket?
― it is to laugh, like so, ha! (Aimless), Saturday, 21 August 2021 18:25 (three years ago) link
It's amazing how many people repeatedly over years now misconstrue what you post. Kudos!
But, yes, the Beltway press is grotesque in its predictability.

lol at public opinion on Covid and Afghanistan. A huge hunk of America isn't even doing the minimum to mitigate covid, so of course that's Biden's fault. And an even bigger hunk of America probably hasn't thought about Afghanistan in decades, and certainly couldn't find it on a map. But sure, they're upset about his handling of that, too. Knowing this stupid country, he's probably losing approval on handling of Covid for *trying* to handle Covid, and losing support on Afghanistan for *not* signing up for two more decades of war.
In other words, fuck the polls, which are not only often wrong, but iirc stand right now at their lowest where his predecessor stood at his *highest* approval number.
