Max Cohen: I asked McCarthy about how he would describe his interactions with Biden during negotiations. “Very professional, very smart. Very tough at the same time,” McCarthy replied Bill Kristol: Wow. McCarthy seems to be all in (for now) on undercutting the MAGA narrative about Pres. Biden being out of it. Which is good for Biden and for the country. (As for the future, wouldn't McCarthy prefer being Speaker with a Pres. Biden than having to deal with a Pres. Trump?)

Eric Levitz: Biden is presiding over one of the largest reductions in wage inequality, and increases in real wages for low-income workers, in modern U.S. history. (And the public writ large doesn't seem particularly enthused) https://politico.com/news/2023/05/29/low-income-wages-employment-00097135

Demcrats, as always, have missed messaging opportunities to herald their successes. It's a continuing problem illustrated clearly during this ridiculous debt ceiling "negotiation" that never should have been entered into by the Biden Administration.

Con artists love to project. If you had taken YOUR blinders off, you would have noticed that I wrote NOTHING, just did my normal cut-and-paste job.

Tim Miller: You’d think there’d be a little bit of reflection on the implications of the GOP mythology that Joe Biden manages to keep beating them despite being a drooling dementia-riddled stooge but there doesn’t seem to be.

But you posted it in the "Bidenland: Walking on Sunshine" thread. Interestingly enough, the article gives a lot of praise to the Trump Administration handling of the economic end of the pandemic in 2020 as it relates to worker wages. It further praises the Biden Administration basically for continuing many of the pandemic economic policies through 2021 and 2022. It also implies that the Biden Administration will soon be paying that bill. The article mentions that the pandemic era policies were a boon for the working poor once they went back to work (or worked through the pandemic). That's absolutely great for them. However, the article also states that the boon, although in total numbers may have exceeded inflation, inflation in key areas of essentials have made the real wage increases for the working poor evaporate. The rich have had a small chip taken from their enormous pie and I guess socialists and others of that ilk might celebrate. The problem is that the people who have been hurt most by Bidenflation is the middle class. They didn't get to experience the large wage increases that the working poor saw and at the same time felt the full force of Bidenflation. In essence, the middle class was moved back toward working poor. The bad news for Democrats is that the middle class votes at a higher rate than both the working poor and the super rich.

There goes NW spinning like a top to justify his support of supply-side socialism at the expense of the middle class and the poor.

There is nothing in my post that supported supply-side socialism (as you call it). My post is simply of fact. Although the working poor did reap some benefit or at least break even from pandemic economic policy, the middle class got hurt and more of the middle class shifted toward working poor. This is a fact and it cannot be disputed.

FACTS have never been a friend to the radical right. Your contention is one of supply-side socialism: BLAME THE POOR FOR THE SINS OF THE RICH.
