From "Biden wants to sell the stimulus. The White House is still figuring out how" (WaPo).
What's going on? The phrase that comes to my mind is: The President Who Wasn't There.

Probably not in the way they imagine.
Policy achievement? Shoveling $$ is policy?
Isn't that what lefties excoriated Trump over?
Besides, they'd need an auto-pen or DOCTOR Jill to sign an example...I don't think Joe has the ability to write his name legibly...
This has got to be some sort of stupid joke. Because everyone knows that the President trying to get his name on the checks is the kind of unhelpful grandstanding that puts politics above getting people help:
Trump's name will be added to stimulus checks - CNNPolitics
Wow, only 3 months in office and Biden has already achieved the "most significant domestic policy achievements in modern history!"
It's all down-hill from here, I guess.
Considering 61% of Americans support it, how much "selling" needs to be done?
Foolish article and a foolish post.

...the White House has yet to fully develop a strategy for the next crucial step: selling it to the American public."
Isn't it a done deal? Why does Biden have to sell it?
Biden's name simply emphasizes it was the Democrats (1) cut the amounts back from what Biden promised, and (2) delayed the checks for months to load the bill with pork for their special interest backers.
Hence, Biden wants some distance and can only "sell" that if there is no rebuttal.
Squelching any opposing message: that's the strategy the White House is working on.
Aren’t these mostly direct deposit?
Too many people out there who think that if his name is on the check, and he dies before they cash it, they will have to wait for a new check to be cut.
What, exactly, is Biden's sales pitch? If this is the "most significant domestic policy achievement in modern history" it doesn't need to be sold. He and his people are apparently too stupid to be embarrassed.
It's OK. The Governors of New York and California know who to thank.

“We’ve lost the narrative on this covid package,” said one former Trump administration official. “It’s overwhelmingly supported, and we haven’t done a good job to message why Americans should oppose it.”
"If we get the Senate $2,000 checks will go out the next day"
-Joe Biden, referencing the Georgia Senate runoff
"He and his people are apparently too stupid to be embarrassed."
Biden just pushed through a 1.9 trillion stimy with a 1 vote majority in the senate. But according to Sparky, Biden is "stupid" and according to Ann, he's "the president who isn't there".
The Portland (ME) Press Herald breathlessly reports that BILLIONS are headed Maine's way from the, um, whatever it is they call it. The "most significant domestic policy achievement in modern history" but that's too wordy (MSDPAIMH). Anywho, it appears that Susan Collins' very visible visit to chat with Slo' Joe about the stimulus bill wasn't about an attempt to sell him on a smaller, less costly, more focused plan, no, it was about getting more for Maine. Whatevs, it's money we don't have that our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be on the hook for. Which is nice. Not to be a buzz kill, but I and mrs. stevew will be getting nothing.
"President" Biden should stay in the White House.
We need to avoid all risks to his health.
If something happens to him, then Kamala Harris will become the President.
This story is fake news, designed to support the farcical meme that Joe is somehow cognizant of what's going on around him at the White House.
Biden just pushed through a 1.9 trillion stimy with a 1 vote majority in the senate.
Biden didn't do a damn thing and you know it.
The fool doesn't even know what fucking day it is.
T-Shirt idea:
$1.9T in New Government Spending
And All I got was a lousy $1400
Is that a weeks wages? A month? A quarter? A year?
Stupid is the right word.
When do we add the "Biden Derangement Syndrome" tag to this blog?
When do we add the "Biden Derangement Syndrome" tag to this blog?
Referencing Biden's readily apparent derangement?
I would be fine with Biden's name being on the checks, as long as it was in smaller font than the name of every federal taxpayer.
Credit where credit is due.
Most of the stimulus checks were direct deposit, though some of them came as a debit card - which they charged you each time you used it unless you went to one of their approved banks. So they got some of the money back - which I am sure went into the currently un-spent 1 trillion bucket, to which we are now adding another 1.9 trillion we do not have. It is OK, as we can print all of the fiat currency we want to print.
Good times, good times...
Browndog provides the money quote for why Biden's name isn't on the check. Remember everyone, Trump was impeached for supposedly delaying and withholding aid promised to a foreign country. Biden delayed and withheld aid he promised to the American people.
I also don't think Biden's promise to provide $2000 checks was due to his diminished mental capabilities, but I don't know. Perhaps it was caused by Biden Derangement Syndrome. Still, it is hard to call this story BDS when the only thing Biden did was sign the bill passed by Congress. Biden certainly didn't lobby Congress to deliver on his promise either in value or in a timely matter. Biden, as Althouse suggests, wasn't there.
And shouldn't selling be something done prior to closing the deal? When you are having to sell something after closing the deal, it is usually because the people stuck with the deal hate it and wish they were no longer stuck with it. Maybe it is BDS to think selling after closing the deal is a good idea.
"As Democrats celebrate what they see as one of the most significant domestic policy achievements in modern history'
It is. And one of the most destructive. Compare to GOP accomplishments when they had the power. Dems play to win.
"the White House has yet to fully develop a strategy for the next crucial step: selling it to the American public."
Why do you need a strategy to sell the giving away of money to people, to unions, to cities and states? Americans like other people's money. Contrary to Thatcher, it is not clear that Dems will run out of it soon, provided they can keep adding debt.
"What's going on? The phrase that comes to my mind is: The President Who Wasn't There."
But he is there. The Althouses of America could have prevented it. But Biden being there is where we are.
Once you make the sale- stop selling!
Isn't that what lefties excoriated Trump over
They thought Trump traveling to Florida was a grotesque waste of tax dollars. It's not even a rounding error compared to this.
"What's going on?" Heh. Not really a secret.

The “sale” is done. The Dem’s sold our children and grandchildren into oblivion - a financial hole they will never get out of.
The great policy achievement: printing money and paying off your cronies.
"The President Who Wasn't There."
That sums up how I feel about Joe Biden usually.
Pro tip to Mutaman:
If we wanted to read what a bunch of nobodies are saying on Twitter, we'd, well, um, be on Twitter.

Foolish article and a foolish post.
When robbing Peter to pay Paul, you can always depend on the support of Paul.
And shouldn't selling be something done prior to closing the deal? When you are having to sell something after closing the deal,
Why? Because everything the media is pushing is a lie. Simple.
Why is the military bivouacked in Washington DC? Biden supposedly got more votes than any President in history. Why would citizens riot?
The lie is, Biden won the election, and there is overwhelming support for this porkulous legislation.
Reality is nobody believes Biden got so many votes, and 70% of the people know this is a Democrat graft in broad daylight
lol jeff stein, now 350 billion to the most rotten boroughs, 850 billion to miscellaneous ngos
so that 29 billion is 1.6% of the total, did wicker vote for garland
Joe only put his signature on the checks to Planned Parenthood

Pro tip: Using unnamed sources is how you can tell the "newsys" are lying to advance a narrative, not reporting facts.

Have we run out of other people's money yet? Hell NO! Gotta get the kindergarteners! I got it, raise the minimum wage to $25/Hr.
It is good to be old. Think the 401Ks will cover it? They are probably on the block.

Didn't Trump try something like this and that made half of twitter shit their pants?
Being there with peter sellers. 40 years too early.
It’s mostly bailing out blue states and funding pet projects. It’s a disgrace. This more than anything else was why the GOP keeping the Senate was so important. Too bad.
I’d be curious to know how much we’re bailing out failed states for their longer-term structural debt problems.
The White House is planning for President Biden to hit the road to promote the $1.9 trillion plan, but officials have not settled on where he should go.
Go to an abortion clinic to celebrate the taxpayers' money going to pay abortionists to exploit desperate women and kill innocent human lives.
9% for covid and the balance for P O R K.
They’re just getting warmed up. The REAL pain starts when they blow up the filibuster to pass HR1, the most destructive bill ever produced.
Then they go after 2A.
And why they need to put a wall around the Capitol.
Those $1400 checks are 22% of the $1.9 Trillion. There's some PPP and some unemployment, but it is mostly graft. You have to dig pretty deep into the unbiased coverage of our gloriously independent press corps to find that out.
Mutaman--did any of your pollsters ask if people were in favor of giving 75% of this thing to political interest groups?
"The White House is planning for President Biden to hit the road to promote the $1.9 trillion plan, but officials have not settled on where he should go."
I could help them out with a couple of suggestions.
I also have some thoughts on how he might occupy his time once he gets there.
"did wicker vote for garland"
Nay, but wouldn't have been a big surprise if he did.
"Mutaman--did any of your pollsters ask if people were in favor of giving 75% of this thing to political interest groups? "
Not my pollsters, Sparky. But if you're in the minority and unhappy with the new law, I'll be happy to take your check off your hands.
Why arent we being told about the iceberg (the bulk of the bill,) you could individuals a much larger check if thats all that was involved
The bill is just moving things along to the economic collapse. Might as well get it over with and then we can be hunting Democrats. 79% increase in gun sales since slow Joe took over. Trump dropped gun sales so much the industry was in trouble for a while.
Not a single Republican in either chamber of Congress voted for this heist. The Democrats are tossing a pittance to the American people while sending much, much more to their cronies and henchmen, foreign and domestic. They have thrown the gates to the border wide open to bring in a new population of people who will be beholden to the Democrats and (they hope) will vote for them in perpetuity. They seek to spread California's AB-5 dysfunction nationwide with the PRO Act. They cater to criminals while ignoring the plight of their victims. They huddle behind fences and barbed wire in the Capitol City, fearful of the wrath of their disenfranchised erstwhile countrymen. They should be fearful. This will not end well.
