President Joe Biden stepped up to the House GOP on Tuesday, posting a chart on Twitter sarcastically emphasizing that the debt ceiling bill Republicans narrowly passed last week will hurt veterans’ benefits.
Not exactly high production values in that chart.
Well, any Republican would know “shameless lying” and “reckless politicizing” when they see it. Not so much when they themselves actually DO it, of couree.
I think Biden had a simple chart for simple minds. Also, doncha know there’s an upcoming government shutdown coming on? No excess money for pricey graphic artists!
Are the “simple minds” the Republicans in Congress or the members of the media?
It is amusing that it’s printed on white house letterhead.
Gotta dumb everything down to MAGA levels…
It’s cute, but the Democrats’ messaging is a mess. The need to clearly distinguish budget negotiations from the debt ceiling. The press isn’t doing it, and the Democrats are happily playing along inside that misleading frame.
I never hear the simple statement that “We’re eager to discuss spending AND revenues in a budget negotiation, where it belongs. But it’s not negotiable whether the US meets the spending obligations both parties have made.”
“… and it would all be completely unnecessary if the administration and Democrat lawmakers would just roll over and cooperate with our agenda.”
Yes.
Actually, he should’ve asked Katie Porter for help on this. She’s a master at this kinda thing.
The chart is a stuck out tongue to the Magas.
Um - the White House for sure is trying to highlight the difference - from the article I linked:
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted on Tuesday that Republicans drop their demands.
“It is Congress’s constitutional obligation to act, not hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage unless we allow them to make cuts to programs hard-working Americans rely upon. Threatening to default and crash the economy unless the president agrees with Speaker McCarthy’s entire agenda isn’t just unreasonable. It’s dangerous,” Jean-Pierre told reporters at the daily briefing.
She said that at next week’s meeting, Biden will make clear that he remains willing to have “a separate process” to talk about spending priorities.
“He is not going to negotiate on the debt ceiling,” Jean-Pierre said.
Just saying that boxes would work better, including for dumbing down.
Look for the media to focus on how Joe doesn’t know how to use Flow chart symbols, thus he is old and incapable…
Looks like @occamscoin got to it first 
No, I neither said nor implied anything about Biden.
Just ribbing you…
Cheeky.
Should have used a sharpie
