IT’S FUN WATCHING BILL MAHER BEING SLOWLY RED-PILLED: Bill Maher defends Manchin and Sinema from furious progressives saying ‘they might have their thumb on the pulse of the average Democrat:’ Slams Congress for playing ‘chicken’ with shutdown deadline.

Maher opened his panel discussion of Friday night with journalists Matt Taibbi and Katherine Mangu-Ward by discussing the chaos on Capitol Hill between the warring Democrat factions.

Progressives are threatening to tank Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan, which centrists support, if the moderate faction does not also back the broader $3.5 trillion social spending bill that is packed with their priorities.

Maher noted that House progressives are ‘very mad’ at Sinema and Manchin for blocking the broader bill.

‘They’re mad at them because they’re not progressive enough — forgetting that they only got elected because they’re not progressives! They’re moderates,’ Maher said.

‘Here’s my question: Does spending more money make you a better person?’ Maher asked.

‘And maybe these two, Sinema and Manchin, do they might have their thumb more on the pulse on the average Democrat in the country?’ he asked.

I’m not sure why anyone should really be worried though, based on this recent headline at America’s Newspaper of Record: Biden Says We Can Afford $3.5T Bill Because China Just Gave Him This Cool New Visa Card With A Low Introductory Rate.
