Budget Deal Just Signed by Biden Contains Ban On Flying Gay Flags at Embassies, and Old Raggedy Joe Biden Is Angry About It

I expect some yelling. Some yelling mixed in with some whispering.

Joe Biden was apparently fooled into signing into law a ban on flying gay pride flags at American embassies, with his administration vowing to fight the measure despite his signature approving it.

As reported by Axios, the ban was included as a provision of the $1.2 trillion spending bill that had been passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate, before being signed into law by Biden on Saturday. Biden's State Department had first authorized the flying of the flags, including the rainbow flag and the "progress" flag featuring colors that represent so-called "transgender" people, as well as black and brown lines, in 2021.

Apparently unaware of the provision's inclusion until after it had been signed, a Biden spokesman issued a statement saying that Biden "believes it was inappropriate to abuse the process that was essential to keep the government open by including this policy targeting LGBTQI+ Americans."

Democrats are angry that Republicans snuck something into a garguantuan 1,000 page must-pas spending bill.

Well, maybe don't write 1000 page spending bills, assholes.

Meanwhile: Time reports that Obama is nervous and had lunch with Biden to tell him that he's f***ing everything up and on the way to a loss.

TIME reports that Barack Obama has had two private visits with Biden, over lunches, where he has told Biden that changes have to be made to his campaign or Trump will win. Last June, Obama warned Biden that defeating Trump would be harder in 2024. The country is in a Carteresque malaise. Voters are not feeling all the wonderful successes Biden boasts about on the campaign trail. The truth is that 60% of Americans say they are living paycheck to paycheck. No one but the most loyal Biden supporters believe his happy talk about the economy.

Obama advised Biden to move more aggressively to make the race a referendum on Trump. What did Obama think Biden was doing all along? Old Yeller can't deliver a speech or make remarks without trashing Trump and MAGA Republicans. He demonizes Trump and his supporters.

Obama realized over the next six months that Biden didn't get the message. Or, he was simply failing to take Obama's advice. In December, he returned to the White House. Biden invited him to lunch. Obama's message this time was reported to be more urgent. He told Biden that the re-election campaign was behind schedule in building out its field operations. He discouraged Biden from continuing to lean on a small group of White House advisers. Again he told Biden that Trump would win in November if he didn't make changes.

Per CNN, Biden trails by 8 in Michistan.

Former president Donald Trump leads President Joe Biden by 8 points in Michigan, according to a CNN poll released Friday.

The poll shows 50 percent of likely Michigan voters supporting Trump, with only 42 percent supporting Biden. Biden only holds a 35 percent approval rating in the state, while 40 percent of voters view Trump favorably.

Trump's voters are also far more enthusiastic about his candidacy, with 62 percent of likely Trump voters saying it is more of a vote "for Trump" than "against Biden." For Biden, however, these numbers are almost exactly reversed, with only 37 percent describing their vote as being "for Biden" and 63 percent describing it as being "against Trump."
