The Biden, Democrats legislative dilemma

 Naomi Lim:

...

Biden and Democratic colleagues have "painted themselves into the proverbial corner" as centrists seek to appease liberals, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, according to former Republican Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp.

"If they are unable to pass the Biden-Bernie-AOC agenda, they will infuriate their radical, leftist base. But if they do pass their massive big government socialism scheme, they risk enraging the rest of America and set the stage for an election blowout in 2022," the ex-Tea Party Caucus chairman told the Washington Examiner.

"Democrats in disarray" has become a punchline to mock liberal dysfunction on Capitol Hill, according to political strategist Juven Jacob. But clearing comprehensive legislation is a challenge for any party "under the best of circumstances," he said.

"Add Democrats' narrow margin in the House and Senate, and it makes that task even more onerous," he added.

...

They seem to think they can spend their way to political success by pushing the Bernie agenda which has little to no grassroots support.  They have eschewed working with Republicans to come up with an acceptable alternative.  At this point, I would bet on an election blowout to match that of both Clinton and Obama in their first term.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
