LBJ was using his famous arm-twisting methods with NAACP leader Roy Wilkins and Urban League executive director Whitney Young, but without much success.<\/p>\n<p>Frustrated, he launched an attack on the left-wing of his party, declaring, \u201cA liberal is intolerant of other views.

LBJ was a fighter and brilliant tactician, but Biden is neither. Johnson honed his leadership instincts in the Senate, but Biden spent nearly 40 years there and learned only how to talk the talk.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The contrast was on display Friday as Biden surrendered to his party\u2019s most radical element without a fight. His visit to Capitol Hill was billed as a bid to forge a solution to the Dems\u2019 split, but instead Biden blinked and waved a white flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By giving his blessing to the radicals\u2019 refusal to vote on the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal until they get a vote on the $3.5 trillion grab bag of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ist trash, he turned his back on the central promise of his election and guaranteed his presidency will continue to hemorrhage public support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/JOE-MANCHIN.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Senator Joe Manchin and several other senators slammed Biden's infrastructure plan saying that it cost way too much. \" class=\"wp-image-19679995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/JOE-MANCHIN.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/JOE-MANCHIN.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/JOE-MANCHIN.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Senator Joe Manchin and several other senators slammed Biden\u2019s infrastructure plan saying that it cost way too much. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Drew Angerer\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Biden\u2019s comments after the meeting revealed his capitulation, saying first that \u201cwe\u2019re going to get this done.\u201d But that bravado was instantly neutered when he added: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter when. It doesn\u2019t matter whether it\u2019s in six minutes, six days or six weeks. We\u2019re going to get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Try to imagine LBJ saying he was fine with a minority of his party sidelining his agenda until they felt like addressing it. In fact, try to imagine any president folding like Biden did.<\/p>\n<p>His flop is especially odd in that passing the infrastructure bill would give him something he desperately needs: a victory.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>So far, he hasn\u2019t delivered much of anything except trouble and failure and his poll numbers continue to slide downhill. The Afghanistan debacle, the border mess, the still-raging coronavirus and rising inflation are taking their toll on his presidency, and getting passage of the infrastructure deal, which garnered nearly a score of GOP votes in the Senate, would give him bragging rights on a popular issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That should make it a no-brainer for all Dems. After all, a failing, unpopular president is likely to cost the party control of Congress next year given the party\u2019s narrow margins.<\/p>\n<p>But rejection of common sense is a key trait of the irredeemable nature of the left. Johnson, by the time he made his cannibal comparison, already had delivered the Great Society agenda, from voting rights to civil rights to Medicare and Medicaid, but it wasn\u2019t enough for the left.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>For his part, Biden has backed nearly every far-left piece of nonsense in the wind, including a voting rights bill that would put Washington in full charge of federal elections. He talked about making Puerto Rico a state, packing the Supreme Court and ending the Senate filibuster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also showed himself to be an open-borders president and adopted the language of the worst race-baiters by insisting the nation is guilty of \u201csystemic racism\u201d even while he calls Americans \u201cgood people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>None of these positions reflect the Joe Biden people knew from his long tenure in Washington, where he personified the word moderate. Indeed, when he talked repeatedly in his campaign and at the inaugural about \u201cunity\u201d and working as hard for those who didn\u2019t vote for him as those who did, there was reason to hope he was serious about trying to heal the nation\u2019s breach.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yet here we are, with the president remaking himself as a leftist, the left calling it insufficient, and he shrugs his shoulders and says OK.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Pelosi_biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Speaker Nancy Pelosi greets President Joe Biden as he arrives at the Capitol building to spur Democrats into supporting his infrastructure bill on October 1, 2021. \" class=\"wp-image-19680018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Pelosi_biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Pelosi_biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/Pelosi_biden.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Speaker Nancy Pelosi greets President Joe Biden as he arrives at the Capitol building to meet with Dems about his infrastructure bill on Oct. 1, 2021. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Rod Lamkey \u2013 CNP \/ MEGA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The House Dems\u2019 refusal to give Biden his infrastructure bill until they get a vote on the $3.5 trillion spend-apalooza is mind-boggling when you consider that a monster that incoherent and expensive will never pass the Senate. Biden is said to have talked of cutting it to $2 trillion or so, even as Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) says $1.5 trillion is his maximum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The haggling over the contents and price could take weeks or months, with ultimate passage uncertain. And there is no guarantee the infrastructure bill would pass muster with the left after all that.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rest of the progressive caucus said no to Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the same reason college students try to silence conservative voices.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re in Congress but still don\u2019t understand that, in the adult world, you can\u2019t always get what you want. And that to get along, you sometimes have to go along.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s true in every family, workplace and neighborhood, but it\u2019s telling that such basic truths of everyday life elude many lawmakers. No wonder Congress is leading the country to hell.<\/p>\n<p>Still, because all roads in Washington lead to the White House, the question of why Biden has ceded so much of his power to the insatiable far left demands an \u00adanswer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the answer is obvious. He\u2019s a weak, befuddled president who is the emptiest of empty suits. All talk and no conviction, he couldn\u2019t stand up to the Taliban and can\u2019t even stand up to the wing nuts in his own party.<\/p>\n<p>What a disaster.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Suspicious_ayes_on_Eric_Adams\"><\/span>\u2018Suspicious\u2019 ayes on Eric Adams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Judging from my inbox, there are lots of New Yorkers who aren\u2019t buying the idea that Eric Adams is for real.
