Today's News: Updates from all over

Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act today -- and Biden is no dummy, unexpectedly handing Manchin the pen even though Schumer and Pelosi are right there too. In spite of how the Dems are hopeful that the 2022 elections will give Dems a larger Senate majority, there's always a chance that Manchin will again hold the balance of power so this could be a gesture that he will remember.

(I assume everyone is up on the memes for "Big Fucking Deal" and "Thanks Obama".)

Towards a man bold and humble

As with Trudeau, the American media also search for something, ANYTHING, to rag on Biden about. The New York Times is now entranced by Biden's sunglasses - maybe because they help him emit too much Dark Brandon energy? Who knows, but let's try to make it into a scandal somehow:

"But his sunglasses!"

And speaking of politicians, here's a statement from the mayor of Petterborough about the yahoos this weekend who wanted to arrest the police force:

The City of Peterborough had anti-vaxxers in town this weekend, doing stupid anti-vaxxer stuff. The Mayor of Peterborough has responded and, well, I give you the *actual* Queen of Canada. https://t.co/hJM4wzZXtL
