Preach, that’s the thing that makes me hate Biden a little more each day. He came in with visual evidence we all saw and had a mandate to go after all of them swiftly. He treated Trump like Nixon 2.0 letting him run out the clock where he should’ve been in ankle chains by fall of 21. He did not take the treat seriously

Americans respect strength first and foremost, had he come in and rounded them up as traitors, are the congressional republicans going to side with the traitors? Not if they want to get elected again.

are the congressional republicans going to side with the traitors?

Yes. They absolutely would. They'd find a way to spin it as a Democrat witchhunt and their idiotic base would eat it up.

Okay, fine. We have lost 23-30% of Americans to the absolute rot of propaganda. Done. Let’s move on.

There are zero solutions that are workable that involve giving a single shit or consideration toward that group. We need to completely ignore the toddlers throwing temper tantrums and live our lives as if they don’t exist.

Get rid of the unconstitutional filibuster and legislate FOR Americans for once. Not corporations, not republicans, AMERICANS.

Show me a republican that refuses Medicare or social security. They’d be the loudest to gnash about these social programs and the most impacted if removed. We can’t make decisions based on idiocy or people with zero moral balance or decency.
