"DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BORDER!"

"Okay. Here's everything you want."

"Everything we want? Forget it. WE DEMAND A TAX CUT!"

"Okay, here's your tax cut."

Republicans govern by the safe assumption their base just won’t see stuff like this in their echo chambers. It’s sad. Biden needs to blast this stuff openly and force them to defend it.

They stand for facism, racism, hatred, cruelty, bigotry, anti-rationality, god.

"The package is also running headlong into the schedule in the Senate, which is expected to begin the impeachment trial of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on April 11."

OMFG... The priorities.

GOP's apparent only governing principle: Only we are allowed to do anything.
