View submission: After ousting Liz Cheney, Republicans prove they're a bigger threat than 9/11 hijackers

They proved this a long time ago. I just wish there was anyone in a position of power willing to do something about it. Nope. Instead we get the guy who insists on working with them.

From our perspective - I agree.

But behind closed doors...I dunno.

See, I think a lot of Republicans are mostly for show - to keep their idiot base voting for them.

I think - I hope - Biden is being discrete and making deals behind closed doors. The infrastructure law isn't the best for progressives, but it's something. And that can be built upon. If Biden were an asshole like Trump, there wouldn't have been anything - or much less.

Or .... I am living in Fairy Tale land and we all got fucked.

i mean no he doesn't. He's been pretty progressive but he's also powerless. He doesn't have the senate.
