Why is that so hard to repeat? Why is it so hard to take advantage of gopper idiocy?
Why is wash, rinse, repeat so hard for the liberal party?

5. Because we have the slimmest of margins and need them onboard

If we need them, we have to negotiate.

Technically we wouldn't need them if we want to do a slimmed down bill to only raise the ceiling - that can be done via reconciliation.

We do need them for all of the proposed bills however because we are also playing chicken and seeing if we can use this as leverage to get some other wants passed.

2. I'm looking forward to the day that we have majorities in both House and Senate

and put these nasty racists in their place. They are a pox on this nation.

3. It could cost 6 million jobs and vaporize $25 trillion in wealth, but...

... if Republicans think they can hang it like a millstone around Biden's neck, they don't care who it hurts. Same with pandemic. For a party that boasts so much about how they love America, they sure don't seem to give a shit about Americans themselves.

4. I imagine Newt Gingrich at home, watching FOX News with this assessment

and wildly clapping his hands in glee.

He so wanted this to happen under Clinton.
