And he's become pure evil, a shell of a man, caring only for corporate profits and political power.

To me he is the face of a Republican party that sold its soul decades ago, pursuing naked power instead of governance, winning instead of doing anything that would benefit us.

Slime.

I do not understand this bit about what benefit the Dems could possibly get from this 'deal.'

It reminds me of when I was around 6, this kid Marty lived next door. He had taken an old shoebox and built a flea circus. He charged me $0.25 - a nice shiny quarter - to see the circus operate, and I paid him. When I got home, my mom asked me where my quarter was, I told her, and she made me go back to Marty and get it back. See, she didn't like that 'deal,' and she definitely would not like Biden's 'deal.' She make him go and get it back.

Just saying.
