supergenius messiah JOE BIDEN said he was going to do a bipartisan, that’s why. He painted himself into this corner because nobody could beat the universe’s worst president of all time any other way.

Home in is the correct one though!
Right, and because no one ever says it that way, it’s jarring to hear the correct phrase.
Senate Republicans released new details of their roughly $618 billion coronavirus-relief proposal Monday, including $300 a week in unemployment benefits through June and $50 billion for small-business relief, according to a summary of the proposal’s spending. The proposal, announced Sunday, would reduce the $1,400 direct payments to Americans President Biden has called for to roughly $1,000.
The fuck?

The GOP plan phases out completely at $50k and has no state and local aid.
What cult is that? If it’s more than just watevs, you ought to be able to identify the other members somehow.

He was appointed for a multi-year term blah blah blah.
This is where Democrats just plain suck. Fire him, let them sue you, tie it up in court forever, then quietly drop the case when the Biden Administration is over. I get its a horrible precedent but we are so far beyond that having any value given how the GOP now operates.

The no state and local aid thing makes no sense to me, coming from Republicans. I would think that hurts their power base more than cutting individual checks.

State and local aid is never getting dome outside of reconciliation without untenable pension and labor reform (i.e. nationwide right to work). There is no sense even wasting a minute of time or an ounce of political capital on it.
What do you think the odds are that the Dems restore SALT deductibility when they get around to their tax bill?
I’ve been doing a lot of soul-searching since the Capitol Riot last month. I thought I might have to re-evaluate some of my foundational principles about the nature of democracy and the basic goodness of the American people.
But now I’ve concluded that basically I was right all along. While I obviously underestimated the capacity for violence of a very small fraction of the crazy wing of the Republican Party, I think it’s clear now that the “Insurrection Fever” has broken, the threat is essentially over, and the nation is settling back into a sense of boring normalcy.
Trump has been silenced on Twitter and that has made a huge difference in how this could have gone. We all heard about QAnon idiots losing their minds and realizing they’d been conned when inauguration day came and went and nothing happened. We all saw the inauguration militia protests that amounted to nothing. Nobody wants to be seen as a loser and a sucker. It’s over!
The Republican Party is not going to be the party of QAnon and conspiracy theories and sedition. The adults just aren’t going to let that happen. They want to be the party of compromise! They know unless they get rid of Marjorie Taylor Greene, she’ll be hung around the neck of the entire party going into the midterms. Just imagine the media relentlessly badgering every Republican candidate with questions about 9/11 and Sandy Hook and whether they support carrying loaded guns onto the floor of the House.
So mark my words, Republican resistance to the new administration will normalize over the coming weeks, but establishment Republicans will be willing to give Biden a chance. And that chance is all that will be needed to move the country forward. And as conditions improve and we move gradually in the direction of a progressive utopia, resistance – including from centrist Democrats – will continue to crumble.
