    My fil always hits me with this “he wants to, he wants to but you have to understand, we don’t have the votes!” Always money for war tho, never an explanation how republicans ram their agenda through even at times when they’re a minority.

      If only the pesky Congress were majority Democrat seats, like in the first part of his presidency!! But wait, even then it doesn’t count because those gosh darn rotating villains in the party foil the vote every time!! Do not ask why they are allowed to remain in the party and retain their committee seats if they’re directly stopping the things the party and president want to get done, that’s Ruzzian propaganda!!

        Naturally and yet biden uses special executive privilege primarily for getting funding through (even when we obv know congress would broadly support it), never for anything that would benefit someone who wasn’t ruling class which is what my issue was
