Biden deserves and won't get credit for negotiating with the worst-faith Republicans every to “run” government. I hate the fact that he had to agree to cuts; I love that we’re (likely) not driving off the cliff, which Republicans were apparently absolutely prepared to this time around. Businesses and major donors failed to raise the hue and cry at the GOP about default—they’ve gotten too used to brinkspersonship.
#TexasGOP I’m surprised, did they need a sacrificial lamb to show that the Republicans are the good guys or was there just too much dirt? 🤔

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ Republican-led House of Representatives impeached state Attorney General Ken Paxton on Saturday on articles including bribery and abuse of public trust, a sudden, historic rebuke of a GOP official who rose to be a star of the conservative legal movement despite years of scandal and alleged crimes
@AlliFlowers The new low, just how low can the GOP go? As low as they need to…🤬
Older man comes unglued making demands unreasonable for a civilian.
Even TFG’s lawyers are so stupid they don’t realize only the sitting president has pardon power.

White supremacist caught at the White House.
Assault with a dangerous weapon
Reckless operation of a motor vehicle
The threat to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on a President, Vice President, or family
Many of you, even here, take issue when I call these people domestic terrorists
Missing the forest for the trees and getting upset over semantics
Let me make myself clear. White supremacists are domestic terrorists
If you see it otherwise then you’re part of the problem
Trump last night attacked Fox News for showing a polls that show him losing to Biden. Trump does not want his base to see that polls show he will lose. Why? He is already laying the groundwork to lie about 2024 results and incite another attack https://www.mediaite.com/trump/there-go-her-ratings-trump-lashes-out-at-laura-ingraham-after-she-airs-polls-showing-him-losing-to-biden/

DeSantis to launch presidential bid with Elon Musk, NBC reports
Elon Musk said Friday on Twitter that he would support Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis if the latter were to run for president in 2024.
So that basically assures that Trump will stay off Twitter. Silver linings!

"Stop overspending" was never an issue when the top 1% paid a 91% marginal tax to help fund America's infrastructure, domestic mfg, & social welfare during Jim Crow
It became an issue when Jim Crow ended & Reagan slashed taxes on the wealthy
In short, its 100% rooted in racism. Even though white Americans in conservative states are USA's largest welfare recipients, "more white people in the US oppose welfare programs, in part because of increasing "racial resentment."
This would make it worth AR goggles.
