I'm literally LOLing at this World War One meme and my wife is looking at me like I've gone completely insane.

There’s a big asymmetry between the parties in that “pass one big bill and appoint a bunch of judges” made Trump a huge hero to Republicans while even very mainstream, non-radical progressive institutions set a much higher bar for Biden. https://t.co/0PhKuE615w

Me, "calling Manchin's bluff" and demanding a vote on a BBB plan he's already rejected: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
