    all it would take is a phone call to the IRS and the DoJ

    Not only is Manchin dirty - I bet his daughter is even worse. She's the reason Epipens are insanely expensive - just for starters.

    I think Biden is...

    I would add he certainly is ideologically brainwashed. He won't just cancel student debt in a simple fashion with an executive order - his brain is thoroughly ruined by ideology. If he does anything on that - it will be a confusing, idiotic mess with endless paperwork and loads of means testing. And I assume he actually thinks of cannabis as a "gateway drug". So an EO for that is an impossibility.

    how violently the GOP wants them all dead

    I felt so stupid last year when I finally realized the dems had begun starting to ignore that and with all their might pretending it didn't actually happen. They have world-class levels of denial. They seem to have no evolutionary instinct for self-preservation. It's shocking and fascinating.

    a breaking point

    I want to gleefully say I want the dems to lose ~80 seats in the house and a bunch of senate seats. But - of course - that's a new more horrible nightmare. The dems would flail around in total panic like a chicken without a head and then they'd make a huge lurch to the right in a moronic effort to stay alive.
