    I really expected them to TRY codifying Roe, even if Manchin would object

    The democrat party already completed their goals of

    1. not being trump and
    2. being in power while vaccines became available

    and it seems they have literally no plan to govern otherwise

      For about the first half of 2021 I was 100% certain that they'd finally pass some totally shitty and awful cut-to-the-bone version of BBB. But then my faith started to fade that they'd be able even to do that much. I don't even remember the month (September?) but I saw a headline that senator Chris C00ns was going to give a speech on the filibuster.

      He's from Delaware so even somebody with no knowledge of DC would assume Biden could keep C00ns on a very short leash. Nope. His speech was in favor of the fucking thing. I knew right then Biden's term would be utter dog shit. I didn't expect much but stuff like zero dollars on climate spending are failures of biblical proportion.
