Views: Last week, GOP Minority Leader Mitch McConnell kicked off the infrastructure debate by promising lockstep opposition to President Joe Biden's $2 trillion proposal. This week, Senate Republicans are suggesting that maybe, just maybe, they could support a plan that's roughly a third of the price, or some $615 billion, but only if the White House finds a way to pay for it without raising the corporate tax rate—because GOP donors, of course. “There’s an easy win here,” Blunt said on Fox News Sunday. Riiiiiiight. So easy, in fact, that Republicans took a pass on even trying for a solid four years under Trump. Biden's response? Sorry, fellas, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
Here's how desperate GOP-TV is to deflect attention away from deregulation, Texas GOP politicians and their horrid response to the disaster in their own state.
The United States is under the most duress we've seen since the Civil War, the recent president is being tried in the Senate after a mob stormed the Capitol and killed at his direction, a pandemic is raging, and what are the Republicans worried about? How to preserve and strengthen their own political futures! Ha, ha! You gotta admire those cockroach-like instincts: 120 anti-Trump Republicans are in talks to form a center-right third party that would run on 'principled conservatism,' report says || Via Businessinsider https://t.co/kOsGDeijoF And even though of course I'm grateful for the work anti-Trump Republicans did to put out the massive fire their party created in the first place, I'm also repulsed. Because if you go back far enough, virtually everything in "principled conservatism" has racism as its base. Austerity is about punishing poor people, school funding is about segregation, voter suppression is about making sure only white people vote, etc. And their right-wing media structure props up that racism.
