these tears are real.

advice for Joe: ignore and sprint ahead on Covid relief. you have no honest partners on GOP side.; politico.com/news/2021/01/2…
Dem House passed $2T relief in May.

GOP Senate wouldn't allow a vote.

GOP couldn't care less abt this issue. and 0 will vote for Covid relief *no matter what the bill looks like*
spoiler: ***entire*** GOP agenda is making sure Biden gets no victories.

there are ZERO Republican votes to be won on Covid relief.

Dems shouldn't waste another day on them
and yes, it's going to be amaze to watch **every** GOP senator vote no on Covid relief--which has 75% support from public, via Gallup poll.

would be nice if Politico mentioned GOP had **ten months** to negotiate a big Covid bill and for ten months the GOP told Dems to f**k off
Hmm, pass $1.9T relief bill in effort to save US economy, open schools, prevent local govt from going bankrupt

OR

not pass bill bc GOP might be “angry”
the funny part is DC press actually thinks the second one is real option

when you oversee the party that loses the House, WH, Senate, while yr President incites insurrectionist mob, and you *still* get feel-good coverage in the Post; washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/ronn…
she spent months endorsing claims the election was stolen. But hey, she’s just a complicated woman doing the best she can....
she refuses to condemn a Congresswoman who endorsed murdering Speaker of the House. but sure, let’s give McDanial a nice photo spread in the Style section

my latest—Beltway’s beloved narrative is a fraud; pressrun.media/p/memo-to-medi…
“the press remains committed to portraying the GOP as a mainstream, center-right entity. That's why it keeps botching the "reckoning" story”
“the Beltway press badly misread the insurrection story and assumed so-called responsible members of the GOP would do the right thing. The height of naïveté came when nameless McConnell aides started calling reporters and telling them that McConnell maybe supported impeachment.”

painfully dumb editorial from WashPost, which plays along w/ beloved Beltway charade re: "bipartisan" Covid relief.

GOP has opposed Covid relief for 10 moths.

WP: Why can't Dems pass bipartisan bill??

good grief; washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-b…
would a bipartisan Covid relief bill be "the best way"?

Yes.

has GOP everyday for the last 300 days advertised its opposition to Covid relief?

Yes.

why does Beltway press play this dopey game?
Dems could adopt **every** suggestion WP makes for Covid relief bill

know how many GOP yes votes Dems would get?

ZERO

I don’t understand news values of long stories/interviews w/ random Trump supporters who still think election was stolen; nytimes.com/2021/01/26/us/…
until it’s couched in larger theme of brainwashing, these are a waste
seemingly normal white guy became Trump fanatic

.....and?
