I feel like our side really hasn't gotten to the heart of the debate about the infrastructure bill

AOC and Joe Manchin are playing chicken with each other

AOC wants the House's crazy reconciliation bill to pass with 50 Dem Senators, and Manchin/Sinema are roadblocks
If the price of a Manchin NO on the House reconciliation bill is 19 Republicans voting YES on the Senate infrastructure bill - is that actually a bad deal?

It would be really nice if we won those Georgia Senate seats btw
And hey - maybe this infrastructure bill is terrible, I'm still reading up on the details

But McConnell isn't a fool, nor is he a huge fan of spending money on Democrat priorities, and he's certainly not a sucker for bipartisanship

There's more going on here
He held on the For The People Act and the filibuster

Someone tell this guy about what the Japanese did in Nanking
In 1945 Japan wasn't even trying to win WWII

They were only trying to kill as many Americans as possible to force us to negotiate

We still haven't run out of all the Purple Hearts minted in anticipation of some 1 million American servicemen deaths invading Japan's home islands
And if you think the only moral course for the United States was to come to terms with Japan's brutal military dictatorship, say so

For all the idle talk of “going back to Jim Crow” from Democrats, a vaccine passport for NYC restaurants would be the real deal
The real “white fragility” is rich white NYC liberals not wanting to be around unvaccinated black and brown people
Same people: “Any policy with a ‘racist’ impact, even if it is neutral on face, is in fact racist.”

In addition to being a bunch of virtue-signalling disloyal jerks, Black Rifle Coffee makes really crappy coffee
Didn’t mention this before because I wanted to give a friendly brand a chance to get its footing…but there were big problems

No roasting dates on the bags, for instance…they were selling stale coffee
Pro tip is that you want to see roasting dates, not expiration dates, on your coffee

Expiration date just tells you when *they* think their coffee is bad

In reality it’s bad a lot sooner

Every legit roaster puts a roasting date on their coffee

This attempt to cajole social media companies into censoring Americans should be seen as impeachable
This is America, we should not tolerate federal government censorship

It should be deterred with the strongest possible sanction
If Trump was impeached for a phone call Biden can be impeached for running roughshod over the First Amendment

Wait, is David French demanding that conservatives refrain from using government power to achieve conservative ends?

Must be a day that ends in -day
If this isn't a distillation of @sohrab Ahmari's great coinage - "David Frenchism" I don't know what is.

"Don't write new law to solve a novel problem, instead, rely on older law and hope that courts read a broad statute the way you want them to. And if they don't, oh well!" Image
Another aspect of David Frenchism:

"This old law that liberals wrote is good, right, and just. But this new law that conservatives would write is un-American. Never mind that they are based on the same principles and constitutional foundation."

You mean *our* mountain

Losing wars has consequences
In the same way that the mountain doesn't belong to the tribes the Lakota took it from, it doesn't belong to the Lakota anymore
Of course, if you'd like the mountain back, @LakotaMan1, the simplest step is to just embrace your American citizenship, and voila it's yours again
