flexghost.This is a masterclass on how to handle your detractors.
Biden smiling at how easy it is to play the GOP like a gitfiddle.

Republicans looking like fucking idiots is always a good time, but like... you all heard the actual substance of this right? Are we not talking about that?
You're cheering on "the toughest set of border security reforms we’ve ever seen in this country?" Unprecedented, unilateral executive power over the borders? Hiring cops by the hundreds and hundreds?
Isn't literally all of that, you know, *exactly* in line with the Republican Party platform?
Coyoty@jargoggles @flexghost It is, but they never really wanted it to happen, and Biden made it happen. They can't complain he was holding it back. They wanted to own him, and got owned.
@coyoty @flexghost
Republicans didn't want Biden to be the one to pass it because they feel like it's a political win for him. That's not my opinion, that's the prevailing take on why it got gridlocked.
Passing a bill that Republicans would have gleefully supported if Trump were president isn't the win people are making this out to be.
