    Biden. Didn’t. Write. The. Bill.

    I agree with you, but let’s take this as far as it goes. Biden vetoes and then what?

    The Republicans in congress suddenly change? Where’s the reality other than “Biden refuses to sign, no one gets paid this Christmas”. Veto power is strategic not really a blunt tool.

    This isn’t a Biden thing it’s on the GOP and the voters that put them there. Congress wrote the fucking bill why is that Biden’s fault?

      It’s amazing how you frame Biden’s surrender as necessary and not the GOP’s. They’re responsible for the bill, but despite every other shutdown being blamed on them, would just then refuse to fund the troops they claim they love so much. You’ve so internalized “they’re crazy, they’ll do anything”, which isn’t actually how any of these confrontations play out, that you think the only reasonable solution is “just give them what they want”.

        So it’s amazing how I understand the three branches…. How they work and how specifically they are breaking down…
