The GOP could have provisioned funding for the government in the BBB which went through Reconciliation, thus avoiding any Democratic votes needed. They did not, which I can only assume was out of intent.

You gave them your sweat-equity, now you have to give them our natural resources.
She’s panicking and grasping for straws, as she watched her childhood dream of be of being President evaporate. Tragic, really; had she been noble and honest she may have achieved it.

In the very last moment of Trump’s life, I hope Melania rushes to his bedside and as he draws his last breath, she leans in and softly whispers, “Obama has a Nobel Peace Prize”.
