I don't believe them.

But that's neither here nor there. I think Biden admin and Dems should work to make this succeed regardless.

This. My biggest concern about that was always the condition migrants were kept in, not that they were detained.

Wasn't sure how to feel about that when it came out. Pretty strict and looks like overcompensation not gonna lie.

I think "Black Lives Matter" is far more self-explanatory than "Defund the Police".

I would have gone with "Reform the Police", not that we can go back on it anymore.

Sanders is a pragmatist when the chips are down. I think his career has shown that. And he's never felt the urgency he does now. And I'm glad he thinks that way. He was very quick to back Biden.

Or a loyalist.

I think Trump is going to reach borderline Eternal President level, where anyone taking up the Trump mantle is going to have to throw his name out there every so often for the base.

Individual Congressmen have to grow a spine and stand up to their so-called leaders' ******** from time to time.
