“We are going to do something that I will say is slightly controversial but it shouldn’t be. We are going to indemnify policemen and precincts and states and cities from being sued. We want them to do their job. Our police and law enforcement has to come back and they want to come back and they want to do their job. And we are going to indemnify them so they don’t lose their wife, their family, their pension, and their job. We are going to indemnify policemen and law enforcement. We are going to tell them to get out, we love you, do your job.” – Trump, speaking last night at the New York Young Republicans Club gala.

    They can’t do anything as the minority

    And won’t do what they campaigned on as the majority.

    Our country is designed to make change difficult, as the Senate filibuster proves. We would need 50 Senate votes to change that, and Democrats fell barely short in 2020.

    Democrats will always fall barely short. They will always stand in their own way. There are always enough manchins.

    They’ll pass legislation that can’t be more progressive unless we have more senators

    So goes the excuse, yes. No matter how great the majority, centrists always find enough no votes.
