How the fuck did overturn of Roe become Biden's fault? [View all] boston bean Jul 2022 OP

It's less about saying it's his fault, and more about criticizing his response. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2022 #1

I don't think you've really listened to him. boston bean Jul 2022 #2

Why not? WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2022 #3

I mean, what this comes down to is "make a plan and give it to me in 30 days." WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2022 #17

It is all going to be immediately challenged. And probably go to the scotus. boston bean Jul 2022 #22

It's the myth of the bully pulpit, speeches have magical persuasive powers. betsuni Jul 2022 #106

Just what do you think the bully pulpit is exactly? betsuni Jul 2022 #47
