The "both sides" meme only goes so far. I've never seen anything like this

crop of Republican in Congress. Politics and angling is always part of the game -- it's washington, for Christ's sake -- but these guys are a different breed altogether. Usually the play is TO GET SOMEONE LIKE GARLAND as the nominee -- not to just refuse to acknowledge that the president has authority and state up front there will be no meetings, discussions, or hearings.

As much heat as he took for saying it, I think Biden hit the nail right on the head with his "can't negotiate with terrorists" line. These guys are a fucking cancer and they've turned our legislative branch into a black hole for anything constructive.
