The president should personally target slaver senators and representatives by name, go into their states and districts, primary them, general them, refuse to communicate or even acknowledge them, have leaders strip them of committee assignments. FDR did it. President Biden's disgraced predecessor who wasn't even an American president did it. The bully in the pulpit is the President, not some concussion syndrome-compromised senator from Coal; not some sun-stroke addled, callow, first-termer. Go to Kentucky! and make the turtle snap his head back into his shell in Fear.
We didn't have a government shutdown in the first 204 years after Independence. Since 1980 we have had nine. Enough. With the potential exception of the de minimis 1980 shutdown which affected one federal agency, the Federal Trade Commission, for one day--all were caused by Republicans. These Republican shutdowns lasted a combined eighty-two days, the longest, under President Biden's illegitimate, disgraced predecessor, lasted thirty-five days.
We are being attacked from an enemy within. The president has the power to crush this enemy. He needs to use Whatever. It. Takes. McConnell said recently "Now, we're going to see if Democrats can govern." President Biden should show McConnell that we can.
