* GOP BLACKMAIL POLITICS, IN A NUTSHELL
* GOP BLACKMAIL POLITICS, IN A NUTSHELL: Relatedly, a great quote from Steve Benen:
There is no scenario in which House Republicans will accept concessions of any kind to reach a compromise. Indeed, it’s the whole point of extortion politics — GOP lawmakers threaten to harm Americans on purpose to ensure that compromises are never necessary for them. The “concession,” in Republicans’ minds, is letting the hostage go without pulling the trigger.
