The State of the Republican Party is ... unhinged

The president’s speech put the lie to Trumpofoxians’ perseverating claims that he’s sleepy, weak, and/or befuddled. So much so that they’re suggesting — seriously! — that he must have been given drugs to hype him up. Except that Ronny Jackson’s no longer at the White House (tinyurl.com/pillmill4u).
President Biden presented a progressive vision for America, in which there’s less poverty and more opportunity. His subsequent budget proposal provides for that and lots more, by raising taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations. And it would still lower the national debt by $3 trillion over 10 years. There followed, of course, screams to low Hell from Republicans’ ultra-wealthy paymasters. With Republicans controlling the House, it’s DOA (Washington Post: tinyurl.com/2sayno2u).
