Jen O’Malley Dillon, President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming White House deputy chief of staff, expressed regret over her explicit remarks about Republicans that GOP lawmakers pretended to be shocked and offended over.
Fuck that. Why does our side always fucking apologize when the Right has a fainting spell?
Fuck them. Should double down and say that calling a rose a rose is perfectly appropriate, and if they don’t like being called dumbass-piece-of-shit-motherfuckers, then they should stop being them.
Not so much a cave as a tactical hit and run. Made her point; made it again when she “apologized” and when she garnered even more press and so far is still where she was before she said it.
There we go again… always apologizing. That is why they never make inroads among the white working class, those people like fighters. There was only one way to fix it was replace “Fuckers” for “motherfuckers”, wingnuts like people that .
As Josh’s current column discusses, Congressional Republicans are inherently bad faith actors. Conciliatory gestures towards them by the Biden administration will be essentially meaningless in terms of affecting their behavior. Congressional Republicans will compromise (as in the case of the current Covid relief package) only when they see it in their political interest. Otherwise, they will attack and obstruct. Playing nice won’t make any real difference.
