Bill Kristol: Limp Opposition

Description

Thom Tillis finally showed some backbone and opposed Trump—because of the giant Medicaid cuts in the Big Fugly Bill—but now he has to self-deport from the Senate. Meanwhile, the bill funds a giant internal police force for Trump, and gives a handout to the Dr. Strangeloves of Silicon Valley who don't want AI regulated. It would also cripple wind and solar energy, which even the ex-shadow president says is insane and destructive. Plus, ICE's racial and ethnic targeting, the plutocrats are the biggest suck-ups, and Peter Thiel—the man who gave us JD Vance—isn't sure he wants the human race to continue. 



Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

Tim, closer to home, Canada has had minority governments more in the last 20 years than it has had majorities. So they rule by coalition and need to cooperate between different parties. Some of whom sit distinctly apart from each other. It works and often is much better than a majority.
