17. "legislation that I think is eminently reasonable in the eyes of the world"

That is so far over the top, he's looking at the earth from the dark side of the moon.

He knows it is unreasonable, and he knows most of the world considers the American extremist right's views on abortion rights to be radical, cruel, oppressive and wrong.

He knows for a fact that everything he has just said is a lie. He knows Biden will veto anything of this nature if it ever embarrasses the country enough by making its way to his desk. ALL Republicans know it.

If the "SUPREME COURT" message wasn't clear enough (and the outcome proved that it obviously wasn't) in 2016, maybe a "VETO POWER" message WILL be clear enough in 2024. If we blow this--and I think it is so far ours to blow--the only thing of which we will get our national "fayah shayah" will be coat hanger abortions.
