I always read that as "promised to unite with" those in the GOP who have retained a shred of sanity. In the same way that we want to have a petrochemical-free economy by 2030. It's a good goal, but we just do not have anything to accomplish it at the moment.

If they could guarantee the money only went to poor white folks before it trickled up to the store owners and farmers... The voters that wanna kick poor single mothers and the marginalized love the thought, that's why they vote GOP.

Yeah, it's demented for Republicans to insist on Trump's over ten trillion in 'tax cuts' and free money to the ultra rich and then whine a Dem does better paying for it without hurting enough poor people and America over it. While screaming blue murder they might not get away with enough tax cheating.

Close. Pink Floyd goes woke for their 50th anniversary. Certain fans are unhappy.

That's great! It's so on-brand for Pink Floyd. They presaged it. It makes the album cover look so very different now...
