    There needs to be something like the narcissists prayer for people who say stuff like this.

    Let’s call it the haters prayer.

    “He didn’t help.”

    “And if he did, it wasn’t even that great.”

    “And if it was, it’s not even really due to him”

    “And if it was, it still doesn’t matter due to $INSERT_WHATABOUTISM_HERE”

    “And if it still matters, he only did it to help himself (get elected).”

    Amen.

      This bill doesn’t affect me and I still think it’s suspiciously timed. So how is this narcissism? Genocide Joe sucks. Too say otherwise is lying to yourself and others

        I never said this was narcissistic, I meant that, similar to the moving goalposts of the narcissists prayer being used by a narcissist for justification, some look for more and more reasons to discount good things that others have done.

            Fuck if I know, do you know how long the process typically takes? I certainly don’t. I was googling this while walking the dog, I’m no expert.

            I work as a government contractor and from my experience things can be held up by the silliest little things, and processes take a lot of time.

            When the recent XZ security exploit, everyone was all worried about it nearly making it’s way into Debian, a popular flavor of Linux, and at work we just laughed and said that means we’d have to worry about it it in 10 years because we’re that slow.
