Chuck Todd opened his show this Sunday blaming Joe Biden for Republican intransigence, as though there's a single one of them in the Senate that was ever going to work with him in good faith. Todd also gave credence to the sorry excuses given by the likes of Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin and their opposition to making changes to the filibuster, the death of democracy be damned.
