The two possibilities seem to be 1) textbook failure of leadership by Biden, who wants numbers to go down but doesn’t grapple with problem 2) Biden producing exactly what he wants–millions of migrants in US (who cares if asylum claims are legit?) https://t.co/HGSDcDRnSD

Isn’t the answer to Dense Pack a Synecdoche approach? Focus on one thing –e.g. Trump’s bold BS that “I did finish the wall.” Document what crap it is, including photos of empty gaps (suitable for rally placards), quotes from MAGA types who live near the vast unwalled portions. https://t.co/lZnUwKBZ49

The Waxman Berman machine did a lot of good. They also did some stupid things, like delaying the LA subway for decades in a dispute with Mayor Tom Bradley.
