You got to love this: "The op-ed began with McConnell recounting what Republicans have accomplished over the past two years: passing tax cuts, confirming two Supreme Court nominees and rolling back federal regulations." No mention of course of blocking the hearing (not even talking about confirming) of Merrick Garland for Supreme Court. And rolling back federal regulations also does not specify the olling back of environmental protections to pay off reward the Repub big $$$ donors. Yeah, by all means let's become bipartisan and cut SS, Medicare, etc. so we can give even more money away to the Repub $$$ donors - what a nincompoop

Bill to protect Mueller blocked in SenateLegislation protecting special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired was blocked in the Senate on Wednesday. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) asked for consent to bring the legislation, which has stalled after being passed in the Judiciary Committee in April, to the Senate floor for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked his request. Full story here: Bill to protect Mueller blocked in Senate

Now all of the sudden. the debt will become an issue. B-T-W, I thought McConnell was part of the swamp that President was going to drain. Isn't he an establishment RINO?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blocked his request.
There's that spirit of bi-partisanship Mitch is so famous for. Why he even requested it today from the Demos!

I knew what this was about before I clicked...
“I saw Mitch McConnell issued a plea for bipartisanship??!?? At first I thought it was a joke - an article from The Onion or a bit from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Then I realized the English language needs a better synonym for chutzpah.” Dan Rather

We pretty much knew what the caravan was all about: installing fear of the unknown in voters. It worked in some districts and states. It also did not work in other districts and states.

NastyWoman, how much bi-partisanship, do you think you could drum up right here on the board? Like,, How many on the Left here are going to suddenly start helping support "SOME" of Trumps Policies??,,, or how about even one of Trump's policies??

So where down the road, there will be a Democratic President,, No matter whom it will be, they will get the same treatment as Trump is getting now,, or worse! What the hell do you think that the Republicans did to Obama? Are you forgetting the grief he got? Hell, I remember someone hanging an effigy of Obama. How about them calling his children monkeys? What about talking about his wife wearing a sleeveless dress? Obama and his family got grief for all 8 years, and the one thing that they did the entire time was show class - something highly missing from Trump and his crew. Trump is making his own grief. I joke with TD when I read a Borowitz report that he doesn't have to dig too much for topics, all that he has to do is look at the current actions of Trump.

The same amount you and the repubs here supported in two of Obama’s terms. Dems will do exactly what Repubs have done for years. Block and obstruct and whine and expect and expect some more. YAWN. Your next complaint please.

Tell us which of the republican/dt initiatives deserve bi-partisanship? There probably are some, but if they couldn't get them passed even when they had unchecked power maybe, just maybe, even their own party members didn't think they are all that good.

1) i didn't even comment about trump. i am kinda in a mood to forget about him, candidly. 2) i don't hate anyone that is not responsible for the senseless killings of innocent civilians. i am sure that trump will be responsible for that, eventually, and when he is, i will hate him.

So it will be all the years of republicans getting back exactly what they gave in the past - obnoxious behavior, partisanship, obstruction and non-cooperation. You are welcome.

Today Paul blocked his counterterrorism appointee, Flake said he won’t vote on another judicial nominee until mueller protection gets a senate vote, and Fox News sided with CNN.
Forget th Dems.
