I'm seeing an uptick on the number of segments on "bipartisanship" in the news.

Especially now that it's looking more and more like the Democrats will win big in the Fall. Just saw a segment on MSNBC about it.

Funny how that works. When Republicans win, it's all about their agenda and how the Democrats better get in line.

But when the Democrats are about to win, it's all "why can't we all work together as one nation?".

Biden and the Democrats should not fall for this bullshit.

When they’re winning, they stonewall us and say, “Elections have consequences.”

Moscow Mitch set the tone in 2008 when he said the Republican goal was to make Obama a one term President. Fuck them and their Russian sellout Party.

“We have a mandate!”

Translation: we’re gonna steamroll with our agenda. Get out of the way.

There’s no effort for bipartisanship. None. Zero. Nada.
