Republicans don't want bipartisanship or unity

Their plan until the midterms is fairly simple...first is to make things slow and stall, second is to filibuster and block, then when the Democrats finally pass something they will scream and fake outrage about Democrats not including them and being partisan.... it looks like Schumer and Pelosi are hip to their game, but geez I hope Biden isn’t falling for it

If you get a chance to watch Rachel's A Block when it is available, she will take you through the history from Obama's White House.

I think you have nailed the GOP plan, but this time it won't work!

What the majority of Americans truly want is not important to them.

They'll often lie, distort and brainwash to argue that they're trying to help "most Americans", but that's their typical BS not supported by their actions.

"Do you expect us to give you bipartisanship and unity?"

"No, democrats! I expect you to die!"



The only unity they want is us lining up behind them.

They did it to Obama, and to Clinton before him.

Well, w/Clinton, they had Newt's new horrific form of politics that ushered in the beginning of GOP power in Congress after 40 years in the wilderness.
