... I believed "a new era of bipartisanship" might be possible. Now I see it's clearly not. Especially not with today's GOP.

If you stand in front of the Panzer tanks & reach out your hand in an effort to find "common ground" they will drive right over you & you'll become part of the ground.

I'm done playing nice while Republicans run us over.
