56. Republicans may be willing to work with Democrats

Tue Jan 7, 2020, 11:14 PM

Jan 2020

if we were able to pummel their asses into near oblivion by voting them out. Once they were made to suffer for years without any power, they may think twice about being obstructionists. But, once they regain power, they'll go back to being their shitty selves. Give them an inch, they'll take a fucking light year. Surely Joe is smarter than that statement he made.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
