Anyone else tired of DC Democrats playing Kumbaya [View all]

with the republicans.

Obama thought he could bring them around. Wasted several years of his presidency.

Now Biden thinks he can.

I support and respect both of them. I admire their optimism and their belief in their ability to move mountains, but . . .

Both should have listened to Hillary. She sat through 8 years of deplorable basket asshattery while Bill was president.

If we don't get the voting rights bill passed, there won't be a Democratic president or Congress for a generation.
