    I don't know if anything this week shows the lie of lack of bipartisanship being the problem when the

    1) the House GOP is refusing to take up the immigration bill the Senate GOP obtained on their behalf (and instead impeaching? DHS sec for lol refusing to lol take action?)

    2) the Senate GOP refusing to take up the Houses very own tax cut bill because it would... give (the country) "a win" in the words of Senator Grassley

    These bipartisanship people are just dumb.

    You do know that without bipartisan support no legislation right now can pass Congress.

    DCI Sinema unpeels the greatest mysterious onion in the world


    Associated Press:

    Abandoned by his colleagues after negotiating a border compromise, GOP senator faces backlash alone

    As the Republican quietly watched from a floor above, briefly the outsider after defending his legislation in a last Senate floor speech, fellow negotiator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona was down on the floor excoriating the Republicans who had abandoned Lankford, one by one, after insisting on a border deal and asking him to negotiate a compromise on one of the country’s most intractable issues.

    “Less than 24 hours after we released the bill, my Republican colleagues changed their minds,” said Sinema, a former Democrat turned Independent. “Turns out they want all talk and no action. It turns out border security is not a risk to our national security. It’s just a talking point for the election.”
    What a dope.

    This past week shows exactly that the lack of bipartisanship is a problem. You have a bill that should’ve passed easily yet it was partisanship that killed it.

    Americans have been conditioned to understand that "bipartisanship" usually means "the wealthy elite approve of the bill".
