Is this a time for bi-partisanship?

The Republican Party, much the same as the White House, looks at all politics thru the prism of party loyalty.

Even during a critical time, as we are now experiencing, they still cling to their Party dogma.

There comes a time when we are all in the same boat together and we must recognize that reality. We must stand united against internal enemies, just as we stand against external enemies.

I wonder if this is a good time for members of Congress to go on leave?

They need to discuss this issue and come to a consensus.

Just my opinion.

The problem is the current majority of Republicans refuse to do so at this time. They still are trying to get their agenda through before the worst case scenario might take place.

No need to wait until the country is in tatters. Oh wait. Nvm

Corrupt party before country reps and spineless we go high dems. Too bad we go high doesn't mean smoking a doobie (at least I would have more respect for them).

on my social platform (facebook) I declared war. No more polite talk. Donald is a Russian agent even if only for cash. If you support him then fuck you-I printed that on my status and if you don't you are a silent supporter.
