"Bipartisanship" -- the word itself -- made an appearance on Capitol Hill Tuesday, as both Republican and Democrat senators used the word multiple times at their respective news conferences.

Speaking of the omnibus spending bill that omits key Republican priorities, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he’s “proud…that we worked in a bipartisan way. Our Republican colleagues, I give them a lot of credit,” Schumer said, calling out Republican leaders by name.

These are the criminals who are EXEMPT.

“At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen.”
Justice Louis D. Brandeis
Burdeau v. McDowell, 1921

Yeah. Exactly one day after they were crowing about how they “won” and Trump “lost”, and sent out donation requests repeating that. FUDEMS

McConnell and Ryan grovel to Schumer and Pelosi. I can understand why the Mediascum praises this as “bi-partisanship” but seeing McConnell and Ryan pretend that they did a good thing is beyond nauseating. Who is supposed to be the majority in Congress?????

"They rolled right over like I told them to," continued Shumer.

"Next, I'm going to teach them to bring me my slippers", Shumer was quoted as saying.
