Is it just me or is anyone else tired of hearing every time the House or Senate pass legislation that is good for America and the world that the media calls it bipartisan because a handful of Republican's or in this case less than a majority of Republicans voted for it. Call it what it is A Democratic Party Victory for Americans.

(4,555 posts)That we have come to a point where BIPARTISAN is considered newsworthy.
Our Republican majority Congress has made BIPARTISAN a dirty word. They dont want any Democrats involved in their legislative wins. Thats why you had no support for this aid from the hardcore MAGA congresscritters.
The real joke is that many angry Republican VOTERS got annoyed when no Democrats helped during election of a speaker . They complained that they wanted compromise and boohoo, the Democrats are evil.
Republican voters and their representatives are full on idiots. And intent on destroying democracy.

Russia giving up, Pooty getting an international black eye, and the laughter that goes with it?
The first is acceptable to Putin, the second acceptable to Ukraine, and the only way to get him out of Ukraine, is to force him out. That takes violence. Until he has had enough, he is going to keep up his offensive.. Which means, the Ukrainians will have to keep fighting, to keep their sovereignty. So, what is YOUR solution to this mess?

(17,635 posts)would you go to Ukraine (or some other war zone) and personally work for peace - right there where it is happening?
Or, what are you doing personally to make substantive change in the direction of ending the violent conflict? (doesn't have to be on site to be valuable - but on site really shows commitment.)
