It makes the good point that unity and conciliation is earned. The current Republican Party deserves none of it after the outraegous obstruction methods that they have employed. And the press is playing right into the Republican BS. And not just the right-wing squawk machineâ¦we would expect nothing less from themâ¦but when the New York Times starts playing the âbut, what aboutâ¦gameâ, its annoying and obnoxious and deserves to be ignored. Use the political power you were elected to use to pass powerful and popular legislationâ¦and ignore that buzzing sound from the right. They donât deserve anything but our scorn.
