I don’t get it. Why waste time on trying to come up with any compromise deal with republicans when you know dam well they WON’T EVEN VOTE FOR IT ANYWAYS. Don’t repeat the same mistakes of the 1st term of Obama. This rep. group just knows obstruction and oppression.

I love ABC news.

He is hosting a light lunch for them in the recently renovated Rose Garden.

Mitch says, “I will stop Biden.” Biden response, “let’s make a deal.” Why DNC and POTUS so gullible?

Don't settle for half a loaf, Mr. President.

That’s all what the republicans know how to do so well 🙄
