find out too.

Because the only "compromise" he will ever accept is if he is given more than he asks for AND is able to destroy some random poors for fun afterward.

9. You don't. You pick him up by the shell and put him on his back.

Then you tell him that you won't flip him over until he starts acting like he cares more about this country than he does about the corrupt cabal of shitheads currently dong business as "The Republican Party".

Moscow Mitch has already made his deals with Putin and Satan. He doesn't care about anyone else.

He's just that evil. I think he and his wife dine on roast children every night.

You do anything you can to see him defeated out of his seat or give Democrats control of the Senate. After all his bullshit obstruction, including the Garland nomination, he has proven himself to be a vile, soulless creature with zero respect for our laws or the American people.

7. Nowadays you can't compromise with any reTHUG because they won't even bring up House bills

in the senate. reTHUGS don't even try to pretend that all they have left is their historic and present ratfuckery. The best uses of Democratic energy lies in educating We The People and voting the reTHUGS out in a fair and secure election. Remember the way that the reTHUGS treated President
Obama? They have shown us clearly who and what they are: Unamerican treasonous bastards of no use to any but their own dwindling base. BTW, what was the consensus in your previous thread?

To keep either his precious Majority, or his own seat, he will likely trade you the Presidency.

11. To what end? He doesn't want to see any progress on America's problems.

Certainly not if it requires spending the money that rich people could be having.

EDIT: I guess, in that vein, you could pay him off?

12. The only compromise that's happened is on continuing resolutions

to extend budget deals or end shutdowns. Doing nothing serves his interests just fine.

If you let the House minority write the bills, I'm sure he'd find a way to pass them through the Senate.
