The most important relationship in D.C.? Biden and McConnell have a history

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The power dynamic in Washington, D.C., next year will be centered on two men with 80 years in office between them, a history of making deals and sparring and who sometimes even refer to each other as friends.

Heading into his administration, the relationship between President-elect Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is taking center stage. With a closely divided Senate, their personal dealings will be key to just how much, if any, of the new president's agenda can be accomplished.

Those who know both men say they have a mutual respect and built a level of trust between them over the years — which could be key in being able to facilitate agreements. But those familiar with the pair — and the current hyper-partisan state of politics — say that's only going to go so far.

Former Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., and later defense secretary under former President Barack Obama, told NBC News he thinks the Biden-McConnell dynamic "can work for the benefit of our country."

Sorry but I still don't trust Moscow Mitch. Let's hope we win in Georgia.

1. In light of recent reports: I don't think Moscow is going to make it four years.

So the question will be... who is next?

3. What's the latest on McConnell's health--besides

his purple hands? Thanks.

7. Purple hands and his bruised nostrils.

That’s all; but he’s ancient and I think he’s not going to make it four years.

If he makes it, he’s the devil we know. If he dies it’s the devil you don’t know.

2. Maybe this past history is important

Nah.

Moscow Mitch is too far gone.

4. I'll believe it when I see it. And I don't think I'll ever see it.

The GOP is too far gone. They're drunk on Gingrich's nasty koolaid & they ain't goin' back. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see it.

5. David Jolly, a former Republican congressman, has described McConnell as an "assassin"

McConnell's scorched earth political tactics have seriously harmed our country and he can't retire soon enough. As truly awful Trump has been, McConnell has been so very much worse. Biden and McConnell may go way back, however, it won't make any difference at all. Mitch has an agenda he won't ever deviate from, no matter what. It would be naive to ever think otherwise. A scorpion will always be a scorpion and their sting can be deadly.

6. I dearly hope Joe is not upset when Moscow Mitch fucks with him. Because he will, regardless

of their past.

It's like the story of the frog and the scorpion. The scorpion can't act against his nature.

I think Joe is smart enough to know that.

8. Biden /McConnell did not put Garland on Supreme Court 2016

Biden/McConnell relationship did not work for democratic values during years when Mc Connell was majority leader and Biden wa vp.

If anyone has evidence otherwise please post now.
