1. I don't have A FUCKING THING IN COMMON with these people and I would never want to.

NOTHING.

[CentralMass]

2. Yep, me either. Bipartisan my arse.

3. Common ground is getting rid of Citizens United and renewing the Voting Rights Act...

...so that dark money's influence on elections is curtailed and all people can vote secure that all votes will be counted. Additionally, if it is still possible (I don't recall if it is so), the ERA needs to be ratified or brought back up and ratified. Also, abortion rights need to be written into federal law.

There can be no more of this pretense of voter fraud that Trump and the MAGA-verse have bemoaned since well before the 2020 election and no more tolerance for Trump's incitement of the 1/6 Insurrection or for Trump's illegal possession classified materials.

Common ground only starts when the prison cells' doors shut behind Trump et al.

[Rhiannon12866]

4. Well said and I couldn't agree more.

I think I voted in favor of the ERA the very first Time I voted ever...

Enough of TFG and all his BS, the president's speech inspired the country to step up to the plate and move forward!

5. It was the crucial Clyburn wisdom and reputation, that put Biden over the top summer of 2020.

It was the manchin bipartisan folk who gave Biden his big legislative win recently - lest we forget already.

[i'm no manchin fan at all, but Biden conspicuously gave his big legislation signing pen, to manchin at the signing ceremony].

Biden CAN get more done, the way he got his big legislation done. We need bipartisn help to win, in 2022 & 2024. The anti-trump thing alone, has not been able to do it.

6. Last night's speech was extremely impressive.

Hoping it serves to give hope to those of us who have been dismayed by the traitorous behavior we've been witnessing for the past 5 years - and serves as a warning that their time is up. *sigh*

And if anyone can have success in reaching across the aisle, it's Joe Biden. With over 30 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive Branch, he has the experience and knows the players. This really is his time...

7. So well said. Friday night beckons already. Thank you.

[Autumn]

8. I think I'm gonna pass on any bipartisan manner. I share no common ground with those Magats.

[empedocles]

9. As Biden said, no maga. However, bipartisan, yes.

[Some republicans have carried the Committee ball, and some have been helping].

[Rhiannon12866]

10. As been said, Those who have testified before the January 6th Committee have been Republicans

They're the obvious witnesses...
